MY TOP 10 GENESIS GAMES - Happy Console Gamer

I'd definitely put Castlevania: Bloodlines and Aladdin in my top 10 list.

Phantasy star 4 is my favourite game of all time, made me a fan of JRPG's the genre that I love to this day.

[@SC0RPI0NFURY]

My first experience with the Phantasy Star series was Phantasy Star online on the Sega Dreamcast and to this say it’s one of my absolute favorite games ever! Too bad i never got into Phantasy Star earlyer

[@HorologicRannygazoo]

Mine, too. My first time I played, the "big moment" with Alys hit me like nothing I'd experienced in a video game (or movie) before. I honestly didn't see that coming.

[@PeteC75]

Love the Revenge of Shinobi pick for #1. That game absolutely blew my mind when it came out on the Genesis. The 16-bit era had truly arrived.

[@GameSack]

Ghouls 'n Ghosts is my favorite game in the Ghosts 'n Goblins series, bar none. That's not to say that Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts isn't amazing, but I feel that regular, non-super Ghouls 'n Ghosts is the best. I have it on the Genesis, SuperGrafx, Master System, Saturn, and the arcade PCB. I've played the X68000 version. I always make sure to complete the game. SuperGrafx version offered me the most challenge because it only offers a couple of continues.

[@kennethbrown4042]

I'm digging the Sword of Vermilion mention! Great RPG game that doesn't get enough credit and really showcases the solid audio capabilities of the Genesis :)

I haven't quite played enough Mega Drive games yet to confidently make a list of my favorites, but I have really enjoyed Phantasy Star IV, Shinobi III, Beyond Oasis, Shining Force, Streets of Rage 1&2, Ristar and Sonic 2. Phantasy Star IV still stands as one of my favorite RPGs.

[@versaleyang]

Try Landstalker and Crusade of Centy if you liked Beyond Oasis, Warsong (Langrisser) 1 and Langrisser 2 (there are english patched ROMs for this one) if you like Shining Force, also Shining Force 2 is better in every way than the first.

[@djeemy]

[@bryanyurcan4363]

Love the Genesis. After the SNES, my favorite console of all time

[@Webhead123]

Revenge of Shinobi is a very respectable pick for #1. Honestly, it might take that crown for me as well. While Shinobi 3 is also a golden title and I love it probably just as much, there is something very timeless to me about Revenge. I think it is sort of the poster child for what the Genesis represented for gamers back in that day. The graphics and music are excellent. The game play is the perfect combination of challenging and rewarding. The bosses are memorable and the finale was really tense. This is one of the first games I think of when I think of Sega and one of the first games I want to boot up when I pick up a Genesis controller.

[@uwr74]

Always good to see some Sega love... If I ever did sit down and think about my own top games for the system I would have to list Herzog Zwei. It would be in my top 5 for sure.

[@noface24]

Sega Genesis was my very first console, so Sonic, Golden Axe and Street of Rage were pretty much what started my love for games. My Genesis died a long time ago (although I still have the physical system somewhere in my home), but I still emulate the games sometimes on Retroarch. Though it will never feel as good as when I was a innocent 6 years old kid, playing Sonic on my mom's old ass CRT TV...

[@BloodyEyeGamer]

My favorite Genesis game is “Wonderboy in Monster World”. Bought it in 1994 while on vacation in Phoenix, AZ when I was 14. I lent it to my younger brother’s friend & he beat it, which made me get into the game as I kept trying to beat it, which eventually I did. The game is a masterpiece. Also, loved the shooter “Vapor Trail”, very very underrated.

[@IgnotusPerIgnotium]

Never owned one..I was kinda of a Nintendo guy...but man do I have Mega Drive memories from my friends..and I admit I wanted one, especially when we played Streets of Rage 2, Story of Thor, Sonic 2 and so many other games!

[@AndyHugRetro]

Great list dude. The Mega Drive is such a special console to me. Christmas 1991 we got the console with Altered Beast, Sonic and Road Rash. To this day my favourite Christmas ever. Makes me super emotional to think about those times

[@Novapoid]

Great list and more importantly, a very entertaining video that gives us the chance to either discover some old gems or remember the ones we have forgotten. I wish I knew Phantasy Star back then, in 2019 I just don't have the patience for the grinding...I wish that saga was remastered. Anyways, from the top of my head, some of my favorite games in Genesis where: Gunstar Heroes, Contra H.C, SFII: CE, Earthworm Jim, Castlevania, Mega bomberman, TMNT: Hyperstone Heist, Yu Yu Hakusho, Road Rash 2 and finally Sonic & Knuckles.

I had a genesis as my first console but never had that many games for it. Most of them were Sonic games. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine was how I got to be such a good Puyo Puyo player. I'm trying to catch up on great games I missed out on via emulator. I really like Alien Soldier, haven't quite finished it yet but it's gotta be one of the best boss rush games I've ever played.

[@LukeDodge916]

Johnny, I'm watching this again because I'm starting to play and collect Genesis games again. I feel hollow in my soul for selling off all my games decades ago, but sometimes it happens. I was a HUGE Genesis fan. I never played a single traditional RPG, however. Always wanted to play the Phantasy Star games and Sword of Vermillion, but never did. I'm changing all of that today. As for Ghouls and Ghosts, it alights my heart with joy to see you speak so fondly of this game. Me and my brother played this the day it came out and skipped school for days after to beat this game. I am in love with it. One final thought, my favorite Genesis soundtrack (and maybe game) is Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse. I hear the music and I swear to god I travel in time to a better era. I'm curious what your favorite Genesis soundtrack is... Oh and are you a daddy yet?!
