Castle of Illusion was my Genesis bundle pack in 1990 and it was absolutely mind blowing, there was no other platformer visually on its level at the time, nor sound wise. Only Sonic went on to beat its visuals a year later and even that game borrowed elements from Castle of Illusion. A true masterpiece I will forever hold dear.

@videogameobsession8 ай бұрын
Maybe I missed these, but if not, I really think they belong in the Top 25. Lost World: Jurassic Park (Honestly does some of the most impressive graphical effects on the Genesis/MD), Strider.. (This blew me away, and I owned a Neo•Geo AES before Strider hit my Genssis!. :) ), Mickey Mania (Very nice graphics. It didn't play as tightly as Castle of Illusion, but the graphics were more impressive IMO. The rotating tower effect, excellent, as was the bonus stages, where Mickey is running towards the screen with a cool rolling 3D effect, and finally, Batman & Robin.. Probably the best looking Genesis game. Using all of tricks that the Genesis could muster!

For me, I honestly believe, Atomic Runner is the most impresive looking game. The colorign doesn't seem to have any limitations. In rounded columns you can see how the colors shades down seameslly. Also Crusaders of Centy is a very beautiful game to look at. TMNT and Rocket Knight are also marvels.

I would take a look at Streets of Rage 2, it is really impresive, and the improvement in graphics department from the first instalment is huge. Also second part of ToeJam is really impresive. Other impresive games are Earthworm Jim series. Really nice. Kawasaki superbikes, has some amazing poligonal graphics without extra chips, all with a smooth framerate. Another fantastic looking game from Disney is World of Illusion, incredible and also playable with a friend. Then in recent times, some amazing games have been released for Megadrive/Genesis, and are really impresive: Paprium, a beat em up that is difficult to beleave it is running on a megadrive, or Xenocrisis a Smashtv style game with amazing graphics, sound and playability. Also Demons of Asterborg, an amazing game (120 Mbits, for reference, biggest game during the comercial live was Super Street Fighter 2 with 40Mbit).

Sega's issue was not graphics or processing power, but audio! SG beat SNES on processing power. Don't know who had the better graphics(probably depends on the game), but the SNES beat SG in audio by far in most games. It showed up in the character audio(beat em ups and fighting games, most notably). Beat em ups are one of my favorite types of game and--in these 2 game types--the problem happens with every attack and action! Like an older system did the audio! Even if I thought SOR was a better series than FF, I'd still rather play FF if I felt that way(because I notice the differences in the audio in the 2 games)...The 2 consoles were close in a head-to-head, but audio is a major deal; if you don't believe me, then you have never audibly compared a fighting game/beat em up on the 2 systems and you're to young to know the differences in a mono recording and a stereo/hi-fi stereo recording...

Going through a $79 Analogue Dock with those effects can yield the next best thing to a $750 RetroTINK4K. At least IMO.
