Move over, GG Aleste 2; step aside, Sonic Triple Trouble; back up, Greendog the Beached Surfer Dude: This is the real Game Gear killer app.
Ristar GG's accuracy to both the original mechanics and feel are endlessly commendable. The few compromises it makes in content don't impact the joy of exploring its vivid world, and its new stages feel like they could fit right in with the tone of the original.
This is actually how I experienced Ristar for the first time, over a decade and a half ago on this abominable thing. I never got farther than Sonata act 1 back then, but it quickly cemented itself as this ethereal, mesmerizing developmental experience.
