currently playing this. very challenging, excellent sprites and interesting sound design. this game is a treasure and the inventive use of "polygons"is cute. it is a good response to Nintendo performers.@pupetmaster983 Treasure did create the McDonald game.
The freakin' clown miniboss somewhere in the first act scared the hell outta me when i was like 4 i havent played it till like last week and i beat it but god damn its hard.
Best game on Genesis. Pretty hard too. Cool bosses, interesting story, a bunch of powerups...this game is awesome. Dynamite Headdy makes Sonic look like shit.
oh my god, i cant believe how great youtube is for finding all these cool old school games, just been watching vectorman, cool spot and now this, loved this game!! and i loved the fact that all the level titles were spoofs of films, like finale analysis and toys in the hood! those days were great for platformers, like earthworm jim, james pond 2 robocod, the animaniacs for the snes, great memories!!
omg I thought this game had dropped off the face of the planet or something! I never thought of looking for it on youtube! Watching this was like looking back in time. My brother and I use to rent this at the video store like every week 10 years ago(wow) back when genesis games were still available for rent.xD
It's so great to see it again! Thanks for uploading!^__^
You are SO right. This game is amazing!! Games are far more style over substance these days. This was such an innovative title. I'm just glad that Treasure are still around making quality games. It's just a shame that really good games always lose out in terms of sales to dross like FIFA.
I think my fave old-school style game in recent years has to be Viewtiful Joe. It brings back great memories of 16-bit games. It's just a shame that Capcom dissolved Clover studios :(
I agree with everythin` you said there dude, Viewtiful Joe is another classic title that was absolutely similar 2the 2-D titles that we were raised up on back in the gaming age.

Very tough little game, music is fantastic as are the SFX. Brilliant sprites, colours, level design etc. A very "polished" game indeed! Shame its absolutely insane to beat later on! lol
same people who made gunstar hero made this

My gosh, one of my most favourite and treasured Megadrive games that i own!
Those were my childhood days, i still play it 2this day, aswell as my other Megadrive classics!
Everything about this game is perfect, the Characters, the Storyline and the Music!
Man i loved the 90's!
They dont make games this original these days, they really do need2 bring games this unique back 2the gaming world!
Im glad i still have my copy!

A more accurate statment would be that Rayman looks like Dynamite Headdy, who came a full year before Rayman
