Sometimes it would just be fighting some bad guys, other times it would be using items that you equipped to get pass safely (using your rat to turn off a switch on the other side of a spinning fan for example). Not only that, most panels had some sort of obstacle to pass.

The game is really unique in the fact that it uses the comic panel very well, giving you multiple paths to finish a level. Sure we have had a ton of comic book games on the consoles, but this wasn’t about a license, this was trying to get the comic book feel with some solid beat ’em up action. Like most video game fans, I was a huge comic book fan as well. Regardless, SEGA Technical Institute was made to show Japanese developers western culture via video games. Back in the early 90’s, this wasn’t the case. You see, now every Japanese team wants to ‘learn’ from western developers, the reason is because western games are outselling Japanese games. I think the team also shows how innovative SEGA really was at that time.

The team had industry greats working there, such as Mark Cerny, Stieg Hedlund and Yuji Naka. Move over Sonic 4, this is the Genesis game that deserved a sequel!Ĭomix Zone was developed, in my mind, by one of the most creative SEGA teams during this time SEGA Technical Institute (STI). I think with PSN & XBLA games doing so well, it might be time for SEGA to do a proper sequel for this title. My pick is Comix Zone, it might have been a very hard and short game, but it still remains as one of my favorite SEGA Genesis titles of all time. This is my first time taking on the ‘SEGA Sequel Saturdays’ feature, I hope I do it justice.
