The Scheme
sharc: Action platformer with a dash of Metroid-style exploration, though the non-linearity is mostly an illusion and you are fenced in to certain areas until you kill a boss and get the item that lets you access that one blocked-off spot on the opposite side of the map that you forgot about unless you were taking notes. Still very playable, except for the last boss which will probably kill you unless you found the secret health boost.
Music is by the famous Yuzo Koshiro, and because this was made right as the Sound Board II debuted, the game includes two different equally amazing FM synth soundtracks for both standard and enhanced hardware.
