I kind of hate Sonic 1, but I keep coming back to it despite that.
The music and graphics are great, and so is Sonic's sense of speed.
There are some annoying levels, especially the water levels and the special stages. However, I've played the game enough that they don't annoy me as much as they did. That's why I'm conflicted. I don't think this is a good game by today's standards, but I enjoy replaying it. Plus the first couple of zones are super fun.
The game would be good if not for the chaos emeralds, which are required for the true ending and are annoying to get. Thankfully, the Switch version has save states, letting you replay the special stages and making the game a lot more tolerable.
