Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic 2
Sonic 3
Sonic & Knuckles
Ristar
Golden Axe
Golden Axe II
Streets of Rage
Streets of Rage II
Streets of Rage III
Phantasy Star II
Phantasy Star IV
Shadow Dancer
Shinobi III
Shining in the Darkness
Shining Force
Shining Force II
Ghouls 'n Ghosts
Gunstar Heroes
Ecco the Dolphin
Ecco II
Beyond Oasis
Landstalker
Herzog Zwei
Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse
Comix Zone

And then add the Sega CD to the equation and you get:

Lunar: The Silver Star

LandStalker.

I came in late to the Genesis generation (we had a SNES in our house), and I was always so jealous of my friends who owned "the mature" console.

ALADDIN

The Disney games RULED.

Ichirou · « **Reply #4 on:** October 24, 2007, 11:53:39 PM »

Oh, yeah, I forgot about Aladdin. The Fantasia game was good too. I never played the Beauty & the Beast games 'cuz I was too embarassed, tho. But there was a really good Donald Duck game - Quackshot! HELL YEAH!!!

Himu · « **Reply #5 on:** October 24, 2007, 11:56:38 PM »

You're forgetting FLASHBACK and Out of this World, dude! Castlevania: Bloodlines! ARROW FLASH! Lightening Force! Zero Wing! After Burner! Outrun!! Space Harrier! Vector Man! Shadowrun!

OMG OMG OMG FLASHBACK

I remember an issue of Gamepro came with a shitty Flashback comic book but it got me SO excited for the game.

VECTOR MAN!!!!!

I mean, wow, people talk about Donkey Kong Country, but Vector Man looked just as good and played BETTER.

And the Genesis X-Men game was BETTER than the SNES one...it even had this awesome gimmick at the end where you had to reset the console to be able to finish the game (which made it unfinishable on the Nomad, which had no reset button)!!!!

Himu · « **Reply #7 on:** October 25, 2007, 12:01:42 AM »

have you played out of this world??

Another Genny game better than the snes one: JURASSIC PARK. I GOT TO PLAY AS A RAPTOR

Ichirou · « **Reply #8 on:** October 25, 2007, 12:03:02 AM »

Only on computer, I didn't know it came out on the Genesis.

Ichirou · « **Reply #9 on:** October 25, 2007, 12:04:07 AM »

THE SEQUEL CAME OUT ON SEGA CD!!!

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THERE WAS A SEQUEL!!!

OMG

Himu · « **Reply #10 on:** October 25, 2007, 12:06:27 AM »

You don't need a Sega CD. I think Sega CD emulation has been perfected, so all you need to do are get the game CDs (they can probably be found on eBay) and you can play them on your PC.

EDIT: FUCK I FORGOT SONIC CD
ONE OF THE BEST SONIC GAMES EVER

Why are you jizzing over Heart of the Alien?

Quick fact sheet:

a) Out of this World sucked
b) Heart of the Alien was worse
c) Heart of Darkness is better

Ichirou · « **Reply #15 on:** October 25, 2007, 12:27:25 AM »

I never played Heart of the Alien or Heart of Darkness. Until a few moments ago, I didn't even know Heart of the Alien existed.

which console had the best version of Flashback?

and great thread dudes, I can respect anybody with a proper appreciation of the Adventure/Platform genre.

Himu · « **Reply #22 on:** October 25, 2007, 12:52:05 AM »

Haha. SNES version of Aladdin sucked!

Bloodwake · « **Reply #23 on:** October 25, 2007, 12:57:16 AM »

I never owned a Genesis or it's attachments.

Yes, I realize I made a mistake. But for some reason while I was growing up my dad was an ignorant N-tard (read tech magazines and decided to buy me an SNES)

That's okay. SNES had CHRONO TRIGGER.

Genesis was the fucking KING. Such a great game machine....and the Sega CD had some truly amazing titles, even if on the whole it didn't take off like Sega hoped.

A Genesis thread and nobody mentions Ranger-X or Thunderforce 2-4 yet??? Genesis is my second favorite system of all time.

That Sailor Moon game? Gawd, I remember downloading the ROM and playing that on an emu. Good times.

Probably the smartest decision SEGA's ever made.

Himu · « **Reply #39 on:** October 26, 2007, 02:47:57 PM »

I always wanted Sega Channel but I never got it.

It was really one of the best gaming ideas ever. Sega was so ahead of time.
