   Awesome Possum was a game developed by Tengen and released on the Sega Genesis in 1993. Now let me describe this game and you tell me what it sounds like. The game is a plat former, you are a high speed animal, trying to save the forest and other animals from an evil guy that uses his robotic minions to try to stop you. Any guesses? Well ether Awesome Possum is Sonic the Hedgehogs distant cousin or its a complete rip off of Sonic. The controls in this game feel crazy sloppy, and its hard to jump on platforms because its hard to control where you land. The music is not very good, I normally turn the volume on the tv off when I play this game. The enemies in this game include robots with chainsaws, and a drill thing that looks kinda like the first boss in sonic excluding Dr. Robotic driving it. You collect trash to gain 1 ups in this game. One thing I like in Awesome Possum is that you can find a giant bee, and fly it. One of the most annoying thing in this game is after you complete a level you are asked questions buy a group on animals that look like they are in a court room, the questions are normally about stuff in nature or recycling. Yea if I wanted to get quizzed I would go back to school! When I pop in a game I want to play a game not take a science test. Over all this game is not terrible, but its not all that good ether. I do play it every now and then because its so cheesy.
