20 Years of Break-Neck Speed!
Sonic's 20th birthday is today! The famous blue blur's first game, Sonic the Hedgehog, was released on this day back in 1991. Since then, he's captured the hearts of millions of gamers around the world. True, he's been through rough times in recent years (Sonic Heroes & Sonic 2006), but with his new back-to-the-roots gameplay (Sonic Colors & Sonic Generations), he vows to get back on the fast track to super-stardom!

We only have one Sonic game on Abandonia thus far (Sonic CD), but it's widely regarded by fans as the greatest Sonic game ever made. As time goes by, we'll be adding more classic Sonic games to our ever-growing list of abandoned PC games.

So what are you waiting for? Catch the hedgehog and celebrate with him before he speeds outta here! Click through to find out what the hedgehog is up to right from his own mouth!

Many thanks to the speedy SpiDol for bringing you this birthday news.

Haters gonna sue

The US Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the defendant in the case Brown vs. Entertainment Merchants Association. What does this mean? Uhhh dunn-noo! I wasn't paying close attention to the news, but smart people told me it means that the Supreme Court has said videogames are protected by the freedom of expression enshrined in the First Amendment of the US Constiturion, which protects any and all media, and so a recent California law (which this ruling just overruled) is unconstitutional and void.

This law reportedly attempted to place regulations on the sale of violent videogames. Please note that this news concerns the USA only. Surely there have been and will be similar initiatives elsewhere to censor videogames, and laws are different in different countries.

Please click away on this news post to discuss all this in the forum! And while you're at it, please tell us if you must whatever we got wrong in this news post (law students please be gentle :). And special thanks to Expack2 who gave us the heads up here at Abandonia about this important news, and to Gamasutra.com where I first read it.
