SegaSonic the Hedgehog

SegaSonic the Hedgehog, also known as SegaSonic Arcade, is a game created by Hitmaker, published by Sega and released for System 32 arcade machines in June 1993 for Japan and September 1993 for the United Kingdom, and (presumedly) the United States. There are three known revisions of this game (A, B and C, respectively), and a prototype for it as well. In the game, players can choose from three characters: Sonic the Hedgehog, Mighty the Armadillo, or Ray the Flying Squirrel. This is the only game Ray has appeared in. The story goes that the three were captured by Eggman and placed on "Eggman Isle." On the isle, Sonic and co. must avoid traps set by Dr. Eggman by using a single button and trackball interface. This game can support up to 3 players. Recently, SegaSonic Arcade was supported with MAME version .99, with only a few minor problems.
