I think the world is coming to an end, because I wholeheartedly agree with you for the first time ever ;)Quote:

Ever.
Period.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles if they count as one, if not then I cannot easily decide between Sonic3 and S&K. Things lean towards S&K, but only very slightly.
The whole game is full of great huge stages with some nice bit of exploration, awesome music for the most part and cool bosses though many are on the easy side. I like how it all escalates the more you near to the end in S&K, everything becomes bigger and badder, I find it really awesome, none of the previous games come near that.
Revenge of Shinobi
Castle of Illusion
Thunder Force 4
Streets of Rage 2
- I could play all of them again and again without getting tired so it's really not easy to pick just one of them... If I were forced to decide I'd probably go with either Revenge of Shinobi or Streets of Rage 2.
Darius II
Hmmm. I found this at a thrift shop for a buck a few years ago and have never actually played it. Maybe I'm missing out. Thanks for pointing it out.Quote:

Disney's Aladdin. It's the game with which I connect to the most, in general. If I think video games, I think Aladdin on the Genesis first and foremost. But then gain, if you know me, that's no surprise...
...for that reason, I'd still mention a couple more that, if Aladdin was to be the "Speed of Light", then they are as close as physically possible any object can get to the "Speed of Light" (99.999999.......%):
1. Phantasy Star II
2. Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Phantasy Star IV. It's the best game ever.
Shining Force. It still has a magical quality to it that hasn't been replicated in the sequels. It has a perfect dark aesthetic style that was diminished with each new game in the series. The gameplay is still as good as you could want from a game and it hasn't aged negatively in any way. It's also a very unique experience and there's nothing quite like it for SFC or PCE (not even Feda). The only competition the Genesis Shining Force games received was the Game Gear Shining Force games and the first two wound up on Sega CD with enhancements.
will a JP copy of shining force play on a PAL MD with a region switch?Quote:

Will play just fine but will always be in Japanese language no matter what settings your switches are.Quote:

Later on, I started reading Philip K Dick books and started seeing all these similarities. Cool cool stuff.
*nods* Uh-huh, uh-huh! It has great graphics, fantastic music, lots of secrets, and the awesomeness that is the Sound Test Mode :)Quote:

Can't pick one in all honestly. I can narrow it down to about 5 games, maybe, but I don't have a definitive favorite Genesis game...
