Top Genesis Games
Sega Genesis (Mega Drive), including Sega CD titles. After my time with the NES, I purchased a Sega Genesis. While the NES was great, the Genesis, along with the excellent SNES, were truly the best years in gaming for me.

Fantastic music, varied level design, and gameplay superior to that of Final Fight. I didn't like the whole calling for backup thing, but you can easily choose to not use that. I know I'm odd, but I actually like this more than Streets of Rage 2; primarily due to the music in this one.
One of my favorite RPGs. Love the "cutscenes", and the combat is actually quite nice with spell combos, and so forth. Something I really liked about the Phantasy Star series was how it continued in the same world, and you got to see various changes in their world(s), as time went on, even hearing about the heroes you played as in the older titles.
Superb music, great action and some amazing level design for the time. Probably my favorite ninja game on any system. This was the first game that I purchased for the Sega Genesis and it remains a top pick.
One of those games that made SNES players envy their Genesis friends. (Fortunately, I had both.) I remember coming home from the store, opening the box and finding a Fruit Rollup inside. What a great surprise! An excellent game, with great variety in level design, fantastic graphics, sound, and play control. It even has a board game level.
The combat is far improved over that of "Revenge of Shinobi", the gameplay/levels are more varied, and the music is pretty good. (Though not Yuzo Koshiro standards). For some reason, I still like "Revenge of Shinobi" more.
A tad too difficult for my tastes, but not a bad game at all.
Sega CD
Too easy, but good.
An excellent X-Men title. The way the game began was fairly unique, but I would rather they placed that level after the title screen.
Possibly not canon story-wise, but it wasn't nearly as bad as people made it out to be. The multi-generational idea was quite neat and the music was excellent.
I found the combat too frequent and repetitive for my liking, but it's a fine game other than that. The grinding is really annoying, so even though it's a better game, I'm putting it below Phantasy Star III! CRAZY TALK!!
I want to rate this higher, but I've not yet played enough to fully gauge where I should place it.
