mine were
Gaiares, Sagaia aka Darius 2, Mortal Kombat, Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Baseball 2020
Sonic 1 and 2, Streets of Rage, Revenge of Shinobi, Golden Axe, Road Rash II, X-Men, The Lost World and Mega Bomberman.
All the Sonic games, Vector Man, Battle Toad and so much more
Steel Empire, Another World, Flashback Quest for Identity, Hyperstone Heist.
I was the Nintendo guy with the SNES back then but a friend had a Mega Drive and we loved to play PGA Golf, Sonic 1&2, Toejam & Earl and Warlock on it. Many years later I decided to add one to my collection so I bouth a bundle on ebay with a 2nd Model Mega Drive, Sega CD add on and a bunch of game (including PGA and the Sonics).
There are so many good games to mention, but I’ll highlight one that doesn’t get mentioned much – Pit Fighter!
damn never seen this one
Sonic 1 and 2, Road Rash 1 and 2, X-men 2 Clone wars, Phantasy Star IV, Gunstar Heroes. Probably more that I can’t recall at the moment.
Ecco The Dolphin. Just re-visited this for the first time in forever, and I’m still convinced this is one of the darkest, most fucked up, creepiest and most depressing video games ever made.
Sonic 1 & 2, Sonic Spinball, Altered Beast, NHL ’94, Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine. I know there are others but those are the ones that come to mind immediately.
How so? I never owned it & only played it briefly at my at-the-time stepbrother’s house so I didn’t play it much.
Well the screeching crying sound Ecco makes when he gets injured or hurt comes to mind first, the soundtrack (which is great btw), and just the overall game atmosphere and story in an underwater world that becomes so alien and weirder as the game progresses just makes this a kind of surreal game. Kinda hard to explain but because its such an outlier and unique game (for its time when it came out) I guess that gives me this vibe without it being a horror game or whatever; it’s just the overall weirdness and strangeness of the game that when I started playing it after so long, I was just like, yep this game is still kinda fucked up lol.
Not to mention, it’s a HARD AS FUCK game too.
I had and played it too.
Sega had some great Disney platforming games. Aladdin, Lion King and Jungle Book to name a few.
The Sonic games, Shinobi 3, Earthworm Jim, NBA Jam T.E., Castlevania Bloodlines
Mutant League Football, Haunting starring Polterguy, Aa Harimanada.
