Rocket Knight Adventures
System(s): Sega Mega Drive
Publisher: Konami
Developer: Konami
Genre: Action

Rocket Knight Adventures (ロケットナイトアドベンチャーズ) is a 1993 platform game developed and published by Konami for the Sega Mega Drive. It was the first in a line of successful games, continuing with Sparkster: Rocket Knight Adventures 2, a different version of Sparkster for the Super Nintendo and more recently, Rocket Knight for the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade and PC.

The game stars an opossum named Sparkster who carries a sword and jetpack in an attempt to rescue a princess from the evil Axel Gear.

Gameplay

Sparkster's primary weapon is his sword, which he can use to fire a short-range projectile. However, it will do greater damage to an enemy if it makes direct contact. The sword can also be used to better effect with the jetpack. Charging the jetpack so that the energy bar is full and releasing will make Sparkster spin on the spot, whirling his sword in all directions. This will do additional damage to nearby enemies and is useful when Sparkster is surrounded. Releasing the energy while pushing a direction causes Sparkster to briefly fly in that direction with his sword in front of him, also doing damage to any enemy he collides with.
