Anon, you need Chiki Chiki Boys in your life. I don't know a single Genesis owner other than me who knows about this game, and it's one of my favorites on the system. It's downright criminal it's not talked about more.

>>2608014
Anything by Treasure or Konami.

Now go have fun.

The only action platformer they did on the Genesis was Dynamite Heddy. Great game btw OP, check it out.

Also, fucking Monster World 4.

I had a Megadrive growing up but the only game I remember playing was Chakan, which I think might be up your alley.
Also I've never actually played any of them but I hear some of the Disney platformers are pretty good. Aladdin, Mickey Mouse, etc.

Anon, you mention Cybernator and don't even know it's predecessor was on the Genesis / Mega Drive?

De-cap attack was pretty fun

>No Strider
>No Shinobi
>No muthafuckin' Ghouls 'n Ghosts

Step it up, /vr/ you're losing your touch.

>>2608037
Strider was a terrible arcade port and SNES did GnG better. Shinobi is great, though.

Aladdin, Pulseman, Kid Chameleon, Wily Wars, X-men Clone Wars.

>>2608020

I own this, bretty good but was disappointed that it's not multiplayer like the arcade is.

The fuck is wrong with you?

Anybody mentioned Atomic Runner?

>>2608027
the best

>>2608041
>Strider was a terrible arcade port
It's pretty good, tho. Quite playable, and the music is great.

Vectorman, Alien Soldier, Mick & Mack Global Gladiators, Wonder Boy in Monster World, Shinobi 3...

Chakan. Vectorman. Comix zone. Genesis had its fair share of action platforming. But seriously. Chakan is the one to play. Infinite lives by default and you'll need them all. After so much time the levels reset and you have to beat them again.

>>2608014
Decap Attack, Earthworm Jim, and Ristar are very good.

A decent overlooked platformer on the Genesis is the Toaplan game, Wardner.

>>2608372
didn't know that was by toaplan

>>2608041
>SNES did GnG better
Jesus no

SGnG is a good game but it sorely needed less mode 7 and more blast processing

I recently got a sega cd to go with my genesis with popful mail, and during cutcenes the audio skips occasionally, is this normal?

>>2608414
Depends what you mean. Is it supposed to happen? No. Is the Sega CD having issues normal? Yes. I have two, and only one of them even plays Popful Mail (though both play some games).

>>2608427
I wondered because gameplay everything is fine. Its just during cutscenes every 30 seconds it will be like, "Ho-d it right, there bub!". Did you experience that with your playthrough?

>>2608442
No, I didn't have that issue. But keep in mind that the gameplay isn't streaming like in later CD games, it all loads at once. Whereas the dialogue is being read of the disc. The laser is probably getting old. In good news, I believe those can be replaced if it ends up dying.

>>2608447
Oh shit, I found a YT video with a cutscene that has the issue I do.

So this is probably a hardware issue?

>>2608373
One of their few non-shmup efforts. Its graphics on the Genesis are fairly crude but it's a fun little game.

Also OT, El Viento would be worth your time OP. Honestly, action-platformers are one of the system's fortes.

>>2608669
I beat that game the other day and I loathed it so much. I almost want to say I hate it but there's just enough cool shit in the game to put it off from total garbage tier. It's one of those games you need alot of time and patience for oh and a love for the genre.

>>2608835
i'm more of a clone wars kind of guy

Ranger X shits all over any graphical effects the SNES can do.

>>2608835
That game would have been okay except for the part where you need to *reset the actual console* to progress.

I don't know whether that was the most horrible idea or the most genius idea ever.

>>2608838
Clone Wars - epic game.

rocket knight adventures
castlevania bloodlines
XMEN 2: CLONE WARS

>>2608838
Great game. Really challenging towards the end. FPS takes a dive in 2P mode but still really fun. Loved the character sprites. Magneto especially looked great in this game.

>>2608041
Outside of the X68000, Strider on Genesis / Megadrive was the best home port. Super Ghouls n' Ghost isn't even the same game as Ghouls n' Ghost. You may like it better.

>>2611976
The PC Engine CD had a great version also, but the Megadrive port is perfectly fine.

>>2611987
the PC Engine port is interesting, but it is not the best port, nor is it a *good port*.

the MD version is as close as it gets, outside of the X68K version, which is kind of cheating, because the game was developed on the X68K lol.

>>2612005
oh, I forgot about the PS1 version, which is actually really fucking close. just the music is wrong, and some other annoying thing

source: grew up playing Strider in the Arcade, would 1CC it 5 times a week after school

>>2611987
>The PC Engine CD had a great version also
It might have been great had they done a direct port and not added shit. Even the audio was shit despite being on CD. The only thing it did have going for it was a larger color palette.

>>2612005
>>2612017
Welp, I'll admit it's been a number of years since I played the PCE version. I should check it out again sometime. I remember it favorably but that was before I owned another version of Strider. It's one of my favorite games, too.

>>2612032
Checking out the PC Engine version on Youtube, the music isn't bad, but the sound effects are. They actually stop gameplay on mini and bosses to do little closeup facial animations with speech. I don't know what the fuck is happening after the first level, but that stage isn't even in the arcade. I'm sure people expected something fitting of a CD seeing as how the attachment was so god damn expensive, so a straight port might have been frowned upon. It certainly wasn't the worst Strider, but I'll take Genesis, or better yet MAME arcade any day.

Genesis Does!

Surprised nobody has mentioned this gem yet
