I want to know what platformers were exclusive to the Genesis. THere were many that appeared on the snes as well as the Genesis, but I wish to know ones that only appeared on the Genesis.

And don't say Sonic The Hedgehog, because that is too obvious. :p

Ristar and Kid Khameleon come to mind immediately.

Socket and Awesome Possum too... ahem... LOL

Risky Woods was on the Genny? I thought that was just an Amiga/PC game.

Throw in Santa's Xmas Caper.

Tiny Toon Adventures comes to mind. Pretty different from the SNES version.

Sadly, I never spent too much time playing platformers on the genny (outside of a few obvious games), so this thread is making me want to fire up ol' Kega and go to town :)

Given my recent Castlevania obsession, I think I'm going to play through Bloodlines first (but not until after i finish slogging through Dracula XX)

Aladdin was different between the SNES/Gen versions

Also can't forget Vectorman and Vectorman 2 :D

Yup, pretty odd version too. Great music and colorful graphics but the hit detection makes for tons of cheap hits. Definitely worth a try as a curiosity.

Oy, no love for Kid Chameleon, either.

I gave it some love in the 1st reply of this topic. Though I wrote it Khameleon, lol, always have a tendency to do that.

I was playing some Sonic 2 (almost completing it). I need to get a Genesis to get some of these games.
