    Streets of Rage 2 is not only one of the most important video games in the history of the genre, but it is truly a magnum opus simulation of how to live a successful and valuable life. To this day, I still engage in fights with random street toughs, before beating up mailboxes and abandoned steel drums, in the vain hope of finding that all important, life healing road apple or street turkey!

    I'm 38 and was a Sega owner. The nostalgia in this video was overwhelming. Thank you :)
  • Earthworm Jim pushed the processor to its limits and maybe even beyond— but the result was fluid, with memorable music and sound effects that were akin to Looney Tunes… this game had it all—nostalgia, replay value, and that addictive gameplay. All set in a hilarious, zany universe of its own. Therefore, that would’ve been my number one.
  • Some of my personal favourites - Shining Force 2, Comix Zone, Shadowrun, Road Rash 3, Golden Axe I and II, Mutant League Hockey, Pirates Gold. These are all awesome.

    Toejam and earl is my fav sega genesis game. It’s such a weird rouge style game, but is so cool. Plus, the soundtrack absolutely slaps!
  • @LordJeet2
    I think Castlevania Bloodlines is extremely underrated and would definitely be there on my list. I loved yours too

    Hmmm my top 10, in no particular order, would be: Gunstar Heros Streets of Rage 2 Castlevania Bloodlines Rocket Knight Adventures Phantasy Star 4 Beyond Oasis Shinobi 3 Contra Hard Corps (JP) Shining Force 2 Landstalker
  • @PhuryousOne
    Revenge of Shinobi might have been my favorite game on the system. Everything about it was great. The music was phenomenal.
  • @rdrap1376

  • @inflintity
    My list in no particular order would definitely have Phantasy Star 2&4, TNMNT, Mortal Kombat 2&3, Contra Hard Corps, Earthworm Jim 1&2, Aladdin, Eternal Champions, Mutant League Football, NBA Jam, Dessert & Jungle Strike, Thunder Force 3&4, Xeno Crisis, Jurassic Park, NHL 94 There are so many great Genesis games, any list is a good list. Great memories.
  • @stugotz28
    Great list. For me I would add Earthworm Jim, Vectorman, Comix Zone, Light Crusader and Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage
  • @ericnorway77
    Phantasy Star IV and Sword of Vermilion were also great. I love the music in Streets of Rage 2!
  • @sinthetic4878
    I always felt Gain Ground never got the love it deserved. It's really a great strategy/puzzle game dressed up like an action/shooter.
  • @LJLMETAL
    Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Mortal Kombat 1+2, Cool Spot, Ecco The Dolphin, Ecco: The Tides Of Time, and Royal Rumble are awesome Sega Genesis Games.
  • @joeperez8072
    My favorite is sonic 3 with sonic and knuckles. Its the perfect sega game. Good story, awesome graphics and gameplay, the ability to save your progress. Then theres being not just super but hyper sonic, tails or knuckles. Its just total perfection
