Play Jewel Master (World) (Rev A) Online

Jewel Master came out for the Sega Genesis in 1991, published by Sega. It was part of that wave of early 90s action platformers that tried to blend fantasy settings with a little more mechanical depth. The game doesn't get talked about as much as some of the bigger titles from that era, but it had its own quiet following.

You control a young sorcerer on a quest to stop an ancient evil. The main goal is to explore a series of side scrolling levels, defeat monsters, and collect the eight elemental jewels. Your primary tool is a set of magical rings; you can combine two at a time to create different spell effects, like mixing fire and ice to produce a steam explosion. Combat is methodical, requiring you to manage your limited magic while dodging enemy attacks. The pacing is deliberate, and the difficulty can be unforgiving, especially in later stages. It feels like a thoughtful, sometimes punishing adventure where every spell choice matters.
