Pulseman, a rather obscure Sega Channel game, is this month’s winner. It’s not the best Sega Genesis platformer out there, but it has a lot to offer. The hero can shift between the real and digital world, which provides players with quite a bit of variety. He can also perform a variety of stunts, particularly his “Volteccer” dash which damages bad guys and allows Pulseman to cover long distances. Even better, plenty of old fashioned platforming fun to be had.
If there’s one thing that stands out about this game even eight years after I played it, it’s the graphics. Having been made by Game Freak, Pulseman looks a little bit like a Pokémon title. It also features some impressive backgrounds and animations as well as memorable bosses.
