    I still remember when that Shinobi came out. It was after a baseball game. My parents, me, my friend and his parents were at an Electronics store for some reason. Him and his dad were so hyped to get it. I spent the night and we played it all night
  • My #1 Pick is Streets of Rage 2. It's a game I'll never become tired of playing. Been on it since '92.
  • @AnthonyRiddle
    The 16bit generation will always be my favorite. I play more 16bit games these days than I do anything else. They’re so damn gorgeous. I’ve also been getting into modern games with 16bit style graphics
  • @tarantinoish
    Gunstar Heroes, Shining Force 1 and 2, Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker, General Chaos, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, and Phantasy Star 2 and 4 are my jams. And Snatcher if you add in the CD attachment.
  • So happy to see you included Shadowrun on this list! Shadowrun remains one of the best hidden gems on this system, and it has aged really well, it’s still super fun to this day. One of the things I love about this game is the unscripted events that randomly happen as you progress through the game. For example, you can be walking through a city when suddenly the screen cuts to a dialog box where a guy in an alley calls out to you to offer to sell you grenades (or something else) at a significant discount, and half the time when you accept, he takes your money, laughs and you get cheap weapons, the other half it’s an undercover lone star officer and you’re busted. Stuff like that makes this game still genuinely fun to play today! You mentioned you never beat this one, I recommend you give it a shot and go for a completion, everything holds up through the ending! Thanks for the video!

    Beyond Oasis ( STORY OF THOR) has to be in my list not just for fusing Zelda with streets of rage but for The Kojima style elements it had Take fishing for example. There is no fishing in the game ... But there definitely is. You can bait fish to attack you onto land becoming food for you. Hidden side quests for unbreakable weapons in every class. A pet strengthening meta game tied to puzzles or races. It was truly something different.
  • @Des_Zee
    Nice list especially arcus odyssey. It's truly an underrated gem.
  • @cid_xexyz
    Phantasy Star 4 is the GOAT! Every point you made about it is spot on. The music was amazing and it still holds up really well. Thanks for putting it number 1.
  • @Soynereh
    Monster World IV is a must for me. I could do a 50 list and still feel like a left out a bunch.
  • @Stotfish
    I discovered you and your channel about two months back. I think I'm truly a fan at this point. I knew your #1 pick before I stared. Love your work.
  • Every buddy has different games on a top 10 list and I enjoy every one of them. It's always cool to see the differences.
  • @scarosone14
    Great list. So many great games for the Genesis. Its one of my top 5 favorite consoles of all time.
  • @GhaleonEB
    There are many more "top 10" choices that could get in there, but it's hard to argue with any of these picks. Appreciate the rich mix of genres as well. Action, adventure, platforming, RPG, strategy RPG. I've played all but two of these and will seek them out (Castlevania and Shadowrun) to try them out. Solid list.
  • @SrSacaninha
    Damn, that's a nice list. I could probably reorder some things around, but it doesn't matter, your selection is golden. For my taste, though, since you asked, I would replace Shinning Force II with the first one; unpopular opinion I'm sure, but I like how it is shorter and more focused. I'd probably add a beat em up instead of arcus odyssey, streets of rage 2, 3 or maybe TMNT. Oh and would also add the first DUNE, I have very fond memories of that game. And I completely agree that PS$ deserves more recognition, it's such an amazing game. One of the greatest RPGs of the 90s.
  • @buckeyechad1
    The 1st time I played Gunstar was 2 player. My friend brought it over, was raving about it. Had to buy soon after. Still loved it 1 player, of course. Just wasn't the same experience, as awesome as 1 player was.
  • Phantasy Star 4 is a perfect gem!!! My first walkthrough was just 4 years ago and I loved it sooooo much! And it's brilliant OST is still in my head too.
  • Solid list, and good to see Shining Force II included. The game that specifically made me run out and buy a Genesis was the first Shining Force game. Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition also deserves a mention.
  • @28Pluto
    Shadow Dancer will always be my favourite Shinobi game on the Genesis. The dog sidekick mechanic was really cool. Also, Rocket Knight Adventures!
