People have been bugging me to review Rocket Knight Adventures for years, and now that I finally have, I get why. This is one of the finest 16-bit platforms I've ever played. One of those Genesis games that makes me jealous as a Super Nintendo kid.


You control a possum in a suit of armour with a sword and a rocket pack, and you fight pigs as you travel from a village to outer space. I...well...it makes sense when you play it. Kinda. The controls are crisp and the rocket pack mechanic really takes the gameplay to the next level. Great variety between stages, an awesome soundtrack, sharp graphics, and it's the way all retro games should be: tough as fuck. I love this game.


I crossed the retro podcast streams this week and asked Captain N of the Retrotopia podcast to join me, and we spent nearly an hour singing the praises of this possum and his adventures. I can say this game is a lock for my top 10 Genesis games now, and it's knocking on the door of the very exclusive top 5 club...


And before we rocket away, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!


This week, someone asks what my favourite part of RTG is? Are there too many rouge-like card combat games these days? And if I could host one major TV gameshow, which would it be?


Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 of my all-time favourite Genesis games: Shining Force, Gunstar Heroes, and Streets of Rage 2.
