The soundtrack is also full of absolute bangers. The game has some very memorable bosses, including an ice boss defeated by tossing plates of hot curry into his mouth. You extend Ristar’s arms to navigate the levels and to grab enemies for a brisk and effective headbutt. 14 RistarĪnother personal favorite is Ristar, a criminally underappreciated game where you play as Ristar, a star with extremely stretchy arms and very cool shoes. You play as a puppet who can fire his head at enemies and the environment, trying to stop some sort of weird dancing cat thing that I am only learning now was the “evil puppet king.” You could also get new heads as power-ups, like one that made you a vacuum. It’s strange enough that I remember certain parts of it scaring me as a kid just from sheer “what is happening” energy. One of my favorite games as a kid, and one that the mention of almost always produces a blank stare, Dynamite Headdy is definitely strange. Instead, the Sega kids got perhaps one of the pound-for-pound strangest library of games on any console ever. Outside of Sonic the Hedgehog, and maybe Streets of Rage, most of the Genesis library didn’t prove to have a lasting history.

Barrels were being tossed with abandon in the Country of Donkey Kong.īut in some living rooms and/or family dens, including my own, sat a Sega Genesis. They were plumbing the depths of fascinating and beautiful dungeons in the Legend of Zelda : A Link To The Past. Across the country, with the release of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, or SNES, children everywhere were continuing what would likely be a life-long relationship with Nintendo’s famous plumber, Mario. In the 90s, the burgeoning video gaming scene had only grown further.
