    Genesis

    Platform »

    After the cult success of their 8-bit Master System, Sega decided to give gamers a taste of their arcade capabilities with a 16-bit console. Known worldwide as the Mega Drive but called Genesis in the US, it provided graphics and sound a couple of steps below their popular System 16 arcade cabinets. The Mega Drive/Genesis turned out to be Sega's most successful console.

    Best of the best for Genesis/Mega Drive?

    So I kind of bid on a mega drive 1 assuming I'd be outbid but fate being the joker it is I ended up winning. The auction I won included Sonic so I'm not gameless but I'd like to buy some stuff so I come to you, oh GB community to ask you what you would aim to get were you in my position?

    Cyborg Justice

    It's not really a classic but I remember having tons of fun building my own robots (out of a few preset parts) and kicking some robot ass with friends.

    Man it seems finding Toe Jam and Earl for megadrive for less than 40 bucks is a challenge. Oh well that can be a long term goal

    The Thunderforce series, pretty sure it had the best version of Micro Machines also being able to take the first 3 Sonic games and jam them into the top of the Sonic and Knuckles cart was some fucking black magic. Also Super H.Q. (or Chase H.Q. II).
