A Wierd Kid's Top 10 -- Genesis Games
Excremento | 11:28 PM on 09.03.2007 1 comments




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!

Oh man Gunstar Heroes FTW!!1! That game is still the number one reason I have a Genesis, it was also the first game I got up and running on the Dreamcast Genesis emu... and loaded on the Xbox Genesis Emu... oh yeah on the PSP Genesis Emu also... Shadowrun is phenomenal too... if any one out there hasn't played the Genesis version, do. I remember playing it on the Sega Channel and having to spend two months playing just that game since you could only store one save file on their servers. Good Stuff!

 about me



Greeting true believers!

My real name is Xopher Reed. I've been a videogame acolyte for as long as I can remember. I have well over 25 years of video game experience starting with the Commodore 64 and Intellivision. I can look back at my life year by year and remember fondly what game I was playing at that point in my existence.

Not being content with my sitting on my ass and not proclaiming to the world my views on the gaming industry was the reason I started a blog here on Dtoid. After seeing that my personal blog was going nowhere, I decided that the community here on Destructoid was the only way to go. I'm still here, updating as often as I can for all of your enjoyment.
