This page has a list of articles for Sonic the Hedgehog and covers short magazine articles not deserving of their own page.

File Date Source Title and comments
Logo-pdf.svg














1991-xx-xx














Génération 4 (FR) #30: "Février 1991"
Logo-pdf.svg














1990-xx-xx














Electronic Gaming Monthly (US) #13: "August 1990"
"International Outlook: Sonic the Hedgehog"
Very brief coverage from Tokyo Toy Show 1990 in issue #13 EGM. The magaizne claims to be the only US video game publication covering the event.
Logo-pdf.svg














1990-xx-xx














Electronic Gaming Monthly (US) #13: "August 1990"
"Outpost Genesis: Sonic the Hedgehog"
A second quick look later on in the magazine. The game is grouped with dozens of games from Summer CES 1990, but it's not thought Sonic was on display there.
Logo-pdf.svg














1990-xx-xx














Electronic Gaming Monthly (US) #14: "September 1990"
"International Outlook"
More coverage from Tokyo Toy Show 1990 in issue #14 of EGM.
Logo-pdf.svg














1990-xx-xx














Electronic Gaming Monthly (US) #16: "November 1990"
"Interface: More Sonic the Hedgehog!"
Colin Rey from Humber Heights, Ohio asks for more Sonic info from EGM. The magazine gladly obliges with another screenshot from Tokyo Game Toy 1990.
Logo-pdf.svg














1991-02-01














Mean Machines (UK) #5: "February 1991"
"Pricks at the Speed of Sound"
Brief article about the game's appearance at the January 1991 CES at Las Vegas.
Logo-pdf.svg














1991-02-16














Computer & Video Games (UK) #112: "March 1991"
"Animal Magic"
Paragraph about the game's appearance at the January 1991 CES at Las Vegas.
Logo-pdf.svg














1991-xx-xx














ACE (UK) #43: "April 1991"
"Games News: Sonic the Hedgehog"
Paragraph about the game's appearance at the January 1991 CES at Las Vegas. It mentions the rotating Special Stage, and is accompanied by a early screenshot of Marble Zone.
Logo-pdf.svg














1991-xx-xx














Sega Visions (US) #4: "April/May 1991"
"Sega Genesis 16 Bit: Sonic the Hedgehog"
Logo-pdf.svg














1991-xx-xx














Electronic Gaming Monthly (US) #21: "April 1991"
"Sonic the Hedgehog"
File:MeanMachines UK 08.pdf Logo-pdf.svg














1991-05-01














Mean Machines (UK) #8: "May 1991"
"Preview: Sonic the Hedgehog"
Three-page article about the upcoming game, which it states is expected in September. Gameplay is briefly described, though most of the pages are taken up by screenshots, which are from a prototype version. In particular, Spring Yard Zone on the second page is very different. Sonic the Hedgehog is also a cover article on this issue.
File:SegaVisions US 05.pdf Logo-pdf.svg














1991-xx-xx














Sega Visions (US) #5: "Summer 1991"
"Sonic the Hedgehog: Great Moments in Hedgehog History"
File:CVG UK 115.pdf Logo-pdf.svg














1991-05-11














Computer & Video Games (UK) #115: "June 1991"
"Preview: Sonic the Hedgehog"
Two-page article about the upcoming game, where many of the images are from an early prototype. It mistakenly says there are 15 levels split into 5 acts, even though 5 zones are shown total. The first page also mentions a power-up which gives Sonic invincibility and Speed Shoes at once, which is probably a reference to the unused S-monitor which has been found in the game. It also mentions that U.S. Gold has bought the rights to publish home computer versions.

1991-04-25














Raze (UK) #8: "June 1991"
"Sonic the Sega"

Logo-pdf.svg














1991-07-15














Computer & Video Games (UK) #117: "August 1991"
"CVG Hit: Sonic the Hedgehog"
Four-page review of the game. The article is poorly written, as incorrect names are used and there is even an upside down image in between pages 3 and 4. They give the game a 96 for graphics, 93 for sounds, 94 for playability, and 91 for "lastability", with a 94 for the overall score.
Logo-pdf.svg

Translation

Title: Sonic the Hedgehog

Sega/Release Date Unknown/Price Unknown/ACT

Subtitle: “Could it be another Alex Kidd?”

“They are trying to create a new original character with this “Sonic the Hedgehog”. Please stay tuned for further details.”

Main text: “For release next Spring comes an original character action game from Sega.

“We don’t have details on what sort of game this will turn out to be but judging from screens it looks quite different from anything we’ve seen to date from Sega. We think the colorful and bright graphics could turn out to be popular.

“It remains to be seen whether this will turn into another Alex Kidd Osaaru for Sega!”

Left picture caption: “The title screen. Will this become another popular original character for Sega?”

Right picture caption: “Will it be cute character graphics with whimsical action?”
