Considering it was a Disney (American) joint operation with Virgin (British), I'd opt for Disney's Aladdin. However, Vectorman is right at the top of my list as well.
You certainly are a big fan of Aladdin aren't you? :DQuote:

Wing Commander and Rise of the Dragon.
Not knowing Blue Sky was an American company, my first response was, "Is this a trick question?" The lion's share of good Genesis games come from Japan. However, here are some of my American-derived faves:
Vectorman
Comix Zone (formerly Aladdin:))
Lost Vikings
Rock'n Roll Racing
Hardball 94
Edit: Oh, yeah, and add NBA Jam...
I think Aladdin is certainly a bit of an iffy choice for the thread seeing as it was both designed and programmed by brits, but I guess the US musician and artwork people bring it to a kinda' 50/50 game between the countries.
Some other games that I just remembered that deserve merit from the US have to be
Starflight
General Chaos (think that was US made)
Desert Strike
Toejam and Earl games
Comic Zone
Dune II
The Marvel Comics games (Spiderman, X-men)
Lion King (that one was made in the US totally I think)
I'm with Baloo on this one. Eternal Champions immediately popped into my head.
In that case, I will replace Aladdin with Comix Zone. I didn't realize the Sega Technical Institute was based in the U.S. Comix Zone is one of my all time favorites...Quote:

Definitely Kid Chameleon:cool:
Gotta be Dune II. I just can't stop playing that damn game.
Somehow I never realized that it's an American game. I always assumed that Westwood Studios would be based in the UK.
Anyway, the game's great, and the Mega Drive variant is as good if not better than the MS-DOS original.
I think Earthworm Jim is another borderline, I'm not sure how many Americans actually worked on that game.Quote:

And GameFAQs is wrong, RR2 did not come out in the US in mid-1993, it came out in late 1992.
Road Rash series here
I reject "My" reality and replace it with "Your" own. I completely forgot that Sega Technical Institute (of America) collaborated with Sonic Team on this one.Quote:

- I don't think that being of Native-American heritage would be a requirement for a game qualifying as 'American' but I also feel that highlighting the game's birthplace instead of the authors, many of which were involved in the original Sonic as well, doesn't do it justice either.Quote:

I (probably faulty) remember reading this site that Sonic 2's dev team was half American/half Japanese. [I originally had an explanation theory here which would have insulted Americans, but I decided to delete it]
Your civility is appreciated. ;)
