Ristar is a platform game that came out in 1995 for the Sega Megadrive, this is a fairly slow paced platform game compared to the Sonic games, Ristar attack enemies by grabbing them and headbutts them. He uses his elastic arms to swing at poles to get around the levels, which ranges from tropical jungles to icy planets and highlights the game gorgeous sprite graphics, which is arguably the best graphics on the Sega Megadrive.

While at first the levels seems fairly standard and quite easy, later on the game gets a lot tougher, and you'll probably thank the save anywhere feature available on the Megadrive launcher because the game itself doesn't have a save feature.

If you are searching for a classic platform game that's different from the usual offerings of Sonic and Mario gameplay, give Ristar a try!
