Original game designed by
Sega for the
Genesis /
MegaDrive /
Nomad platform. It is about a comic book designer named
Sketch who gets sucked into his own comic book, while the
villan has his reign over the real world.
It is a beautiful 2d-scrolling
platformer, with excellent
sound, graphics, and
style, and quite unique game play. This game takes heavy use of Sega's
Raster effects to do
animations such as the opening title
screen.
All in all, quite
difficult, and very
replayable. I have never gotten to the end, but it is still a great one to pick up now and
again. Much of the fun is beating on the difficult bad guys: performing the correct combination of moves and
counter moves allows you to move past enemies unscathed. There are numerous
puzzle elements to the game, many consisting of
common sense uses of items to get past certain obstacles. Incorrectly solving puzzles usually costs you life in one way or another. All in all, an
excellent game; one that everyone has played would
reccomend. There is a port of it to the PC
platform, that is not as rich in grpahics or sound as the
original.
