Recovered from the bowels of my paternal grandpa's vacation home, I dusted off my old Sega Genesis and looked at my childhood-in-a-box:
Toejam and Earl
Sonic 1, 2, 3, & Knuckles
Phantasy Star 2, 3, 4
PAPERBOY
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Hyper Stone Heist
Vectorman 1 & 2
John Madden Football '92
Aladdin

plus some other crap I don't remember.

So I popped in Sonic & Knuckles connected with Sonic 3 for DUAL STACKAGE ACTION :D thinking "Oh this won't take too long to beat it's probably much easier than I remember." I finally reach the last boss with a couple lives left, but the events that unfolded soon had me bellowing "FUCK this shit". Every time you hit a boss, they turn invincible for about a second, which sometimes means you would just go right through them. So, tails decides to hit this friggin boss right before I land on him, so I fall through and die. Thanks, tails. You're a real pal

So now I'm playing TJ&E goin' "aw yeah I'm going to pimp it up with these two hip aliens from 1991 and nobody is going to stop me"
After making them rap (early 90s style of course) I started the main part of the game. Little did I remember that the fastest these rad aliens will go is at a leisurely stroll, so I got pitchforked by guys in devil costumes and died

I plug in Paperboy and put it on hard cuz it's a challenge I think I can do. WRONG. I'm being chased by bees and vandalizing the wrong houses and crashing into breakdancers and being eaten by poodles.

I think I'll wait until I meet up with my roommate again so we could play zombie football and zombie hockey but really I wanna know if there are any other games that are pretty good for Genesis.

You have too much time on your hands

Schimid · #4

It's Mutant League Football/Hockey.

Get the Streets of Rage series, and Mickey Mouse's World of Illusion.

Make sure you get WORLD and not CASTLE. World is an awesome two-player game involving Mickey and Donald, and Castle is a shitty single-player game with nothing redeeming.

Zomboid · #5

Fuck you. I loved Castle of Illusion as a kid as well as world..

Edit: Oh, fuck, the games...Get splatterhouse 3, Chakan the Forever Man, General Chaos, and the best one is Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

King Hadas · #6

Get Quackshot

EDIT: I'd say get Comix Zone also but I was always under the impression it was impossible to find at a resonable prize, same thing with the Splatterhouse games.

Marc Summers · #7

Hmmm after some more rummaging I found World of illusion :o

Thank you. That was one of the other games I was trying to remember to add to that list...there's a bunch that I played for genesis as a kid and still love but it's hard to remember em all sometimes.

But yeah, Comix Zone kicks ass.

Esuohlim · #9

Comix Zone was a game I always wanted to rent before I got to Blockbuster, but then when I actually got there I didn't feel like trying it, so I rented Toejam and Earl for the umpteenth time.

I downloaded the rom and it's cool I should have rented it.

EisigerBiskuit · #10

Comix zone, Vectorman (CALLACABROFL), Zoom!... wait, was that for snes?

Lil' Johnny · #11

What's going on in your sig

Games for the Genesis? Mortal Kombat. Mortal Kombat and only Mortal Kombat. Series.

Aneurysm · #12

Street Fighter II and Ristar

Marc Summers · #13

I've rented Ristar and beat it within that time :/
But somehow I have it for my Game Gear except I don't feel like eating up 6 batteries for 3 hours of playing

Rongi · #14

get Dynamite Heady and Double Dragon VS Battle Toads ( or is it Battle Toads VS Double Dragon ? )

Guitar Woman · #15

I thought it was Battletoads and Double Dragon.

It's still a pretty decent game if you're bored.

Zomboid · #17

Also, Kid Chameleon. BOO YA!

Dr. V · #18

Don't forget Cool Spot. Noithng's cooler that an old 7up advertisment placed in a game. Well... maybe the Noid game.

El Blanco · #19

A little known game called Flashback. Not many people know of it, but those who do love it. It was an action game that looked cool and had a good story.

Lots of puzzle and job based tasks. Also, plenty of shooting and blowing shit up.

Yes, flashback is excellent. It was pretty hard, though. Is black thorne for genesis? I remember playing it on PC and its very similar to Flashback. Only cooler.
And I used to love Alien3 on Genesis, but i'll bet i wouldn't like it if I played it now.
