Choose one.
Mine is Sagaia. Darius forever!
Good choice. Damn good game. I am still in love with it after all these years. At times I think it's better than the arcade version. - It's definitely better than the Saturn version and that's pretty much arcade-perfect.Quote:

Some milestones:
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Without it, I wouldn't own a Mega Drive.
- Quackshot, Castle of Illusion, World of Illusion: The first games I bought.
- Streets of Rage / Bare Knuckle series: Still the #1 reason to own a Mega Drive.
- Shining Force: My first "RPG" (I know that it's not a real RPG)
- Thunderforce 4 and Darius II: My first shmups!
- Wonderboy in Monsterworld: My first action-adventure
- Revenge of Shinobi: Borrowed it from a friend and kept it for MONTHS! Still beat it every now and then. It somehow never gets old.
I would say that these are my favorites.
That's easy. Shining Force.
runner up...
MUSHA
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
I don't have an absolute favorite, but here are my top picks in no particular order:
Standard Genesis carts:
Thunder Force IV
Thunder Force II
The entire Sonic series
Virtua Racing
After Burner II
Sega CD:
After Burner III
Sonic CD
Android Assault
Sol-Feace
32X:
Virtua Racing Deluxe
Shadow Squadron
After Burner Complete
Sonic 3 and Knuckles.
I consider it one game, and therefore it is one of the finest games I've ever played. It was one of the first games I really tore into (although that was on the PC, but really it's the same thing wrapped in a Sega-coded emulator) and became obsessed with, one that was so amazing that it held my young attention span for almost two years of nonstop replaying. Additionally... it shaped me for years afterward by turning me into a rabid Sonic fan, which years later made me realize how bad obsessions were and therefore made me a better person overall. AWESOME!
Herzog Zwei
By far the most fun, the most addictive Mega Drive / Genesis game ever made.
It was also, practically, the first real-time strategy game ever made. YEah there was the original Herzog on the MSX computer but that wasn't too great and most gamers never got to play it. Herzog Zwei was available worldwide on a console that was available worldwide.
Over the past 18 years or so ( I didn't know about HZ until 1990 even though it came out in Japan in 1989) I have dreamed about a remake and/or a sequel for almost any platform you can imagine:
MD/Gen
Sharp X68000,
FM Towns / FM Towns Marty
System 16
SuperScaler arcade boards
MegaCD/SegaCD
32X
SegaCD 32X
Saturn
MODEL2 or MODEL3 arcade boards
Dreamcast/NAOMI
Xbox
PC
GameCube
PS2
Xbox 360
Wii
PS3
Spider-Man versus the Kingpin.
MD:
Panorama Cotton, Langrisser II & Sonic 2
Mega CD:
Lunar: Eternal Blue
32X:
Space Harrier
Toejam & Earl: of course, hands down. It's fun single and multiplayer, with the random world feature the game is different everytime. What else could you ask for? The pace of the game is not too slow, not too fast. Secrets are everywhere, cool powerups and monsters. Great theme song and an original concept. The only thing lacking is the graphics, but they still aren't that bad. They just have the early Genesis feel to them.
ps, people, this thread is asks for your favorite game not games!! Don't be scared, decide!!
Since I got the Genesis I can't really say how many favorites I have.
I'm thinking of just making a folder in my emulator file that just has the Genesis super favorites but when I think of it it won't be fair because there are a few no name games that rival even the top games.
Its so confusing.
I'll have to go for Streets Of Rage II, although Sonic will always have a special place in my heart. Honourable mentions: Gunstar Heroes, Comix Zone, SSF2, Mortal Kombat, Greendog and Toki.
Shinning Force II and Thunder Force IV are my absolute favorites. I beat Shinning Force II about eight times already and I'm going through it again on the Wii Virtual Console.
Dune 2 Battle for Arrakis!
Have played the game on all platforms and remakes on the likes of PS1, Dune 2000.
Hey, I just bought that game (after searching high and low for months!)
Plain Sonic 3.
Phantasy Star IV
It's either Sonic 2 or Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition
Phantasy Star 4.
If you care for a Top 10, check this out...
http://topvideogames.kohost.0lx.net/
a few honorable mentions: Sonic 1, 3, & Knuckles, NBA Live '95, FIFA '95, Vectorman, Strider, and Gauntlet IV
I love the Genesis!
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 & Phantasy StarIV
Shining Force. I love the gameplay of the overall series, but the original Shining Force will always be my favorite. I love the darker art style, characters, battle scene graphics, music... I like almost everything about the original more than the sequels. It's also a game that wouldn't be the same on a different console.
Shinobi 3: Return of a Ninja Master and Sonic 3 for me :)
Streets of Rage 2
My Favorites are:
Fav Run & Gun: Alien Soldier
Platformer: Sonic The Hedgehog
RPG: Phantasy Star IV
Shmup: Panorama Cotton
Landstalker
Ooh, tough one. Guess I'll do like Jesse and list them by Genre.
Platformer: Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
Fighting: Eternal Champions
Sports: NBA Jam
Beat-em-up: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist
If I had to pick one...Comix Zone, natch!
For the Genesis:
Dinosaurs for Hire
Sonic 1-3
Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
That's it really, I'm sure there's more, but I'm tired, and I don't think do well when I'm tired.
Sega CD:
Sonic CD
Tie between Sonic 3 and Knuckles and the Shining Force series (Hard to get a single game to choose).
Sonic 3 & Knuckles! fantastic graphics, great soundtrack i remeber the day i got the Sonic&Knucles cart new back in the day :) was awesome then and its still awesome now!
Hmmm, probably Sonic 2. It's the game I got with my Genesis however many Christmases ago, and I imagine it's the one I've spent the most time with. After that I would probably say Phantasy Star IV.
I've made a top 38 of my favorite Genesis / Megadrive games for my website a while ago: http://www.quebecgamers.com/dossiers...30/index3.html
It's in french but simple to follow with all the pictures.
Or in short, my top 5:
1 - Contra Hard Corps
2 - Eliminate Down
3 - Alien Soldier
4 - Thunder Force IV
5 - Gley Lancer
Sonic 2 has to be my favorite Genesis game.
Great list. I'll have to try Eliminate Down now...Quote:
