Little fun fact about the title logo (form Sonic Retro https://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_(16-bit)#Emulation)
At present, Sonic the Hedgehog is emulated perfectly by all major Sega Mega Drive emulators. Older emulators such as Genecyst suffered a visual bug on the game's title screen. The Mega Drive could only display a limited number of sprites per scanline, and the game's programmers had placed dummy sprites on the title screen to exploit this weakness. The dummy sprites were intended to make Sonic appear to be behind the logo by rendering him partially invisible. Genecyst doesn't emulate this limitation, and so Sonic appears in front of the logo.

To the question of "HOW DO YOU RUN IT?????????????" you need a Sega Genisis/Mega Drive Emulator. I recommend Kega Fusion. If you want to run it on a real system you can buy a flash cart.
