PLEASE ADD VECTOR MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I grew up with both Vectorman games on Sega Genesis. Often compared to Donkey Kong Country on SNES. Mostly due to being 2D platformers with some 3D models. But Vectorman actually more of a run & gun style platformer. They were quite creative with the presentation. Instead of the usual Sega logo then the game loads. It stops to allow you to play around the Sega logo with some secrets. It's a rather decent game with an amazing soundtrack. Fantastic sound effects despite the audio chip for the system not great. Vectorman had some mind blowing animations. A good variety of stages to keep things interesting. The same company made two decent Jurassic Park games on the same system. Which you can currently get through Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection. Vectorman does have a learning curve. Some amazing power ups to help through out the stages. It was released late into the Genesis run. I still felt among the best Genesis games of it's year. Vectorman isn't quite Mega Man but more of his own thing. I always remembered the cover for a long time. This was an ambitious Genesis game that held up amazingly well.
Old but gold. Running around the distinct rapid fire "pff-pff-pff-pff" sound effect for attacks was so much fun. The bosses, enemies, and levels were very unique for their time.

Keio Flying Squadron 2Keio Flying Squadron 2 was released in 1996 for the Sega Saturn in Japan, Europe, and Australia. The second installment of the series continues the story of Rami's adventures as the Keeper of the Secret Treasure (a sphere passed down through generations of Rami's family). Rami races Dr. Pon and a new rival Himiko Yamatai for an ancient treasure that can be unlocked with six spheres. Two of the stages retain the shoot-'em-up style of the first game, but the lesser dragons can be obtained as bonuses only.
Mainly the stages consist of sidescroling platformer stages. These scroll from right to left on the Japanese version and left to right on all other versions. Several bonuses can be collected including three weapons (Rami can also bounce on the heads of enemies to defeat them):
A large mallet, used only for hitting enemies
An umbrella, used to hit enemies, float and deflect overhead obstacles
A bow, used to shoot arrows at enemies.
Besides the platformer and shoot-'em-up stages, there is vertically scrolling special stages, an underwater stage and a rollercoaster stage, making the game a multi-genre platformer. Points spheres can be collected throughout the game. A reward system accessed from the main menu unlocked helpful hints and behind-the-scenes extras depending on the highest and lowest scores achieved through playing.Action Comedy
