I have 900 points left and I would like to spend it on another Genesis or Mega Drive VC game. Here are the games I have now. Sonic 1 Sonic 2 Sonic 3 Sonic Spinball Sonic 3D Blast Mean Bean Machine Beyond Oasis Landstalker Ristar Vectorman Columns Gunstar Heroes Earthworm Jim
So I'm not sure what Genesis or Mega Drive game I want next.
Secondly, I think it really depends on what kind of games you like. Other than that I would recommend Mega Turrican, Gley Lanser, Dynamite Heady and Shinobi III. Yeah, sort of a mixed genre bag there but you can tell I have an affinity for platforming elements in my games.
My favorites for Genesis are Streets of Rage 2(1 & 3 are also good though) and Shinobi III, but I would definately go with the Genesis Collection for PS2, PS3, or 360 if you have one of those systems. You would get a lot more games for your buck.
Streets of Rage II is pretty decent (I have Bareknuckle II on the Japanese system, same game different language); the arcade ports of Crack Down and Bonanza Bros. are also excellent.
I was almost considering Street Fighter II Special Champion Edition. But since I already have the Turbo version for the SNES on VC, it would be a waste of $8.
@Ricardo91: I do like RPGs. Are you sure it's OK to skip 2 and 3?
Oh yes, definitely. The stories between the games aren't related in any way whatsoever. PS II has a ridiculously high difficulty level. It requires hours of grinding in order to progress, items are too expensive, and I usually can't last more than 10 seconds in the first dungeon. It also has barely-better-than master-system-quality graphics. On the other end, PS III is so mind-numbingly boring, you'll fall asleep while playing it. PS IV has the same combat system as II, but it's much more polished and faster-paced, the story moves along better, and the graphics are LEAGUES better.
Though if you have a PS3 or Xbox 360, you can try them all out on the Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection. You'll save a lot of money with that.
@Sean Aaron: Doesn't Bareknuckle II have a different boss character in it? A flamboyantly gay one I think.
That's Bare Knuckle 3. The only difference between Bare Knuckle 2 and Streets of Rage 2 is MR X is smoking a cigar at the end in Bare Knuckle. Bare Knuckle 3, though, is much better than Streets of Rage 3 - I imported the Japanese Sonic Gems Collection so have them all on there, which is good as I don't think I could play Streets of Rage 3 any more (there's a lot more changes than the removal of the flambloyantly gay character in it).

Interesting, I had no clue. Mainly I just wanted a beat 'em up and I didn't want to play a version of Final Fight with only two character choices (hopefully we'll get the real deal on the VCA someday) so this seemed like a good choice based upon reviews. Graphically not as nice as Final Fight, but I got what I wanted.
