    This and Dynamite Headdy have always been my favorite Genesis games since I played them when they first came out. I even have the Japanese Mega Drive version of this! Thank you Easy Allies for giving me this nostalgia filled trip to the past.

    @Feelin_DanDy 6 лет назад +3

    I never forgot it, it's my favorite Genesis game of all time! Over the course of my life, I must've beaten this game like 100+ times.

    This is one of the greatest most overlooked games from the Genesis/Snes era and still holds up today. Definitely don’t skip. Also thanks for finally doing the don’t skip that was teased when the show was announced!

    Glad to see another Don't Skip! This is a great series for games that deserve attention but aren't big enough to justify a whole review or podcast segment for.

    Don't Skip - Rocket: Robot on Wheels. Not many people seem to know it exists, and it hasn't been re-released digitally, remade, ported, or anything of the sort.

  • @stncldrwg

    The most underrated Genesis game of all time IMO. It is high on my all time list.
    The sequel is great too!

    • @FakYuhGoogel
      @FakYuhGoogel 6 лет назад

      There's much sadder examples of underrated Genesis games though. Rocket Knight Adventures got great reviews and sold decently.

  • @EastyyBlogspot

    I still feel that quality pixel art just does not age, early 3d games however.......

    • @KevinJennissen
      @KevinJennissen 6 лет назад +2

      Early pixel art games look just as ugly now as early 3d games, so I don't think this is a fair comparison (I'm talking like Atari 2600).

    • @RetroGameNova
      @RetroGameNova 6 лет назад

      Couldn't agree more, some ps1 games look pretty bad. Sprites will always rule!

  • @SuperPowerPainter
    @SuperPowerPainter 6 лет назад

    This is a brilliant idea for DontSkip!!! I always wondered when and where would be best to use this show's format, but it works perfectly for retro games. Also, can't help it that Rocket Knight is easily one of my favorite games of all time! Love that game.

  • @mishikomishiko9088
    @mishikomishiko9088 6 лет назад

    One of the most favourite games of my childhood. Rocket Knight Adventures 2 on Genesis was at the same level of quality.

  • @charoleawood

    Thank you so SO much for featuring a classic game without needing the excuse of a re-release!! Top stuff.

  • @mskiara18
    @mskiara18 4 года назад

    I express gratitude for creating a video on this entertaining game, I feel Rocket Knight is unappreciated like Alien Soldier, Gunstar Heroes, Dashin Desperadoes and Golden Axe.

    I loved this game as a kid!! Those mech vs mech boss battles were sooo goooood

  • @SpartanBobo
    @SpartanBobo 6 лет назад

    LOVED this game as a kid one of the first video games I ever owned. Actually had it til a couple years back and had to sell it due to being hard for cash. I'll never forget it though. Hopefully sega eventually comes out with even a virtual console version of this, but can you imagine if they made another or remade this one.

  • @TheGn0x

    First Genesis game I bought with my own money as a kid. Still have it almost 30 years later.

  • @VermillionR3D

    Some of the best graphics, music and gameplay on the Genesis. Worth playing even today.

  • @ZeroDrawn

  • @Ben-do1bf
    @Ben-do1bf 6 лет назад

    I'd love if more retro games got the Don't Skip treatment in the future. Seems like a great way to spread the word on more obscure games, or games that don't have the love they deserve.

  • @wiidiwii
    @wiidiwii 6 лет назад

    I remember playing this when i was like 4 or 5. I loved this game so much that a few years ago when I got into retro gaming I went to my local mom and pop video game store and got this game near mint. The box had a konani questionnaire and a poster that had TMNT with other characters from gaming on it . it was only 25 bucks... Weirdly the game seemed harder then when I was a little kid .

    @BorgRaptor8u 6 лет назад

    I really cut my teeth on this game. I got it at a Costco type store because I was young and liked the opossum on the front. Lots of late night sleepover memories trying to get to the end and making bad fan art. Thanks for bringing me back, Ben!

    Heck yeah Rocket Knight Adventures is a definite "Don't Skip". A must have for any Genesis collection, and glad I have a copy though loose. I just played through it again last year!

    @n8tivet3ch96 6 лет назад

    A really good game. I go back to it from time to time. That sprite work is amazing considering the time. It's and by Konami and we know what they do.... nothing. Because if they did we would have another game.

  • @FakYuhGoogel
    @FakYuhGoogel 6 лет назад

    Great game, one of my favorite Megadrive titles and worth its current price.

  • @AfroRyan
    @AfroRyan 6 лет назад +1

    The sequels were all pretty solid too, even the 360/PS3 one (though not amazing or anything). I don't know why they didn't just focus on doing a hand drawn HD remake instead, but at least we got a little more lore.

  • @lloydellison1231

    The soundtrack is also my favourit of the whole roster of games that the genesis has to offer.

  • @cyco7229
    @cyco7229 6 лет назад

    one of my favorite games from the 16 bit era, the sequel (not the painfully mediocre 2010 one, the one still for Genesis/SNES) was nowhere near as good though, I would love to read a post mortem on why it failed, it was probably handled by a completely different team

  • @SianaGearz
    @SianaGearz 6 лет назад

    It never felt like a Konami game, rathermore like a Treasure game. There has to be a reason for this. Could it be that this game was started by key Treasure people before they formed their own company?

    Kinda feels like this video is 25 years too late. I already skipped it. ^^ But to be honest, I was a Nintendo kid, so I never even knew this existed. Looks pretty good though.
