So it finally arrived literally 2 hours ago... whats a quintessential Genesis game i should play that will make me appreciate the console as something other than a poor peoples Snes?

The only game i played years ago was Comic Zone and it kinda sucks.

Congrats. You've wasted time and money.

Alien Soldier is the best game on the system and the best Treasure game period

Thanks for the suggestions... Now that i remember ive read somewhere years ago that theres a Shinobi game tvat features a boss that is pretty much Spiderman and ot was later replaced with a different boss... is that game a hack?

A game I was playing the other day was Alien storm, its like golden axe but what pushes it above snes is having 8 characters on screen at once with no slowdown at all as well having super sharp 320x224 graphics because of the carefully selected colour pallete.

Genesis hardware can beat snes if used right but it did not get quite as many developers as it should so slightly didn't meet its potential. I would avoid anything by Acclaim.

It depends on what your favorite snes games are, let me guess, zelda, mario, donkey kong.

No it's revenge of shinobi and it has Spiderman, Terminator, Batman, Rambo, Godzilla copyright infringements. There's like 4 differant revisions with various changes obviously 1.0 is the original.

[Anonymous No.7925685]

>>7925668
Hulk too. Pic related.

Contra and Castlevania are the two best games. Unless you have a better version, play Ghouls 'n Ghosts. Play Shinobi 3. Rocket Knight is pretty good. Try Ranger X

OP did say he thinks of Genesis as poor people SNES so it’s possible he’s permanently a faggot.

The hell it did, it was basically a non-entity in lots of European countries. It dominated Britain becaue the Nintendo distributor there was retarded.

[Anonymous No.7925992]

Probotector (Europe)
or Contra: Hard Corps (USA)

My favourite Mega Drive game by far as a lad.
It's the same game but some regional changes (all chars are robots in Probotector)

Why would you buy a system and a flash cart without researching the game library first?

Honestly the Genesis is such a based console, I find myself playing it more than my SNES.

[Anonymous No.7926405]

>>7926360
Same. Games just seem to play better on the Genesis even with lower sounds quality and graphics. Not exactly sure why, honestly.

Why do people on this board keep falling for shitty bait threads like this?

[Anonymous No.7926474]

>>7926405

It's a lot of personal preference for me too. I just at the end of the day would rather play arcade shit than get invested in an RPG or something more long winded. Genny just has more of those than the SNES.

[Anonymous No.7926587]

>>7925735
Besides Sonic, every one of those games will filter op.

[Anonymous No.7926598]

>>7926360
based list.

hot take: snes continued to rpg evolution, but genesis continue platformer evolution
>> contra -> gunstar
>> mario -> sonic 2
>> castlevania 1 -> bloodlines
>> kirby -> ristar
>> ninja gaiden -> rocket knight / shinobi

[Anonymous No.7926606]

>>7926598

based take and why i prefer the genny desu, that shit is just more so in line with what I prefer to play on the daily. I don't dislike RPGs, I just would rather play something snappier usually
