YAAAAAASSSS, [*high five*], and also the Persona games (since Atlus are, presently, a SEGA subsidiary).Chimpzy said:
What SEGA games do you appreciate outside Sonic? (and why)
- Thread starter dscross
- Start date
It hurts me to say this, but Sega (The Japanese Division, not the US/EU) hate the Streets of Rage series, which is why we will never see another one again. Just like how the Japanese execs hated Comix Zone. Though at least we have the Remake, which is better than anything modern Sega can come up with nowadays.votemarvel said:
There were many Sega games I cared about outside of the blue hedgehog.
Streets of Rage series
Shinobi - specifically Revenge and III. AKA The Super Shinobi. I never liked the PS2 reboot.
Golden Axe
Gunstar Heroes and Super Heroes (developed by Treasure)
Comix Zone
Vectorman
Guardian Heroes (developed by Treasure)
Dynamite Headdy (developed by Treasure)
Dynamite Cop
Crazy Taxi
Virtua Cop
Virtua Fighter
Yakuza
House of the Dead
Bayonetta, Mad World, and Vanquish (developed by Platinum)
Even though 2 is the best gameplay wise, 1 has the best ost out of the trilogy.dscross said:
They did not make Earthworm Jim. Shiny Entertainment was the developer and Playmate/Virgin Interactive were the publishers. EJ was on Saturn, Genesis, and Sega CD, but multiple consoles in general and PC.B-Cell said:
The only game I can think of ever playing that had Sega's name on the box and wasn't Sonic was Chomehounds. I loved that game, even though I never got the chance to play the multiplayer due to them shutting down the servers a week or two before I was able to activate my Xbox Live account. I just found it to be a really good mech game and wish that there had been more to do with it outside of the campaign missions even without the multiplayer servers.
Sega owned or published games that I liked a lot:
Dragon Force
Gunstar Heroes
Guardian Heroes
Panzer Dragoon series
Virtual-On
Rez
Sega Rally Championship
Vectorman
Nights Into Dreams
Shining Force 2
So many good times with those games. I admit that owning a Saturn instead of a Playstation was kind of rough, but gems like Guardian Heroes, Virtual-On, Nights, and Panzer Dragoon almost made it worth it. Also, Sega Rally was just awesome in the pre-Gran Turismo days.

Yet Streets of Rage 2 has the best track of them in The Baseball Arena.CoCage said:
The MegaDrive could produce some awesome sounds.
Indeed, the Sega Genesis could. I am assuming you're from Europe or Japan, since you called it the Mega Drive. For me personally, Dreamer (amusement park) was the best song in Streets of Rage 2.votemarvel said:
Wasn't there one where you fight robots? Front Mission or something? I don't even know if it was SEGA, but it was good.
Shining Force series was the best console RPG ever.
Oh yeah, and Golden Axe.

Initial D Arcade Stage.
We have a Ver.2 machine where I work, and I'm always trying to get a game in at least once a week after i'm done for the day. I'm not usually into driving... overall, but this game has piqued my interest. I really wish we got more games in english, apart from the first 3 Arcade stages. (and a PC game I won't speak of, and wasn't even made by SEGA)

Everyone keeps talking about Obisidan being great at story telling and choices. Alpha Protocol is the only game where they managed this. Puts F:NV to shame. You can actually play a bad guy! And it can be beneficial! (Just ignore the gameplay because its... jank)KingsGambit said:
Skitchin, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Road Rash, Alex Kidd in Mircale World and Alien Storm were all good as people said
The new one I'd add is Wonderboy on MS
I still like 2D Sonic over Mario. 3D Sonic can jump in a lakeB-Cell said:
I'm from the UK, so it'll always be the MegaDrive for me. So many great memories of the console.CoCage said:
Oh SEGA...sometimes I miss that SEEEEGAAAA start up sound on my Mega Drive and Saturn. Anyway...
Shining Force and Phantasy Star were definitely the highlights for me...and throw in Shinobi and Altered Beast in there as well. Virtua Fighter was quite fun too, and a different kind of fighter after spending way too much time on SSFII Turbo. But Phantasy Star will always be the highlight for me as it was absurdly difficult for me but man, loved beating it. Kind of how I feel towards Lunar, actually.
Edit: turns out Alex Kidd was actually from SEGA too, so throw that in there as well, enjoyed playing that as a kid ( that kid loved platformers....I wonder what happened to him...)

Alex was the mascot pre Sonic. I always used to get annoyed with the rock paper scissors thing on the Mega Drive game. You could die at the end of a level and it was pretty much down to chance. Annoying. The game was fun though.ghalleon0915 said:
Shining Soul 2 because it was honestly, and this'll sound like I'm fucking with you, one of the first 'RPG' games that I ever bothered to play (I was pretty much only into platform games or the like back then) and dear God I cannot even count the amount of time I must have sunk into that thing.
I don't get the reference ... I don't remember that... am I just being thick with a shit memory ... explain? I remember in both the Enchanted Castle and Miracle World you had to have a game of rock paper scissors with the bosses.Hawki said:
Peh, some Sega fan you turned out to be.dscross said:
But to explain, it's me being snarky. Alex does play rps, but the actual sound effect when he does is "thumpkin bump" (or something), rather than actually saying "scissors, paper, rock."
Ah I see. As much as i quite liked the Alex Kidd games as a child, I can't say it's one I played a lot of compared to others. Not enough to remember sound effects anyway.Hawki said:Peh, some Sega fan you turned out to be.dscross said:
