A toss-up between "Ghouls 'N Ghosts" (owned four copies of it within a five-year period), "Streets of Rage 2" and "Sonic 3 & Knuckles" TBH. I know all three games like the back of my hand.

It's good to know someone else appreciates the Genesis Ghouls 'N Ghosts lol.Quote:

Hey, let's count how commonly games are people's #1 favorite. I only counted when people unequivocally said one game was their favorite.
Streets of Rage 2: 6 (!!)
Sonic 3 & Knuckles: 3
Shinobi 3: 3
Phantasy Star IV: 2
Beyond Oasis: 2
Sonic 1: 2
Panorama Cotton: 1
Gunstar Heroes: 1
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3: 1
Streets of Rage: 1
General Chaos: 1
Earthworm Jim 2: 1
Landstalker: 2
Rastan Saga 2: 1
NFL Football 94 starring Joe Montana: 1
Revenge of Shinobi: 1
Jungle Strike: 1
This is quite an interesting group of titles that shows how varied the system's library is. I'm kind of surprised that nobody has named Sonic 2 as their #1 favorite, although some said it was their favorite Sonic game.
Hey you forgot to include me! You need to put another vote for "Revenge of Shinobi"! ;)
That's actually kind of beautiful, sort of a swan song, and 11 years is a hell of a run.Quote:

I didn't even know the genesis has ghouls 'n ghosts until I watched an episode of came center cx last night.Quote:

She played through a lot of classic snes rpgs, she couldn't get the sound working so she cleared everything with no sound haha.Quote:

Sonick & Knuckles or Castlevania The New Generation.
Street Fighter II': Special Champion Edition. I've played that more than any other Genesis cart I own, and while I'm tempted to name something cool and exclusive to the console, anything else would be a lie in my #1 spot. Hell, I feel like firing it up for a quick bout right now!
my genesis games of all time:
Sonic the Hedgehog - yes, nothing can beat the original to me
DecapAttack - bought it new when it was released and loved it to death ever since
D&D Warriors of the Eternal Sun - My second favorite console D&D game of all time (after Order of the Griffon)
Sonic 3
Streets of rage
Altered beast
Street Fighter 2 champion edition
strider
