One of the best games available for the SEGA Genesis
The story is about a possum named Sparkster who must defeat some pig army, rescue a princess, and save the world.
The gameplay features your basic classic 8bit/16bit game, walk from one side of the level to the other in a total of 7 stages. You have a sword which can shoot enemies when swung. You can hold that button down and charge your rocket pack. This helps you launch either forward or even in the air. The levels are well designed and fun and the bosses are too.
Graphics are quite good for the Genesis. Everything is detailed and it has a good variety of color.
This is one of Konami's greatest classics ever and everyone should try it. This was definitely one good reason to own a Genesis instead of a SNES back then.
