I was on vacation this past week visiting my fiancé. He decided to give me his old Sega Genesis since he no longer had the cables to hook it up and so never used it. I just bought the composite cables for it as well as one of those adaptors that lets you get the stereo audio from the headphone jack. Now I'm gonna need some games. He gave me a few his brother used to play, but aside from Sonic I'm not sure how good they are. What are the best Genesis games? I love RPGs and puzzle games the most, but feel free to recommend any genre. |

I guess it comes down to what you like If you want mindless beat em ups try Streets of Rage, Golden Axe or Altered Beast More action oriented games try Strider (amazing game), Gunstar Heroes, Vectorman For simply good fun platformers try Kid Chameleon, Rocket Knight Adventures or Ristar Alll of these can be found for under 10$ usually, only exception being Gunstar Heroes pushing 15ish Also, can't really go wrong with any of the Sonic games, Sonic 2 being my fav of the series |

I am not too familiar with the Genesis, But I know some good games. "6-Pak" Is a good cart too get, It Has Sonic 1, Golden Axe, Streets Of Rage, Revenge Of Shinobi, Columns, and Super Hang-on, all good games. Vectorman is good. The Ecco The Dolphin games are alright, not the best, but go cheep. I am not a RPG buff, but I think there are a few good ones on the system, like the Phantasy Star series. "Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures Of Mickey Mouse" is pretty good. Michel Jackson's Moonwalker is fun, but a bit pricey. Ristar I hear is good, same with Rocket Night Adventures. The good thing about the Genesis is most of the must have titles are cheep. |

Soooooo many great games As above, streets of rage and golden axe. Disney games, particularly Donald duck quack shot, and Aladdin. Rolo to the rescue. NHL hockey 94. The first Ecco particularly is great. Columns. Desert/jungle/urban strike Road rash Lotus turbo 2 Monaco grand pix 2 Super hang on Sensible soccer Thunderforce series, particularly Thunderforce 4 |

If you love RPG's, you *must* pick up Phantasy Star IV. II, III, and IV were on the Genesis, and while IV is a total masterpiece, II isn't bad, either, it's just older. Stay far, far away from III, though... Most of the other people on here have nailed the list of "must-have" games, too. The 6-Pak is a great idea, if only because you get the first Sonic game and Revenge of Shinobi for a low price. Road Rash I or II also comes highly recommended, as they were excellent, classic Genesis games that weren't made by Sega. If I were you, and I could only get a few games at the start, I'd begin with: Phantasy Star IV Sonic 2 Road Rash II Anything else is just icing on the cake, if you ask me :-D |
