Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

I've tried so many times to get into both of them, but the controls and game feel are just kinda off for me, and I usually don't get far past the beginning stage. I don't think it's Vectorman's fault though. I have this problem with a lot of later Genesis releases. The difficulty and the jank of the controls or mechanics put me off playing past the few levels, which is a shame because they are stunning for 16 bit titles.
