Genesis Games

[Tex Ritter]

I just bought a Genesis for 14 dollars, I thought it was a good enough deal, and I need some suggestions.

I have the following:
Sonic
Sonic 2
Vectorman 2
Golden Axe
Streets of Rage
Columns

What are some essentials I am missing? (besides Gunstar Heroes)

Re: Genesis Games

Phantasy Star I, II, IV
Altered Beast
General Chaos
Toe Jam and Earl
Road Rash

Personally, I like Pirates! Gold. Not sure how much other people like it, though.

Re: Genesis Games

Phantasy Star II/III/IV
Ecco the Dolphin
Any Shinobi games
...Bubsy?

Re: Genesis Games

Phantasy Star I, II, IV

PS1 was on Master Sytem, though, wasn't it?

Anyway, I would also recommend Phantasy Star IV, as well as Sonic & Knuckles.

Castlevania: Bloodlines
Sword of Vermilion
Valis
Valis III
Gaiares
Lightening Force
Steel Empire

And if you can find it..... Crusader of Centy.

Re: Genesis Games

I've seen that one (RKA) all the time at the store near here. Now that I see someone recommended it, I might go ahead and get it. That would put my Genesis games count at 4.

Re: Genesis Games

Forgotten Worlds, maybe? It's decent, anyway. How about Shining Force? Kid Chameleon?

Re: Genesis Games

Seriously, Rocket Knight is AMAZING. It has some of the best 2D level design ever seen to this date.

Re: Genesis Games

After I started collecting video game systems (odd, I know) in the beginning of the year, I found out something very important. The genesis doesnt have a lot going for it. There are a few gems, but almost everything available for the system is crap.

Re: Genesis Games

Wait, you have Sonic and Sonic 2, but you don't have Sonic 3 or Sonic & Knuckles?

GET ON THAT!

Re: Genesis Games

I remember the good old console wars between the Genesis and the Super NES.

Oh man, that had to be the ugliest battle between Sega and Nintendo I've ever seen in my lifetime.

I will say one thing though--the Genesis had some really badass shooters.

Re: Genesis Games

I remember having to choose between getting a SNES or a Genesis. I had played both and the SNES seemed to be the better option. I remember asking my Dad for it as a collective x-mas present for me and my siblings. I actually had to lobby for the SNES. He had purchased a NES a few years back, and I remember him saying "This is the last system I'll ever buy for you, right?!" My answer was a resounding "YES!"

We have both now, but I play the SNES a lot more than the Genesis.

Re: Genesis Games

I was happy with my Genesis.
