Quote:They’re also fairly hard, even harder than the original. Although the SNES version has five continues, compared to two in the Genesis version, it’s still pretty tough. Particularly in the second stage where there are these giant wheels that will squash you flat if you so much as touch them. It’s really unforgiving. Bosses in both version are hard as well. Overall, they’re just hard games and difficult in a way that I never thought the original was, although the original wasn’t necessarily easy or anything. The SNES version does have a password save system however.
Genesis Sparkster also has passwords, not only the SNES game.
I agree, the SNES one is a bit better, and definitely much more faithful to the original game. Genesis RKA and SNES Sparkster are fantastic games, but Genesis Sparkster is a little less great thanks to the different, and not quite as good I think, design...
The first game might be the best of the series (really, play more of it, if you haven't gotten past level 2), but both of these are certainly fantastic as well. They're great platformers, it's awesome that Konami is bringing back the series. :)
