Comix Zone (1995)

Mega Drive/Genesis: the comic is the level. Sketch crosses panel borders, chooses routes through the page and fights inside drawings that keep reminding you someone is making this world. The framing changes how you read the space, rather than merely decorating a conventional brawler with speech bubbles. It remains a wonderfully direct way to make presentation into play. The harsh cost of mistakes is part of the original, so admire the idea without expecting a gentle first run.
