Sega Genesis is *debatebly* the most fun system ever

Alright kids, time to go back to school. Yesterday whilst talking about Chrono Trigger, one child stated that anything before the Xbox was horrible to even look at. Thus prompting this thread and teaching kids why the old systems paved the way and will always be better than today's systems. Not to mention some of the greatest soundtracks ever to come out of one speaker. I chose the Genesis because I love it and i just bought a new one this week.

Golden Axe

Comix Zone

along with Rocket Knight Adventures

Toejam and Earl in Panic on Funkotron

And the Ultimate Tower (the genesis with 32x, game genie, S+K, and Sonic 3)

Respect your elders, kids

Oh yes, beyond greatness. Loved this game.

The Genesis was cool. My favorite Sega system was actually the Dreamcast though. (I don't care that it was discontinued... it had plenty of enjoyable games while it lasted)

Alien 3

Super Mario World

Super Street Fighter II

The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past

The SNES still edges out Genesis imo.

1. Chrono Trigger

2. Super Mario Kart

3. Super Mario World

4. Yoshi's Island

5. Super Mario RPG

6. Super Castlevania IV

7. ActRaiser

8. Secret of Mana

9. F-Zero

10. PilotWings

11. Final Fantasy IV, VI

12. Super Star Wars

13. Super Ghouls N Ghosts

14. Mega Man X, X2, X3

15. Axelay

16. Gradius III

17. Contra III

18. Zelda: A Link to the Past

19. Super Metroid

20. Earthbound

Also, SNES had far superior sound and better graphics. ActRaiser and Super Castlevania IV sound leagues better than any Genesis game. Also, imo the SNES controller was better.

The Mega Drive Shadowrun is the best Shadowrun-based game yet made. and the closest it got to the pen and paper game. It was also one of the best RPGs of the generation.

Sega Genesis was soo good. I still wish I have mine so I can play Streets of Rage 1 and 2. These games were so much fun. phatkav

Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Boxing

My favorite Genesis game, and I'm not even really into boxing. I don't know why, but I just couldn't stop playing it.

I would probably still have it, if my Genesis wouldn't have broke.

Not really. I used to have that too, but I like this game better, it has RPG elements.

I do think that the SNES is better. But the Genesis is a gem. Plain and simple. Anyone remember Eternal Champions?

Oh yeah...

Well at least the "child" can read, he said anything before the xbox was horrible to look at. Hes right, by todays standards those games you listed are fugly. CreepyBacon

They don't bother me.

Oh man i wish i could find a Sega CD

IMO second best Sonic Game (next to Sonic 3 And Knuckles)

This is the pretty much majority of SNES and Genesis/Megadrive games. You decide 8)

The Saturn is still leagues better. For one, it has Virtua Fighter, NiGHTS and Panzer Dragoon.foxhound_fox

The only thing is that most people know or at least have heard of a big amount of Mega Drive games, (not counting the Mega-CD though) while they ignore most of the Saturn library.

Oh man i wish i could find a Sega CD

IMO second best Sonic Game (next to Sonic 3 And Knuckles)

InfinityTomorro

Nah, Sonic CD still holds the title of best Sonic game ever made.

]Well, I don' think the Mega Drive it's "leagues behind" specially with the Mega-CD. But the main reason for it is that the Mega Drive never took off in Japan as expected in it's original run (it did became more popular afterwards though), while the Saturn did. This translated into a much bigger support from Japanese companies.

The Sega Mega Drive was the best... I was in my early teenage years and I cant remember how much hours i spent every week gaming on that console... it had many great games :)

If you were a sports game fan then you had a Genesis. Period, end of story. EA's NHL glory days with the blue ice, Madden, FiFA, etc.

Oh, and don't forget that the six button controller was probably the best controller ever.
