[KeYbLaDeXaLcHeMi]

Ecco the Dolphin!

 

[SpaceJump]

Flink, Soleil & Shining in the Darkness.

 

[NetShira]

My very favorite was Warsong.. then perhaps second best was Phantasy star series (but I'm an RPG Nut)

 

[neojei]

Alex the Kid!

 

[morcar]

Decap Attack
Herzog Zwei

 

[czechoslovakian7]

Gargoyles!! I'm a huge fan of the Disney animated show, Gargoyles..I guess if you're not really a fan, then you probably won't appreciate it as much.

 

[spas]

STOP JUST STOP

Zero Wing

The absolute hardcore gaming of zero wing!

 

[[M]artin]

ToeJam & Earl 2: Panic on Funkotron

 

[ajjav924]

I agree with you on the phantasy stars. I would always play them in class on my gba. I was a senior in high school and they called me "game boy".

 

[Caoimhin]

And where is Chakan: The Forever Man?

 

[Flozem]

Don't forget the greatest platformer ever: Turrican

 

[Codemasterflex]

Unlisted games:

The "Strike" series:
Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf
Jungle Strike
Urban Strike

Mega Turrican / Turrican 3 (better than Turrican IMO)
Taz-Mania (for a licensed game, it was surprisingly good, probably because it was just like Sonic and made by Sega)
Yu Yu Hakusho Makyoutoissen (awesome fighting game by Treasure in line with Bleach DS - also made by Treasure)

All the others I like are listed.

I agree with you on the phantasy stars. I would always play them in class on my gba. I was a senior in high school and they called me "game boy".

Who needs sex, right?

 

[thomaspajamas]

Kid Chameleon
Landstalker
Toe Jam and Earl
Sonic Series

Best games ever.



and Altered Beast just because of the voice effects
"RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE"
"POWER UP"
and of course, the death scream
"AHHHH"

 

[Hadrian]

Desert & Jungle Strike (never liked Urban)
Biohazard Battle
Theme Park (Not the best version but its the best game of its kinds on MD/Gen)
Herzog Zwei just has to be included, its just amazing.

32X:
Virtua Fighter
Virtua Racing
Star Wars Arcade
Kolibri
Space Harrier
After Burner COmplete

How about Sega CD? If so then:
Snatcher (I pray that this comes to DS)
Sonic CD
Terminator
Robo Aleste
Final Fight CD
Eternal Champions: Challenge From The Dark Side

I'd like to add that Altered Beast is a horrible horrible game, good sound but thats it! Its mindless, repetetive and a waste of time. Most overrated game in my opinion, no idea why how anyone could like it but then life will be dull if everyone agreed with me.

Gynoug

*edit* I seem to recall Alien 3 being particularly good on the megadrive. The snes version was shite

 

[iza]

anyone play the viking game where you had to have the 6 button controller, and it was only possible with 2 people? i cant remember the name. but it was awesome....

 

[avant1277]

Rolling Thunder 2 - one of my favourite games ever. Great style from the outset with the super cool intro. Excellent run and gun gameplay. And tough as nails (for me anyway).

 

[ssoccerh]

rolling thunder 2 was great

and comix zone was one of my favorites
