Brofist on the Captain Planet slam... even as a kid I hated it.

Vectorman is so amazing, definitely among the dozen or Genesis titles I replay a lot throughout the years. I love how dark and evil 2 is, the atmosphere is so gritty and weird in both games.

Alien Soldier, X-Men 2, The 7th Saga, and the Streets of Rage games are all stuff I want to get to soon.

Sounds good!

Yeah yeah, that's up there too with Brandish and Brain Lord

It became an ultra-judgmental hangup I had as a kid. If you like that show, we can't be friends.

But...but...the power is yours!

It's kind of sad that for a lot of people Vectorman became, "hey look we're competing with Donkey Kong Country," because Blue Sky Software didn't intend it at all. They were just doing their own thing, not making it in response to DKC. People were just desperate to find something to compare to DKC on the Genesis.

It's a really cool game in its own right with slick graphics and silky smooth gameplay.

The problem I have with Vectorman, and some other late 16 bit releases, is the way the camera follows the player and character's direction a little too closely. Gives me a headache.

I totally get what you mean, it does take some getting used to

That is a good way to put it, pretty noticeable in the vertical based stages. It's definitely different and Vectorman being a bit big on the screen can make it funky.

Too bad this is Sega IP #94385 that died too quickly.

I think it's one of those cases where the intended remake wasn't going well and when that got dropped nobody ever felt the need to pick it back up.

Also a lot of Sega games fall into this pit where the IPs are recognizable to retro game freaks like us but not well known enough anymore to bother reviving for the general public.

I feel like Sega should just start farming out stuff like this to small studios and see what happens. It's not like they have anything to lose if the games turn out lousy.

The camera and vertical scrolling is what kept me from getting into this game. I never made it past level 1, the game just never clicked with me. I'll eventually give it another go, but I've already made several attempts in the past.
