Your first Genesis game?

[Cornholio857]

Actually, now that I think of it. I honestly think my first game was actually Ecco.

I was really young when I had my Genesis. My first few games were

Ecco
Sonic 3D Blast
Sesame Street Counting Cafe (...I was REALLY young when I had it)
Thomas the Tank Engine (.....REALLY REALLY REALLY YOUNG!)

Better than this:

sonic 1 it came with my megadrive when it first came out

[SpaceFlea]

Sonic 1

[Zz Badnusty]

Altered Beast.

Very strangely the first non-pack-in game I got was Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle.
I got home form school one day and my brother told me to go look on my bed. I hadn't known him to have any interest in videogames since like the Atari 5200 days, but apparently the Genesis had rekindled the arcade fever of his youth.
I still never got a clear explanation of why he choose Alex Kidd, except that it was one of the only games at the $40 price point. I don't think he ever played a videogame again in his life.

The first game I purchased was Last Battle. For some reason I was expecting it to be like a martial arts Adventures of Link style game. Boy was I disappointed, though that didn't stop me from playing it through to the end countless times.

Better than this:

.......Suddenly I don't feel so bad

Altered Beast
Revenge of Shinobi
Golden Axe

I bought my Genesis for all three, but had to stagger them a bit.

For Christmas of 1989 I got my Genesis that came with Altered Beast. Also the same Christmas I got Truxton. It was a very good day indeed. I was 12 at the time.

Sonic 2.

Funny, me too....I got Altered Beast as a pack in with my Genesis and at the same time got Truxton & Ghouls n Ghosts. I was 12 at the time too.

I had played a lot of NHLPA 93 and Mortal Kombat 1 at my best friend's house before I finally got my own Gen. I still remember it well, it was my 11th birthday, December 1, 1993. I received a Model 2 Genny with Sonic Spinball. It didn't take long before I got more games to go with it, but Sonic Spinball was the 1st Genny game that I owned. I thought it was crappy of Sega not to include a case for it, although they did include the manual.

[Mr Smith]

Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I got all the way to the Mystic Cave on my first attempt and then had to go to a lousy friends party. Curse that child (now man) for daring to host a crappy party on the same day I was blessed with a Mega Drive.

[Phantar]

Got my Mega Drive with three games:

- Klax
- Super Real Basketball (known as Pat Riley Basketball in the US)
and - Golden Axe

Guess which one my favorite was! You've got three guesses

[synapse]

Quackshot, Sonic 1, Spider-man.

I absolutely LOVED my dad :P

[Tor Landeel]

Altered Beast, and got a few days later Alien Storm.
I previously played on the C64, so I was truly blasted by the graphics and the lack of loading times!

[Flygon]

Shining Force.

From what I can recall.
