CE Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Dear god... But yes, I've heard of it, it's one of my favorite Mega Drive games. The bosses were awesome, the gameplay was varied and the music was good. Tough too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi3gg Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 God, I love Rocket Knight Adventures. Nice graphics, great music, fun, challenging... It's one of those games that I don't see many people mention much, but was probably one of my favorite games when I was younger. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't some members of the team that developed RKA eventually split off from Konami to form Treasure?

They probably did to create Gunstar Heroes...and if I'm not mistaking, I'm thinking some of them probably was already at Treasure for the development of this SNES shooter Axelay!! Other than that, I don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were going for different demographics with the two versions. The SNES game was more like a traditional platformer while the other had more focus on speed and action, what with the frequent rocket usage and all.

Maco70 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I bought and actually beat Rocket Knight Adventures. Kickass game. Never played Sparkster though. I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJG Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I've got RKA on my Mega Drive, stored safely in my closet. I might get it out later. That game was awesome fun, especially on hard mode when it starts putting up a challenge. I didn't really like Sparkster for SNES as much though.

Paladin-01 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Ah, the game that showed us what a giant possum in a suit of armor with a sword and a massive rocket on his back could REALLY do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monday Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I enjoyed this game immensely last year. Tough tough tough though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murmeli Walan Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I bought the game about six months ago at a pawn shop for a dollar, but I haven't played it yet. I'll hook the Genesis back up next week after the holidays and try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJazzist Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 That is one of the best games. That game made my childhood. Ya know, wouldn't it be great if someone would remix the soundtrack to that game? No one is likely to do it but hey, its all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I recall playing that game once (rented from Blockbuster) when I was a wee one. It was great fun, and I though the graphics were amazing, but unfortunately my skills at video games were not up to par at that time, so the game utterly owned my soul.

OptimusShr Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 RKA is one of my favorite games. I have to beat it one of these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathtank Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 My favorite game for the Genesis was James Pond 3. Great gameplay, good music. And a good mixture of Sonic and Mario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Never played RKA or sparkster, but i managed to nab the Sparkster sprite sheet once way back. Just ran across it recently. If i remember correctly, it's pretty complete, but i'm not sure what system it was for. Looks genesis, as it's not as smooth as an SNES game, but the SNES was capable of the same pallates.

Devyn Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yes, I have both of those games, and I must agree that they both kick large amounts of ass. Sparkster on SNES is my favorite of the two, but they were both great games (I think the Genesis version of sparkster is a little differrent, but I don't know). The music is really good, and the gameplay is cool and the possum has a lot of different ways attacks and ways to travel - walking, jet pack, climbing on rails with his tail, robots, etc. The games just have so much variety, even more so with Sparkster. Yeah, Konami can really dish out good games when they get creative. The only thing I don't like about those games is how he can't be controlled when falling after a jetpack boost. But didn't they fix that on the Genesis version of Sparkster? I don't know because I don't have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
