Could anyone please send me some sort of Sega Saturn rescue party, explaining why I’m spending tonight digging through footage of games, including this ‘classic’ found on the Sega Saturn.

In this particular title, you play a Clockwork Knight (as you may have guessed) with a brilliant name, Pepperouchau, who journeys through a house in with some level design that LevelLord would be proud of. This was game concept back in the ’90s.

The things I remember about this game is that the levels, at least at the time seemed pretty interactive and crazy, particular with it’s use of background and foreground objects to create a sense of depth, something that many of the polygonal games were struggling in this era. A certain one I remember is in “Kevin’s Room”, with the trains coming in and out of the background. It really demonstrates that the Saturn, despite it’s many flaws, was a brilliant “2D”. Although all this 3D/2D has become all confusing with all this red/blue stuff.

And make sure you watch to around the 5-6 minute mark to see something that was honestly terrifying back in the day. Wait for my petition to bring Clockwork Knight 1 and 2 back from the depths of history, to be delivered to your homes soon!
