This week we delve into our shared Sega heritage with fast paced action platformer Freedom Planet. Launched from a Kickstarter budget of just $25,472, Freedom Planet from GalaxyTrail is a love letter to the character platformer and Sega nostalgia. One part Mega Man, one part Gunstar Heroes, one part Rocket Knight, and many parts Sonic & Knuckles; Freedom Planet is a high speed platform game that recalls the glory days of “blast processing.”

We discuss the game, and then spend a good long while talking about some of the kick-ass Sega Genesis games we played and loved over the years.
