Title: Another SMS/Genesis/CD Recomendation thread ! This time : platformers !
Post by: apachacha on May 24, 2011, 04:29:54 AM
So after you guys were able to help me with finding some realy good Genesis shooties, I was wondering if you could do the same, but with platformers ?

I usualy prefer the unusual ones. Last one I beat was Dynamite Headdy.

Rocket Knight Adventures is fantastic, and it's got it's own little mechanic involving a jetpack.
beyond that, i don't really know off the top of my head, other than Vectorman 1+2

Land of Illusion (best of the three Mickey games)
Sonic 1
Ghouls and Ghosts
and Alex Kidd in Miracle World, of course.

Penguin Land is a good puzzle/platformer

I also vote for Rocket Knight: a variety of neat play mechanics such as navigating using your reflection, and a lot of cool, unexpected details like a chicken that follows you for a bit for no reason.  Cute animation, too!

It's an action puzzle game, actually.  Similar to Cybernoid.

yeah.  its still a bit different.  because of the swimming aspect. 

Too bad they didnt make more Ecco like games .

Kind also reminds me of Solar Jetman for NES

The Haunting isn't really a platformer either.

It's an isometric viewpoint.

Great game though.

Swimming/Castleroids/Action/Adventure?

Would Ecco be in the same class as a E.V.O (SNES) or NiGHTS on Saturn?

Nights and Ecco actually have lots in common.
