My faves in no order were (probably not a mainstream viewpoint):

Vectorman
Zoop
Comix Zone
Mercs
Golden Axe
Road Rash
Revenge of Shinobi
Sonic series
Ecco series
Ballz
Street Fighter 2 SCE
Shining Force
Streets of Rage 2
NHLPA 93 Hockey

I remember alot of lousy games. These ones kept me coming back though. I'm still trying to figure out how to play Madden 94 decently.

Comix Zone was/is great.

It actually gets A LOT of play on my arcade cab. Being that is the primary place I have played it, I completely forgot it was a genesis game. lol

Aleluia!

A thread in wich i can participate! :)

I'm currently playing a genesis game called King's Bounty wich isn't very good graphically but it's very adictive because it's a old-school strategy game. I think you guys should try it on really. It's Warcrafts grandfather. :D

I used to play King's Bounty all the time on my old 286 PC. I never even knew it was on Genesis.

Gotta love the days way back when.


SNES and Genesis were truly a golden age in gaming. Games could still be put together by a small number of people, so there were more seperate pools of creativity, offering up more great games.

Now games require sooooooo much money and manpower. Now all those small pools of creativity are grouped together in massive groups, all making one game instead of 50. We still get the great games, but it sure won't be as overwhelming a number as is rushing through my head right now about the Genesis. :)

Before internet I used to call the Sega Hot Line and ask for codes when I couldn't get passed a part or when I just wanted to cheat....what a loser.

Some other games mentioned I forgot about

Alladin
Mickey Mania
Ecco The Dolphin (hard as hell though)
Super Monaco GP

EDIT: Toe Jam & Earl (the first one, not 2), this game kicks ass.

^^ Oh yeah, forgot about Toejam and Earl.

Did you ever go into the 'sound test' in the options area? That was the best, you could just play all the sound files. "Toejam!!" "Biiiggg Earl!"

Hell yeah..  I always tried to re-do the beats in the game!, and usually came pretty close w/ the 6 button, but the response time wasn't always good enough to get the quick bass drum beats in.

Well, scrolling down the list I saw very little mention of the Sonic series!  There is a few like minded individuals, but not enough!   ;D

LONG LIVE SONIC!  What was that?

No, I was never a fanboy!

Nintendo?! 

---display unending love for my bottom---!  Sonic rocks, Mario blows!

(damn those voices in my head, will the playground never let me alone!?!)
Well I say let's get out there and TW*T it!

One of the games I played most often was Bill Walsh's College Football ( I think thats what it was called)

I don't even like football games now, but man I used to love that one.

The game came with card that had the stats of all the players. One day I found the player with the highest speed stat. So I always played with that team. He was the defensive end for pitt. (I think) I would get so many sacks with him, and then whenever they would punt I'd line up in normal defense and send him back to return, I ran a few back with him because of that.

Good times. Good times.
