GameTap Celebrates Sonic's 15th Anniversary With Rare Content From Import-Only Console, Lock-On Genesis Games, And New TV-On-The-Web Programming
This week, GameTap is celebrating the 15th anniversary of
Sonic with an array of hard to find content that will make
fans of SEGA's speedy hedgehog blue with envy. Among the
exciting additions to the industry's largest catalogue of
video games on demand is the rare SG-1000 Japanese-only 8-bit
console featuring "Girl's Garden," the first game ever
created by Yuji Naka. GameTap will also have plenty of other
SG-1000 games for subscribers to enjoy.
Sonic's birthday wouldn't be complete without three new
lock-on SEGA Genesis titles: "Sonic The Hedgehog and
Knuckles," "Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic the Hedgehog 2",
and "Sonic 3 - Sonic The Hedgehog & Knuckles." GameTap TV
will also air the following shows:
- Tapped In: Sonic (explores the great stories behind one of the greatest characters in video games)
- Sonic Anniversary Spot (a trailer that celebrates Sonic's anniversary, his exploits over the years, and his games in GameTap).
- Survival Guide: Tails Adventure (an expert teaches a novice player tips and tricks for becoming Sonic.
