RISKY WOODS (SEGA GENESIS SG)

Unusually for Electronic Arts in the early 90s, it was a platform shooter with little to no adventure or strategy elements. The game is side-scrolling and has sections where precision jumps are required, either to clear rivers or collect bonuses. You carry a dagger to deal with enemies and must avoid contact with them. Once killed, they drop coins for you to collect - these are spent in shop sections. Death causes you to lose most of your coins, but they can usually be recovered if they land on solid ground, making it better to be killed in combat than by drowning.
