As a kid, I found the original Rocket Knight Adventures for Sega Genesis to be a hidden gem. For whatever reason, there was a new copy on extreme clearance at a local KB Toys for $8, which was the cheapest "new" video game I had ever seen at the time. I got it simply because it was so cheap and looked to be my kind of game (action platformer, mascot character), but I didn't have huge expectations for it to be great quality because of it's cheap price and that I had never heard of Sparkster. But boy, what a game it was! Without a few months, I had tracked down a copy of the sequel Genesis game and enjoyed both of them for many years since!
