Vectorman was released in late 1995 for the Sega Genesis. Developed by Blue Sky and published by Sega, it's a unique game in that is as much a platformer as it is a shooter. The game boasts some stunning rendered visuals, which give it a look all its own and were really advanced for its time. Vectorman is set in a post-apocalyptic world (circa 2049) that has been overrun by evil and it's his job to defeat the evil scum WarHead and return the world to normal.

"This game was great. I just want to find my old genesis and play it all over again. Beer, cashews, and Vectorman is all a guy needs. Damn, remember when this first came out? They had that contest where you couldn't find out whether or not you had a winning cartridge until after you beat the game. Some bastard beat it in no time and took my prize." - Tony O. Peeples

I have never heard of this game.
I have no room in my tv stand to hookup my Genesis/Sega CD. Maybe I should unplug my Master System

yeah I think I've seen something about that too. I think it'd have the potential to be pretty stellar, but I can't see it comparing to the überness that was the 2-d version

I had this game. It was pretty innovative graphically for its time and had a cool soundtrack. I played vectorman 2 on genecyst and its too fucking hard.
