Eclipse Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 I downloaded a Sega Genesis emulator. I never really played any Sega games. I always thought that Sega versions of shared SNES games (like the Mortal Kombat series) were cheap. Like, I played MK3 on it, and man, the sound and the game looks CRAPPY. Well, the only games I played alot of on Genesis was mostly the Sonic series, but there has to be some other great series. What games do you guys recommend?
razazteca Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 You need: Gunstar Heroes Golden Axe Streets of Rage Vectorman Earthworm Jim Snow Brothers Rainbow Island Zombies Ate My Neighbors Wonderboy Thunder Force Strider Splatter House
devo Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 Gunstar Heroes Eternal Champions Rocket Knight Adventures Shining Force II That's the best games I can think of at the moment. There's tons more, though.
The Amazing Rando Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 Streets of Rage 2 I used to play NBA Jam TE just obsessively. It's the only game I have ever gambled with.
AndrewTS Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 Missing... Beyond Oasis aka The Story of Thor Ranger X Ristar Castlevania Bloodlines Toejam and Earl 2 Shinobi 3 (some would say Revenge of Shinobi as well, hasn't held up for me) Dynamite Headdy Landstalker Ecco 1 and 2 Mega Turrican Phantasy Star IV Eternal Champions WTF? raza deserves mad props for bringing the obscurity. There's a few there even I haven't heard of.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 Aladdin. Lion King is acceptable.
AndrewTS Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 Aladdin's a pretty decent game that was overhyped because of the graphics. Still fun, though. During 16-bit days it seems like you'd get the odd *good* licensed game more often, because you'd often get folks like Capcom or Konami making it. EWJ is better on the Sega version, but the best version is the SCD/Special Edition. The PC CD version is the SE version, which works well even on Windows XP, although you have to mess around with the display colors to get it working right.
Eclipse Posted October 14, 2005 Author Report Posted October 14, 2005 I liked Aladdin on the SNES alot. I had no clue there was a Sega version.
Guest ABOBO Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 Did any of those great Mickie Mouse platformers ever make it to Genesis?
AndrewTS Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 SNES version was made by Capcom. Completely different game. Good, but Genesis one was more enjoyable. The SNES game is available on GBA. Lion King was was the same game on both systems. Beavis & Butthead Well, if Anya hadn't already sharked the thread... SNES version was the better *game*, but for capturing the spirit of the show and being unique, the Genesis version comes on top. A B&B game designed like a PC Adventure game...who'd have thunk it? I had the Game Gear version. It was a boring, crap platformer, but without all the traits that made the SNES one fun. SNES had Chicken Fights, neat boss fights, and BUTT FIGHTER!!
razazteca Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 Did any of those great Mickie Mouse platformers ever make it to Genesis? <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Anya Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 EWJ and Genesis Aladin. Two really good platformers. Remembr when Dave Perry & Shiny were the next big thing? I remember in like every other version of Gamefan and Next Gen Perry would have an interview and show off his car.
AndrewTS Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 Did any of those great Mickie Mouse platformers ever make it to Genesis? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes <{POST_SNAPBACK}> World of Illusion and Castle of Illusion, anyone? World is better, but it loses something without coop, though. Mickey Mania was *the* Mickey Mouse game, though. Fantasia blew. The Magical Quests were totally different animals, of course.
AndrewTS Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 EWJ and Genesis Aladin. Two really good platformers. Remembr when Dave Perry & Shiny were the next big thing? I remember in like every other version of Gamefan and Next Gen Perry would have an interview and show off his car. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They sold off their cash cow, changed their name, put out some games that were financial duds (Skullmonkeys, Wild 9, Boombots) and didn't quite live up to the EWJ games. And today, the only one we still hear about is that greasy "I think I'm the Fonz of the game industry even though I'm a asshat who didn't even deserve credit for the music that came out of my studio" Tommy T. Oh, and Perry released some statement about what he thought about the Revolution controller, and everyone who read it was trying to remember a game he was involved in within the past 7 years.
AndrewTS Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 Did any of those great Mickie Mouse platformers ever make it to Genesis? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mickey Mouse: Red X 1 and 2 ruled. (EDIT: Hey, 10 hours later and there the screens are!) I remember that the Looney Tunes would often luck out with some decent games. B-Ball was a decent NBA Jam clone, Desert Demolition was a blast, and Bug's Genesis game (name escapes me right now) was hard but really fun. I hated the Taz games. I know that Tiny Toons inexplicably got games years after the series was cancelled. Hell, there is a GBA game that's either coming out or was put out recently I saw reviews for.
devo Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 Meh, I might be feeling a little too nostalgic towards Eternal Champions to judge it impartially. I played that game day and night when it first came out.
Corey_Lazarus Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 Comix Zone is a good game and must be played. Side-scroller where the hero is trapped in a comic book, and when the screen is cleared and more villains are going to come after you a hand shows up and draws them in? Ownage.
AndrewTS Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 Using *normal* attacks drains your health on it, though. WTF? The bonus cd was a disappointment, too. Considering how many people put Eternal Champions CD on their list of top SCD games, apparently the base engine appeals to some people, but I didn't see the big deal when the game was new. evem/
Masked Man of Mystery Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 I remember Ecco used to get pushed to the moon by Sega, but I cannot figure it out, so it might be wroth checking that out. Oh, and Afterburner II, that's really fun.
BUTT Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 Oh, and Perry released some statement about what he thought about the Revolution controller, and everyone who read it was trying to remember a game he was involved in within the past 7 years. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He did the Matrix game.
Carnival Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 Eternal Champions was a joke. Get, Mutant League...anything, they're all classic/horrible.
