SEGA Community Roundtable: Favourite SEGA Platformer That Isn’t a Sonic Game

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012

The SEGA Community Roundtable is back from a longer absence than usual (my bad)! This time we dicuss the best SEGA Platformer that isn’t a Sonic game. The usual rules apply, any SEGA published game qualifies as well as any game that was released on a SEGA console; Mega Drive, Dreamcast etc.

Click here to be taken straight to the feature or click the ‘Features’ link on our menu.

A huge thanks to our contributors who make this feature so special! There’s some brilliant writing in this feature which you should all take some time to read over; probably some of the best work I’ve seen on the roundtable!
