Send In The Clones

[diet_orange]

So was playing Socket for the Sega Genesis, which feels more like a surface level copy paste of Sonic, last night

What are some other blatant clones out there? Good, bad, and just alright?

Alongside Socket, these are some other Sonic-esque games that you should check out and they all play pretty well:

Rocket Knight Adventures
Aero the Acro-Bat (along with the spinoff game Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel)
Jazz Jackrabbit
Rocky Rodent
Freedom Planet
Spark the Electric Jester

"freedom planet" started out as a sonic fan game before becoming its own thing

And I should have also specified "not just clones of Sonic, but clones of other games in general". Not that a lengthy discussion of Sonic knock offs isn't welcome

I've mentioned this game before, but Magical Doropie for the Famicom, or The Krion Conquest in the US, is a megaman clone thats tough as nails actually and not super fun
