what were the biggest cartridges for genesis?

32 meg? and they were smaller than snes right? they had star ocean which was 48 meg?

first of all , calling the games 32meg is misleading since Sega and Nintendo tended to refer to these figures in Megabits as opposed to Megabytes.

1Megabyte = 8Megabit, so really when Sega say "we have a 32megabit game" , they really mean 4MB , just inflated to look nice for marketing.

2nd , no 4Megabytes (32Megabits) is not the largest commercial MD game, the largest I know is Super Street Fighter 2 , which is 5MB (40 Megabit)

although Pier Solar ,which was a homebrew game, was actually an 8Megabyte game, making it the biggest MD game ever made (and I wouldn't be surprised if its bigger than any SNES game too.
