Great video, awesome selection! You even got my favorite Genesis game, Ranger-X, which also happens to be one of the most beautiful games in the console, with a very interesting art style.
Great list, I have no idea what to boot up on my MiSTer for Genesis because (outside of Sonic and Streets of Rage) that library passed me by. Thanks for the recommendations!
I was 12 in 1992 when I got my SEGA Genesis bundled with Streets of Rage 2, always been a SEGA fan up to this day. Thanks for the recommendations sometimes I get lost in what new games to play considering we have access to every single Genesis MegaDrive ever made worldwide.
1st of all, Columns is my absolute favorite puzzle game. Idk how but I was *dirty* at this game. I beat all my friends in vs mode and I got such crazy high scores. I loved this game: SO FUN! Also, I too enjoy Venus letting you know that her beam is in fact a beam. Every. Single. Time.
Thanks for the reminder of Alien Storm, totally forgot about that one. It’s so fun and unique, really did the alien type graphics great. Cyborg Justice is one I’ll add, it’s a battle genre game like mortal combat but you get to build your characters. Seems like a similar world to Alien Storm so possible the same creators.
@@theSHELFables YEAH it Took me ages to Get the Full Ending it felt Like a Year Some of THE BEST Boss Fights Ever especially the Coyote Guy and the Falcon Dude with the Spear. and the music my man the music. and the fact that She could only Grab and Shake was a great Idea.
Got a bit sceptical at first when you started with Alien Storm and Mystic Defender (good games but both feel kinda old today and have some early title symptoms imho) but this is really solid list overall with a real nice mix of classics and hidden gems. If I was stuck on a deserted Island and could pick 10 of these to bring with me, i wouldn't complain. Would have added the Rolling Thunder games (2 for coop, 3 for single player) Atomic Runner and King Colossus as some great but easily overlooked games.
@@theSHELFables Thanks i just bought the Sega Genesis Collection for my PS 5 cant wait for just 27 Euros 50 + Genesis Games i mainly bought it For ToeJam and Earl and the Streets of Rage Games but i will TRY Shinobi 1 and 3-
@@dodgykebaab yep! This is just one pass of crt-easymode.glsl. I never want to get too crazy with it since TH-cam compression is a thing. Thanks for checking out the video btw!
@@moverofobjects it's been a while since I played Elemental Master but iirc that one auto scrolls. Twinkle Tale does not. It's closer to something like Mercs or Ikari Warriors
@theSHELFables interesting, check out some footage of the two side by side. Even the music of twinkle tale seems very technosoft. Looks like a great game either way. I got my Genesis on release in '89 and never even heard of this game!

Thanks for checking out the video and yeah Ranger X rules
Gleylancer was an immediate fave, it hits the ground running and never lets up on quality. This is a great list and I've saved it to watch again
@@MunkiZee Gleylancer looks really cool. I love the aesthetic. Thanks for watching and your kind words!
Beyond Oasis, Haunting starring Polterguy, X-Men 2, Comix Zone, Cyborg Justice, NBA Jams & Streets of Rage 2 are my absolute favorites on the Genesis
@@Toaster81 awesome picks. I've never played Polterguy but it looks like a pretty unique game tbh
Nice video man. great list
@@wizardwor511 thank you!

Lol sounds like this one was specifically for you then! Thanks for watching, J!

Happy to give Columns its due. I don't hear people talk about it as fondly as other puzzlers but it's really great.
Solid list. My additions would have been Aladdin and Robocop vs The Terminator
I have actually never played RvT. I should fix that.
We never had a genesis (though I did get a dreamcast and loved it) so it's cool to see a comprehensive list of the things i missed out on.

Oh yeah Cyborg Justice is the one where you can steal parts right? That rules.
Glad to see some Genesis RPGs get some love. SNES gets a lot of a love, and understandably so, but some of the best 16 bit experiences are on Genesis.
Shining Force specifically hooked me GOOD when I went back to it for footage. May have delayed the video a little lmao
I played Gunstar Heroes a lot it had a Similar Game on the N 64 called Mischief Makers Loved them both.
@@sheldoncooper8199 Mischief Makers is great! Treasure made both games and I love their distinct style. Thanks for watching!

Dragon's Revenge is a great pinball game on Genesis. The Immortal also rules if you can really sit down with it and engage with it on its terms.
I've been meaning to check out The Immortal. That game looks awesome

I appreciate you checking out the video! King Colossus in particular looks awesome. I'm def going to check that one out.
i would add Castlevania Bloodlines and ToeJam and Earl 1 and 2 basically my Childhood age 10 to 14. and Sonic 2.
Can't argue with those picks!

Poor Vectorman didn't even get a mention.
@@agent42q he made it into the intro!
@theSHELFables nobody loves vectorman
Is that RetroArch?
If so, what’s the name of the scanline filter you are using?

Twinkle tale looks like a re skin of elemental master 🤔

What about Soleil?
@@MuhammedBinMohamed fun fact: I almost named my character John Soleil instead of John Centy during that section lol. Thanks for watching btw!
Please skip the housekeeping, it's completely pointless
I went through the trouble of making timestamps so you can skip to the games if that's all you're interested in
I’ve been trying to figure out that game I rented and loved that one Halloween when I was a kid… Crusader of Centy!! Thank you 🫡
@@NikolaiVolkovski haha happy to see this kind of comment tbh. Thanks for checking out my video
