Original 'Sonic the Hedgehog' Speeds on to Android

The original Sonic the Hedgehog is now available for Android through Google Play.

Sega released the port, which has been modified for touch controls, to Android Thursday. Along with all the original Sonic the Hedgehog goodness, players will also be able to unlock Tails and Knuckles, characters that originally appeared in later Sonic the Hedgehog games.

This Sonic port was previously released for iOS and already received the free update with Tails and Knuckles.

Sonic the Hedgehog was originally released for the Sega Genesis in 1991, making the franchise more than 20 years old. Sonic has appeared in dozens of games since then.

The Android version costs $2.99 on Google Play.
