+Marlon Rodrigues I was just about to make the same comment. Glad I read the comments first, lol. :)

+Marlon Rodrigues Crazy shinobi 3 isnt on the list

Shinobi 3 is nowhere near as good as Revenge of Shinobi

I have watched a lot of theses top ten list and no love for Shinobi on any of them.

yea but the ending sucked balls especially in us with no credits

br it's like this. no earthworm Jim?! For Shame Watchmojo For Shame!

I think they were aiming for exclusives only for this list. Earthworm jim was only a time exclusive for the Genesis at the time, then SNES got a port.

yep

@@saltysocks1225 hell yeah, earth worm Jim!!!! What about zombies ate my neighbors

What about zombies ate my neighbors?

Uh huh.....i think I’ve played through it I don’t know 100 times? Never gets old. Sarah master monk fucking owns

I loved both of them. Especially 2. But one still holds a special place in my heart.

where you putting your hands?

@@scottytoohotty8510 lmao the Sarah monk. Yeah Shining Force 2 was amazing. Honestly Comix Zone had incredible controls and gameplay as well. It was challenging and short but it was badass nonetheless.

@Scotty Too hotty Completely agree. Master monk Sarah is virtually unstoppable. The most powerful character in the game.

*It’s called blast processing!*

Nuce best Sega game can ut beat Final fight for Snes

@@afriend9428 Ohh no! Never touch the blast processor 🙃

The best came on the console. My favorite was blaze. She just had better moves the rest of them!

***** Me and my cousin played the HELL out of that game. Really awesome. Felt like they took a step back with SOR 3 though, even with all of the "improvements".

the 3 was rock solid

I'm a huge fan of the road rash games, but it doesn't quite make my top 10 mega drive games. Road Rash 2 (my favorite of the road rash series), is in my top 20 mega drive games, just falls short of top 10 in my book, but still great games.

Road Rash 2 is definitely my favorite racing game on the genesis.

Agree. Damn i miss this game even i dont like RTS :)

I agree.The same can be said of Contra:hard corps

Rocket Knight was awesome, I thought it would made at least into the "honorable" list

yeah Rocket knight was a very awesome game

I thought I was alone in this, my cousin had this game...But, I don't know. Any who played it, regardless it was an awesome game...

Completely agree. This game is so underrated, it doesn't make any sense at it is a blast to play and very enjoyable. The universe of it is also very cute and funny.

All 3 streets of rage games are insanely good!!

Streets of Rage 4 is being released this year. I'm Excited and nervous about that.

Gaurdian Heroes is better.

Personally I think Shadow Over Mystara is the best beat 'em up. Also I think DK Country has better music (Aquatic Ambience was a miracle by itself). Nevertheless SoR2 is definitely top 3 of the Genesis and that instantly rise it to the status of a classic.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles's Soundtrack is superior.

mutant league was also a good cartoon !!

+shane womeldorff I loved the mutant league cartoon. Bones Justice and the Razor Kid eating fly tacos and losing limbs. Awesome!

+Ron Rose holy shit...mutant league football. god i remember that....i loved how you could turn the refs into paste

I hear you there. Before new kids were crying over Final Fantasy VII, I was mourning the death of Alys Brangwin and declaring war with Zio the fucking magician. And Shining Force? There isn't an unkind thing you can possibly say about Shining Force. The games have infinite replay value. I've played dozens of times, choosing different combinations of teams. It's never the same game twice. Too bad the franchises ended up working dead-end jobs as Shining in the Darkness and PSU. =/

Wellll for music diversity that wasn’t a good thing. All genesis games sounded the same. The SNES had superior sound chip in that regard. And don’t get me wrong, I love both systems. Just a shame that Sega rushed to get their 16 bit system out before Nintendo and skimped on a few things.

@@My2Cents1 Of course the SNES had a better sound chip. There's a slew of composers who knew what to do with the Mega Drive's hardware limitations like Yuzo Kosiro and Michael Jackson, giving us a few games with legendary music.

@@js1459 Yeah I can't argue with that one. Technical limitations often yield the greatest results. It's why Final Fantasy 6 OST (SNES) is still one of the most listened to scores. It's just that the Genesis was REALLY limited. That same bass and lead synth can be heard in almost every game, and although I totally appreciate that "cozy" familiar feeling it brings, it's still odd that Sega overlooked such an important feature. But... I guess that's part of the charm now. I was obviously a SNES fan way back when. But soon you learn to put those petty preferences aside. I recently bought myself a Sega Genesis Classic Mini, and I'm having amazing fun catching up on titles I missed out on. But, my younger brother had the Genesis and MJ's Moonwalker was so fun. However, I doubt that MJ actually arranged the chip music for the game. Or did he? :P My brother also had another game where the music stood out. I think it was called Arrow Flash.

@@My2Cents1 Michael Jackson originally wrote the score to Sonic 2 but after he listened to it he scrapped it and quit. What a jerk...Glad he did quit because Sonic 2 has a soundtrack I'll never forget.

@@finalnuts6595 Sonic 2's soundtrack was composed by Masato Nakamura not MJ.

Kid chameleon was amazing. One of the best platformers i have ever played.

WhatCulture's list is miles better than this list imo This would be my top 10 roughly (I never owned or played classics like Castlevania: Bloodlines, Aladdin, Gunstar Heroes, Contra: Hard Cops, Earthworm Jim, Michael Jacksons Moonwalker etc so I haven't much of an opinion on them although they do look good. I hate 'Beat em ups' like Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat. And I hate RPG's where you spend more time reading conversations on screen than anything else) 1 - Kid Chameleon 2 - Streets of Rage 2 3 - Sonic 3 and Knuckles 4 - Ecco The Dolphin 2: The Tides of Time 5 - Quackshot, 6 - Desert Strike 7 - Home Alone 8 - Global Gladiators 9 - Road Rash 2 10 - James Bond 007: The Duel Special mentions to: Castle of Illusion, Dynamite Headdy, Comix Zone, Chuck Rock, General Chaos, Golden Axe, James Pond 2: Codename Robocod, Maui Mallard, Taz-Mania, Boogerman, Revenge of Shinobi, Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade...

Kid Chameleon was the shit, I cheated with Game Genie though lol.

Super underrated game. Very difficult too. I recall screaming at that cartridge and tossing my controller many a time. Ah, to be an impetuous child again.

Kid Chameleon 😍😍

exactly

my favorite game of all time what is wrong with game today they may look nice and real but it have no soul to it unlike the 90 and 80 game

Echo the dolphin sucked, how the fok is it on anyones list..

Good list but needs more shinobi

+invanillasky read my list

Sonia ?

c

It's not sonia its sonic

@@ripli3275 joe mama's adventures

It’s Sonic the Hedgehog 2, not Sonia the Hedgehog 2.

After 20 years, SF2 is still one of my favorite games of all time. The first one was great, but 2 did it so much better!

Never saw that Djinn which was shown in this video. Was he only in the american version?

I had so much trouble finding Shining Force 2 growing up (loved the first game). I was a full grown adult before I ever found a copy. Had to make up for lost time with the hours I've spent on it.

+Varg Agreed.

hey you, drop the keyboard....... Super Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Combat 2 should be on this list

ChelseaFC4life24 I believe they are excluded because they were available on other systems.

Zach Bernal but to exclude it from a top ten sega list for that reason...com on now

ChelseaFC4life24 That's the perfect reason, exclusives create the competition.

TOP 10 STEVE BUSCEMI PERFORMANCES

Meh not really XD was just seeing this channel's opinion on top 10 genesis games...I'm surprised streets of rage 2 wasnt in 2 spot while sonic is in 1 because they both have alot of MODS today...like when steam released that Syndicate Boss Edition of some sort where you could play as the enemies and bosses which I thought was awesome!!! Not to forget then sonic has Sonic Mania with tons of MODS as well....I mean sure there are ROM HACKS out there but meh to me...all the same.

I came here after buying the Genesis Mini for Black Friday. I wanted to know the best games worth playing that I hadn't heard of lol.

+Anthony DiMaio Agreed. Still play it to this day. Hell yes Kazin as a sorc.

Hell yeah. Shoulda been Number 1. Like the guy above me I still play it

I agree when I was a kid I played it all the time its beautiful but was too lazy too ever beat Zeon

Yeah! Especially music like in the second level of Freon Ice Scream, and the bosses like Adahan (Scorch) and Uranim (Automaton) were fun.

I just hacked it to get more games I've only gotten sonic 3, so far

Is it worth buying one? I was in game stop (before the pandemic hit) and was looking at one. I also found a Genesis collection for Xbox360 that I ended up buying and am already fed up with it because hardly any of the games on it are worthwhile.

Worth every penny esp if you hack it

iPLAY SEGA!! IKR!!!!

Nah sega sucks ass

***** True because Nintendo didn't turn into a shitty almost bankrupt company but sega did

***** Lol yah alright you gonna murder them yourself little boy that's cute

***** That's cool lol

lol it's just an opinion. YOu post your own video with your opinion top. Voila. So funny people out here

Alucard8319 I wasn't even bashing the list. The only thing I said, was I'm glad Gunstar heroes was on it. Never said, it should be on top. Also, based on your logic, this is my opinion as well,

Only 4 people agreed with you. One a year 😂😂😂👍

Yes!!

+R Moocher2 haha did you see the graphics on most games at the time, very dull and boring, Mackey came along and it was so bright looking and the graphics and gameplay were spot on, it just made a nice change that was all!

+R Moocher2 I didn't say there wasn't any colourful games before that did I? I said most were dull, not all

Yyyyyessss!! Cutest theme ever **Cute side to side dancey**

Quackshot is easily the best of the Disney games. Castle of Illusion in 2nd. Maui Mallard in 3rd.

+Eric Wood I'm gessing Castlevania took it's place on the list lol

VixXstazosJOB I'm sure both deserve a place. Granted, though, picking just 10 best games on this or any platform would be hell..

+Eric Wood Not even an honorable mention :(

I forth that!!

Eric Wood Bulldust. BullDUST. Dust.

Blockhead mine are sonic 2,3 knuckles, 3D blast, spinball, mean bean machine, vectorman 1 and 2, comix zone, decap attack, and streets of rage 2 and 3

@The nice Man Excuse me but it seems that you don't understand the how sonic games work so let me explain Sonic 1 was more about tight platforming sonic 2 was more based speedy game play and sonic 3 was a mix of both but incase you hadn't notice in all of them you have to earn your speed you can't just expect to hold forward and expect to go at break neck speeds (Like modern day 3rd sonic games.) You have to perfectly time your jumps know when to roll and when to run and expect what's coming infront of you that's how you can maintain your speed even as Super sonic you need to follow these rules and that was what made Sonic popular.

Yes sir. rika’s double slash all day

We all know Chaz was banging Rika after the end. haha

Amen, Equals Final Fantasy 6 for the best 16 bit RPG

My favorite game ever, Phantasy Star 4 was outstanding. Music, storyline, graphics, overall gameplay... Best RPG I ever played.

Oh absolutely, it's at least the second best RPG on the system. I know many would say best and I don't begrudge them a bit but I personally gotta put Shinning Force before it. Another glaring omition from the list. Especially since it's sequel which is inferior at least got a HM

Beyond oasis #5 ? U mad bro? That game was insane!

Games4us there is something called an opinion

Streets of Rage #4 THAT GAME WAS AWESOME!

Castlevania Bloodlines should be higher

Shining force 2 should be number one with sonic 3 & knuckles

Earthworm Jim was also on the SNES so it didn't count. Great game though

***** ah yeah i totally forgot it was on SNES.

Me too, considering there were no other Zelda type games on this list.

+Shane Marsh U guys like Beyond Oasis????? It was eh.

+Chris B The Story of Thor was a good game.

I agree. Beyond Oasis (The Story of Thor, here in EU) and Kid Chameleon are so f***ing underrated!

I actually found this game due to this comment. Thanks!

Idk man nealy every super nintendo game looks better

@@jackgraham96 they both have better games it depends what it is some even look ps1

No man. Super nintendo. The literal only thing Sega had on SNES was speed, hence why it was sonic's thing. I'm not speakin on opinion just google spec differences and it's not even close. Also watch high score on Netflix. Great episode on sega.

Super nintendo games look more polished and pretty but i thing sega runs games more smoothly with less fps drops. both are awesome!

I totally agree! Hey, at least they mentioned it.

2

Mutant League football was one of the best games ever! I remembered tackling a monster and his body spilt in half lmho.

Kid chameleon is always to overlooked... Huge amazing game with unbelievable mechanics

Tom and jerry? Show your proof m8te

Probably because Hard Corps is absolutely insanely difficult

*****​ One week practice and you can master it.

09Thewilson No, in fact, it's much easier than original & SNES sequel. In comparison with, say, Alien 3 and Doom Troopers it was like a tutorial in modern games. But still this game was a PERFECT and easily the best Sega Megadrive game ever.

Максим Кузьмин hmm

f. g I agree.

same here, have great memories with that game.

Cyrus The Great I couldn't beat the boss (finger nail guy) such a hard game

Fingernail guy was known as Kung Fung. I didn't think he was all that hard tbh. Just gotta time your jumps right and land your kicks on the way down from those jumps. The world that followed that was mighty tough though. I was able to beat Mortis and save the girl in time (because if you're too slow you can beat Mortis but she still dies = bad ending). That was tough.

Hell yeah, what about zombies ate my neighbors

It is lol.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles is better.

@@infinitemillennium3821 sandopolis sucks

@@chesspunk489 lol it is more like you suck at Sandopolis btw Metropolis is worse.

I enjoyed metropolis but I did not enjoy sandopolis. I hate maze levels in sonic games.

That is one of the worst...

That game was so homosexual

At the Neverland Ranch???

I liked that game. I also liked Altered Beast

Noone is willing to touch anything michael jackson related these days. Loved that game back in the day

Beat a game? On a Sega? What is this madness you speak of?!?

Nice. Games back then were rather difficult.

***** The hardest game under my belt so far is Ninja Gaiden 2 for the 360. The only game I've ever beaten on my SNES is Super Godzilla and thats not even difficult. I cant even beat Spiderman Maximum Carnage

I had to restart like 3 times and it took me 2 years because of the amount of rage I would go through. But once I beat it I felt like I actually accomplished something haha

Yes, Shinobi III should've been here

what about Fatal Labyrinth it's a really good game get an emulator and check it out...

UMK3 in Sega Genesis is very awful game. Snes version os much better.

I'm glad someone mentioned them.

Thanks. And besides, those two games, namely Contra Hard Corps, USUALLY get recognition in a myriad of Top 10 or Top 20 Genesis titles. Rocket Knight Adventures is an underrated Genesis game, but in most cases we see that game on a lot of Top 10s and Top 20s.

Yeah. But Rocket Knight is underrated all round. It should be held in high regard on any videogame list, not just the genesis. That's how I feel about it, anyway. Interesting to note, from what I hear, Rocket Knight was largely formed by the team who went on to become Treasure. After Rocket Knight, they left Konami and made Gunstar Heroes. Well ... so I've heard.

Agree!

A lot of these are on other consoles.

Traxixxxx multi platform games...

What about Shinobi 1 & 2?

He only mentioned games that weren't on other systems. Earthworm Jim was on SNES and PC
