Rocket Knight Adventures (Gen)

[SuperSoundwave100]

Good review

[biggyboy901]

This game is very underrated and was more or less ignored when it came out. It was another game trying to use Sonic's successful formula on the Sega, so was labeled as a rip/spin-off. However, this does have its own unique spin an and is very original in most repsects. Besides, the main focus was the big battle between Sega (aka Sonic) fans against Nintendo (aka Mario) fans. These all contributed to why this unique and fun game faded into obscurity.

Good news! A new Rocket knight game is coming in 2010 on PS3 Xbox360 and PC!

[DukeNukem500]

another sega genesis game whit good in game music is batman

[The666Heretic]

I remember I use to play this game a lot. Now I have it for my PC for the Gens Emulator.

[RetroGarst]

yeah, awesome game!

[KieranD212]

reminds me of gunstar heroes a lot but not the combat that seems to be different

cool video thanks for showing it off now it made me want to purchase it

xfile is a cool guy i sub to him

[supersonictomlad]

nah man, i like the mortal kombat 3 sound on the MD. the snes is totally fuzzy! theres no treble to the snes sound chip at all, the MD can do bass and treble really good, but probably lacking in the mids. whereas the snes could do good mids and low ends, but lame high ends. (IMO)

[gutterguy720]

MK3 sucked because Williams took over the port. MK2 was AWESOME and probably the best in the series.

[MikeCatrone]

This game looks fantastic!

[Bleste011]

I just recently purchase this game about a week ago from the uk. The version i got is a mega drive PAL, it works on my mega drive but not on my genesis nomad. I think this is one of the early games that feature a regional lock out chip. On the back of the case the game was release in 1993.

[Adam060756]

I've finished this game many times and when you complete it, it tells you to try and finished it again on very hard mode where one hit kills Sparkster!

Attention to all! If you want to see the ending do not play this game on Practice mode otherwise you will just receive a message saying ''Congratulations now try again on normal or hard mode''.

[yoda2355]

looks like whoever made ratchet and clank, really liked rocket knight adventures

[bignukkaplaya]

doubt it. Insomniac games are nothing like most Konami games

[vintagevideogamegeek]

I love this game! I picked up a complete copy for $5 after seeing HVGN's review a couple years back. Sparkster is a little harder to come by.

[vipor29]

yea try sparkster for the snes..the music is wicked awesome in that

[vinnieblacklodge]

yes i agree it does look a lot like "arcade " game . i remember this being a pretty big advertised game in gamepro and other mags

[graftwins3]

great game indeed jake,when i picked up my genesis 3 this was one of the first games i got for it,really great game and great review man,5/5!

[TameFan]

Well yes you already knew about that game

[TameFan]

Check out Sparkster. Thats the second one : ). XFile2708 just made a gameplay vid of that one

[townsjim]

your right, the sound on some genesis/megadrive games really lets the console down. The snes is the all-round better console, but some of the exclusives for the genesis were awesome, like this game

[jugghead82]

WOW this game looks awesome loved the review

[SupermarketsRevil]

2nd level boss is taken from Probotector/Contra

[youtubasoarus]

This game looks amazing, graphically speaking.

[TyTazzyTiger64]

and gameplay wise and music wise and difficulty wise

[RA7ICU5]

how do u record your games? i wana try to do something like that cause i use a ps2 eyetoy for my vids lol

[ThisIs2009]

i think its an ATI TV tuner, he used to use a more basic one called a GameBridge which doesn't work on Windows 7 nor supports the Genesis.

[SplatterTrigger]

Such a classic tile.Being a Genesis only makes it a must have.Great review man.

[XFile2708]

Great video matey and thanks for the mention :)

[TravelJoe2010]

what video-editing software do you use?

[ABlackFalcon]

SNES Sparkster and Genesis Sparkster may have the same name, but they're actually completely different games... the SNES one plays a lot like Genesis Rocket Knight Adventures, but the Genesis one is ... different. You'd have to play it to see what you think with that one. Both do have password save and unlimited continues, though, so they're not quite as massive a challenge as the first one...

RKA is an awesome, awesome game though, despite the high difficulty!

[tnaman84]

If you havent played the PC version, you should try StarFlight on the Genesis and ShadowRun. I have both and they are awesome.

[KoopaTroopaCCC]

i never seen this game before looks fun nice vid.

[elcheapouno]

got this awhile back,

such an awesome game!!!

[therealhardrock]

Sparkster looks like Ratchet from Ratchet and Clank.

[Noyjeetut]

So awesome man.

[kreeboy411]

Need to find a copy of this....have heard that this game kicks ass over and over...

I agree...it has a very NeoGeo look to it...

Great vid.

[Titannel]

Koh-Nah-Mii. I'm fairly sure that's how it's pronounced.

Just sayin'. Great vid, though. You always make awesome videos.

[therealhardrock]

He's Canadian.  It's just like how Canadians say "Mary-oh" instead of "Mahri-oh."

[agwellin]

"Koh-nammy?"

[DCstar]

I never did beat this game. Great video, you made me wanna try it out again. BTW, love how you pronounce Konami.

[tvandlust]

Great video. I really want to pick this one up sometime soon!

[endlessgreg]

This is an amazing game... I used to play it all the time as a kid. Also, I can now beat the game pretty easily having played it a lot... It's definitely worth it because the final levels are great.

[Maxxarcade]

I remember this game! If I recall, it had a relatively small cart size, maybe 4 meg?

[shaurz]

Picked this up a few days ago. This is weird, but the music reminds of the music from the Pokemon games...?

[dix323232]

man that game looks like a heap of fun i have never played it either and i owned a megadrive/genesis when i was younger a gem i must check out.

[renegado105]

The only reason I sill have a genesis...great vid dude

[Segadude3000]

this game kicked ass!

[JerryTerrifying]

The way you say Konami cracks me up.

[diablo313]

MN12BIRD, do you use a emulator or tv tuner?

[MN12BIRD]

TV Tuner AKA The Real Deal!

[diablo313]

Which one? Anything you would recommend for a Genesis?

[MN12BIRD]

I use an ATi 650 and it works great. I used to use an Adaptec USB Gamebridge but it didn't work with Genesis (or Sega Master System) but worked with anything else with AV. I couldn't get it to work with 64-bit Windows 7 either. Make sure the one you get works with your OS as some don't work in Vista and or 64-bit drivers might not be out there. Also its true many do not like to work with the Genesis for whatever reason. This one does but there is a little jiggle in the bottom of the screen.

[diablo313]

Hey, thanks man. I appreciate the quick response and info.

[Bluewo1f]

Reminds me of the infamous " GUNSTAR HEREOS " , Another Fantastic Genesis game

[mevans1182]

great game. wouldve made a cool saturday morning cartoon

[JamesRoyea]

this game looks awesome, awesome video, keep up the great work!

[VideoGamer945]

happy dance

[jacobartaylor]

looks like an awesome game, i must check this one out!

[GraffitiOverlord]

Mine has a ripped label, but I got it for 50 cents :D

[spierfan100]

[MaximumRD]

Oh yeah this was a great game!

[Chatetris]

One of my favorite genesis games ever!!
