Comix Zone on my Genesis.

An awesome game.

Genesis on the whole didn't do it for me due to the lack of color on screen and that shit sound chip, but it did have a handful of honestly fantastic games.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on January 09, 2007, 04:51:14 PM: Ghouls and Ghosts on the Genny. It's actually a terrible port from the arcade, but OMG OMG OMG nonetheless.

For 1989-90, that was pretty amazing graphics. My friend had this game, Altered Beast and Montana's Football for his Genesis. I picked one up for Christmas of the same year.

Post by: Itch on January 10, 2007, 06:23:52 AM: I haven't been blown away by any 16-bit games but I'm still surprised how much further ahead Super Metroid was beyond the rest of the 16-bit offerings in both concept and execution. Amazing game that makes me wonder why people put up with shit like Metroid Prime.

Post by: trippingmartian on January 10, 2007, 10:49:52 AM: Probably playing Final Fight on the SNES. It's hard to pick just one, though. It was a great era for gaming.

Post by: hyp on January 10, 2007, 12:48:10 PM: for me it was seeing altered beast for the first time at "good guys". i had to do a double take to make sure there wasn't an arcade cabinet around, it looked so fucking amazing. and sonic of course. =] i would've said super mario world but that came later.
