So what do we think of Ristar? One of the best 16-bit games ever made right?

The wrong kid died...

Played it recently, loved it. Great graphics, music and personality. Not as good as SMW or Sonic, but really fun.

Imagine if he had made it, we'd have spinoffs now with his darkstar brother riding a motorcycle and dating human chicks.

its a mid-tier genesis platformer.

high tier would be heady and rocket knight

This. Ristar is alright but incredibly overrated, judging by what people are paying for the game these days. If anything the game should've been given more time to ferment and also been a saturn release to get that console some games.

Great soundtrack and graphics and ahead of their time bonus modes pseudo unlockables like boss rush, super hard mode and bonus stage time attack. Lotsa replay value.

DID YOU KNOW they removed a level from the american release for no fucking reason.

>> No.5129108

didn't even know it existed back in the day. it's got good graphics, good music, and the gameplay is interesting but doesn't flow very well. better than average but not Sonic tier.

>> No.5129119

its a cute game but the gameplay couldve been something more.

I always forget how a bunch of genesis games got gamegear versions. For the longest time I had no idea there was a gamegear version of gunstar heroes, for example.

The level where you have to put the song back together with the mechanical singing birds is inexplicably emotional for me:

This. Never played D. Heady but RKA is outstanding. Ristar isn’t even within touching distance of that game.

Both are fantastic but if I had to pick:
Ristar > RKA > DH
