Actually I am a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog :thumbsup:

Recently, there have been no games for PC but only for consoles like XBOX360 etc
How to run these games on PC? Microsoft is also inventor of XBOX360.

The games are proprietary to the Consoles they run on in many cases, and user "porting" to another system is a violation of license agreements. Can it be done? yeah. Is it legal? New games, no. Old games, there's a large gray area involving "abandonware" (which sonic is not).

Good news is the 360 is coming down in price you might be able to catch one on sale on Craigslist for about $100 or less (depending on how broke the seller is).
