Sketch Turner, a 'starving artist' and freelance rock musician living in New York City, is working on his newest comic book, named the 'Comix Zone.' Comix Zone is the story of the New World Empire's attempt to defend Earth from an invasion of alien renegades, with inspiration coming from Sketch's (oddly vivid) dreams and nightmares.

The video was made in 1992, displaying the animation of how the gameplay and the comic book elements would blend in. The concept for game originated from a Commodore Amiga demo video animated by Peter Morawiec titled 'Joe Pencil Trapped In The Comix Zone'. This style had been used in video games previously, for example Ocean Software's Batman: The Caped Crusader in 1988, but Comix Zone stretched the idea to such an extent that Sega applied for and were granted a patent for a 'Videogame system for creating a simulated comic book game'. An unusual feature of the game is that it is set within the panels of a comic book with dialogue rendered within talk bubbles and sprites and backgrounds possessing the bright colours and dynamic drawing style favoured by superhero comics. Ĭomix Zone is a 1995 arcade-style beat 'em up video game, originally released as a Sega Genesis exclusive.

I say this would be a good reason to get a Genesis (or emulator.If you think that the game in your browser does not behave as it should, try to choose another online emulator from this table. It's hard, but not in a way that makes you uninterested, but in a provokitive way that makes you angry and determined. The action never stops, and you can die fairly quickly if you don't pay attention, and you will lose constantly, this game is very unforgiving. The Story is told through Speach Bubbles (much like a comic book), and the characters and enemies interact with each other this way, without interupting the gameplay. You realize that the Comic has developed it's own mind, and is constantly changing in ways that will constantly suprise Sketch. The levels are all in Comic Book Pages, Goind from Panel to Panel fighting you way throgh the beastliest of Turner's creations. The Graphics are the best and most creative I've ever seen. You must use your Fighting Skills to rid the comic of the badguys that you yourself created. The game begins when you, Sketch Turner, are sucked into your own comic book. Comix Zone was one of the best games SEGA ever made.
