Mega Drive game suggestions

[Wonko the Sane]

I just recieved a sega mega drive with a few games recently. Anyone have any suggestions of games I should pick up for it that I can't get on my wii's virtual console or anything I should get for the sake of having the cartridge.

The games I have already are: Sonic 1,2 and 3 and Streets of rage 2

Thanks for any help

Gunstar Heroes, Rocket Knight Adventures and Strider are the first that come to mind. Try and get Shinobi 3 if you can. Maybe get a 6 button controller and get MK and SF2?

Jesus, was it stolen from a museum?

Follow these instructions and you will have a gay ol' time, just like the flintstones!

1)look up the sega mega drive ultimate collection for PS3
2)read the list of games
3)buy the same games on that list
4)?????
5)profit!

For extra fun, don't get that Alex the kidd get a different one. Also there was a bike game that I would be on almost constantly but I can't remember the name of it!

It was top down and I am pretty sure the bike was green.

Also, marble madness.

Edit: I was thinking of enduro racer but this one

Street fighter 2 turbo is what I recommend the most. Seriously that game is FAST on the genesi...

Oh wait you have the megadrive. I'll just stupidly assume you'll be playing PAL games so I guess you will have to deal with games like Sub-sonic the hedgehog.

But get street fighter 2 turbo anyways. It's a brilliant game. The controller is designed perfectly for street fighter, it's basically a fightpad.


I might as well add Golden Axe as a recommendation too. There have already been lots of recommended games though.

Aren't all of these games for Genesis?? I assume I read it correctly that he had a Mega Drive.

That you can't get for the Wii Virtual console? Well, I don't know what's available on there, so here:

Sonic & Knuckles (seriously, if you already have the first three games, you need this one)
Ristar
Ristar
Ristar (if you don't want to pay for it three times, I guess that's fine)
Dynamite Headdy
Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition (the original and The Lost World are all right, but this was the great one)
Ecco the Dolphin
Earthworm Jim 1 and 2
Vectorman 1 and 2
X-men 2: Clone Wars
Aladdin
The Lion King
Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure

More tentative but still sincere recommendations to Sonic Spinball, Sonic 3D Blast, and Desert Demolition.

They're the same console.

They're the same thing. Mega Drive is just what the Genesis was called in the PAL regions and Japan. Unless there's weird region locks on it it shouldn't matter.

I'd add Primal Rage a fighting game with dinosaurs.

Shadowrun a cyberpunk rpg

If you're into JRPG's it also has the Phantasy Star series. I'd also recommend Mutant League Football. (note this is American Football not soccer.)

 

[Nooners]

For a good RPG series, get the Phantasy Star games if you can find them. Good luck, though.

I didn't pick it up late in it's life cycle, but I enjoyed the fuck out of

Robocop vs The Terminator

It gets hella-hard. You may want to pick up a game genie, but I thought it was great.

PS II and IV in particular. Also add Contra: Hard Corps, Dynamite Headdy (yeah, it's been mentioned but it's worth another mention). Pretty much anything else I could recommend has already been mentioned, so I'll leave it at that.

Wow, ok My bad. I thought it was comparable to the NES. I thought I remember seeing one in a game store a couple years back and it looked more like an intelvision than a Genesis. I guess those store owners were just being dicks as I have never looked up a picture of one cause I thought I was seeing correctly. I apologize for my retarded comment.
OT: Also don't forget about the Shinobe games. Those get hair puling hard near the end...and Gunstar Heroes is a MUST. I have it for Genesis, my Will virtual console and that new one that came out on Gameboy Advance. Not as fun though...

 

[deathninja]

Desert/Jungle/Urban Strike, The Road Rash games and Wiz n' Liz were favourites of mine.

 

[teqrevisited]

Golden Axe, Mystic Defender and if you haven't got Sonic & Knuckles get that too. First, if possible. Also, Streets of Rage.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Aside from the usual game that other will list, I'll add a few of my own.

Gunstar Heroes

The Lost Vikings

Phantasy Star 4

That might have been a Master System.

Golden Axe.

Trust me, hours of my life wasted on that game are numerous.

 

[teh_Canape]

can't say any that hasn't been mentioned already
but there's Beggar Prince and Pier Solar, which are recent RPGs
