Sonic became such a strong icon for the Mega Drive that I bet if you ask random people what games were available at launch, most would answer "Sonic 1".

Yet the Mega Drive came out in October 1988 and "Sonic the Hedgehog" was released in June 1991, a whole 2.5 years later.

The actual 1988 launch titles were "Space Harrier II" and "Super Thunder Blade".
