    Default Sonic Board game designs and documents

    People seemed to like the Megaman documents so I thought I would try this again. This time with Sonic the Hedgehog.

    All licenses (such as Milton Bradley) are given the Sonic bible giving a bit of history on the character and a set of guidelines to follow. Here is the cover and the first two pages.







    These are the early designs of the Sonic the Hedgehog board game. Now I do not own the board game so I am not sure how close these are to the final release. These sheets are large and could not be scanned.

    Yeah sorry for the poor images, these sheets might be too big for my camera.

    How many pages is it? Does it follow localized names or the originals?

    Very cool, I like how they took the 2D side scrolling game concept and pretty much used the same designs for the board game. I didn't even know there was a Sonic board game. I should check that out. I take it that there is probably more than one of these bible things, for each business partner?

    From the looks of this yes. It would have been sent to anyone who would use the Sonic image. I have a later edition (that one came with Sonic Aladdin lunchbox material) that comes in a hard cover 3 ring binder book and so I suspect they did update this every couple of years.

    Do you mean the bible? There are about 30 pages in the bible.

    Not sure I follow you on the rest of your question.

    I think NayusDante is wondering which region the character names used in the "bible" are consistent with. Judging by the fact that the second paragraph of the page of scanned text mentions Dr. Robotnik, I would assume NA lingo, but I'm honestly not sure what else could be different.
