i remember this game looking so crisp and graphically smooth. like the orbs in my memory were perfectly round and spherical. this game transports me back to that time.
I'm getting so much nostalgia from watching this video. All from the sounds, the music and the level design. Used to play Vectorman all the time as a kid, could never get past the tornado boss.
This is for Genesis? INSANE. Smoothness of animations, 3D-look, huge amounts of particles everywhere, moving backgrounds, and those flags! Holy moly. SNES doesn't even come close... Great soundtrack too! Reminds me of 90s club music.
This is funny, because Vectorman was ACTUALLY SEGA’s answer to Donkey Kong Country. And like DKC, Vectorman uses pre-rendered 3D graphics, but the cool part is that I feel Vectorman did it so much better… if not for the intrusive sound effects that overtake the music.
@@AllThatGlitters777 One of the things that pisses me off about this game is that the sound effect volume is way higher than the music volume. The player's shots are especially too loud compared to the rest of the game.
I remember looking at the amazing artwork on the game cartridge and buying it just for the artwork without much in game expectations. When I first booted up this game I was blown away by the intro screen and the music. Gameplay in itself was awesome but I used to just sit on the welcome screen jamming to the music like I’m Vectorman. The graphics, music and gameplay of this game was way ahead of both its time not just the standards of the Genesis era when it comes to 2d run and gun platformers. Once Contra made me a fan of Run and gun games, nothing really satisfied me except this game until the Metal Slug came to NeoGeo.
I had this game as a child - I wasn't very good at platformers, and rarely got much past the Bamboo Mill. One day, I managed to get all the way to the end boss.... and promptly died with one life left. Never got to see the ending until now.
I didn't even know that you could multiply the lives like that. I'm still learning more about this game. Yes, I know most of these were played as a kid, but still. Not related to this game, but I'm still finding new things in Ocarina Of Time videos and speed runners. I love those days as a kid, and I still have all my Sega games, too!
Absolutely not...this game plays in the crappy league with Comix Zone or BoB and all those awful action-plateformer from America : long, repetitive, with the worst level design at that time like a maze... US développers copied the Sonic games level design but it suied for SONIC not for others games. Vectorman had hundred of better games on the Genesis in front of him : Gunstar Heroes, El Viento, SoR 1/2, Castle/World of illusion, all Sonic, Flink, Lion King, Shinobi 3, Alisia Dragoon, Contra etc....
@@alberichsama7486 Ecco 1 and 2 are two good examples of good western adventure games on the Genesis. Also Ristar is one you didn't mention. Vectorman was legit, and graphicaly wyse one of the very best on the 16bit era.
This most impressive thing to me in this game is the animation on those flags, which is kinda gorgeous. But why is that black border down the left side the screen sometimes?
The black border hides distortion on the side that occurs when the Genesis does Rotation FX. the distortion is visible in a game called STEEL EMPIRE on the Submarine boss
D sides have brought me here Vector man is Robot designed to clean up, and take back control of the planet from the mind control of a warhead, Game looks way too good.
Me as a child playing this game: Replacing a robot’s head with a nuke? Nothing unusual there. Me as an adult remembering this game: How do you fuck that up!
Тоже всегда об этом думал. Были слухи, что в конце 90-х планировали сделать фильм или мульт по этой игре. Если это действительно так, то теперь понятно, кому достались черновые варианты сценария и концепция сюжета) Слишко уж много совпадений и сходств, даже в дизайне роботов (Ева, например, тоже состоит из левитирующих сфер).
One thing I like about this game a lot is that the creator matched the theme music perfectly with its respective levels. The creator nailed that spot on.
That’s likely because, at the time, Donkey Kong Country was more popular & sold more units; Vectorman & Donkey Kong were fighting over who would gain popularity & a cult following, with Donkey Kong clearly being the victor. Vectorman attempted a shot at being on-par with Donkey Kong Country, as that’s where the former drew inspiration from, but in spite of a sequel, Vectorman never lived up to gaming standards or lived long-enough to see next-gen.
Many Genesis games were on par or better than Snes. It wasn't the games but the marketing what gave Nintendo the upper hand only at the end of the generation. This and Ecco among others like Ristar, Sonic 3D blast, Comix zone, Ranger X, Alien soldier, Gunstar Heroes, Contra: Hard corps, Virtua racing, Star Cruiser, Zero tolerance and many more proved what the Genesis was capable of. As a matter of fact i believe that games from both consoles could had runned in one another with some minor twitchs here and there.
I was a 90s kid who twisted elbows for my parents to get this game for my Genesis thanks to Sega's In Yo Face style marketing Watching this, while nostalgia, also notice how much intluence arcade games had on developers. Mainly how only strat for each type of baddie is keep shooting. Gets kind of repetitive. But good times, otherwise
It's repetitive for sure. I think a large part of the fun came from how difficult the game was. You just wanted to keep playing and overcome a boss that was destroying you.

This game seemed very advanced at the time.
Yup
i remember this game looking so crisp and graphically smooth. like the orbs in my memory were perfectly round and spherical. this game transports me back to that time.
It really did.
I think we missed the hidden messages
Holy shit I have legit spent years and years searching for this and finally found it again. Good memories
Yup same here could not remember for years and trying to explain the game was the worse lol.
you spent years when you could have just googled it?
@@lambgoat2421Googled what, the name they couldn't possibly remember?
😂. Same here brother. Just now rediscovering it. Crazy feeling.
@@mark030a you could google genesis game with a green guy in it and you would have found it easily
I'm getting so much nostalgia from watching this video. All from the sounds, the music and the level design. Used to play Vectorman all the time as a kid, could never get past the tornado boss.
There were too many times where I died right as I got in the last hit
This game is a masterpiece.

Closure my friend.
I'm already pissed he didn't shoot above the Sega logo in the beginning
😂😂😂
Terribly underrated

great soundtrack on this game
I like how the turret enemy makes that growling kinda sound when you kill it.
This is one of my all-time favorite games. You didn't want to play the mini-game at the SEGA screen? Aww...
I'd say it's more of a tutorial than mini game.
This game shows the true power of the Genesis
Happy anniversary Vectorman🎉
This would be a really good concept for a movie or a updated version
one of the best game on the system for sure
You exagerete

nice vectorman longplay - (sega genesis ) 1995 hd !!!

So fluid...😳
Nice walkthrought on insane difficulty
I remember playing this back in the day
7:35 after first boss this was the fun part XD nostalgia at its best
great game, one of my foavourite
D sides have brought me here
Vector man is Robot designed to clean up, and take back control of the planet from the mind control of a warhead, Game looks way too good.
I miss this game so much
Had this game growing up in the early 90s
Me as a child playing this game: Replacing a robot’s head with a nuke? Nothing unusual there.
Me as an adult remembering this game: How do you fuck that up!
Growing up this game was definitely ahead of its time. I'd love a movie 🎬 about vectorman 😊 the animation I can just imagine 😍
ahhh yes 90s techno and a video game made about it haha
I have the original SEGA music CD. Amazing
Muito bom esse jogo para a época!🇧🇷
0:59
I wonder if this game inspired someone at Pixar to make Wall-E

This game was way too hard as a kid. I never made it past Rock n Roller. Wish me luck on mobile
its on mobile?!
@@Hellohumanspodcast yes apparently
@@Hellohumanspodcastit technically is, I believe; I once replayed this game on a Genesis emulator on my old Android phone when I was a teenager.
Yes i have it. Is part of the SEGA Forever app.
Just be sure to buy one of those game controllers that wrap around your phone
Saga needs to sue Disney’s Wall-e for ripping off Vectorman’s story.
It's one of the favorite games
game is so hard haha
Best play through I’ve seen yet not counting speed runs. You clearly know the ins and outs of this game.
I wish music would be lil bit louder, and shooting sound lil bit muted..
Yeah the sound effects are too loud compared to the rest of the music, especially those dang player shots!
So this story was wall•e before wall•e
One thing I like about this game a lot is that the creator matched the theme music perfectly with its respective levels. The creator nailed that spot on.
This and Vectorman 2 needs to be remastered
Why? It's still fun to play, and I have it on Steam, as part of Sega Mega Drive Collection.
This game was on par with Nintendo games. I’m surprised it didn’t sell more
That’s likely because, at the time, Donkey Kong Country was more popular & sold more units; Vectorman & Donkey Kong were fighting over who would gain popularity & a cult following, with Donkey Kong clearly being the victor.

This play through makes 8 year old me feel like a failure lol.
This is honestly one of the goat old school games of all time
This needs a remaster!!!
I remember having a brain aneurysm playing this as 6 year old. This game scared me a bit.
I remember this game when it was brand new I was in elementary school I was 9
I had this game when I had my Sega Genesis I miss my old gaming systems wish I would have never traded them in
Wild Dynamic

But good times, otherwise
I'm kinda shocked this game didn't get a comic book.
I'd love a modern version of this game
Theeeeee best game on Sega
Na, Genesis had some bangers. I love this game and it’s sequel, but there are a ton of wonderful games on the platform.
Among them. Top ten for sure...
First video game I ever beat.
I like 15:10 SPLASH😂
Who else came here from cycles d side
2024 now 2049 for us 😂😂😂
this game looks really boring.
Nah it’s great just it’s nothing like lego fortnite or call of duty
Wasn't when it came out and I played it in 95. But maybe compared to what you may be used to in the gaming world now.
@@mdcorbett compared to Goof Troop on the super nintendo I would be bored
It's repetitive for sure. I think a large part of the fun came from how difficult the game was. You just wanted to keep playing and overcome a boss that was destroying you.
