Best Genesis games?
« on: November 21, 2007, 04:26:09 PM »
I was never really a big fan of the Genesis, or a fan at all actually, my game collection for it was the smallest out of the consoles I've ever owned. Anyway, even with emulation I've never given it much of a chance, I'm thinking about doing so now via my DS and jEnesisDS. I'd just like a list of what to get and what to avoid.

Unfortunately, the entire collection of every Genesis game I've ever played is short:

Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 & Knuckles
Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles
Sonic & Knuckles
Sonic Spinball

I never owned a Genesis, so every game I played on the console were the ones that King Lettuce owned before he sold the thing.

Yeah, the Sonic games were pretty much all I owned too, I had a few other games but I can't even remember what they were anymore.

Robocop VS. The Terminator is one of my all time favorites for the system. Completely different compared to the SNES version. Land Stalker is good as well, along with Gunstar Heroes.

And you must play Streets of Rage 2. One of the best beat 'em ups of all time.

I played a bit of PS2, wasn't my type of RPG, too much level griding. Is PS4 better in that regard?

Anything with Sonic in the title

That's all I can think of at the moment.

PS3 was fun, but eh.. not exciting at all though.

Okay, that's enough suggestions for now, I haven't even finished downloading half the ones listed in I.S.T.'s post. I'll give some very short reviews of what I've played so far:

Altered Beast: Only played for a few minutes, didn't really like it.
Castlevania Bloodlines: Already played this one before, not my favorite CV but a good one.
Comix Zone: I'm really enjoying this one but it doesn't run too good in jEnesisDS, I think I'll play through it in Fusion.
Contra Hard Corps: Seems better than any of the other Contras I've played but I suck at it just as bad. :sad:
Cool Spot: One of my friends rented this when it first came out and we really liked it, I'm not seeing the appeal now.
Golden Axe: Not nearly as good as I remember.
Rocket Knight Adventures: This is one of the ones I owned and forgot about it. I used to be pretty good at it, not so much now, need to practice.
Streets of Rage: I'm not usually a fan of this genre but this one seems good, I'm going to keep playing it.
Vectorman: This one's good, I unlocked it in Sonic Gems Collection.
Vectorman 2: Ditto.

Man, Comix Zone is hard. Harder than Contra: Hard Corps, IMO.

Of course, I never even bothered to beat Contra without cheats, so I could be wrong...

Streets of Rage 2 is infinitely better than SOR1. It's just got better game balance, graphics, music, etc. In almost every single way it is superior.
