Sparkster

You go, not Rocket Knight. That said, props to High Seas Havoc for also looking competent.

Socket

I thought this one was the most interesting from the not-Sonic perspective, even though it might not be the best one of them as, like, a game in general.

Bug!

for looking like a really neat concept for a game, that just didn't work out as well as it could have.

Jazz Jackrabbit

raocow seemed to have a lot of fun with this, and I enjoyed watching the video. In my mind, I've always associated this game with Commander Keen, probably because they were both DOS games. So it would be nice if raocow could add it to his archive of LPed games, too.

I think Bubsy and Sparkster would also make great LPs, because of raocow's enjoyment with them. The unconventional gameplay of Bug! intrigues me. High Seas Havoc, Socket, Ardy Lightfoot, and Punky Skunk looked like fine games, but I don't think they would be interesting enough in the long run to merit taking up a valuable LP slot. All the other Not Sonics were either too generic looking, unpolished, or confusing to follow.

Sparkster, because watching it made me look forward to watching cowman play the whole thing.

I also have to give honourable mention to High Seas Havoc for being a competent video game that I had no idea existed whatsoever, but it just doesn't have that spark (haha get it).
Hi YouTube peeps! Want a cozier, chiller community that actually feels like a discussion instead of shouting into an endless void?

Jazz Jackrabbit looked interesting and fun. It also has an amazing soundtrack.
