As someone who grew up in the SNES era, I can tell you exactly why this wasn't big: it was never promoted, really. Only hardcore gaming nerds (like myself) bought gaming mags, and without a TV commercial, no one would know about it. Guess what they never had, really?

Konami at this period in time loved making versions of games exclusive to that system so they weren't always simply just ports of what another system had. They liked trying to get the best out of a specific piece of hardware rather than attempting a direct port that may have had to be compromised in some way to get running on one system.

I played, and loved, all three of those games. Konami, in general, was an absolute legend throughout the 8-bit and 16-bit eras. I honestly feel blessed to have been born at the start of the 8-bit era, and experience the creativity and memories from so many amazing games.

One of the most Underrated games on the SNES, from one of my favorite platforming franchises.

Thank you for shining the spotlight on my boy Sparkster. The Rocket Knight Adventures series is vastly underrated and deserves another chance in life.

I think itâs worth noting that Treasure was formed by former Konami employees in 1992, while Sparkster released for SNES in 1994.
Sparkster was directed by Hideo Ueda, who mainly worked on shooters at Konami, including a role as lead programmer on Axelay in 1992 as well as a number of games in the Gradius, Parodius and Twinbee series. He remained with Konami at least until the 2000s, as he was credited on MGS3.
That said, devs undoubtedly kept in touch with their former co-workers, and a healthy spirit of competition led remaining Konami employees to push their limits trying to keep up with Treasureâs software wizardry; and gamers reaped the rewards with Konami titles like Sparkster, Contra: Hard Corps and Castlevania: Bloodlines.

A sparkster collection on modern platforms would be rad. Come on konami!

Loving these revisits. I know you still have snes games that you haven't touched on but you gotta go back for favorites and relive what made you get started. You're the best drunk.

0:54 I absolutely LOVE this song. Konami being awesome with the music, as usual.

Rented this one a TON as a kid. Looks like it still holds up really well!

I like to give the screen finger-guns whenever SNESDrunk says âyouâre gonna have to play this âany way you canââ

This game series certainly is one of the "Hidden Gems", really great quality and fun to play, not too easy and not too challenging as well and I'll be forever grateful that I got to know of these games thanks to SNES Drunk's earlier videos about them :)

I was introduced to this game by a former friend. I was hooked to this game during my kid days. Sadly, I never got to play the Genesis versions. This game has some of my favorite soundtracks that I still listen to till this day

Man those sampled orchestras in the first level are insane. When i first heard them i was surprised yet again at how good an SNES game can sound.

The main theme of the ending theme is quite similar to the Chorus of "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship. A very fitting theme for a Rocket Knight who just won a space war. :)

Loved this series as a kid. I remember that if you left the game you would get an interactive cut scene where you got to fight your rival in a giant rodent mech.

Everyone celebrates RKA but never the two Sparkster games, which I think are both pretty fun. I'm happy to see you give them their due!

About time we got a Rocket Knight collection on modern consoles!

Honest to god this game and the series is one of the main reasons I've started drawing and even made me dig deep for this series like some lore bits and how Axel Gear (the rival knight) dyes his hair a different color every game

This game is one of those forgotten gems that makes me think, "if the stars had lined up just right back then, this would have been huge." It's clear that these games were somebody's passion project at Konami, with so much effort and care put into them to make them shine. In some alternate timeline, Sparkster could've had a Saturday morning cartoon, an action figure line, and a revival series of its own. Most games don't really have that potential, but Sparkster has got it. A true hidden gem.
