Outrun, seriously? It's terrible.

I'm in the same page as you. Just received a beautiful japanese model 1. First games I will play will be Earthworm Jim, Castlevania: Bloodlines, Thunder Force IV and Sonic 3

[OP No.6509364]

>>6509356
Congrats on your get, post a pic? Definitely got my eye on that castlevania game. I've never played a castlevania before. Also, I've always heard that the genesis version of Earthworm Jim was superior, but I've only played the snes version.

[Anonymous No.6509370]

>>6509269
Of course, Sonic 3&Knuckles and Thunder Force IV
Also can you play Sega CD games?
If so Sonic CD, Final Fight CD, Shining Force CD and Robo Aleste are a must.
As for 32x the only games I'd recommend are Knuckles Chaotix, Space Harrier, After Burner and Virtua Fighter

[Anonymous No.6509398]

Mystical Fighter
Arcus Odyssey
Mazin Saga: Mutant Fighter
Ka-Ge-Ki: Fists of Steel

Casltevania Bloodlines

[Anonymous No.6509415]

If you want SNES-style adventure/RPG games:
>Phantasy Star IV
>Crusader of Centy
>Shining Force II

[Anonymous No.6509440]

>>6509332

Thunder Force III (overlooked because of IV, but equally as good imo with less slowdown)
Mercs (Great port of the Arcade, plus an original mode)
Atomic Runner (Superior to the Arcade Version)
Hellfire (Superior to the Arcade version).
Hang-On (Much better port than Outrun plus original mode).
Blockout (Great puzzle game that no one ever talks about)
Flicky (Looks crap, sounds crap, plays amazing)
Mamono Hunter Yōko (Great but overlooked action platformer).
Kujakuō 2 (Japanese version of Spellcaster 2)
Elemental Master.

oh, I feel this place was the most relevant. I have asked for advice in the past and was happy with the suggestions I've been given. I'm also at work and can't go on nsfw boards. But thanks for the advice of going to a diff board.

I just fixed a 1988 VA0 Mega Drive. It looks like it suffered a poor soldering job from the factory and never really worked right till I touched up all the fucked up solder joints. Around the Video socket and the headphone circuitry. I like the system. It's got some heavy banding you notice every now and then. Might try and fix that. I just ordered a matching Mega CD for it. Hopefully it gets here and still works.
I got some Mega Drive games. Zoom!, After Burner II, Whip Rush, Twin Hawk, Virtua Racing, and a few other that I can't remember their titles.
Really enjoying the MegaEverdrive on the console.

And yes, FYI if anyone cares. Virtua Racing works just fine on a VA0. With my Cart wasn't so beat up, but it does work great.

[OP No.6509906]

not sure what the consensus is on this controller, but I played with it a bit and also futzed with it in usb controller testing and didn't notice any ghost presses. I tried out some games and wanted to thank you to >>6509840 >>6509837 >>6509803 >>6509562 >>6509440 and >>6509252. I played mostly ranger x and musha. I was surprised to find the controls for ranger x were a bit unorthodox but quickly learned how to play. The sprite work is so awesome and god damn that music.

[OP No.6509909]

[Anonymous No.6510112]

Ranger X is fun but man is there a lot going on with those controls.

[OP No.6510117]

>>6510112
right?! kinda addicting microing your bike and working swapping between the different modes

[OP No.6510121]

>>6510112
I feel you, but it's addicting to micro your bike while managing the different stances.

[Anonymous No.6510682]

>>6510112
It takes a little practice but once you have the controls down it's fantastic game.

[Anonymous No.6510761]

Yea my model 1 has some vertical lines/jailbars which seems to be typical for that version of the MD. At least the sound is the best.

I really liked Dynamite Headdy. What other platformers did the Genesis have? Lookin’ for some more, preferably lesser known ones.

Most YouTubers have idea what they're on about, I watched a video a couple of days ago from a supposed "Mega Drive expert channel" that said "Why even bother with the Revenge of Shinobi when Shinobi III exists.."

Irony of the nth degree. Stupid kids like you perpetuate this shit. Clicking (jk: tapping) on every link some faggot sends you will never make you cool.

Beyond Oasis doesn't get enough love, it's a pretty solid action adventure game.

>shitty Zelda clone with shit art assets that don’t match each other, looks like a free browser flash game
>doesn’t even copy the leveling up aspect of Zelda so it’s reduced from ARPG to just action game
>Sega fanboy cope

>>6512986
>Enjoyable Beat 'Em up combat with a surprising amount of moves
>Good level design with lots of secrets to uncover
>Nice scores

I think the comparison to Zelda is unfair and that they come out of a similar tradition but have different goals in mind.

I'll admit the bosses are trash but the rest of the game is pretty good.

Wily War fit better on SNES.

[Anonymous No.6514823]

Monster World 3 and 4 are really, really good. If you've ever played Zelda 2 and wondered what if it would be like if the game play was good, those are excellent examples. The worlds are fun to travel, the music is great, dungeons are engaging and there's a lot of little touches that make the game feel like they're full of love, like in MW4 when you hold your pet pepelogoo, you can move around normally as you would on foot, but as he grows and gets fatter, you struggle to move around with him. Nice little details that elevate the game. I recommend both of them.
