the Shining Force games are must buys. also, just because Sonic sucks now, don't forget 1-3 were really good. one of my other faves was Outlander, an awesome mad max type game. real cool stuff. other gems include the immortal shooting masterpeice that was Musha. Ecco the dolphin was good, also try any Road Rash game.

Golden axe, robocop vs the terminator, earthworm jim, and of course the sonic games. Get the arcade stick, also get Musha Aleste... It is only the price of a xbox360 games, which is actually very cheap for how good it is. I paid about 30, but I didnt regret it. Go now, there is only one offer. Or an ebay auction for like 22 dollars, but most likely it will constantly go up. By the time you getthis message, the offer will be gone most likely.

Sonic 2! That game is great. If not a little easier than the previous one, which you should get too. I suggest you get hold of some of those mega pack things that have like 3 games on one cart. I know a guy who got one that was Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, and the Revenge of Shinobi, which is a great selection if you can pick that one up. You should probably get those three as well... well maybe not Shinobi. That was hard as nails.

This may sounds dumb, but, try and get Aladdin. It was brilliant! It's a basic colourful platformer where you go from level to level killing enemies in your path, it's really fun :D

Shadowrun (also SNES version)DeafNYCPlayer

Awesome choice, Shadowrun (both versions but especially Genesis) were SO ahead of their time. You have class.

A lot of really great recommendations here, you guys make me proud. Especially Panzer_Zwei saying Cyborg Justice since I just wrote about that game in my blog (aw, come on, don't be shy!). Let me add Splatterhouse 3, Mutant League Hockey, Pit Fighter, and GENERAL CHAOS!

I'd take SEGA-16 reviews with a grain of salt. They're too black and white on most games. They rate them too good or too bad.

But then again, they're just one opinion after all, and are meant to be taken as such. So it would be wrong to take them as a bible to judge Mega Drive games.

It depends on the types of games that you like to play, but here are some of my faves.

M.U.S.H.A

Streets of rage 1, 2 and 3 (2 being the best IMHO).

THunder force III,

Lightening Force (aka hunder Force IV)\

Vectorman

Comix Zone

Golden Axe

Revenge of Shinobi

Shinobi III

Shadow Dancer

Super Monaco GP ( I didn't care for the second one as much)

Out Run

Gunstar Heroes

Dune II (RTS done very well on the Genesis, very addictive)

Virtua Racing

Space Harrier II

Super Hang on

Ghouls & Ghosts

Eternal Champions

Batman and Robin (Just to show how powerful the Genesis was)

Aladdin

NBA JAM

Earthworm Jim

This list should keep you busy for awhile

hm...you are right with the point that its not the ideal to take reviews opinions as gold and the only source...but thats the general thing with reviews...but furthermore its a good way for someone like Castle_freak who is not very experienced with the sega genesis to inform himself about the existenece of some games and maybe check them out. i mean by reviews in general : you have decide by yourself wheter is something good or not and matches your taste. so maybe consider this site as a games list with screens and when you interested in a game you can watch a gameplay clip on youtube if there is one available :)

moreover there is also the average reader score (the drawback is that it doesnt show on how much reader opinions this score was generated so its not very representative) and some comments.

anyways the games that i have listed above are really good in my opinion as well ;)

Panzer_Zwei can you recommend another sega genesis site? :)
would be cool to have more sources.
