Tell me your favorite Sega Genesis games.
ditto for II and CD but i prefer the art and music in this one
>>738274670
>>738274670God tier game incoming
Does Sega CD count? i haven't played many Genesis games but'd like to
>>738274670Who did it best?
such a badass game
What's that Genesis game that was a port of a computer game and it had like 3d graphics and first person view with spaceships and shit, anyone knows what i'm talking about? it was i think from 1990
>>738274670>>738275036>>738275191>>738275204>>738275698What the fuck is with all this fantastic taste on /v/ all of the sudden? Where the hell are you cunts normally?>>738276351Sounds like Star Cruiser.
Genesis has more good games than I remember. Ill add Contra Hard Corps
>>738276470>Sounds like Star Cruiser.yeah, that's the one, my fucking nigger, thanks
>>738275516kek
>>738275516The nip one, because it has a cute girl on the cover and that makes my weenier tingle.
>>738276584People want a binary where because the SNES was "better" the Genesis must suck, but that's simply not how it works. Both systems (and let's be frank the PC Engine as well) were running on all cylinders and putting out banger after banger. In fact we often got two great games out of the competition like>Contra III and Hard Corps>Castlevania IV and Bloodlinesall 10/10 entries in their franchises.
>>738276893the real truth is that the neo geo btfos both
>>738275516lol at the American boys being scared away from a game with a girl on the cover because it will give them cooties.
>>738276893I grew up with the SNES that gen as my first console ever, but as an adult I have a pretty strong preference for the Megadrive.>>738276982Based. I tend to oscillate between the Megadrive and the AES being my favorite 4th gen console.
Love Atomic Runner, simple as.If you want to try it, make sure to switch control type to 3-1
>>738274670Tell me the game that used the BLAST PROCESSING the best, RIGHT NOW
>>738274670We love girls piloting mechs here.
>>738277375trvke.
>>73827689316-bit was the peak, and I won't be convinced otherwise.
>>738274670Phantesy Star III and IV, General Chaos, Shining Force 1 & 2, After Burner II, Gaiares, and Gunstar Heroes. I know I liked a few more RPG's in there but I can't rememeber them off hand.
>>738276470i'm always here but frankly kinda demotivated by all the other threads
>>738275510I always counted it.
I never had a genesis but I was dicking around with the games that are on switch and they all kind of suckwhat am I missing
>>738274670SoleilBare Knuckle 3Rolling Thunder 2 and 3Shinobi 3PulsemanRanger XMonster World 3 and 4Shining Force 2Phantasy Star IVLunar (jap version)Lunar Eternal Blue (jap version)Popful Mail (jap version)Kei Flying SquadronSteel EmpireHard Corps (jap version)BloodLines (jap version)Castle/World of IllusionQuackshotFlashbackDesert StrikeChiki Chiki BoysGranada (Overclocked via emulation to fix the slowdown and bring it up to the same speed as the x68k original)Alisia DragoonBlackthorneSnatcherGunstar HeroesI want to say ghouls n ghosts but the arcade version is so much better, and you can just emulate it these days. Even the PC engine version is better than the megadrive port.
>>738278452isn't there a romhack of Ghouls to make it closer to the arcade version?
>>738278601Yeah I think they made a new version from the ground up to make it closer to the arcade version, i haven't tried it out yet though - i'm not sure if they finished it.
>>738274670>>738275191>>738275204>>738275227>>738275698This has to be some retard samefagggingBest Genesis games are Bloodlines, Shinobi, Sonic, Hard Corps, Streets of Rage, not middling shmupslop
>>738278179>what am I missingProbably taste if I had to guess. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt though and ask: which games did you play?
>>738278787Shmups are what the megadrive is known for because of its fast processor's ability to throw sprites around with ease.
>>738278847don't reply to anti-shmup retards, anon...
>>738278847shmups were seen as outdated slop by both players and devs by the 90s
>>738278847Not a single good shmup there. Genesis shmups all have big blocky sprites and just feel shit to play. I feel like NES shmups had their own identity at least, but Arcade version is always king. It hardly matters though, as shmups are a bottom of the barrel tier genre plagued by fake interest faggotry
>>738278847>Shmups are what the megadrive is known forthat was the Turbo 16 mayne
>>738278992PCE had a lot of good arcade ports plus a lot of its own exclusives, shame it had almost nothing else. But yeah, Genesis blows for shmups
>>738278975>I feel like NES shmups had their own identity at leastYou're a nesbabby, your opinion doesn't matter.
the turrican game that feels the least european
>>738274670Panorama Cotton
>>738278452>just play the arcade version guys it's so much betterno thanks, I don't think I will
>>738278992PCE was even more known for shmups, sure, but Mega Drive is still known for shmups. If you collect all the genres together, I think shmups will come out as the number one genre on the platform even if it had a ton of great games in other genres.
>>738278787>STOP LIKING SHMUPS AND START LIKING SONIC RIGHT NOW
>>738279073>feels the least europeanIt's literally a port of Turrican 3 from the Amiga.The least european turrican games are the 2 on SNES as they were made in California.
>>738279067Genesis barely edges out in action games, but SNES absolutely destroys it in terms of platformers, strategy, JRPG, shmups, and misc.There is also nothing on Genesis on the tier of ALTTP or Super Metroid or DKC2 or Super Mario World or Chrono Trigger either. I mean I love Hard Corps and SoR2 and Bloodlines and Shinobi but they just aren't on that same level.And NES vs. Master System is just a one-sided shitstoml
>>738279163>nestard AND snestardYeah, your opinion doesn't matter.
>>738279152It is literally better in every aspect. But you're free to play the megadrive port if you want. It's still very good for what it is.
>>738278787Yes thank you Normal Boots
>>738279154That's the funny thing, none of these posers even like shmups. Sure they'll suck them off to seem like some cool cultured hipster, but they haven't cleared any of these games despite them being a piss easy joke compared to your average arcade shmup
>>738279152Yuji Naka (programmer, uncredited) fucked up the collision detection.
>>738279161i mean in terms of game design it's the least european. turrican 3 was also ported FROM mega turrican. the two machines sharing a CPU probably helped.
>>738279237More pathetic abstract tendie cope.
>>738279301skill issue
HOOOO
>>738279301Christ
Vectorman. 2 isn't nearly as good.
>>738279646Now not to say Vectorman isn’t a good game, it is. It’s just it did nothing that a bajillion Genesis and SNES games like the 16-bit Contra’s or Gunstar Heroes hadn’t already done better. It really only existed to show off just how far beyond the intended breaking point they could stretch the already obsolete Genesis’s hardware with the “modern” advancements of 1996 programming. It’s basically a last hurrah for the Genesis by making it do things only its replacement the Saturn (and N64/PS1) were supposed to be able to do. But pre-rendered 3D graphics are not impressive anymore, so all you’ve got is the serviceable but unremarkable gameplay, to which people will just go play Contra or whatever instead.
>>738275516jp mogs
>>738279769It's fun and looks cool
badass
For me, it's Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
>>738279965
>>738280128hell yeah
>>738280128Hell yeah.
https://youtu.be/rsxFDML6J1A
>>738280541https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHs7VA8gwvMdisney did pretty good on the genesis
>>738280541Amiga tier controls and level design. Awful game overall. Dave Perry's games were terrible but had nice animation.
>>738280629Yup
>>738280813ok
I really, REALLY fucking hate western genesis era video game cover artit's so fucking dogshit compared to the japanese art and makes everything look like horrific slop I would never want to play
>>738281143this game not having a title screen was kinda cool
>>738279153>Mega Drive is still known for shmupsI never heard of this. It must be very niche if you aren't much into shmups.>>738278787The platform had beat 'em ups like Golden Axe. Maybe a few action!platformers like Maui Mallard/Shinobi. The system seller is obvs Sonics. and if you want to branch out jrpgs like Shining. Then the rest is hidden gems like this or OP's.
>>738278975>arcade versionSure you colossal retard, let me just load up the arcade version of Battle Mania 2 and TF4 in MAME. If anyone mentioned the Toaplan ports you would have had a point (Slap Fight MD excluded ofc since that has a whole new Slap Fight game in it), but even those have the god tier meggy version OSTs and much lower difficulty levels for babbys.Then again, you simped for NES ports, so you're a fake interest no clears retard that doesn't play arcade games to begin with. I always laugh when tendies in consolewarfaggotmode try to pretend there's a binary between enjoying arcade shmups and console shmups, when in reality they play neither while MD and PCE gods enjoy both. When they're in other threads, you'll see them jerking off to gay elf jarpig/zelda slop (REAL interest).
>>738281803>I never heard of this. It must be very niche if you aren't much into shmups.Let me revise that: its still known for shmups among people that like both shmups and the Mega Drive.
>>738278787Dick Tracy is better than all of those, non-players need not apply.
>>738282072uh oh. based.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvOfncwgDiUThis was KAMIGE back when I was a little shit
>>738276470i'm normally on /vr/ but that board is shit now
I can't believe it's been over 30 years and it's still the single most faithful Shadowrun game ever made mechanically. Fuck you Catalyst and fuck you Microsoft.
>>738282535/vr/ is a cautionary tale of what happens when mods leave their posts. It before and after the hack are completely different boards, it's unironically worse than /v/ now.
>>738282627The sad thing is it's literally 2 or 3 posters.
>>738280049Splatterhouse 2 and 3 are great, but it's sad I never see similar love for Rolling Thunder 3, another Namco Megadrive exclusive installment for a series that started in arcades. I don't know if it's just because people literally don't know about it what.
>>738282663>3 postersAustraliafag, the REmake schizo and who else? I would say the Mortal Kombat spammer but I haven't seen his threads in a while.
>>738282627/vr/ is better than it's ever been. I'm just waiting for 7th gen then I can leave /v/
>>738282664Rolling Thunder 3 looks like a good time
>>738282798If you like that give Elevator Action Returns on Saturna try. Also James Bond The Duel is a sort of rolling thunder game.
>>738281275That's why Koei was where it was at. Their box art was already Westernized and it looked fucking incredible.
verytex is just alright, but that music fug manhttps://youtu.be/n_ZJyUbt-HI?t=35
>>738282842I got Elevator Action Returns on my PS4. It's soundtrack shouldn't be that brilliant
>>738278787faggot
>>738283143bodied that tranny freak.
>ctrl + F>"Ristar">0 resultDamn...
>>738283634sorry lad. I do love ristar.
Not a particularly great game but I've always been fond of Jewel Master. Being able to mix and match all the different rings for different spell effects is a cool idea.
>>738274670I was playing this yesterday. Pretty good but I think I still prefer Revenge.
>>738282664unfortunately you can shoot diagonally and shoot while jumping in Rolling Thunder 3
>>738284456tragic...
>>738274670>interested in cover>look it up>it's just a generic shmup#42069
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCzwy_j2VH0
>>738284967but enough about the TurboGrafx library, we're here to talk about sick-ass Genesis games like TOEJAM & EARL
>>738285145This, Genesis is famous for its RAD games.
The version of Flash of Sword in this is fucking awesomehttps://youtu.be/rZxaSbcEDuI
>>738285624meant to quote >>738284848
>>738284307Same here m8. 3 is so fucking good, but there's just something about Revenge.
>>738274670>>738275036>>738275191>>738275204>>738275227>>738275516>>738275698>>738276326Nice covers. Now let's see the actual games... not that attractive, I bet.
>>738274670Arrow Flash is awesome. It's cool to see someone who also love it.
>Nice covers. Now let's see the actual games... not that attractive, I bet.
For me, its Kid Chameleon.Bloody Swamp
>>738286023Zing!
>>738274670I miss Shining Force, only strategy rpg games I really play much. They always felt like real adventures
>>738283907For the longest time I thought Jewel Master was another game entirely, so never bothered to look into it. I looked it up just now for what I thought would be a refresher, and it turned out I've never even seen this game kek. Thanks for the rec lad, this actually looks pretty cool.
>>738286432I doubt anyone gives a shit, but the game I was confusing it with was Mystic Defender/Kujaku Ou 2. The JP original has female nipples on the final boss so def go with that one.
>>738286842Dude, I was about to answer you that Mystic Defender was the game that I always confused with Jewel Master.
>>738286951kek I'm glad it wasn't just me.
>>738274670For me? It's Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin.It was, to me, the 1st truly great Spider-Man video game there was.
>>738286215>>738286261>that scalerwtf man
>>738286354https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAkar034jds>tfw this plays at the end
https://youtu.be/t3m6XvTg944I haven't played the CD version
>>738288346The ending to the Shining Force games, especially the first, always made me feel something. Like the end to a long journey. It's weird too because they're so basic and straightforward. Yet they carry a weight to them I cannot fully describe.
>>738282765>/vr/ is better than it's ever beenLol
my parents bought me nearly every console growing up but they refused to buy me games for each console. so I had like 6 genesis games. Vectorman was definitely my favorite based on my very limited experience.
>>738282627Shouldn't have made PS2/GC/Xbox retro. That opened the floodgates to literal gen Z third worlders that flood this site as those animals rode those consoles into the 2010s.
>>738274670Road Rash 1-3 are still the best combat racing games ever imo.
>>738274670Pulseman.
>>738279154Get this motherfucker outta here
>>738288920They have soul
>>738289475This. Or the younger Gen Zs that are trying to "rediscover" sixth gen.There is a distinct difference in quality before, and after the decision.
>>738278787Are shmups zoomer kryptonite?
>>738288920I know the feeling well anon. Great games.
>>738285837Three's good because of it's massive sprites, with amazing detail and animation to be sure. But Revenge honestly is just as good, if not better in the opposite direction thanks to having such a larger world because of how zoomed out it is. The sense of scale for the presentation on Revenge is good.
>>738288920the translation kinda fucked this scene up. i don't think she's supposed to be telling the story to Max (the PC).
I really like this game. It's super underrated for some reason.
>>738279349Retard.
>>73829004210/10 soundtrack.
Also Mickey Mania
>>738278992>that was the Turbo 16 maynePosthumously. The best shmups were JP only and much like with the Saturn it wasn't seen as a shmup powerhouse until the region lock was circumvented and people started importing in droves. In the west it was Genesis vs SNES and Sega cleared the SNES in terms of shmups, just like it had during the NES era with the Master System.
>>738274670A good Pre-Sonic Genesis game. If you're interested it has infinite continues, the final levels are still very hard though>>738282627This whole site is going to hell, there is nothing left but mental illness.
>>738290350Mickey Mania is good.
>>738279769why do you talk like some faggot writing a youtube essay
also thisthere are different versions but i do like the genesis version as well
>>738290996Vectoman is a game for FAGGOTS and if you like it you're a NIGGERFAGGOT. Better?
>>738283634>Looks up Genesis Recs threads to see if his favorite game is mentionedDamn...
best version of the gamehttps://youtu.be/fjaZsFaXEmY
>>738286215Jesus nigga, you actually play your genesis games like that?
>>738285837Revenge has a feel to it.
>>738291075Not really, I just wanted to fuck with ya.Cheers mate :^)
>>738282536>TFW no 3rd Person Action/RPG Shadowrun
>>738291282geez I got the image off a wiki
>>738290674Mental illness is saying anime already even existed in the 80s
Elemental Master owns so fucking hard.Cadash is a great game too, so is Chiki Chiki BoysRocket Knight Adventures is awesome tooTrouble Shooter is fun and is genuinely funnyPhantasy Star IV is one of the most underrated JRPGs of all timeGenesis fucking owns, play more Sega
>>738292110Yes it did exist. And believe it or not, people were pioneering animation as far back as the 1900's.
>>738292334Nadia is the first anime youGod damn illiterate stick figure drawer
>>738289975> i don't think she's supposed to be telling the story to Max (the PC).Despite that, I like the change for the better.
>>7382900421 GUY?NO CONTINUES!?!?good game but the first time I died I didn't know about getting more lives so I laughed hard at the sudden gameover screen
Have any of you guys ever played High Seas Havoc? I don't know what the fucking deal is, but I've legitimately never been able to beat the final boss and it makes me feel retarded.
The Genesis did backgrounds very especially cityscapes.
>>738292896i love the SOR2 backgrounds.
>>738274670Streets of Rage 1Shining Force 1 and 2Warriors of the Eternal Sun Sonic 3 & KnucklesPhantasy Star 4Ranger X
>>738292775Yeah, it seems super punishing but besides the extra lives you can find Alisia herself is kind of tanky. Still a very hard game, but not quite on the level as some of the other bullshit on the Mega Drive.
Should one play the SEGA version or the NEC version? Or both?
>>738296093the music is way better on the sega cd BUT the game is easier and looks slightly worse
>>738274670Pulseman
>>738299354I didn't knew this was a trilogy.It was also very weird a random spanish title like "The Wind", too.
>>738274670if Starfield had this art style it would've been GotD
>>738274670>>738275191Two of my fave Genesis soundtracks
>>738285317will never forget when a friend and i booted this up randomly from my rom collection at our college student center and some stranger came over to gush about it for several minutes
Kino of Illusion
>>7382776369000/10 game
>>738300156i thought this was a 3rd party game all along but it turns out SEGA themselves made it, pretty cool.
>>738276709That right design is great
This game drove me crazy as a kid, I need to beat it for revenge. Amazing Jesper Kyd soundtrack.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntTS6MteH-U
>>738286842>The JP original has female nipples on the final bosshehe
>>738283907Jesus Christ that cover art is something else.
>>738276470>What the fuck is with all this fantastic taste on /v/ all of the sudden?Welcome to /vr/. Zoomers has dogshit taste.
>>738283907The chiptune prog-shred soundtrack is excellent, on par with the best Castlevania soundtracks
>>738282664I mentioned it in my list above ^
>>738283907Outstanding soundtrack. Dude did Landsatlker and Shining Force 2 as well.>>738284848I like the valis games, even though they're kinda crap.
>>738299354I love wolf team but i can't get into el viento at all.It feels like an unfinished beta.
I had this game and I could never beat Dracula Odie lol
>>738300554>>738300686Just been playing again after many years and it is a really great soundtrack. I had forgotten. Nice to see some love for this game.
Fucking love this little guy
>>738300359Game is impossible past a certain point.
Pretty nice threadSucks about the state of /vr/
>>738302670Elaborate. Is it bugged or what?
>>738274670Alien Soldier for the Mega DriveOh wait, Genesis fags never got that one :)
