If you live in the UK, sign up on THQ's website for a chance to win a Sonic Advance 3 Print signed by Yuji Naka.

For any hardcore Sonic fan it's the gaming equivalent of having Van Gogh's Sunflowers hanging on your study wall with "Cheers! - Vince" scrawled across the bottom right corner...

It's an extremely rare, numbered and framed Sonic Advance 3 Print signed by the noble 'hog's revered creator himself - Yuji Naka - and it's there for the taking on www.thq.co.uk .

Sonic the Hedgehog blazed across our screens for the first time back in 1991, and the spiky hero’s debut was recently voted the greatest game of all time. Naka-san has since lent his hand to some of Sega’s greatest titles, including NiGHTS into Dreams and Phantasy Star Online. Sonic Advance 3, the latest and greatest 2D adventure from Sonic Team is set to blister thumbs all over again when it hits Game Boy Advance on June 18th .

This truly is a money-can’t-buy prize for any self-respecting Sonic fan! There are only 25 of these prints in existence and all you have to do in order to stand a chance of winning a priceless piece of gaming memorabilia is answer one simple question at www.thq.co.uk . The closing date for the competition is the 17th July – good luck!

Sonic Facts

Sonic the Hedgehog was designed and developed by Yuji Naka, director of Sonic Team, in 1990 and launched on the Megadrive in Europe during 1991, selling over 4 million copies.

Later that year its sequel, Sonic 2, hit shelves and quickly became a hit, selling 400,000 units in its first five days of availability, earning the status of the top-selling 16-bit video game of all time.

Sonic has sold in excess of 33 million copies worldwide.

Scientists in Europe and the US found a gene and named it ‘Sonic’ from its resemblance to his spikes.

Elspa recently launched a research programme to determine the best ever game, won by the original Sonic the Hedgehog game. The results were announced in December 2003.
