    One of my favorite games when I was a kid. Has a neat theme involving navigating your way through the scenes and pages of a comic book. However this game is hard as heck, lol.

    This was probably the best game on the Mega Drive, the things that the developers pulled off with the audio and visuals was astounding for the then ageing console. This conversion plays just like you remember it, it's fast paced challenging but rewarding game-play and simple but engaging characters stand up really well today.

    It is a short game, you can finish it in around 45 minutes, but it's charm and great game-play will have you re-playing it over and over.    … Expand

    20 years later I made it. This game seemed impossible to finish for me as a kid. Now, with an emulator and quick saves and loads I made kinda a Celeste game out of it. And it became wonderful.

    Pros: +This taste of finally finishing a game 20 years later. Such a good therapy. +Comic book style art: especially the head of Statue of Liberty on the second panel and unfinished sketch of    20 years later I made it.

    Pros:
    +This taste of finally finishing a game 20 years later. Such a good therapy.
    +Comic book style art: especially the head of Statue of Liberty on the second panel and unfinished sketch of last panel.
    +The length is quite right. It's not an another never-ending game of the era.
    +Smart ways to defeat bosses.
    +Different paths across the comic book page.
    +2 endings!

    Cons:
    -In the end, combat is one-button and kinda boring.
    -W/o quick saves it super punishing and repetitive.
    -The ending implying that the book became a bestseller lies. It's just six pages. Should be at least standard 22-24 pages :)    … Expand

    I got a Sega Genesis handheld for Christmas, and this was one of the games. I tried it expecting it not to be very good, but it was a REALLY cool concept. It takes place in a comic book that gets drawn enemies as you go, and it adds the effect of kind of breaking the fourth wall by making your character switch panels by swinging by the borders. It has really fun fights and dialogue. It'sI got a Sega Genesis handheld for Christmas, and this was one of the games. I tried it expecting it not to be very good, but it was a REALLY cool concept.

    Estética maravillosa para un juego de 16 bits. La jugabilidad muy repetitiva, al final acaba aburriendo

    Arguably the best part of this game is stylistic graphic which is absolute timeless and very unique! It's true that this game is very hard and punishing as well as it's short but story while short and silly is kinda engaging. Unique locations are making this game sort of memorable and soundtrack is not bad at all. I wouldn't recommend it without emulator quick saves cause it would be aArguably the best part of this game is stylistic graphic which is absolute timeless and very unique!
