Game Description
Journey back to 50 B.C. in this adventure starring the popular French cartoon character Asterix the Gaul. After Caesar ordered his soldiers to capture Getafix and Dogmatix, Asterix and his portly pal Obelix decide to free their friends. However, in order to reach them, they'll have to journey through six locales spanning multiple levels: Gaulish Village, The Roman Encampment, The Forest, Germany, Roman Galley, and Rome.While players can choose either character to complete a level, both have similar jumping, crouching, and punching moves. There are also various potion bottles that will grant Asterix or Obelix powers like throwing explosive capsules, creating cloud platforms, or becoming invincible. Passwords are available after each area so players can resume the comic adventure at a later time.

Asterix and the Great Rescue was released by Sega for Mega Drive (Genesis in North America) in 1993 and for Game Gear and Master System in 1994.
Plot
This game is based on the long-running, French comic book series Asterix the Gaul. The characters Asterix and Obelix must rescue Getafix (Panoramix) and Dogmatix (Idéfix) from the Romans, who are in the process of taking over Gaul.
Gameplay
It is a side-scrolling platform game, with various levels typical of the genre, including underwater. The startup screen offers a choice of difficulty level, as well as the ability to turn off the music and/or sound effects. The Master System version allows changing characters during a level, whereas the Megadrive port removes this feature in favour of allowing choosing characters at the start of a level.
