While Comix Zone is in many ways a typical punch-everyone-in-sight-and-move-to-next-screen platform game, the innovative comic-book style presentation sets it above and beyond other games of this ilk. You are comic book artist Sketch Turner, who is sucked into his own comic book world and must fight numerous baddies to escape back to the real world. In contrast to mundane hero-saves-the-world plot of countless other platform games, the story in Comix Zone is unique, and fits in perfectly with the game's presentation.

One of the most underrated platform conversions of all time and one of the least known SEGA games, Comix Zone is an innovative platform game that turns the typical side-scrolling format into a cool interactive comic book, where each scene is a panel. And one thing's for sure: you'll need all the help you can get! Knives, grenades, bombs, superhero icons, and even your pet sewer rat, Roadkill, are there for extra help when you need them. Moves like the serial high tornado kick, the uppercut, the floor sweep, the whirlwind jump kick, and more are at your disposal as you try to end Mortus' evil ways. Three Episodes of beat 'em up action are there for you as Sketch to battle through, each consisting of two levels. Now Sketch must fight for his life against his own creations, each illustrated by Mortus as Sketch moves from comic frame to comic frame. It seems that Sketch's most vile criminal creation, Mortus, has managed to leave his home in the fictional Newer York City and exchange places in the real world with Sketch himself.

As fun as such an occupation may sound, Sketch's life is about to get much more interesting.

Comix Zone tells the story of Sketch Turner, a 'starving artist' comic book writer/rock musician trying to get by.
