Lately, I’ve been going back to playing the ol’ 8/16bit consoles. Not just the consoles I owned growing up but also the consoles/games I missed out on.

About a week ago I picked up a Sega Genesis Model 1 and snagged an a/v cable for it. When I was a kid, I didn’t know about the different types of hookups and how they can effect the quality of the picture. Now, though, I can’t believe how much better the games look with a/v out as opposed to RF XD

Anyway, great article! There are many games on here that I never got around to playing so many years ago. Guess I need to run to Play N Trade >:D lol

I’ve had a genesis v1 since I was little, and I’m always surprised at all the good games there were for it. I still don’t have half of the ones on this list.

Edwin, I agree about the Sonic comment — it really got them on the mainstream map. And I’m not much of a fan of the early Genesis games either.

The Splatterhouse games are kinda on the border of being on this list — maybe they could fit on the honorable mentions

Thanks so the support!

well, while we’re on the topic, RoboCop Vs. The Terminator (which has a code to replace the men with women in girdles upping the rating to MA-17), Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Beavis and Butthead (a totally underrated puzzle game), Booger Man, Chakan, Ex-Mutants (well, I like it), X-Men, Cool Spot (not kidding!), Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine, the list just goes on and on and on…

Here are a few of dishonorable mentions: Last Action Hero, Star Gate, Spiderman/X-Men: Arcade’s Revenge, RoboCop 3, Alien 3, mmmmm

Hey, never read your sit before, very interesting read. I’m a big collector of obscure Atari, Nintendo and Sega games. I try to find the weirdest and silliest stuff (ie Decap Attack). I want to point out that if not for Sonic, Sega would NEVER have taken off the way it did. After playing Altered Beast, Saint Sword, Last Battle, Gods and several other pre-Sonic games, I would say that despite the improved graphics, those games are incredibly clunky. Had it not been for Sonic the Genesis/Mega Drive would be a quirky collector’s item rather than the massive success it was.

And why no mention of Sega’s most amazing products EVER: Splatterhouse 2 and 3?!
