Okay, I'm going to admit something here...the greatest game ever was on Genesis.

Six great games! Great amounts of replay! One low price!

I'm sorry, Tetris, but I've remembered this old love...!

It's a MicroGenesis.

Why doesn't Sega slap a screen on this, get it to GBA/SP form-factor and sell the unit for $30-$45? Put the games on cards or cheap carts, sell them at 3 for $10 or something. Instant cash cow.




Or maybe they won't. Sega's history of incompetent management dictates moves like this might actually be smart and thus not worthy of the company's history of acting like a bumbling drunkard.

They're too busy putting all their efforts into those Sega Ages titles. We all know how well that turned out eh? (Hint, read this thread ) ;p

Why do so many people regard Streets of Rage 2 better than Streets of Rage 3? SoR3 was longer, had more variety and was infinitely more fun......

I do like SOR3 a lot, but 2 has better level and boss design. Dr. Zan sucks too. There's also the soundtrack. 3's is underrated, but it can't touch 2's. 3 also has WAY too many enemies. It gets really boring when you have to fight literally 6 of the same type of bad guy in a room. All beat em ups have repetitive enemies, but SOR3 is just really, really bad at it. It's just wave after wave after wave at some parts.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
I miss the Telenet and Compile games...

A shame no one has mentioned M.U.S.H.A.

Trouble Shooter I enjoyed a great deal. Same w/ the excellent port of Forgotten Worlds.

Thunfer Force II had its moments.

SoR2 is my favorite Genesis brawler... maybe favorite overall, possibly. The level with the elevator, while Expander plays in the background... that's good frantic fun, especially on the hardest setting.

That's actually pretty interesting since it's widely regarded that the Genesis version is superior. Not that I care all that much but I've always been told that. Specifically that it's more of an RPG and much more faithful to the FASA's gameworld. I've only played the SNES version so I can't compare.

I played both and felt the Genesis version was lightyears better than the SNES one.

>_>

I still play SoR2 with an online friend when I get the chance. Gunstar heroes, Landstalker, REvenge of Shinobi, Shinobi 3 ... the list goes on.

Ya, MUSHA is/was Compile's greatest achievement, IMO...before they got crazy with the Puyo Puyo madness... TFII's sidescrolling bits were great, but the top-down stuff was boring as hell...and it really shouldn't have been. Trouble Shooter was interesting and fun, but I never did play it until the Gen was past dead...the boxart was fugly. Forgotten Worlds does rock (god, I'll never forget the music!) but I had an arcade next to me that had the game as well...nothing beats those rotary controls...even as well as the Genny version was handled.

Shadowrun Gen was better-playing, to me, than the SNES version. SNES version had a better story and music, though. Also forgot to list El Viento...more eye-candy than real game, but it was hella fun to see those big, pseudo-scaling sprite explosions.

Earthworm Jim 1, Subterrania, Buster's Treasure Hunt, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, Junction, (and the excellent conversions of) Starflight, Star Control, Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday added...

That's because I overlooked this thread somehow.

Both Battle Mania games rock btw (BM2 is as good or better than Forgotten Worlds)

Way to overlook GAIN GROUND and VALIS III! Scrub.

I'd also throw in E-Swat, Thunderforce IV, Shadow Dancer, and the aforementioned MUSHA and Battle Mania 2. But good list.

As for El Viento.. speed run. It's all about finding yourself a stopwatch, running in the game nonstop and finishing the game in record time.
