This one is kind of a personal favorite, is it a good game? Depending on who's playing; it is definitely a niche pick.
This licensed adaptation of the B movie by the same name surprised me pleasantly with its take on the gloomy "Castlevania" franchise, with a hint of "Out of this World" and "Prince of Persia". The graphics are nothing to write home about, although they do look reminiscent of an Amiga platformer, the game features a large variety of enemies, traps, and dark environments, all well animated and with a consistent graphical style. The game's emphasis is on spellcasting, featuring up to 7 spell types, the "druid" also controls an orb that he can propel through telekinesis to thwart its foes. It is not a remarkable game, but I dare you to find a platformer that could truly make you feel like a powerful spellcasting wizard; on Sega Genesis - it's the only one.
