I recommend checking out Ranger X and Alisia Dragoon. High quality action platformer and run n gun (6 button controls are recommended for Ranger X).

There is just a lot to enjoy on the genesis, as someone who didn't grow up with it.
>>
Warsong and Shining Force

2's great but theres something about 1 that just feels better.
>>
>>738744592
Yeah, I like the first game's chapter structure more, I didn't feel like the world map in 2 added much to the experience and perhaps even detracted. I had both as a kid but my nostalgia for the first is stronger.

This game is truly better than sonic but too bad it never got half as popular. I think the only thing to dislike is how fucked the usa version's difficulty was, but now you can just play patched Japan roms that don't cut out the story too!

These are all awful games and you're missing SO FUCKING MANY good ones jesus christ man.

For fucks sake mate you don't have even the basics in there.

I've played most of the games on your list, I'm old. By your own logic, someone could just look up the list of Genesis games themselves and thus your original list was also spoonfeeding.

do not disrespect the golden axe trilogy (yes all three) and PSII near me ever again okay yeah the dungeons are total bullshit in PSII because the dev team were too nice to rein in the newbie that mapped them out, but the rest is so FUCKING kino that it's a great experience even "cheating" the dungeons with maps

Hard to say. So far probably Super Hydlide. It's not a system I'm played tons of stuff on. Just finished Vermillion on it today, that was an interesting game. Super Hydlide was genuinely great though. Shining series looks pretty neat, definitely interested in checking it out, same with Phantasy Star.

Why is it better than, say, the Saturn version?
>>
>>738754658
the saturn/ps1 version replaces a lot of the art with some horrible looking pre-rendered shit AND also replaces the music. the Sega CD version also has the best score.
>>
>>738754743
Thanks.
That's unfortunate because I saw it for a decent price and I like to play on original hardware if I can. I'll emulate Sega CD in that case.

While I have you, how's the Policenauts Saturn version?

>>738754934
i never checked out policenauts but it's apparently the best version, yeah

>it's weird that they put so much effort into this port and didn't release it in japan.
Because the Sega CD version is the PC-Engine CD version with minor tweaks and that platform was much more relevant in Japan.
>>
Shin Megami Tensei Mega CD
>>
>>738755636
there's more to it than that though. the game's 3rd act is expanded (it was pretty much just a big cutscene in the PCE version), a lot of the art was redrawn and it mostly looks better, etc.
>>
>>738755712
I really don't like the Sega CD music. I think the PS1 version with its cleaner SNES audio was better.

Marvel Land
Crude Buster
Galahad (Originally "Leander" on the amiga)

Mega CD games:
Lunar (Make sure you play the jap version or at the very least the un-working designed patch)
