Rocket Knight isn't a very long game, but it's not a terribly easy one either. Once you've finished the game you can access each of the levels you've completed through the Free Play option, or if you're a glutton for punishment you can run through the story mode over and over again to obtain all of the trophies. Speaking of trophies, there aren't a lot of them in this game, the best you can look forward to is a gold trophy. If you're determined enough you may even make it through Gold Sparkster mode.
Once again it comes down to this... "Is the game worth buying?". If you're looking for a throwback to the 16 bit days and like side scrolling games with an arcade feel to them I'd say look no further. If you're a fan of all of the previous Rocket Knight games this is a must buy. With a $14.99 price tag it's in a decent price range, it's entertaining and appropriate for players of all ages
The Sega Genesis is a tad underappreciated. This site has already posted about how this console was great for the RPG genre despite the SNES getting more glory. However, that was not the only genre that flourished on the Genesis/Mega Drive.
Shining Force is on my long list of game series should be revived. Same with console Phantasy Star
I'm sorry but I feel the list has been made by a person checking his own backlog catalog.
Mortal Kombat 2? missing half of the sounds and animation from the arcade.
And can we say Super dark soul difficulty when we say Earthworm Jim 2
Here's my pick for still holding up and fun
- Shinobi Shadow Dancer, not too tough nor too easy with a good arcade challenge 1 hour long to complete.
- Gunstar Heroes
- Nhl 94
- Thunder Force 3
Great lost with lots of memories. A reboot of the Shadowrun game and Shining Force would keep me entertained and busy for a long time.
-Soleil
-Sonic 2, 3 and knuckles, pinball
-that one x-men game i always forget its name
-that one fighting game that has different characters (a fishmen, an assassin lady, a private detective from the 70s etc)
-shining force 2
-dynamite heady (probably the best looking genesis game, imo)
-wonderboy in monster world
those are the ones that come to mind ha.
The November Games with Gold lineup is here.
There are many knights that make up lore in video games. Some jump on platforms. Did your favorite platforming knight make the list?
