Ristar: The Game That Could’ve Rivaled Sonic! Sega Genesis
28Ristar is a hidden gem from the Sega Genesis era, released in 1995 by Sonic Team. While it flew under the radar due to the rising popularity of 3D gaming at the time, it delivers a vibrant, polished platforming experience that still holds up today. Instead of running fast like Sonic, Ristar uses his extendable arms to grab enemies, swing from poles, and climb through beautifully designed levels full of charm and color. The controls are tight, the music is catchy, and each world brings fresh gameplay mechanics. It's a creative and often overlooked classic that showcases the brilliance of late-era Genesis games.
