Fans of Iron Man would be thrilled (if they weren’t upset about the minor robotic similarities). The box art was captivating with its edgy futuristic style and soft flat colors. Simply put, Vectorman was brilliant in all of the most important areas. So how did Vectorman get so much playing time in such a crowded gaming console backfield? People were playing these systems well into 19, despite the success of the PlayStation, Saturn, and N64. It’s easy to forget just how insanely popular the Super Nintendo and the Sega Genesis were.

Regardless, Vectorman received critical acclaim as it rode the Sega Genesis’s universal success all the way to the very end. Too little, too late? Or just on time? Vectorman may have been released just 6 weeks after Sony launched the heralded PlayStation and a short 4 weeks prior to the Sega Saturn’s debut, but that didn’t stop the critics and fans from making their rounds with the tough-as-nails, yet oddly lovable, Vectorman in his eponymous debut.ġ995 was a great year for video gaming but unfortunately too many folks overlooked this rock-em-sock-em run n’ gun classic.
