In the genre of platformers, it’s no question who had the best games on the Genesis. However, Flicky proves to be fun and engaging in its own right. It would have benefited from a graphical upgrade, but the gameplay and charming graphics are worth checking out.

Sega Genesis reviews
Socket – Sega Genesis
Socket had potential but its poor level design, flawed controls and shameless similarities to the Sonic the Hedgehog games drag it down. It’s good for about an hour of time killing, but not much more.
Surgical Strike – Sega CD
Surgical Strike is one of many FMV games that failed to make the genre a thing. While not the worst of the bunch, poor video quality and repetitive game play are enough to scare off anyone who doesn’t already love games like this.
Chuck Rock – Sega CD
Chuck Rock came out at a time when platformers were everywhere and it has everything you want in the genre. The music is especially enjoyable, and while nothing else stands out as being awesome, it has nothing wrong with it either.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein Sega CD isn’t your traditional Sega CD title, but instead is a unique platforming title with above-average graphics!
