Taz the Tasmanian Devil lands on Mars in a colorful, generous platformer. Good animations, varied levels. More solid than expected for a licensed game. Pleasantly surprising.

Taz in Escape from Mars arrived in 1996, after the console was officially dead in the West, and that timing is exactly why it commands a premium. Distributed by Tec Toy in Brazil for a Master System base that uniquely survived there, it belongs to the ultra-late wave with limited print runs. An 8-bit conversion of the Mega Drive game, its high value rests on the mix of Brazilian scarcity and sought-after Looney Tunes licensing rather than gameplay alone.
Is Taz in Escape from Mars still worth playing in 2026?
A late platformer from Sega, Taz in Escape from Mars has the Tasmanian devil escape a red planet where he has been captured, through colourful levels where he whirls, devours everything and charges without thinking. The cartoon humour faithful to the character, the careful production and the brisk pace give a likeable platformer, especially on the Brazilian side. The gameplay stays classic and accessible. For a retro platforming fan, a Looney Tunes fan or someone curious about the console's late catalogue, the title keeps a comic charm and a good natured pleasure.
