Classic Game - Jewel Master (Megadrive)

[Duddyroar]

Ok, I know what you're thinking. This is far from a classic game. It's actually a very average side-scrolling platformer in the style of Castlevania.



However, I've got a major softspot for this game. The Japanese artwork is excellent, and the music is also brilliant. The gameplay often annoys, but the idea of combining your rings to create new weapons works quite well. As I mentioned before, the game 'feels' very much like Castlevania in places.

Well worth picking up as it's pretty cheap - try and get the Jap version for the stunning coverart.

Anyone else a Jewel Master fan?

I'm in, i'm a sucker fr 16bit sidescrollers, there needs to be dedicated sites to games like this.

What do you do in this game!?!

Walk right and attack the enemies!

What more do people want.

I had never played this until a moment ago, seems a bit weak, but the visuals and sound are pretty decent. One thing I did notice is the music on the first level after about 30seconds it starts to sound like one of the tracks from CV4. Very strange- maybe the same musician, who knows?
