Out of the 100 or so games I ordered to sell, the two I pulled for my own personal collection, was a very ugly copyof NBA Jam, and Rocket Knight adventures.

Wow what a fun platformer. are there more games like this? My initial reaction to the name of the game, and the cover was that it was so campy. But after playing it, I couldn't help but be enthralled by colorful visuals and the ultra tight controls.

Kudos who whomever made this one!

RKA has fantastic sound and colours, as well as fantastic, varied gameplay. You have to love the music accompanying the first flight sequence, after destroying the Pig Tank.

It's a shame the Euro and US versions were so tough-camp - if you get a chance, pick up the Japanese version of the game. It's chiplocked, but the game's cuter. For example, a slightly different intro and level intro sequences.

It's the perfect platformer, and I love it. <3

Ahh Rocket Knight. That game brings back some memories. Amazing graphics and play mechanics. It's too bad that great games like this get overlooked by a large part of the gaming community because they're considered "kiddie" games based on the cute characters. I always thought games like this were far more engrossing and challenging than any Madden incarnation. But then, I'm a freak.

Why did they remove the cuteness from our version?
