Dude....dude, you need to do a General Chaos video dude!

Anyway, for me, I'll just list my top five

Ristar
Robo Aleste
General Chaos
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Pier Solar

Post by: mylifewithsega on September 09, 2012, 12:36:16 am
You do have Pier Solar! Oh, it's in your Top 5 even. It's worth $70 then? I watched an unboxing video for it on YouTube and the set looks beautiful. The gameplay and music look damn good as well. Should I invest in a copy? It would be great to review a NEW game for Genesis. Hehe.

I'm working on a 2-Man Scramble for General Chaos. However, I'm gonna' record a proper introduction to it. I think that's what has been lacking from those segments.

I have it (the reprint edition), and the manual is the best looking mega Drive/Genesis one you will ever see!

I sadly haven't played much of it...probably due to other games occupying my time, but it plays well from what I've experienced, and it's also apparently a hard RPG to finish.

I should get to that game once I run through Sparkster.

It's interesting that the Genesis/Mega Drive text on the Boxart/Cartridge are switched depending if you live in NA or EU.

Mine is Mega Drive with Genesis underneath!

about the mortal kombat part. Yo kev how can u say that :s i guess its a matter of taste. but i found MK1 of the megadrive a better gameplay but the graphics were crappier then the snes
but mk2 of the MD crappy? im sorry that hurts cause that game is better then of the snes. i actually played the snes version back in the days. and the only props is it has more voices. but the graphics and the physics of the MD totally rock.

ok MK1 of the Md loses in terms of graphics

Well my friend look @ this link:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcJs6wxdpsA

Look @ the shadows and the backgrounds, also listen to the sounds. No voices only fight and finish him/her.
Sorry im a verry big sega fan, but also a mk fan. My gamertag on xbox 360 is Noob saibot. I think i had almost every versions of mk so i think that i know what im talking about.
Title: Re: Favorite SEGA Genesis Games!
Post by: CrazyT on January 14, 2013, 01:51:56 pm
For some reason I still prefer the genesis version. It's a good example of where the limited genesis soundchip could produce some nice catchy versions of its own. I really like it, allthough I aknowledge the pros of the snes version like the graphical effects and paralex as mentioned in the video.

Also I think the gameplay feels subtly better for the genesis. I don't know what it is but it's moreo f the feel or something. But then again this could all be because I had that version so i may be biased in this

my sega friend you have to know that i know that :)
and thank u for showing. but i still love MK2 better then the snes.
and even mk1 even tho the graphics of MD are not all that . but the gameplay is.

ill give it to you the shadow and all that
but the feeling is different.

Japanese Version of Contra Hard Corps also has better cover art since it showed all 4 playable chars.
That game is the first Contra game I've ever played so it's definitely my favorite Contra.

Agreed. Sadly, it was too cool for North American and European audiences. :))



My first Contra was the NES one (great game!) but Hard Corps is my favorite too. The characters, bosses, music, graphics and that crazy action...everything is perfect!

To be honest, I think these games didn't age well. There's better fighting titles on both consoles.


By the way, everyone should play the Misadventures of Flink. It's a fun platformer and one of the prettiest Genesis games ever made.

Yeah, I've played it. It's a solid platformer.
The thing is ... Misadventures of Flink was only released on Europe.
The North American version was being upgraded as a SEGA CD game, so the genesis version didn't exist.

Good : Misadventures of Flink's weakness was its music, too generic. On SEGA CD version, the music's been remade a lot lot lot better.
Bad : Limited fan base. SEGA CD's owners' only a small fraction of  Genesis owners.

But there's alot of Sega CD games that are decent that I think everyone should play like Shining Force CD and Final Fight CD just to name a few.  :D  yes, not everyone owns a Sega CD and finding one sold seperately is a pain, most Genesis owners shouldn't be expected to buy another Genesis on top of paying for the CD add on.  I own 3 Genesis consoles and still a Sega CD (with Genesis included) cost 100 bucks.  I asked if I could get it seperate but nope.  I asked about a trade in for one of my model 2 Genesis consoles.  Nope.  I passed on getting a Sega CD and went straight to emulation instead.
