@@KroyGamer79 I agree this was one of the first ones and there was a limited save/password type feature and there was no internet or book for cheat codes. You had to immerse yourself in the game.
So difficult to list just 20 but good list. These are all excellent examples of what the Genesis was capable of in the right programming minds/hands. Seriously, these are very comparable games if not exceeding what was found on the Neo Geo AES and I have that too. Both the Genesis & Super Nintendo (& TurboDuo) delivered hundreds of AAA games.
100% agree. I enjoyed playin Genesis games as I enjoyed SNES ones. Some of these games have amazing graphics, IMO the graphics in The Adventures of Batman & Robin are superb.
Streets of rage 2/3, Mega turrican, Mickey mania, super street fighter 2, eternal champions, maui mallard, sonic 3, Shinobi 3, biohazard, zero tolerance, sub terrania, soleil..
The list is full of third party games. Batman and Robin, Contra, Flashback...none of those are first party. All of the treasure games. Not sure if Sega published, but they certainly didnt develop those internally.
Very good top 20, only very nice games. But for a selection of the Megadrive's best graphics, some games are missing, 4 in particular. Rocket knight Streets of rage 2 Flink Shinobi 3
Many people doesn't remember that game because it was released when 32bit consoles were on fire but it's a good game, very different from the first part.
@@MakaimuraKiu согласен🤝, но от этого игра только круче!!! СЕГА выдала, всё что может на этой игре! Большой открытый мир, а уровни с боссами это вообще фантастика, Мой любимый этап это Rouge Road, фантастика!
Sonic 3D blast should be off this list as it was ugly even back in the day and replaced with Streets of Rage 2 and Ecco the Dolphin was one of the best looking 16-bits games ever made.
@@MakaimuraKiu Way more, its a perfect example what a Sega Mega Drive / Genesis can do - it was not for nothing that Zyrinx pointed out in the start screen what they could conjure up on a standard device.
If you did a top 20 16 bit graphics games, maybe 5 of these would make the list Im not talking about game quality, but SNES had better graphics in most cases. Contra Hardcorps looks like garbage compared to contra 3. Castlevania bloodlines doesnt look better than either Super Castlevania or Castlvania Dracula X. FF3, Chronotrigger and Seiken Densetsu 3. Hell SF Alpha 2 on SNES is amazing graphically. I think Sonic 3 should be higher, art style goes a long way. Aladin is pretty impressive graphically. Im not knocking the games, or even the graphics shown here, but the SNES being able to do more colors and effects really shows. Speed and performance might have been better on a Genesis due to the faster coprocessor, but it was the rare genesis game that looked better than a SNES game from an equally competent dev. Some did, Earthworm Jim, but that has to do with the presentation and aspect ratio in many (not all) cases.
Well SNES was released 2 years after Genesis so the better performance was because of more advanced technology. I know SNES had better graphics but this is a list to show Genesis graphic power and how some companies (Treasure, Traveller Tales...) made the most of the console.
If it was a top 20 with all 16-bit games included, then the list would be a lot more diverse than just SNES and Genesis. There's also PC Engine with the CD add-on and the Neo Geo, the arcades and even home computers like the Amiga. If it's just consoles, it's still four of them, not two.
Sonic 3 is probably graphically more advanced than Sonic 1 or 2, but, like you said, "art style goes a long way", and I think Sonic 3 is artistically the ugliest of the bunch. So, personally, I most certainly wouldn't put it higher. It's one of maybe only a couple games I arguably don't think should have even been on the list and could have been replaced with more graphically impressive games like Rocket knight and Shinobi 3 for example. I'm not feeling it with Sonic 3 basically.
Earth warm Jim entered the chat...
Judge dread entered the chat...
Bugger man entered the chat...
The Lion King entered the chat...
And so on ...
@@KroyGamer79 I agree this was one of the first ones and there was a limited save/password type feature and there was no internet or book for cheat codes. You had to immerse yourself in the game.
Flashback was probably my favorite. It got me into the adventure type games.
Yep Flashback was a big surprise, not only because of the graphics (which are very good) but also because there were no games of this type in 16-bit.
Good list of games. But in most cases music sound incorrect, on my real Sega Mega Drive and Emulators it sound less distorted...
Sorry for that, thanks for your comment.

Eternal Champions, Earthworm Jim, and any Disney game made by Disney Studios should be on this list.
Mickey Mania
Yep also great graphics. Amazing Disney's games on Genesis.
I still play it
Streets of rage 2/3, Mega turrican, Mickey mania, super street fighter 2, eternal champions, maui mallard, sonic 3, Shinobi 3, biohazard, zero tolerance, sub terrania, soleil..
There are so many games sega genesis always show incredible graphics❤
Yep, in the correct hands Genesis can make amazing graphics.
Earthworm Jim should be on this list - is it cause its 3rd party? Flashback is on this list - good list some games haven't heard of
The list is full of third party games. Batman and Robin, Contra, Flashback...none of those are first party. All of the treasure games. Not sure if Sega published, but they certainly didnt develop those internally.
Earthworm Jim may have been on the list I had to make a 20 games selection. No matter 3rd party.
Very good top 20, only very nice games.
But for a selection of the Megadrive's best graphics, some games are missing, 4 in particular.
Rocket knight
Streets of rage 2
Flink
Shinobi 3
Yep all those games could have been on the list. Rocket Knight is so fun.
I agree with you. The video's selection is almost perfect but missing of those titles (in which put Mickey Mania, The Lion King and The Jungle Book)
@@claudiocarroccio5251 Mickey Mania graphics are awesome.
Jurassic Park :Lost world, top!!!))

@@НиколайНиколаевич-э6г Yep, good game and great graphics.
Sega.. demaciado bueno para su tiempo...
Para mí Sega tuvo dos hitos en su historia (de hardware me refiero) la Mega Drive (y su catálogo) y posteriormente la Dreamcast.
😊 Très sympa cette vidéo ,sur de bons jeux Sega Megadrive !
Merci pour le soutien.

Earthworm Jim 1... Miraculous graphics, Too many colors, without external renderer, chips, etc...
Which one had better graphics according to you Earthworm Jim 1 or 2?
@@MakaimuraKiu One
@@luizcarlosdasilvaalmeida4930 Yep, so colorful graphics.
Nice games indeed,but where in the lord's name is earthworm jim???
Where would you have ranked it?
@@MakaimuraKiu in the top 5,no less
Great list of MD/GEN games
Mickey mania, paprium...
Where is mega turigan in that list....??😊
Never played Turrican. Are good games? I think they are hard to beat.
@@MakaimuraKiumega turrican is the best turrican game ever. It s not too difficult. I ve finished it a lot of times..
Zero Tolerance must be here! :)
I never played it, is it good?
@@MakaimuraKiu it is perfect and very technologicall game, IMHO
Video is really blurry, and someone else mentioned the music issue. But fun list anyway - thanks for the video
Thanks for the support.
I like how all your videos are 11:33
Thanks, consistency is important xD
@@MakaimuraKiunumerology
No Red Zone?
It may have been on the list. This game has a good illusion of depth.
@@MakaimuraKiu Way more, its a perfect example what a Sega Mega Drive / Genesis can do - it was not for nothing that Zyrinx pointed out in the start screen what they could conjure up on a standard device.
Hey WTF?! Where Earth Worm Jim, Where Aero Acrobat , Where Another World?!
I'd add F1 Championship and streets of rage 2
What position would you have put F1 Championship in?
Rocket knight adventure
shinobi 3 return of the ninja master
I would add to the list Mortal Kombat II, Earthworm Jim, Shinobi III, Donald in Maui Mallard.
Agree, Donald in Maui Mallard great graphics and animations.
The Best is Flink
Do u like Flink? I think is an Amiga port.
What no RoboCop Vs terminator
What position would you have put him in?
Gun star hero. Vectorman helicopter boss?
What? I don't understand your comment.
I'm impressed by many games!
Genesis had many impressive games, The Adventures of Batman & Robin graphics are amazing.
Virtua Racing looked like ass back then and looks even worse now. That game is terrible.
In 1994 that graphics in a 16-bit console were amazing.
F1 Championship looks great considering no extra chip
Crusader of centy ?
Where would you have ranked it?
@@MakaimuraKiu Before That 3D F1 game for sure. Xd
comic zone??
It's number 14th 03:36
Surprised Strider is not the top or even mentioned at all.
Do u think has good graphics? What position would you put it in?
If Strider is not on the list then the list is flawed. Period
@@02drpyroWere Strider's graphics that good?
D O E S
xDD
16 bit racecar sad.
Where is MK 2 ? The best graphics in Sega
Where would you rank MK 2?
