After I downloaded the emulator I thought it would be fun to see if I could beat my old record on Sonic The Hedgehog. I recorded a video and posted it on You Tube. Here's where the fun begins. I want you download the emulator and game for free and see if you can beat the time. My current record is set at 29 Seconds.

Let me know your final time by either recording a video, taking a photo of your last screen, or take a screenshot. Afterwards I will post the top 5 scores on my website. The overall winner will get an old Sega Mega Drive (genesis) game pad as a trophy. If you want to enter the competition register on my blog www.alanlife.com
