This is my first post on this board. Hello. What are your favorite titles on the Genesis/SNES? I've been looking for stuff outside of my bubble of knowledge and I figured less-retarded /v/ was the place to ask.

>> No.4866217

Genesis is better than the SNES for games like Ghost busters, Home Alone, Sonic 3, Toejam and Earl, Dynamite Headdy, and Aladdin I just had a great time with the console.

>> No.4866221

>Home Alone
Also, Capcom Aladdin > Virgin Aladdin.
But yeah the Genesis Ghostbusters game is great. If you want to play another good Ghosbuters game, play Ghostbusters 2 on NES (PAL only)

Genesis usually had bassier music, too, which was a definite plus to me as a kid. Shit I could beatbox like a moron in the back of the car. Vectorman was awesome.

Genesis is good if you want jagged metal music, SNES is good if you want atmospheric/moody orchestra music

Well, I dislike long intros, especially unskipable ones. As someone that listed Alien Soldier and SoE as favorite games, I would enjoy them even more that way.
As for Xmen 2, it was just cool that you started playing the game even before seeing the Sega/Marvel logo. I can see cinematic games benefiting from that approach too.

Rocket Knight Adventures is a great one.

The McDonald's Treasure Land game is pretty fun too and I can't stand McDonald's. It'll probably only take you an hour to get through it.

Then if you want to cleanse yourself of the cutesyness get Demon's Crest for SNES.

People have had a lot of time to go over the libraries and it is true that most of the best stuff is well known at this point even if the title was a commercial failure, japan only, or whatever other situation that would cause it to be not be popular in-era. If you're going through romlists playing unknown stuff you're probably going to be more looking for average or mediocre games you personally like cause of the graphics/music or a particular mechanic or something. Playing random unknown games and pretending this was all you got that christmas when it's shit is a good way to keep perspective on just how good the "good old days" were sometimes also
