Topic: Your favorite Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game(s)?

or you can make a top list, I don't care XD here's my top 10 with one game per franchise

1) Sonic 3 & Knuckles
2) Gunstar Heroes
3) Dynamite Headdy
4) Rocket Knight Adventures
5) Ristar
6) Pulseman
7) Contra Hard Corps
8) Vectorman
9) Streets of Rage 2
10) Comix Zone

I know the favorite games threads have been done to death, but I never saw any recent threads regarding Genesis games so yeah

This isn't my favorite Genesis game (that would go to Shining Force), but Zero Tolerance is completely awesome and more people need to play it. It definitely shows it's age, but it is still fun to play today

I remember seeing a couple videos of that game, it looks impressive knowing that the Genesis normally cannot do scaling and rotation like the SNES easily could

I loved this game growing up along with Mutant League Football

this thread reminds me that I need to play more Genesis games. At least half of the ones I played are just Sonic Mega Collection.

MEGA TURRICAN
The best Turrican ever. (It's like Contra meets Metal Slug and Aliens.)

1. Sonic 3 & Knuckles
2. Rocket Knight Adventures
3. Sonic 2
4. Vector Man
5. Castlevania: Bloodlines
6. Contra: Hard Corps
7. Streets of Rage 2
8. World of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse and Donard Duck
9. Ranger X
10. Strider
11. Lightning Force
12. Shining Force

Sega CD:

1. Lunar
2. Popful Mail
3. Vay

Vay and Lunar are both games I need ASAP for my SEGA CD. (Good suggestions there!)

TBH, Vay isn't all that special, hence why it's on the bottom, but it is a good game if you can find it for a good price. Lunar is definitely a must-buy, though.

I'll make a mental note about Vay. You could make an argument that Lunar is the best SEGA CD game out there.

Have you ever played Dark Wizard?

Yes. I had no clue what I was doing, though. I watched a video of someone who knew what they were doing, though. It looks really good. If you get it, make sure you get it with a manual if you can.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2

We were an SNES family (well, we had a Genesis, but for some odd reason I never seemed to notice it, although my dad played a baseball & football all the time on it).

Although, I spent the night at my cousin's house every weekend back then, and they had a Genesis, so that's where I got my Sonic fix (although there were other games we played as well, such as Primal Rage, The Lion King, Sonic & Knuckles, Mortal Kombat, and Home Alone).

I've had the game since 1994. I almost beat it too back then. Got to the last board. But that final boss is a doooooozy. I've got the instruction manual. I read it a looooooong time ago. But the game's mechanics weren't too hard to figure out. It's a Strat RPG - nothing more to it really. I'm not even a Strat RPG fan but I like Dark Wizard a LOT!!!!

You say that as if all Strategy RPGs play the same. Which they most definitely don't. When was the last time you had to summon allies in a Strategy RPG? That would've helped me out if I knew that when I played it years ago.

Sonic 3 &Knuckles and.... nothing....

Ah, that's a good point. Yeah - that was pretty helpful.

THe place I usually get my SEGA CD games recently burned to the ground. Pretty sad story actually. I bet I could have gotten Lunar there. Oh well....I'll go online one day if I feel so moved. Haha.

I WANNA PLAY THAT GAME SO BADLY!!!!!!!!!!! I would love to play Lightening Force too

The Genesis was possibly my favorite system ever and these list are just always too hard to come up with.

oh yeah I understand, so many great games! it's my favorite non-Nintendo console, as well

Shining Force II is my favourite Sega/Camelot game ever.
