The graphics still really stand out amongst other Genesis games. Really good-looking, cool game. Wasn't the cartridge unusually expensive? I seem to recall it being unattainable when I was a kid, though I wanted it. I only ever rented it.
Blue sky, the developers behind it, where also responsible for Starflight, the best iteration of the original pc game, and the best Jurassic Park game that exists (IMO).
And also Shadowrun! How many great, unique titles they churned, and yet were responsible for Ariel the little mermaid..
They also are the creators of one of the few enjoyable 32x titles with Spiderman's web of fire.
Sadly Titus interactive killed it.
For Vectorman, the character never appealed to me, though props for those smooth 60 frames per second on a 16 bit title!
