Vectorman (Sega Genesis, 1996)

Vectorman, like Comix Zone, is a great example of what the Sega Genesis was capable of in terms of graphics and sound. You never really saw games like this before, especially on a home console. The controls are spot on making it all the more fun to play and not just look at. Be warned though, this is a hard game. Even on the easiest setting it can frustratingly difficult. But that makes it all the more satisfying when you beat it. If, however, you can't beat it use the code "c, a, left, left, a, c, a, b" and warp to the last level. Get it? Call a cab?

This is a great shooter/side scrolling/Platforming game. For the Genesis the graphics are quite good and was able to pull off early 3D backgrounds. The controls are great and the game play is even more addicting. It's music is pretty good to for the Genesis also. There are several different kinds of games plays in it. So the game has a good variety to it. Also different weapons to it also.
The story of the game is nothing too interesting but the game makes up for it. It takes place in the way future and the humans leave Earth as the robots clean up the trashed earth. That's about all they tell you.
I highly recommend this game cause I grew up with it and I still love it to this day.

Hands-down favorite game for the Sega Genesis system(s). With seemingly endless and intricate (but not boring) levels, countless amounts of strange enemies and bosses, phenominal gameplay, great music and graphics, it's almost as if the creators of Megaman and Earthworm Jim all got together and decided to make something new (honestly....how else would you be able to come up with a self propelled fire-exstinguisher with a beartrap for jaws?).

Although it lacks a savegame function, it's "short" enough (16 levels - I think... - including the final boss) to be played through and beaten in about 45 to 90 minutes. All in all an excellent game, and an absolute must-have if you're a Genesis fan.

Game is in great condition, and it shipped fast! It is one of my favorite games from back in the day! thanks again.

i just love this.so much action.not complicated to play.just overall great fun.
i bouight thjs to replace one i have bought orig.

Top-notch shooter starring a green, robotic character. The stages are large and full of extra secrets, and yet they're never overwhelming or tedious. The action is very satisfying, thanks to perfect controls and many different forms that Vectorman can morph into. There are some neat bonus stages and bosses are a treat. The acm graphics really push the Genesis, and the techno soundtrack is impressive. Blue Sky made a great all-around game.

We bought Vectorman again after having played it over ten years ago. That's how much we liked it and remembered playing it....so we looked for it and bought it again. It's so much fun for all ages!
