SEGA Mega Drive - Good games + Questions?

[Tatsujin]

i has alisia dragoon, but that game gets INSAINLY HARD in the last levels..lol!!

It's such a fun game!  I am also a sucker for GameArts stuff though, and the animation for it was done by Gainex.

yeah it's definitely a lil gem. but as stated, for me sheer unbeatable. need some more fishermans

btw. it's gainax^^

CASTLE OF ILLUSION!

Oh shit I thought I saw Alisia Dragoon mentioned already before I posted my stuff.


That game should be at the very. very. very. top of a "stuff to play for MD" list.

To me it's the best side scrolling actiony game on the system.

Looking at my collection, here's my suggestions:

-Aladdin
-Earthworm Jim 1 & 2
-Gunstar Heroes
-Home Alone (No, really. It's the best adaptation by far! It's actually fun to play!)
-Castle of Illusion
-World of Illusion
-The Lost Vikings
-Lost World: Jurassic Park
-Ristar
-Shadowrun
-Revenge of Shinobi
-Shining Force
-Sonic the Hedgehog (all the main series games)
-Streets of Rage 1 & 2
-Thunder Force series
-Toejam and Earl 1 & 2
-Vectorman 1 & 2

+1 on Mickey.   

If you like RPGs Might and Magic 2 and the D&D game (Warriors of the Eternal Sun) are also good.

Magical Troll
Dahna
The Super Shinobi II/ Shinobi III
MUSHA Aleste
Sagaia/Darius II
Curse
Verytex
Alien Storm
EDIT:  Might as well add Strider Hiryu.  No CPS1 but a damn fine port that was amazing for it's time.

SONIC SPINBALL!

So many games, so little money. I'm very tempted to buy an everdrive.

Thanks for all the recommendations!

Go for an everdrive since the system is new to you.  Best way to find out what you like on actual hardware.

Many of the suggested games are actually quite cheap.  Some can be had for <5$.

I was so proud to own a Genesis when I first saw the ad. 8 MEGS DUDE, EIGHT f*ckING MEGS!! lol or was it 6? I forget.

Off to find that print ad

Everyone's had some great suggestions...here's a couple other lesser-known ones:

-Wings of Wor (Gynoug in JP/EU) is a distant relative of the Cho Aniki series - good shootie
-Shadow Blasters (Shiten Myouou in JP) is a fun 30 minute or so sidescroller that can be had cheap...great tunes
-El Viento is another Wolf Team game that people either love or hate. it's worth a run through. Just avoid the crap-tastic sequel on the Mega CD

[roflmao]

Wings of Wor, Steel Empire, and Streets of Rage 2 make up probably 80% of my Genesis game play lately.  They should all be pretty easy to pick up on the cheap.

Gunstar Heroes, Vectorman and Sunset Riders are also great fun.

Bio Hazard Battle is another fun and cheap shooter.
