Wasn't there a Genesis that came with Sonic 2?  I really don't remember very well since I already had my Genesis and wasn't interested in another.

I got the good genesis with sonic 1  8) I do believe the model 2 came with sonic 2 though. I really hated the sonic2 that came with the game gear. THat game had me pulling my hair out, haha.

I got Sonic 2 for free in the mail in Nov 93 from Sega. It was part of  a promo for buying a Genesis core deck.

What about the Lion King pack-in for Genesis 8) ?

Sonic 2 for Game Gear sucks! Such an annoying pack-in!

That's pretty awesome.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Dammit! so many things to miss...

So I guess I wasn't the only one who thought the Game Gear version of Sonic 2 was too hard?

My votes went to the Duo pack ins (for obvious reasons) and to Tetris for the Gameboy.  I spent many, many happy hours in that game; it was perfect for on the go and was awesome to link up and play against my neighbor.  If I could have a third vote, it'd go to Combat for the 2600.  8)

I voted the duo pack in and the NES SMB/DH/Gyromite.  I remember first seing Rob in action and thinking it was the cat's ass.  True- Rob got put on the same shelf that would eventually get dusty along with the idiotic power glove and all of the other useless craptivating NES accessories- but that first day man- that first day.   :)

I voted for the Duo pack-in. Not only do you get the 3-in-1 CD, but you also get the easter egg Bomberman and a random pick of any HuCard game (or a preselected HuCard. But even those preselected HuCards were great games. i.e. Ninja Spirit, Dungeon Explorer...). My second vote was the NES pack-in SMB/Duck Hunt/Gyromite. The robot was a gimmick that only had two games, but it was still fun to use.  :)

Altered Beast was an OK pack-in and did show off some of the Genesis' capabilities, but Altered Beast just isn't a great game to begin with IMHO.

I guess it shouldn't surprise me that the Duo pack-ins are annihilating all the other choices. It is, after all, a TurboGrafx forum.

But I doubt that'd be the case on any other video game forum. As much as I love the Turbo, objectively speaking I think Mario 4/SMW is by far the best pack-in ever. I mean, that game was f*cking phenomenal. The amount of work that must have gone into that game... only to have it end up as a pack-in. They could've sold the SNES without a pack-in and made people cough up $60 for Mario and made a killing.

I guess it depends how you look at it. Quantity-wise, sure, the Duo pack-ins would slaughter any competition. But on quality alone Mario just kills. It's probably as close as you can come to having a "perfect" platformer. And they just gave it away for free.

I voted Super Mario / Duck Hunt. The most widely circulated pack-in of all time.

I was going to say Tetris (Gameboy), and by rights, it is the best pack-in.

But, I voted for Combat because my brother and I played a bazillion hours whenever we visited my uncle's house.

Hmmmm, 2-player competitive Tetris on Gameboy could have crushed Combat, though.... hmmmmmmmm....

There's also the Sega Genesis model 1 "Fighting System", which came with Streets of Rage 2

I voted Super Mario World for the snes and the duo 3-1 pack for the Turbo.I used to think Keith Courage for the Turbo Grafx 16 was the worst pack in game ever.If Sonic the hedge hog 2 was actually packed in with the Game Gear,than that would be tops.Does anybody no if the Atari Lynx ever had A pack in game?.

Super Mario World. The best game ever made and one of the few Nintendo-developed games that's actually good.
