    Default Sonic Rip-Off Games that are still good...suggestions

    I've stumbled across some games that I really enjoy that are really similar to Sonic.

    Socket: Time Dominator and Zool spring to mind, and I really love both of these games. Any others anyone can think of?

    While not on Genesis, Superfrog is pretty much a Sonic rip-off and is pretty good.

    Kid Chaos is even more of a sonic rip-off than Superfrog on Amiga, good game though.

    It's not really a ripoff, but Pulseman is fantastic.

    Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Hidden Treasure was another Sonic ripoff. It played pretty good as well.

    I agree with you.

    Pulseman is a excellent game.

    I like Jazz Jackrabbit very much.

    Why the hell are all games that have speed and spring pads automatically Sonic ripoffs ? IMO, these games have practically nothing to do with Sonic, only speed and springboards, nothing else.

    Yeah I find it annoying that all platform games are branded either Mario or Sonic rip-offs. Before Sonic came along every platform game was called a Mario rip-off, its not like Mario was the first platform game, although you'll often hear it cited as so.

    Oh, I totally agree...but I figure if they're sonic ripoffs, there is a strong likelihood that they aren't bad. By branding a game as such, the suggestions I've had so far seem good. I mean, what kind of responses would I get if I asked "hey, anyone know any good 'Bubsy' or 'Aero the Acrobat" ripoffs?"

    I think Super Mario Bros. was the first sidescrolling platform game, but I'm not really sure.

    Nope it wasn't, Pac-Land precedes it by several years, and there were others.

    Hm. Thanks for telling me that. I got my source from a list of video game "firsts", I guess it was wrong.
