  • this game was amazing. but it was too hard for me. i never beat it

  • sonic with jetpack

  • soinc much?

    

  • I never played this as a kid. Never even heard of it. I got a Genesis for Christmas last year with this game.

    Game of the year, all year every year.

  • finally found it! i remember playing this game all the time. could never complete it though.

  • omg so great its the real music where can i get it? i had searched through the internet :0

  • @KawaiiJasminTea Gamethemesongs(dot)com has a bunch of songs from this game

  • How can 7 people dislike this game?, like streets of rage there's nothing to not like about rka1.

  • I used to play this game non-stop when I was in the 3rd grade.

    I also blame this game for giving me an anxiety disorder.

    Such wonderful memories...

  • Tip of my hat. Well played, indeed.

  • Isn't the music on lvl one great especially at the end of the stage.

  • I keep confusing this game with Sparkster lol

  • @SuperGenesisDude

    How? this one was the original anad best one in the series, sparkster (rka2 esp genesis one) was terrible and they changed his image not too mention the whole game, sparskter on the snes was a bit better from what I heard but this was the best one and I badly wish konami would reboot this series by remaking rka1 in hd sprites and making a true worthy successor to rka1 from there.

  • aww.. brings back a lot of memories

  • I think the music at 6:11 to 6:18 sounds a lot like the opening riff from Black Night by Deep Purple

  • @BlackToothMetal

    Funny story about that, someone got up a comparison video and put that song with lvl 2 of rka1 (that bit) and it's definetly a dead ringer, guess konami were big fans of Deep purple, a few games companies used to add commercial music to their games back then.

  • @Mooseenstein

    Are you truely stupid?

  • @hungoversundays You are a pompous ass. Do you feel big and bad talking that way to a 16 year old? I would smash your face in if I got the chance.

  • @hungoversundays How is he stupid for asking if it is for PC? You are stupid for taking exception to an innocent question.

  • @samuelrosenbalm

    You are stupid for assuming that I was taking expection to his stupid question.

  • @hungoversundays I wasn't assuming anything, actually.

    It is plain as day.

    *clears throat*

    "Are you truely stupid?"

    Yup, plain as day.

    BTW, in your effort to insult another poster by calling him "stupid", you actually mispelled "truly".

    Yup, truly.

  • @samuelrosenbalm

    You are without a doubt the most TRUELY stupid person I've came across.

  • Comment removed

  • @hungoversundays *snickers*

    I've "came" across?

    Uh...no.

    The verb "came" is past tense, while the verb "come" is present tense.

    Example:

    If you were talking to a friend tomorrow, you would say, "He was the stupidest person I ever CAME across."

    But speaking to me, about me, you say, "You are the stupidest person I've come across."

    You see, simple grammar.

  • @samuelrosenbalm *laughs and pee's a little*

    wut?

    Grammar Nazi = Wants to gain the respect of people by coming across as a self righteous keyboard warrior with suposed higher intelligence. I could care not for my grammar seeing as we're on youtube arguing about the most pointless things known to man,

    PS- the cunts question was stupid.

  • @hungoversundays I almost never point out mistakes is one's grammar. I too, don't care for those arrogant bastards that do.

    However...

    Your posts were riddled with mistakes all the while you were calling others stupid!

    C'mon!

  • @hungoversundays somebody's a little special

  • For those who have an Xbox 360 go take a look in the game marketplace under arcade. ROCKET KNIGHT IS AN OFFICIAL XBOX 360 GAME! But beware it's the HD and remake version of Rocket Knight you can buy the game with Microsoft Points. Just to let you all know im only 16 years old and this game has also been part of my youth :) and I just had to share this with you all!

    Guys thumbs up this comment so other people will know either!

  • @dvd709

    I hope you die a painful and bloody death.

    PS- the new Rocket Knight HD remake is shite.

    PPS- Its not an offical xbox 360 game, its multiplatform you cunt.

  • @dvd709

    ..Why are people still insistent on calling rocket knight a remake?, it makes no sense context wise at all, sparksters retired, now has a kid and settled down, there's no pigstar, princess sherry or the king, sparkster doesn't go to space to fight devilgus, have an epic rock em sock em battle with axle and it's even stated it's 16 years after rka2s events, sorry but I really hate the media for being that thick, guess they never played the first rka.

  • I spent years trying to remember the title of this game until someone showed me a video of it after I asked them about the game with the "kangaroo detective fighting pigs", lol. Great memories

  • When that dragon hit at 2:51, all my memories of this game HIT me. I remember playing this on a UHF/VHF tv as a kid.

  • Damn this was an awesome game, the Sega Megadrive owned so hard!

  • I never seen that intro!

  • IVE finished it!! on the mega drive... it was intense, specially big robot fight

  • if anyone here would like to take the chance to animate sparkster, we're doing an rocket knight adventures contest on rkapetition on deviantart, deadline end of june, and if you're interested go to that vid on my page or deviantart and if you're also want a remake of rka1 then please sign My petition as well and pass it on, we also have a remake rocket knight adventures petition page up on facebook so if anyone wants to like that feel free and help our cause.

    Thanks sparkster fans.

  • Konami blows, this should've been included in their e3 lineup, tons of people would pay through the nose for a remake like of this game in hd sprites, enough with snake already, give this guy a chance konami and get treasure back (the original team who did rka1 and sparkster on snes), rocket knight could've been like hardcorps uprising had treasure made that as well, climax just aren't right for the job.

  • Comment removed

  • I was never able to finish this as a kid. Glad I get to see how it all ends

  • this game was fucking pro..

  • What the..... the version of the game I have doesn't have that intro. Nor does it have the band playing.

    What is this wizardry???

  • @MrDavidCollins Nope, the Japanese version.

  • the music is insanely familiar, i havent played this since i was 6, and im 21 now! holy shit

  • This is how the first level in a game is supposed to be. Figh shit, fight shit in a waterfall, fly over an ocean fighting more shit, crash through a castle to fight shit somemore and finaly a boss!

  • The nostalgia..... it's too much

  • wait a minute now, what version is this? I played the megadrive/genesis version as a kid and that intro was totally different

  • @caliburxcm i think its sega.

  • this, and castlevania were my very first games, when I bought genesis. I was about 4yrs old, and still, I remember everything, This is so epic

  • jesus crist almighty

  • This was a game. They just don't make them like they used to.

  • Woah, PAL intro, right?  First time I've actually seen it.

    I'D ONLY HEARD OF IT IN LEGEND

  • iv played on it got stuck on stage 3 the crab

  • Just Downloaded the emulator to play the game. Gonna Re-live childhood memories. =)

  • Some of the most unnerving boss music recorded in history.

  • wow... im speechless... i loved this game.. aww man thanks!!! i freaking loved this game!!! hahaha damn im old... :D

  • 2:21 nice music

  • just watched this and im shocked about how much i remember from when i was about 5 lol

  • it says you got it in hard mode but you hardly take any damage o.o in my hard mode its 1 hit kill :x i guess versions are very different plus bosses should take longer to kill to

  • Konami make the best games th megadrive had...no other company seems abe to beat the amount of detail in a konami game. even sega was poor in comparison.

  • I loved this game...takes me back..lol

  • Right if anyone's interested please sign My petition for a remake of rka1, we need 20000 signatures and can't do it without your support, so if you're interested please sign and pass it on to m8s.

    Cheers :).

    The videos on My page, couldn't put it on here.

  • 4:26 OMG NINJA TURTLE :D

  • old good times, it brings back memories....I love this game

    It was a part of my childhood !!!

  • Intro and such on this version is different than mine. why?

  • would someone please re issue megadrive games.

  • This brings back memories, the game seemed so much harder when I was young

  • I'm love this Game!!! Best music, graphics and gameplay (Sega Mega Drive version)

  • got save or passwords?

  • I only just played this game for the first time a couple of weeks ago, on an actual Genesis, too! Duuuuude, this game is awesome even without the nostalgia filter! I love it! I MUST PLAY IT AGAIN. O_O

  • Who do all these pigs work for acme military supplies? Next thing you know they will show up in a a giant robot crab. lol

  • @robotpanda77 ...you have no idea how ironic the statement you just made is lol.

  • @KisukeFreak lol! I know! I always died on that attacking the city stage, so I never got far enough to see what lies ahead.

  • Hardest bosses ever

  • Playing the Japanese version, I see.... (different intro and level bumpers)

  • god this reminds me of the kick ass days in 95/96

  • this is one of the very few games i can actually play some parts by sound alone.

  • flaming pigs? 0_o LOL. I loved this game as a kid! Great to see it again!

  • How do you get that opening?

  • @Kohakukun19 Japanese / European version ;)

  • The nostalgia

  • My rocket knight adventures tribute's up if anyone wants to see it look on my youtube page, can't link it to this page

  • Is this the euro version? it's so different from mine in terms of loading screens... plus, the intro isn't in my US version.

  • Comment removed

  • I'll probably get laughed at for this but i'm gonna try my hand at animating sparkster in a few sketches and putting it on youtube in a few weeks if anyone wants to see it , i think the guy deserves as much love as sonic and mario.

  • Holy crap, this game's freaking AWESOME! =D

    I gotta try this game!

  • After seeing this, I immediately went through my closet, hoping, and I DO still have this.

    The Nostalgia..

  • the memories

  • Oh how the new game sucks so bad.

  • @SonictheBedHog

    Yeah, instead amazing 2-d graphic, they went with crappy 3-d one.

  • @shadowghostra

    Yeah and sparkster doesn't look right period in 3d now the games look like a bad wb cartoon, the original was his best design and they should've kept it along with updating the style like it was in the first one and making it tough and unpredictable and not spamming your rocket pack, i'm probably alone but i miss charging up the rocket pack and flying with caution instead of everywhere and speed running through stages, that's sonic not sparkster.

  • @SonictheBedHog

    How so?

  • killing all these pigs reminds me of Tomba. that game was awesome.

  • Took me forever to find this game, I remember playing this when I was so young!! amazing!!

  • Good ass run man. This game was one of the best on sega. I had the game and never fking beat it....god to i regret that now

  • I loved Rocket Knight. One of the games that got me into gaming at a young age.

    I love watching this video, as i can longer play that game, and it just brings back so many memories.

    Hope the ps3 one is just as good.

  • @HatchetGirl1990

    I actually have the new one on file and its not bad, however it lacks the Konami brutality instead opting for todays "gamers"

  • this game is the shit man lol... im playing it right now...but thats weird...my intro doesnt look like this one... are the snes and genesis versions different?

  • @MrGameAndWatch there is no snes version of the original, but the Japanese version has a different opener and stage start screens.

  • I also miss the epic boss music from the first game and charging the rocket pack, probably sounds stupid but it meant it was risky to use the rocket pack and it made you use it more sparingly.,

  • cntd

    Dont get me wrong new rocket knight's great and it's good to see him back, but it doesn't hold a candle to the original and the series has just come back after a long haitus so any luck they might consider this in the future and re-release first rka and sparkster (snes one ) on psn, 360 and wii in the future, it all depends on how much support they get.

  • it's depressing how crap the new game is.

  • @TypeSH

    if new rocket knight gets enough positive feedback and good sales then the developer said he's keen to make one with sprites, but due to budget for the new game it wasn't possible, hence why new rocket knight wasn't as long or tough.

  • @TypeSH u lame

  • 1:43

    That's some Ninja Bullshit right there!

  • Is this a different version than the North American one? A lot of stuff looks different

  • @thevade Yeah. weird, I've never played this version. Sounds like Genesis. SNES sounds so much better.

  • I don't remember that intro scene before the first level starts

  • @papermario47

    Woah that intro wasn't in the pal version, the intro in pal version is sparkster tries to rescue princess, gets knocked off tower, stands on a hill and a giant pig in the background looks at him from the distance.

  • @wesker100000000 That wasn't in the NTSC version neither, at least not mine, maybe this is a Japanese version or something....

  • @papermario47

    True or..i think i might've seen it after you complete rka on easy (dont get to play final level) and you get a new introduction, it's been a longtime since i've seen that and it looks familiar but i'm not 100%, just realised now.

  • lol I remember this game. The song at 2:20 I remember playing over and over again just to hear it lol.

  • man id forgotten how awesome the music was in this game

  • they are giving this game the new super mario bros treatment and is coming to xbla and psn.....not sure if its a remake or a whole new game though

  • Rocket Knight, I F'ing love this dude. I use to draw him all the time back in Middle School.

  • Konami at their best.

  • one of my fav games from that era i'm going to be 21 soon,,,fucken A man were did all these great games GO????

  • This game is intense just to even watch. I feel like I should've known about it already but damn this is my first time realizing it exists. Time for some emulation!

  • So much nostalgia

  • Whoa whoa whoa, what the hell was that completely different opening?

  • That's the intro for the European PAL version I believe.

  • this game complet in 3D = best game ever. a good idea i think

  • This is like a mix of everything that was populr at the time, Sonic+Link+Megaman

  • they're still popular

  • @shadowhog777 and Mickey Mouse xD

  • @shadowhog777

    It may have been a cheap ploy to make money, but damn did it make a good game! And this game was SO hard, too! I almost always died at the giant robot fight.

  • @shadowhog777  xDDD rght, nice coment...

  • Oh my god.

    I was literally floored by the amount of nostalgia this game just hit me with.

    Christ. I was so young when I played this game. I remember everything.

    Epic.

  • @Malikaye90

    You too, huh?

  • U are the man, damn....I never beat this game....

  • I'm so drunken stoned, I can't decide I remember this game or not. d(:

  • There were tons of sonic rips in the 90s and most of them pretty much sucked. The first rocket knight from 1993 to segas console on the other hand didn't. It's a great game. Easy controllers, smart gameplay really great bossbattles and pretty sweet music. If you haven't played this game yet I strongly recommend that you do.

  • I have this game but the film in the beginning are not the same

  • The music brings back so many memories! Thanks for this!

  • What's the armadillo's name?

  • sparkster.

  • classic and hard... nice upload

  • classic game

  • great game hard to know when to jump over high walls

  • megadrive classic! the music is some of the best ive ever heard! the game is beautiful!

  • This is by far one of my favorite games.

  • i was trying hard to find this title's game cos' i forgot whats it called. all i remembered was knight and rocket lol. i miss playing it aw :[ nice game play.

  • Why haven't I ever played this game?

  • I love this game.

  • i never finished this game it was awesome

  • We need this on Virtual Console

  • Konami did they thing with game on the Genesis. The colors,animations, Music stage design whateva you wanna call it was push to the max. Konami when out with a bang on Genesis with hit after hit.

  • Why this game has not made it onto more Genesis Mega-Collections I do not know.

  • This was such an awesome game.

  • I like the bit when Axel's plane thrusts away at full speed with the princess on board and Sparkster pays no attention to the rocket boaster's and get's blown away afterwards.

  • esta buenaso el juego yo lo tengo!

  • I'm surprised i've never heard of this awesome game! Games like this and Ristar should be recognized more because these games are amazing! The genesis really had some true hidden treasures. Long live Genesis.

  • you rocks :D

  • Holy shit this video just brought back so many memories... I owned this game and completely forgot I did. Emulator time.

  • I still love this game and its sequals even the new one coming to PC steam, PSN and XBLA.

  • whens the xbox live arcade one coming out?

  • Early 2010 on feburary its coming out on all systems at the same time, there is already a trailer, just type in "Rocket Knight" or check my channel if you want

  • this game is EPIC

  • what version of the game is this? mine has cooler level intros...

  • This one's the Japanese version of the game... Yeah I like the mugshots of Sparkster better than that little opossum band, too lol!!

  • Damn! I Miss this game. The Music score is just wonderful. I remember beating this game like crazy, its just awesome. The impossible difficultly is just insane. One freaking hit and you're dead and its game over.

  • i have this game and only beat it once in my life. it was so awesome though.

  • holy shit this game was class :O

  • I'm nostalgia'ing all over the damn place. Thanks so much for posting this video. Great memories. I think I might mention this in my next video which will feature my favorite unspoken titles.

  • I remember playing this when i was like 5 years old

  • haha same here!!

    I never even passed this level XD

    ah the good old days when playing video games was all you had to worry about and life was fun ]:

  • I have a really cool idea for a flash game/ sprite comic sparkster shion from wonderboy in monsterworld, and blade from kirby would team up.

  • omg i just remebered the name of this game after 5 years of not playing it, i miss it <3333

  • awesome game, awesome soundtrack. love this game. I'm glad I still own it.

  • one of my most favorite game ever
