		what are your all time games for the genesis what games should i have, you know the must haves for all genesis owner

		Link Hylia	Oct 13, 2002
		Sonic the Hedgehog 1&2 Road Rash 1&2 Shining in the Darkness Shining Force series Dungeons and Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun Phantasy Star series Vectorman Streets of Rage Final Fight CD (if you have a Sega CD, cool cut scenes)

		It's really tough to make a "must-haves for all Genesis owners", since not all people like all genres. In general I'd agree with Link's list, and add: Gunstar Heroes Contra: Hard Corps Castlevania Bloodlines Dynamite Headdy Beyond Oasis / The Story of Thor Landstalker

		Zziggy00	Oct 13, 2002
		In no particular order: Gunstar Heroes Bomberman Sonic 2,3,and Sonic & Knuckles X-men NHL '94 Aladdin NBA Jam T.E. Street Fighter II Championship Edition

		IceDigger	Oct 13, 2002
		Too many to list

		First off, Link, Shining in the Darkness is part of the Shining series. It's the first one in the series. Second, Mr. Mort, Guardian Heroes is a Saturn game (although a VERY VERY VERY good game). I think u meant Gunstar Heroes.... Anyways, back to the topic. Toejam and Ealr is a classic. Zoop is a bad-ass puzzle game. Pit-Fighter is a good one also. Just get an emu and download a bunch of games to see which one u want.

		Yes Shining in the Darkness is the first "shining" game it also had a 3d dungeon crawler sequal, Shining in the Holy Ark, for Saturn, I believe. Quite fun. and the same artistic style was used in the sequals Shining Force, and it's sequals.

		Thunder Force IV, Streets Of Rage 2, Mega Turrican, Red Zone, Alien Soldier-(If you can find it! Only made in Japan.), Shadow Dancer, and my personal favorite: Shadowrun!-(I wasted many hours on this game playing on my Nomad.)

XMEN 2: CLONE WARS (XMEN 1 SUCKS HARDER Acidics!!!)

X-men 2 was much easier, had worser graphics and no gameplay.

		WiseMan	Oct 29, 2002
		OMG i think there must be some confusion here about the xmen games. the xmen game im thinking of is the one where u start off in the virtual training area which turns into a jungle and u play as gambit, cyclops, storm or wolverine. xmen2 clone wars where u begin in the snow right when u turn on the megadrive, has FAR superior graphics sound and animation. so are we talking about the same games here or what? maybe u mean the snes game? anyone else care to comment?

We are.

X-men 2 is way more grainy.

Plus it was too easy.

X men 1 had me confused for a month before I figured out Professor X was trying to tell you to press reset on the Megadrive >_<

Plus you play as Gambit, Wolverine, cyclops and Nightcrawler
