![]() ![]() That seems a bit unbalanced and skewed, in that it basically suggests there's actually more "great" games on Genesis/Mega Drive than Super NES/Super Famicom. I just noticed that you have three pages worth of "best" games on Genesis/Mega Drive vs two for Super NES/Super Famicom. It's also one of the few games I am happy to jack the difficulty up all the way. I come back to that one a lot(last played it multiple times this time last year) and still learn new things and notice small details. It's such a well made game with the only issue I can think of being the controls are an obstacle for some people. Ranger X was another one that was a pleasant surprise. ![]() I have since wanted to try the Japanese original. ![]() Looking at what's on the list, Decap Attack surprised me how fun it was when I first played it. Fire Shark, Grind Stormer, Truxton, and Elemental Master are very good(and there are plenty more great shmups). Treasure's Light Crusader was still great fun when I last played it a few years back, and the soundtrack is great. I also like Phelios a lot, but that's not to everyone's taste. Rolling Thunder 2 and 3 are both great games. Namco's Genesis output is often overlooked. I know it's not meant to be extensive, so I'll just add some others I like. Original copies of the game are quite expensive these days, but thankfully Castlevania: Bloodlines is available on the Mega Drive Mini, and on the Castlevania Anniversary Collection on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam and Nintendo Switch. While many other Castlevania titles focus on Dracula’s titular fortress, Bloodlines takes a whistle-stop tour of Europe, starting in Romania before moving to Greece, France, Italy, Germany and eventually England. Castlevania: Bloodlines ( Vampire Killer in Japan, and Castlevania: The New Generation in Europe) is a visual and technical showcase that abandons the laid-back atmosphere of the SNES title Super Castlevania IV and instead adopts a more intense, over-the-top approach there’s plenty of cartoon gore (some of which was censored for the western versions) but the main hook is the tight control, challenging gameplay and wide range of environments. Konami was late to the party when it came to supporting the Mega Drive, but when it did eventually turn up, it did so in style. ![]() It's also worth noting that these games are not presented in any particular ranking. We've tried to avoid picking several games from the same series where possible, and have aimed to showcase the wide range of titles on the system across the spectrum of genres. The first true 16-bit home console, the Mega Drive boasts a library that is absolutely packed full of fast-paced arcade and sports titles, as well as a wide range of platformers, RPGs and fighting games. Released in 1988 - that's 34 years ago this year - the Sega Mega Drive (or Genesis, if you're in North America) is arguably the company's most beloved home console – it's certainly the most commercially successful, having shifted a respectable 30.75 million units worldwide.
