Quote:All things considered this is a classic worth remembering. Okay, so maybe the graphics could be better, but is that really important? No, it isn’t, because the gameplay is so good and has so much variety that nothing else really matter.
Oh, I forgot to reply to this... the graphics could have been better? Really? Rocket Knight Adventures looks absolutely amazing for a Genesis game... aside from maybe Sonic or Vectorman or something, not many platformers look as good. It's got bright, beautiful graphics, pushing what the system can do and with a lot of variety too. Genesis games do not often look or sound this good. It's a really good game...
I mean, yes, of course it suffers from the limited palette. There I agree -- the limited palette is the Genesis' greatest drawback, no question. All Genesis and Sega CD games suffer from it. But some games do a better job of working with it than others, and I'd say that RKA is among the better ones.
