All the good Genesis/Megadrive games I hear (and have played) are first party. What are some good third party Genesis/Megadrive games?

>> No.435391

Contra Hard Corps
Monster World IV
Castlevania Bloodlines
Dynamite Headdy
Alien Soldier
Shadowrun

I meant published by Sega as well as developed, which actually removes half that list.

Rolling Thunder 2 /3 (Namco)
MUSHA (Seismic)
Mega Turrican (Data East)
Steel Empire (Flying Edge / Acclaim)
Rocket Knight Adventures (Konami)
Castlevania Bloodlines (Konami)
Contra Hard Corps (Konami)
Dunno how you'd want to classify the Capcom games like Strider, Ghouls 'n Ghosts and Chiki Chiki Boys, because They were published by Sega but the orig. games are all Capcom developed.

The Takara neo geo ports of samurai shodown and king of the monsters 2 are really fun. Samurai Shodown on genesis is missing my favorite character though. King of the Monsters 2 is not like the arcade version though its superior imo its the best one in the series its just straight monster fighting without the other fucking stupid bullshit the other games make you do.

I just completed this. It theoretically has limited continues but you can earn more by scoring, and with no time limit and respawning enemies, running out is completely optional.

It's fast paced and has a fun weapon switching mechanic. It's a good example of the kind of game you can't get on the SNES.

Hyperstone Heist is better than Turtles in Time imo, has better controls and can handle way more action on screen. The only thing that holds it back from being a perfect game is the fact they didn't toss beebop in the gauntlet

I never said it was, you mouth breather.
All I said was it was a perfectly fine third party for the Genesis. Great graphics for the system, and fun gameplay unless you're a retard that can't shmup.

The music is fine. It's nowhere near terrible like Marble Madness.
And all games are choppy compared to something in 60fps, so no shit. Thunder Force is choppy compared to Space Harrier.

>>436040
Okay, now I'm starting to think this is more "hurr it's Japanese it must be shit" than actual criticism, because using an FMV background and nicely done sprites is far better than Master System level Super Thunder Blade.

>>436050
1st Party. At least the Wonder Boy franchise is.

This isn't the N64, good framerates are standard. And nobody seriously recommends the first Thunder Force. Play the sequels instead.

I meant IV.
Also, if Genesis games were 60fps, then Space Harrier 2 would've been 60fps. Better yet the 32X port of Space Harrier would've been 60fps.

fuck off you're just jealous you don't own a copy of take that nigger and you probably play it on the SNES. A lot of my collection is imports you're just mad because I don't worship everything japanese and draw shitty manga in my spare time you weeaboo fagget. Panorama cotton sucks because it sucks, not because its japanese not because its cotton (fantastic night dreams is awesome). Its just a bad choppy game

All the Genesis Thunder Force games are 60fps.

Space Harrier 1 and 2 are both 60fps (original versions, I don't care about inferior ports).

>> No.436207

>>436169
Have you even played 2?
It's so choppy compared to 1. So much so that it can not be 60fps.
The Genesis was good, but it did not do 60fps, unless you're completely blind or got a modded Genesis.

Its not good I only mentioned it because its smoother than panorama cotton. and honestly its still pretty shitty.

Now you're talking out your ass. Either you played Panorama Cotton for 5 seconds and got frustrated with it, or you haven't even played it if you think Space Harrier 2 is smoother than it.

>> No.436240

You're right, 2 doesn't run at 60fps. I was thinking of the arcade version of 1.

But most 8-bit/16-bit console games do run at 60fps.
