Sega Genesis - what are the best games?[views:9438][posts:84]_____________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 1:01pm - tobias boon ""] Hey, I just got a used Sega Genesis and I'm fucking psyched. What are some games you all recommend I pick up? The dude who sold it to me also gave me Sonic 1 and Madden '94, so those will keep me busy for a little while, but I want to get many more. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 1:02pm - tobias boon ""] Some other ones I already know I plan on buying are Street Fighter II, all 3 Mortal Kombat games, Altered Beast, Gunstar Heroes.. so don't bother recommending those because I'm already getting them. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 1,2007 1:26pm - sever ""] Vectorman! |
| _________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 1:29pm - mortalis ""] sever said:Vectorman! truth |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 1:41pm - tobias boon ""] YES I loved Vectorman. Def. gonna find that one. Was Vectorman 2 any good? Never played that one. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 1,2007 1:50pm - sever ""] it was okay. nothing special. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 2:06pm - Y_Ddraig_Goch ""] Gunstar heroes is the best shooter...ever other than that, primal rage, streets of rage, paper boy, golden ax... |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 3:35pm - i_am_lazy ""] Decap Attack, Slaughter Sport, all the Golden Axe games, Mega Bomberman, Sonic & Knuckles, all the Shinobi games Were I at my house I'd be able to forage through my minicollection and recommend more, but I'm drawing a blank. |

| ________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 4:25pm - c.dead ""] Sunset Riders and The Avengers. If you can find those, prepare for total rulage. Also, Kinslayer can totally back me on this...... FUCKING GENERAL CHAOS!!!!!!! |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 4:29pm - Kinslayer ""] GENERAL CHAOS!! 2 player is the shit. Altered Beast Sword of Vermillion (thanks Jim!) Evander Holyfield MERCS NHL (all EA games) Road Rash (all) Streets of Rage Golden Axe (I+II) Pirates GOLD Toejam and Earl tons of others... |
| ________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 4:31pm - c.dead ""] You should play Golden Axe 3. It only came out in Japan, but i found a emulator for it. You can be this fucing Blue Minotaur looking guy, totally awesome. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 4:58pm - Kinslayer ""] I want that! What's your gay ass doing tonight? |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 5:00pm - NuclearWinter ""] Wacking magic potions out of gnomes is probably the most fun I've ever had playing a video game. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 6:00pm - cav nli ""] theres a hardcore band from new bedford called streets of rage 2. cus 2 is better than 1 hahaha. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 8:56pm - Lamp nli ""] All Sonic games, this shouldn't have to be stated explicitly |
| ________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 10:49pm - Ryan_M ""] Sonic the Hedgehog was probably the only game I really liked playing on Sega when I was little. We had a few others, mostly ones based on movies: The Lion King, Toy Story, Pagemaster (that old Macauly Culkin animated movie with the books), Batman Forever.....maybe a couple more. We didn't have games like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, I was no good at them; I could never figure out how to do any special attacks. I'd figure out how to punch and kick and just use those, and end up getting killed! |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 1,2007 11:19pm - xanonymousx ""] thats cause on sega there were only three buttons, unless you bought the six button controller. |
| ______________________________________________ [Dec 2,2007 12:56pm - Chris_From_Shit_Fuck ""] it's a little bit harder to find, but if you can find it pick up Comic Zone. It's awesome. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 2,2007 2:58pm - anonymouse ""] Gunstar Heroes |

| _______________________________________ [Dec 3,2007 8:43am - This_Is_Heresy ""] I happy somebody finally remembered the Splatterhouse games. They made Mortal Kombat look like Disney games. Good fuckin times. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 3,2007 9:06am - aril ""] Hey, not a problem andrew. Sword of Vermillion is awesome... and it's classic genesis. Beyond Oasis Light Crusader - check it out people, great game. Crusader of Centy - a little kidsy at times, but one of my favorite Zelda clones for Genesis (and the music is awesome) Shining Force 1 & 2 (1 is much better!) Shining in the Darkness Sonic 1 - Knuckles Vectorman 1 Toejam & Earl (classic 2 player) Golden Axe 1-3 Streets of Rage NBA Jam TE Edition EA Sports games NFL Quarterback club '94 Comix Zone - AWESOME GAME! underrated too Boogerman - AWESOME GAME! Earthworm Jim 1 & 2 Jarrasic Park (dark game) +many others I can't think of at the moment |

Xmen Games MK II Primal Rage ClayFighter Streets of Rage II Sonic Spinball RC Rally MicroMachines Desert Strike Urban Strike Afterburner +more |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 3,2007 11:07am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Amazing Spiderman vs. The Kingpin Castlevania: Bloodlines is supposed to be good. Contra: Hard Corps Cool Spot Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun Dune: The Battle for Arrakis (precursor to Command & Conquer, and a port of one of the first modern RTS games) Ecco the Dolphin (duh) Eternal Champions (best Genesis fighter, period) The Immortal (get ready to be fucking frustrated) Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (rescue those kids, Michael!) Primal Rage (dinosaur fighting game - wheeeeee!) Richard Scarry's Busytown (exceedingly steep learning curve; n00bz beware) Rolling Thunder 2/3 Shadowrun Universal Soldier (basically just Turrican with a movie license) X-Men X-Men 2: Clone Wars and IS THIS BATTLETOADS? |
| _______________________________ [Dec 3,2007 11:16am - aril ""] haha Ecco the Dolphin was so boring. Graphics were good, but so boring. Music put me to sleep too. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 3,2007 11:19am - c.dead ""] aril said:haha Ecco the Dolphin was so boring. Graphics were good, but so boring. Music put me to sleep too. hAHA, that game was such shit. Who the fuck would want to play a game when you are a fucking dolphin?!? |

| ______________________________ [Dec 3,2007 2:29pm - aril ""] Oh. How could I forget about the Phantasy Star series. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 3,2007 3:25pm - Kinslayer ""] Yeah, Jurrasic Park did kick ass! |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 3,2007 3:29pm - tobias boon ""] Thanks for all the recommendations dudes. I'm downloading a bunch of these as ROMs before I buy the actual cartridges but everything I've played so far has ruled. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 3,2007 4:08pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] aril said:Oh. How could I forget about the Phantasy Star series. Never really a fan, to tell you the truth. More of a Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior)/Final Fantasy guy, as far as old-school console RPGs. Maybe some Ultima here and there. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 3,2007 4:10pm - xanonymousx ""] hey you may like mortal kombat ii |
| ______________________________ [Dec 3,2007 4:22pm - aril ""] Understanibly so; the Phantasy Star games have a completely different feel. I hope you've checked out the Shining Force games?? |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 4,2007 10:10am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Nope. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 4,2007 10:46am - aril ""] Check them out asap.. specifically the first one. Tactical Battle RPG. Predecessor to Ogre Tactics for SNES and Tactics Ogre. Similar to FFT, but better I think. |

| ________________________________ [Dec 4,2007 12:41pm - xmikex ""] General Chaos was the shit. I know games grew up, and we got awesome battle games like Command & Conquer out of it, but I still wish there was a 2007 version of GC somewhere. |
