Favourite Genesis Games?

[Drak]

My favorites :

Boihazard Battle
Raiden Trad
Sonic 2 (best of the series)
Cyborg Justice
Contra Hard Corps

I still have these games somewhere in my closet. Just mentioning these games make me want to play them again. Genesis was my favorite system compared to the SNES.

​

Nooo!!! Sonic 2's last boss may be the hardest but, Sonic 3 With sonic and knuckles attached byfar owns any MD sonic games ^.^

I mean Super Tails who doesnt love that cute lil fella? Let alone Hyper Sonic and Hyper Knuckles!

I had to register just to toss out this classic:

Herzog Zwei!

Granddaddy of RTS/Action hybrids everywhere. By far my favorite Genesis game.

I was more of a NES guy but here are a few that spring to mind (in some sort of order):
Fantastic Dizzy (A must play)
Sonic 2
Road Rash 2 (I wasted years playing this)
Beavis and Butthead
Aladdin
Earthworm Jim
Cool Spot


A few other games that are worth checking out:
ECCO - The Tides of Time
Mick & Mack as the Global Gladiators (it might be a McDonalds game, but it still kicks ass)
James Pond (1 and 2)
Combat Cars
Zool
T2 - The Arcade Game

Has nobody played Toejam and Earl? Someone's gotta find a way to play this two player!

Along with Toejam,

Castle of Illusion
Gunstar Heroes
Revenge of Shinobi
all the Sega arcade ports.

NHL '94 h34r:

I got so good at that game playing against a buddy that he eventually just gave up. I was the king of the wrap around.

In our no goalie games I would regularly get the scoreboard into letters and punctuation marks. I don't remember it ever turning over, but maybe that's just me.

 

[garteth]

Sonic the hedgehog 1
Altered Beast
Sonic 2
Kings Bounty
Shining force 2
FIFA games
Streets of rage 2
Any of the GoldenAxe games



That's all I can think of at the moment, i'm sure there's lots more

 

[CoinOp]

Jeeze, no one mentioned Pirates! Gold or Dynamite Headdy!
The horror! The horror of it! Those two alone can take up
a significant portion of ones life! Really, I'll take those two
over 50 Sega beat em' ups.

[timthepig]

Scooby Doo (Its a Monkey Island type game - with 2 adventures included recommended unknown gem)<----
Shining Force 1/2
Landstalker
Toejam and Earl
Psycho Pinball

I would mention Flashback - but of course we have hat other emulator thingy.

 

[matt goode]

YEs, i love toejam and earl! and earthhworm jim, flashback of course too, but i had that on floppy disks for amiga

 

[Draken]

Great news this is released, and I heard even Landstalker is working?

 

[trooper]

Thunderforce IV
Sonic 2
Thunderforce III
Mega-SWIV
Fantastic Dizzy (Takes me back to the spectrum days )
Ghouls N Ghosts
Legend of Toki
Mega Turrican
Wiz N Liz

Trooper

 

[Willei]

Nobody has mentioned Twin Cobra, that's a fantastic game!

Here's a big high-five ( o/\o ) to all the Thunder Force fans, personally I prefer III to IV. As much of a Street Fighter fanboy that I am, I just can't bring myself to play the nasty Mega Drive version, no matter how well it's emulated.

 

[Jurrasic]

Finally someone mentioned Earthworm Jim, that was one of the first REALLY good platformers for the 16-bit consoles that didn't star a fat plumber.

I also have to vote for Shining Force I and II, Herzog Zwei, Space Harrier II and Shadow Warrior.

 

[Ryuuzaki]
