The original Genesis version of Sonic the Hedgehog is now available for download on the 3GB Nano, 5GB iPod and the Classic iPod. The game can be downloaded after the jump.

Playing Sonic while listening to your favorite songs (which is actually possible) is the perfect past time when you’re traveling. It is in general an accurate port of the original, with only slight loading between levels.

Sonic was the first game I played, and I played it on the Sega Master System 2. So experiencing this on an iPod would bring back memories. Sadly, I only have a Creative Zen.

US users can download the game at this link.
