Hey all, I wasn't much of a Genesis/Mega Drive player back in the day. And the only experience I've had with the game library for the Genesis is from my legally obtained ROMs and emulator that I have.
My main problem with coming up with this top ten is the fact that most of the games that came out for the SNES, also had a version for the Genesis...not all the games that were ported to the same system were in fact the same game though...you'll see that tomorrow. You know what? Fuck it, I'll just post them all and be done with it. You'll have to forgive me for not including a blurb about each, I wouldn't feel right commenting on games that I really have no history with besides playing on the computer.
Number 10: Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
Michael touching kids, and of course Bubbles the Chimpanzee...
Number 9: Beavis & Butt-head
A much better version of the game that what I played on the SNES. It was more like the old Sierra Adventure games, except more crude, and oh yes GWAR!
Number 8: X-Men 2: The Clone Wars
The X-Men games on the SNES were laughable, oh and this one had GAMBIT!!!
Number 7: Streets of Rage
Final Fight was good, but it was only 1 player on the SNES. Streets of Rage was much better cause you and a buddy could slug it out.
Number 6: Vectorman
I just really, really liked the style of this game.
Number 5: Herzog Zwei
Now, I do have experience playing this one. Late nights with my best friend playing the first RTS I ever played = good times.
Number 4: Shadorun
I loved the SNES version of Shadowrun, but this game had a better approach, instead of trying to encompass all of the character types like the SNES linear-RPG, this had more of a sandbox approach.
Number 3: Landstalker
I beat Alundra on the PS ichi, and thought it was better than Zelda in a lot of respects. I was a damn difficult game. Then I found out that the team that made that game also made this one...I was hooked faster than a $20 dollar whore on bingo night.
Number 2: Comix Zone
ZOMG, its like I'm in a comic book, WOW!!!
Number 1: Gunstar Heroes
Fuck yeah, awesome shooter, lots of customization, homing laser FTW!

Number 0: Zero Wing
Words can't describe the sorrow I feel as an American who couldn't get a copy of this magnificently translated piece of work.
Thanks for reading!
