Well, we've got a little more for ya,
including what Sonic the Hedgehog means
to a very special Charlottesville, VA, boy.
And the significance goes way beyond the high score and videos.
Finally, tonight, Sonic the Hedgehog is running
wildly in the Chandler household this weekend.
Twelver-year-old Christian Chandler of Charlottesville
was the winner in a video game shopping spree.
Christian is one of only about a hundred winners nationally
to receive $1,000 worth of Sega games and equipment.
For his parents, itís just another example
of how well he's doing.
Christian is a high-functioning autistic child. This past fall,
of his own initiative, he entered a contest based
on a favorite cartoon character.
It had to do was exactly...watch Sonic the Hedgehog...
uh, cartoon...anóand risten to what Sonic says
at the end of itÖand writed it down for
a whole week.
And then, I had to mail it in,
and I had to be drawn out of a hat,
and I just won!
And Christian's father says
it only takes a few hours for him to master
an electronic game and then...move onto another!
Unbelievable...
I can't master any of íem!
That's it for now, and itís just...cominí up
on the NBA basketball game at 5:30.
Itís not 6:30; itís 5:30. We'll see you
back here at 11:00. Thanks for watching.
Good night.
Buh-bye.
