  • The hidden gem of the Genesis

    I first played this game on a genesis compilation and knew I had to get the original. The graphics and music are some of the best the Genesis has to offer next to Sonic. The grabbing mechanic is unique and makes for fun gameplay. I only wish the character could move faster and jump higher, but this also forces you into using your arms to get around. Since this is a rare game, it can be hard to find and is a collectors item. I’m not a collector and only wanted the cartridge. I got mine around 35 US dollars which is a really good price for the game. Bottomline, this is a must for all Genesis fans.
