Psycho Fox - SEGA Master System

Never heard of it you say? Well if you have heard of Decapattack for the Genesis/Megadrive then it is basically the same game. You control a fox to start with, but later on you get to be different animals to help you on your way. Animals available are a Monkey which helps you to jump higher, a Hippo which can smash blocks to clear your path, and also a Tiger (or was it a cheetah... I cant remember) which lets you run faster, and thus enables you to jump farther with a greater run up.

I remember seeing this game featured in an old magazine when I was a youngster, and thinking 'WOW! That looks awesome' so I just had to own it, and indeed I did.

To help you on your journey, there is a bird which you collect from an egg, usually one of the first you see on each level. This bird can be fired at your enemy, and after a short period of time comes flying back to you so you never lose it.

Also available are hidden portals which when smashed open with the bird, sends you to a warp level which features many tubes to go down, and if you know where to look on the very first level, can send you to the last level.

This is a great platform game, and I urge everyone to give it a try, even those that cannot stand cutesy platform games.
