I played the hell out of 2 and 3 back in the day on my roommate's Genesis. He had 1 as well, but 2 and 3 got all the play.

I recall liking 2 best, but to be honest I don't remember why.

Wasn't there a rumor that Michael Jackson had done or was going to do some of the music for 2?

The first one. The level editor was really fun as well. I wish they had that in an 8-bit Mario game.

The first one. Some of the best Genesis music ever (Spring Yard Zone, anyone?) and a true step forward for the gaming experience on the platform. 2/3/Knuckles were good too, but not revolutionary.

I liked the first one. Fucking magical. It's possible one sequel or other did some aspect better, but I never enjoyed any Sonic game the way I did the first one. It was the right game in the right place at the right time. By the time 2 rolled around the following year, I was a lot less interested in that type of game. Just timing.

I have to go with Sonic and Knucles, interesting and I love having an actual difference when selecting the characters. I don't recall a lot of diference in Sonic 2 when selecting Tails, and in Sonic 3, Tails still isn't that interesting, Knuckles is a very cool character in my opinion =) and the whole "I'm not the good guy" thing is always cool XD.
I also played Sonic 3D blast, a good game and Sonic Pinball... first I hated it and after it was "OK".

Yeah, for me it's sonic 1 and Spring yard Zone's music is the best for the genesis.

Yeah, the original and Sonic 2 are tied in my mind. The original Sonic was the first 16-bit game I ever played and it really blew my mind when I was 10 years old or whatever. I love the soundtrack for the original too.

I never really played Sonic 3 though. Or any game after Sonic 2 now that I think about it.

Sonic and Sonic 2.

Sonic 3 was quite nice too but I didn't even play it half as much as the prequels.

God, I must have put 23498978234 hours in the first Sonic, it came as a real revelation for me after all the slow-mo j-n-r's.

I enjoyed the first one the most, even though they made a lot of improvements to the sequels.

Sonic 2 for me, I liked the level designs and music best.. and it was really awesome having 2P Co-op play with Tails as well.

The first Sonic will always be my favourite, closely followed by 2.

I thought 3 was awesome as hell. 2 is second best. Then 1, then... who cares.

Sonic 2. Maybe because it's the only one I played as a kid.
