Dynamite Headdy Retrospective Review

In 1994 Treasure released a 16-bit platformer for the Sega Mega Drive called Dynamite Headdy about a heroic puppet with a detachable head. He was born in a time when every games company felt that they needed a lovable little mascot like Mario and Sonic and with this being a platformer he also had to compete with them. A big task to undertake. Unfortunately as it was released late into the 16-bit console era he wasn’t able to pull it off in the long run and the game never quite reached the heights of Treasure’s other titles but the game is still one of the best games available on the system.
