Sonic the Hedgehog 2

The sequel to one of the most popular platformers ever introduces an all-new playable character by the name of Tails. Sonic 2 also features two-player capabilities, with player 2 controlling Tails in a horizontally split screen mode. The game's graphics are an improvement over the original Sonic the Hedgehog's, but it remains faithful to the tried and tested lightning-quick gameplay. Sonic 2 is often considered by fans to be superior to it's prequel, and as such, is widely touted as being the best platform game of all time.
