A playthrough of Konami's 1993 platform game for the Sega Genesis, Rocket Knight Adventures. • Played through on hard mode. And since it's a Konami game, you know just how accurate that label is. That being said, it is just as satisfying as it is difficult. • Rocket Knight Adventures was a game that Konami produced during the period where it started heavily developing for the Sega Genesis console. It was a brand-new IP that, like so many other companies were trying to do at the time, was attempting to establish a franchise on an animal mascot after the amazing success Sega had with Sonic. • And while Sparkster, our opossum hero, never was the runaway cash-printing machine that Konami doubtlessly intended him to be, he starred in three phenomenally good (and criminally underrated) 16-bit platformers. He dusted the likes of Bubsy, Awesome Possum, Aero, Zero, and just about any other. • It's clear how much was invested in this game. The graphics and sound were top-notch for the Genesis, it was just as fast as Sonic and rarely suffered slowdown or sprite break-up, the controls were excellent, and the varied level designs kept it feeling fresh right through the to the finale. Bloodlines and Hyperstone Heist have nothing on this game! • Sparkster's main thing was his jetpack. He could use it to fling himself into enemies for heavy damage, to launch himself across chasms that otherwise couldn't be crossed, and my favorite - he could launch himself into walls to ricochet back and forth, almost like a wall-jump, but much faster and cooler. • The stages span a few different genres - you have standard platform stages, shoot 'em up areas, and quite a few that sit somewhere in-between. RKA's designers really went all-out to prevent it from feeling stale. • It had a direct sequel (Sparkster on the Genesis), a spin-off (my favorite game in the series, Sparkster in the SNES), as well as a final throwback sequel to the Genesis Sparkster, Rocket Knight, released on the PS3/Xbox 360 back in the late 2000s. • So, while Sparkster never became a household name like Sonic did, his games were just as good. Rocket Knight Adventures is a classic, and doesn't deserve to be forgotten. • _ • No cheats were used during the recording of this video. • NintendoComplete (http://www.nintendocomplete.com/) punches you in the face with in-depth reviews, screenshot archives, and music from classic 8-bit NES games! • Visit for the latest updates! • / 540091756006560 • / nes_complete
