I'd like to know some of your favorite Genesis/Mega Drive games.

You can list your favorite, or multiple favorites.

Whatever you like really.

i dont know whats the best but i can tell you which is the most impressive graphically, its called red zone, it had CGI, 3D graphics, shaders, models, everything, and it ran on the original megadrive/genesis without the need for aditional hardware

Only if you can't find the Neo Geo version. Seriously, the other ones are crap compared to that one.

I've been playing a good few Mega Drive games and I love to play Shinobi 3, Terminator Vs Robocop and Biohazard. I wouldn't recommend buying fighters for Mega Drive though, since very few games support the 6 button controller which is pretty much vital to games like Street Fighter 2.

The 3DO version was decent enough. But yeah, nothing beats playing Neo fighters on the MVS.

Saying the 3DO version was good is like saying you found your wedding ring in a pile of feces: yea, there's something good in that mound of crap, but who the hell is going to stick their hand in there to try to get it? Definitely not worth it.

I'm a Genesis freak so it's hard to pick.

Right now I'm thinking Ristar! Followed by Sonic 2 and Flashback.

But there are at least 100 games I love on the Genesis.

And some I wanted to love. Like Chakan. I really wanted to love that game, but it was too frustrating. If modified properly that would be a gem.

Dragon's Fury is an awesome Pinball game. I never thought much of Pinball games until I played that one. It's incredibly addictive!

Just as Zerba_3 says, Road Rash II is definately worth investing in too. On of my all-time favourite racers.

i dont know whats the best but i can tell you which is the most impressive graphically, its called red zone, it had CGI, 3D graphics, shaders, models, everything, and it ran on the original megadrive/genesis without the need for aditional hardware st1ka

You're right. I own that game and the stuff they pulled off is very impressive. They even point out its advanced graphics when you boot up the game. How smug of them :P As for my list:

Story of Thor
Streets of Rage 2
Sonic 3
Shadow Dancer
Dynamite Heady.
