Recommend some Genesis games

[Birdman1604]

I recently picked up a sega genesis for cheap and I'd like to find out what I was missing during my Nintendo dominated childhood. All I really have in mind is finding a copy of battletoads (I think I played it at a friends place once) so I could use some more titles for a shopping list.

the original Mortal Kombat

captain america and the avengers

best action game ever (also co op!!!!!)

 

[undyingdh777]

Sonic The Hedgehog (as well as 2, 3, &Knuckles) also, Ecco the Dolhpin, and if you can find the 7up Cool Spot game, GO FOR IT

 

[Rauten]

Comix Zone, Gunstar Heroes.

That is all, gentlemen.

 

[Infinatex]

COLUMNS!!!!! I played that for about 2 hours straight the other night. Got up to Level 150 something.

Well, I had a Sega Genesis, but I was really in a Nintendo-dominated home. The only games I ever had for the Genesis were Sonic 2 & 3, but they were a blast, and the only Sega-exclusive titles that seem worth it.

 

[BourneGamer]

I have to agree with Rauten, Comix Zone is a must.

If you get nothing else, be sure to pick up Ristar. Also, all of the Sonic games are good (1, 2, 3, & Knuckles, Spinball, 3D Blast...). And Ecco the Dolphin rocks.

Oh, and Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition, that one's pretty cool (and better than the first one). Also, Streets of Rage 2. And Cool Spot is worth a look. Same with Aladdin.

Dynamite Heady. It's DY-NO-MYTE!! *Is shot*

And this. Dear god, this.

General Chaos.
One of my favorite games as a child.

 

[Puregrrr]

Toejam & Earl. It is a very strange game and the pacing is a bit slow. However, it was one of my favorites.

Dynamite Heady. It's DY-NO-MYTE!! *Is shot*

WORLDS! of this

 

[Audemas]

Toejam & Earl is must get and Vectorman was pretty good too.

 

[darktheif28]

Golden Axe, the Sonic's, Dynamite Heady, Shadowrun, and Streets of Rage are must have genesis games.

 

[Volafortis]

Shining Force 1 & 2, both are excellent turn based RPGs.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

I enjoyed me some Boogerman in my time with the Genesis.

 

[The Rascal King]

Shining Force! I loved that game to death! I'm not one to like wrestling games, but WWF Royal Rumble is also worth mentioning.

 

[Starke]

Shadowrun. The Genesis version was so damn good.
