How?

While your PC may not run the game directly, it can instead run the stock OS (Android) via a software called BlueStacks, which is basically an android emulator. With access to Google play store, one can easily download and play Sonic the hedgehog on PC.

Sonic Saga

Most folks who have played games previously especially during the 90s are well aware about Sonic and the various versions of game released. Sonic has been released for both Android and iOS and is available to download without any annoying IAPs. The game brings back the classic 2D side scrolling sonic environment to smartphones. The game offers the standard features available in mobile games such as achievements, save points, leaderboards, time trials and also multiplayer support. The levels are kept identical to the original without any changes in topology overall. Power ups from the original games also exist which makes the experience unique.

The Gameplay

The game features three playable characters to start with – Sonic, his companion Tales or Knuckles the Echidna, though the last character made appearance only in Sonic 3. The controls are on screen and feature a virtual joystick with movement controls on left and jump/spin on right. The controls are not totally unusable but often too small for the average fingers. Instead it is more likely that the game will be far more feasible with a controller/joystick (preferably MOGA controller) paired over Bluetooth. The gameplay is enhanced mostly by the complex and challenging levels as well as power ups like timed attack mode. Also, the spin dash mode is something interesting as it makes the game easier and less frustrating than the original.
