Comix Zone is a 1995 beat ’em up for the Sega Genesis with a visual style that still turns heads. You play as Sketch Turner, a comic book artist who gets pulled into his own comic by the villain he created. Trapped inside the pages, you literally fight your way panel by panel through hand-drawn environments, tear through comic borders, and smack down mutants with a killer attitude. What made it stand out? The comic book aesthetic—everything from panel transitions to onomatopoeia effects (POW! CRACK!) Stylized combat, with punchy sound design and gritty sprites Puzzle elements, like using items and Sketch’s pet rat, Roadkill An amazing rock-inspired soundtrack that cranked the Genesis to 11 It was hard as nails, stylish as hell, and way ahead of its time. This video features the title screen, slick comic transitions, and a few minutes of fast-paced gameplay that oozes '90s cool.
