  • I’m not familiar with the master system, but the Genesis has a fair number of good games. I think it unfortunately doesn’t hold up as well as it’s competitor the SNES though, because Sega went hard on licensed properties and sports titles, and a lot of those games just aren’t particularly relevant these days, and there were a lot of cross platform games that were just better on the SNES.

    But a few that I think are worth mentioning:

    • The adventures of Batman and Robin
    • Contra hard corps
    • gunstar heroes
    • vectorman 1 & 2
    • Ghostbusters
    • streets of rage 2
    • comix zone
    • Toejam and Earl 1 & 2 (the sequel is a very different game)
    • zombies ate my neighbors
    • road rash 2
    • earthworm Jim 1 & 2
    • Castlevania bloodlines
    • Shinobi III
    • Rocket Knight adventures
    • Mickey mouse Castle of illusion





  • Probably the Sega 32X. The messaging around it was kind of confusing, and still being fairly young when it came out, I was expecting it to be the gateway to 32 bit gaming that I would be enjoying for years to come. I ended up getting virtua racing on it, which was better than the Genesis version, but nothing spectacular really. I also got virtua fighter, which was a genuinely good game. Almost everything else was ports of mediocre games that had already come out on the Genesis. A couple of original games like knuckles chaotix just… Kinda sucked. Then when I found out that all of the support was going behind the Saturn, and that’s where all of the new and original games were going, well I just felt swindled.
