Mar 31, 2010 · In the history of video games, this makes sense of the fact that more Genesis games use multi-scrolling backgrounds than SNES or TG16 games do. Despite their available CPU capabilities, or technical background layers, no system but the Genesis displays as many scrolling layers, by at least a factor of 2, as top Genesis software.
- Alien Soldier. For some, this run-and-gun game from Treasure is the holy grail of Genesis rarities. But unlike some collectible games for the console, Alien Soldier is a masterpiece of design rather than merely a low-print-run cult oddity.
- Pulseman. In 1996, the then little-known Japanese developer Game Freak released Pokemon Red and Blue on the Game Boy, resulting in a multimedia, multi-million-dollar phenomenon.
- Comix Zone. Like several other games on this list, Comix Zone came out relatively late in the Genesis’ life, which ultimately proved to be a double-edged sword.
- Castlevania: Bloodlines. Konami has made Castlevania games for a multitude of systems since the series began in 1986, but only one for the Sega Genesis – Bloodlines, which is arguably among the best of the 2D entries.
- Rocket Knight Adventures (1993) The number one option for a Sega Genesis game is none other than Rocket Knight Adventures. Something that completely flew under the radar for most at the time.
- Shinobi III: Return Of The Ninja Master (1993) The gameplay in Shinobi III is responsive and fluid, perfectly capturing the feel of a ninja. You can use a broad variety of acrobatic moves, lethal assaults, and impressive ninjutsu techniques thanks to the controls’ intuitiveness.
- Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (1992) What’s there not to love about Sonic 2? A game so epic it gave the mighty mascot Mario a run for it’s money back in the early 90s.
- Streets Of Rage 2 (1992) If you were ever wondering What makes a good beat em up game, the answer is quite simple. Tight controls, an epic cast of characters and some iconic sound design that makes for a great overall experience.

Everyone’s favourite hedgehog is a gaming legend; there’s no denying it, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is one of the finest games ever made. Link, Sonic, Spyro, Mario, Solid Snake; they represent more to gaming than any of the other characters put together, and I think it’s fair to say that SEGA made the right choice when creating their console mascot. ...
Next up on our list is one that I came across by chance when I was a teenager and have been going back to ever since. Sonic might be the lord of Sega side-scrollers, but Rocket Knight Adventures more than held its own in the vast catalogue of games for the console. Konami just seem to have a knack of creating incredible games; maybe they have a sec...
Ristar was actually pinned to be Sega’s mascot. A star with arms and legs taking on Nintendo’s moustachioed mascot, surely that wasn’t going to work? Well, it didn’t, and Sonic has been the poster boy ever since. Still, don’t discount Ristar just because of a failed marketing campaign. This game is incredible from start to finish and feels a little...
Finally; a chance to destroy Sunday Drivers once and for all! Combat Cars was everything that players who were sick of only using shells and bananas needed in their lives. Chain chomps are one thing, but being able to wield landmines, shotguns, glue spots, and more really takes driving to a whole new level! This is another one of those games for fa...
Hailed as one of the best games on the platform, James Pond II: Codename: Robocod was as brilliant as it was humorous, and featured some amazing gameplay that I can still remember to this day. I couldn’t sleep once and stayed up all night playing this game, so believe me when I say that I’m talking from experience here. How many games can you play ...
Heading back to the topic of ‘unlikely heroes’, Donald Duck is much more suited to getting angry at everything in sight rather than trying to save the day, but he gives it a good go in his debut title ‘Quackshot starring Donald Duck’, and one of the best out there to boot. Walking in Scrooge McDuck’s footsteps, Donald goes in search of hidden treas...
Bigger, badder, more rage. If you like Streets of Rage, then Streets of Rage 2 will be right up your alley. The camera is closer to the action, the players all have better moves, and the game itself just feels a lot more polished. I know we all liked calling the police car in to defeat all of the enemies on the original version, but working togethe...
Sega certainly knew how to do a good ‘beat ’em up’ game, and while many might consider Number 7 in this list to be the best on the console, Comix Zone certainly caught my attention back in the day. Unlike other side-scrollers, this game is set out exactly like a comic book. It has everything from small labels telling you specific city names through...
I don’t know about you guys, but I found the first two Shinobi Games pretty damn difficult when they first came out. I’ve chosen Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master to feature in this list because it was more about speed and agility than skill, which is how I tackle most objects in life today come to think of it! The moves were cooler too, and ...
I used to run back home to watch WWF Raw on tape every weekday morning after taking the dog for a walk, so I took wrestling pretty seriously. Seeing the undertaker riding in on a bike or Stone Cold running into the ring and smashing beer cans on his head; now that was something special. WWF Raw was one of the games for button-mashing multiplayer ac...
Jul 28, 2024 · Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Machine is a rapid, addictive, and one of the best puzzle game, simple and timeless. The game is available on the Sega Genesis Mini. Mega Drive Longplay [228] Dr Robotnik's ...
Castlevania Bloodlines– Bloodlines was able to do fake translucency, mirroring, parallax scrolling, cloud effects, transparency, and other graphical feats that pushed the system’s powers were done in this game. (Review) Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves. Just about every late Neo-Geo game pushed the system to its limits.
