The title says it all really... List obscure, overlooked or forgotten platform games for Megadrive (or SMS, for that matter) that deserve a playthrough. The coveted username +1 goes to Misadventures Of Flink; a great-looking platformer with a ton of levels and secrets that really should have had battery backup or even a password system. It was released on Mega-CD only in the US, with a cart release in EU territories. Anyway, list away!
Socket: Time Dominator. I only played it briefly, but it seemed nice.
I love Bubsy, yes the deaths are VERY cheap but thats what makes it really challenging as well as the good graphics, sound, voice samples and huge amount of levels!
Ristar--I love this game, its so colorful, fun to play and just all around awesome. Released in the dying days of the Genesis :(
Ghostbusters-- This game is great fun, the best Ghostbusters game to date
I'm going to second the Misadventures of Flink
PS:
108 Stars: Habsburgs kick Hohenzollern's ass! (Sorry, my family ist von Osterreich, couldn't help it :) :) )
lol
I love Socket : Time Dominator too.... in fact, I'm the one who presented it to 108 Stars :P
Also Ristar, its one of the best things ever made for MD.
Not in the Seven Weeks War, they didn't!Quote:

But yeah, Ristar gets my vote.
Recently been enjoying Aero 2, and Magical Taruruto Kun.
It was released in Europe on Mega CD as well ...Quote:

Pulseman. My all time favorite Genesis game...
It is my most-fantasized dream that someone would take The Misadventures of Flink and cross it with Lemmings and make a game out of this outstanding concept. Oh wait... somebody already did that and called it Lomax the Lemming and released it for the PS1 (I refuse to call it the "PSOne", which is just retarded).
