As a couple of people have pointed out, #70 (3:00) is mislabelled - it should be "Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom" --- *not* Phantasy Star II. Thanks to @Tyler Fitts and @Reydal Sandoval!
No Sparkster or Busters Hidden Treasure or Decap Attack or Animaniacs or Lion King or Toy Story or Earthworm Jim 2 or Batman or Maui Mallard or Greendog or Maximum Carnage or Castle of Illusion?.... just goes to show the Mega Drive had way too many amazing games to all fit in a top 100. Such a great system
2 games that are always underrated in these lists are: Sonic 3 & Knuckles: By far the best Sonic game on the system but came late in the consoles life and nowhere near as many played it as Sonic 2. Streets of Rage 3: So many people struggled with the difficulty and didn’t stick with it but this is definitely the best of the trilogy.
GENERAL CHAOS!!!! you have no idea how many times i have racked my brain trying to remember the name of that game! I thank you kind sir! Great video 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
When I wait for new video I rewatch your older stuff. I didn't play much games as a kid,few at arcades,and on friend's Amiga,but when I watch your videos I can see beauty of pixel art. This graphic hold up really well, much better then early polygon graphic from PS1/N64 era. I ordered yesterday Mega Drive collection of 50 games for PS4. Can't wait to try some of this awesome titles.
Totally 100%! That's why I've been posting screenshots from old arcade games - the graphics are just beautiful. You'll have a great time with that Mega Drive collection!!
A LOT of big hitters for me personally in here, v.glad to see Phantasy Star IV and Shining Force doing so well! Legendary games. Me, I would subtract a few here, and stick in Dune II:- Battle For Arrakis, Pitfall:- The Mayan Adventure, 2 Crude Dudes, Puggsy, Chakan:- The Forever Man, Fatal Labyrinth, and Robocop Vs. Terminator, can't believe none of them made it! 😄
Oh my goodness this brings back memories. I remember playing Kid Chameleon with my younger brother back in the early 90s. I think probably that hearing all the different game music is what really hits those high nostalgia notes! Haha
This question is adressed to the dedicated sega fans: Do you remember a game with a kid having wings, tail and horns ? i distinctly remember that one stage was with a luna park. Sorry i used to have a crisp memory, but now my memory start to fading.
I remember being 10 and my dad randomly showing up with a big plastic tub full of sega genesis games. Had something like 70 games. I recognize a shit ton here. So many memories of taking boxes of pizza and bottles of pepsi into the living room to play Sonic 2 and Vectorman. Heading to Blockbuster to pick up Home Alone and Good Burger for the VHS. Staying up late watching Friday's on Cartoon Network Fuck I'm old. 😪
okay they got this all wrong lemme fix #1 Kid Chamaeleon #2 Strider #3 Toe Jam and Earl #4 Shinobi 3 #5 Golden Axe 2 #6 SplatterHouse 2 (not even on the list wtf) #7 Mutant League Football #8 Ghouls and Ghosts #9 Golden Axe #10 Zombies at my neighbors
Are you joking, where is others; Terminator vs robocop, alien storm, atomic runner, toki, mickey mania, chuck rock 1&2, donald in maui mallard, bubsy 2, jungle book.
(here comes text) I've played a lot of mega drives in my life, I didn't get this time anymore I played on mega drive emulators, man I like these games, from mouth to mouth when I see these games, haha, I really like this mega drive already played sonic, streets of rage, mario (oops, huh buddy) I like these games very much thanks, when I see these videos of your 100 games, I download them on my cell phone all of them for me to play on my emulator, you're awesome gary, I hope you make more videos like this ........ (I hope ...)
Loved to see the sonic games scoring so high, they were my favorites too. I expected a higher score for ecco the dolphin, rock n roll racing and splatterhouse III. Eternal Champions was a lot better for me than MKII where the AI cheated us
I got it about 3 weeks ago and it terrified me.mor creeped me out a little at least. The "yeeeeeessss", the spinning arm rubbish Konami and treasure were apparently obsessed with. And the bear thing that looks more like a cat thing and says "hooks". And some of the music.
I'm not 100% on including multiple entries of the same series. Like having all Mortal Kombat or all Street Fighter titles. Makes the list full of sequels. Just pick the superior one to make room for other titles.
@@bangerbangerbro Sure, but like I said it makes a list full of sequels. It's not very interesting and excludes alot of fun or unique titles from making the cut.
@@bangerbangerbro No, just pick which ever game is considered superior and put that on the list. For example, if Mortal Kombat 2 placed #10 on the list and MK1 is only #29, then obviously people like MK2 more. I understand including a sequel if its unique and stood on it's own. Like say Super Mario Bros 2, which is very different from the 1st and 3rd games. (and yes, I know Mario 2 USA is Doki Doki Panic) My point is, it doesn't make for a interesting video when every other game on the list is a sequel. Alot of other great games get pushed aside because people wanna vote based on nostalgia instead of what's actually the best of the best for the system.
I agree with the sonics. At least it is actually possible to get anywhere in Sonic 3D. And you can have fun playing it. Spinball is a pain. I have both eccos but I haven't managed to get into them. Same with Dynamite Headdy.
Someone else asked the same question about Phantasy 2 vs 3 - I'm pretty sure it's 2 - but I'll double check with the person who created the clip for me. And the red/black just means "the text was not readable in white - so it had to be black or red to be seen"
I've checked back and yes - you are correct! The label is incorrect - it should be Phantasy Star III. I will post a note. Thanks for pointing this out!
@@eljugadordelaviejaescuela8765 Bueno es que el top está basado en votaciones de gamefaqs, era previsible el resultado como el SNES que siempre acabará en primer lugar A link to the Past
In my opinion, the title "Alien Soldier" is totally hyped. I see nothing special on it and I even dont like it. Same with the "Shining"-titles. As soon there is the word "Shining" in the title, people freak out. Shining Force, Shining in the Darkness, at least Shining. And I never liked RPG-games, so that Phantasy-garbage is nothing I really need.

Such a shame most of us were only afforded one system back in the day, a lot of these look great.
@Neo Bolshevik lol, I hear you.

Why the fuck does everyone STILL loves Sonic 2 over 3 & Knuckles?!
I mean, as good as 2 is, 3 & Knuckles was a heavy improvement!

case solved! I found the game i was looking for and its the Marvel Land! Highly recommended btw!.
I needed it! Thank you Gary!.
Chiki Chiki Boys was always a favorite of mine.
I spent so much time on my mega drive as a kid, it's a wonder I had time for school.
Excelente lista ! O mega drive ainda continua um grande console aqui no Brasil.
I remember being 10 and my dad randomly showing up with a big plastic tub full of sega genesis games. Had something like 70 games. I recognize a shit ton here.

Fuck I'm old. 😪
I didn't have a huge collection of Sega games but i guess I had good taste, bc the ones I owned from this list were all rated really highly lol
0:23 IT'S VECTORMAN!!!
okay they got this all wrong lemme fix
#1 Kid Chamaeleon
#2 Strider
#3 Toe Jam and Earl
#4 Shinobi 3
#5 Golden Axe 2
#6 SplatterHouse 2 (not even on the list wtf)
#7 Mutant League Football
#8 Ghouls and Ghosts
#9 Golden Axe
#10 Zombies at my neighbors
Best console of all time imo
StrayGamer it was the console of my childhood absolutely so the feelings all come back watching this!
This is my favourite console without even needing nostalgia.
@@bangerbangerbro yeah im definitely past the nostalgia stage and the genesis is still homerun city
Megadrive has some great Japanese games on it try osomatsukun and magical hat also wani wani world. Brilliant games. great video gary
Still no love for the HELLFIRE, the greatest shoot em up .... EVER
Are you joking, where is others; Terminator vs robocop, alien storm, atomic runner, toki, mickey mania, chuck rock 1&2, donald in maui mallard, bubsy 2, jungle book.
Simc Nova just goes to show how great the system is that it easily has more than 100 amazing games
Bubsy II sucks though lol.
Ok. Alright. Sonic 3, Sonic and knuckles, and Sonic 3 and knuckles included as separate entries.
Why are no tiny toon games and fantastic dizzy on this list, I can't believe people did not rate them in top hundred

I'm glad you enjoy these videos! Thanks for watching!
Thank you! You are awesome friend !!
I love Sonic 2. It's my favorite Sonic game and I love that it's #1. My personal favorite Genesis game is NBA JAM TE.
Alisia dragon should be in top 10 and its not even on the list wow
True.
Also Dahna Megami tanjou and Blades of vengeance, at least they putted El Viento in it...
Loved to see the sonic games scoring so high, they were my favorites too. I expected a higher score for ecco the dolphin, rock n roll racing and splatterhouse III.
Eternal Champions was a lot better for me than MKII where the AI cheated us
Wait wait wait....Toejam and Earl is better than Streets of Rage?! Nah, not a chance in hell!
Somethings about dynamite heady used to terrify me as a child😕

"Genesis sucks" Sir take a seat and look at the top 100.
You're welcome
Robocop vs Terminator -- Jurassic Park-Rampage Edition
Number 70 has the wrong name. That's Phantasy Star III.
No one ever puts a baseball games in there. Sports talk baseball is pretty good. Greendog is another one.

It's based on a vote.

Sure, but like I said it makes a list full of sequels. It's not very interesting and excludes alot of fun or unique titles from making the cut.
@@ekahnoman7331 So you mean the vote should have only allowed series and not individual games?

@@ekahnoman7331 Ah, Ok then. But I suppose it is who decides which games are different enough to be counted on their own.
79 & 19 are both Phantasy Star 2
Sonic spinball better than 3D blast?.. i don't think so.....
Also in my opinion Ecco games deserve to rank far better...
I agree with the sonics. At least it is actually possible to get anywhere in Sonic 3D. And you can have fun playing it. Spinball is a pain. I have both eccos but I haven't managed to get into them. Same with Dynamite Headdy.
Hubieran varias cosas que serían catalogadas como pecado, en todo caso, no fue un mal top
3:00 is it phantasy II or III? Also what does the red/black on a few of these games?
Someone else asked the same question about Phantasy 2 vs 3 - I'm pretty sure it's 2 - but I'll double check with the person who created the clip for me. And the red/black just means "the text was not readable in white - so it had to be black or red to be seen"
#70 is 3 for certain, #19 is 2.
I've checked back and yes - you are correct! The label is incorrect - it should be Phantasy Star III. I will post a note. Thanks for pointing this out!
I gotta be honest. Sunset Riders Arcade is better than the version that appeared here
Is very superior, but, this is different and not is bad
@@elianandres4326 Maybe you're right. I have to give it a shot
@@manuelacuna4080 yes! And shadow dancer is different and good too!
@@elianandres4326 I'm gonna die a lot, but it will be worth it.
@@manuelacuna4080 yes, genesis have very good arcade games.
I love Ranger-X
Not bad for a system released around 1988.
parabens mais um excelente video
NBA Live 98 is terrible compared to 96 version.
Where is Fifa Soccer Mega Turrican , XMen ,and Zero Tolerance?
turricans so under-rated, better than metroid imo
no flintstones?castle of ilusions?
No Out of this World?
Admit this is the best game
I think number 70 is phantasy star 3
Hmm ... I'll double check with the person who made the clip and post a correction if the video is wrong. Thanks for pointing it out!
@@GaryRetroGamer just a typo, Phantasy Star II is closer to the front of the list.
@@tyrus82 Ah, yes - thank you! I'll put an error note up.
Shinobi 3 is better than toe jam and earl.
Ghost n Ghost isn't Capcom on Megadrive but sega reprogramed the game
.
Lol Sonic Spinball. And altered beast.
Tks... :)
wers Dragon Ball lapell du destin?? !?? i played like 50 h,
and like 150h streetfighter2NC
not a single title featuring ARNOLD ?!
