  • The Top 100 Mega Drive / Genesis games - as voted on by the users of GameFaqs. See the complete list here:
    gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/...
    This is my second Sega MD/Genesis video; the first one - which I posted a while ago - was a "Top 100 According To Retro-Sanctuary" - and had the horrible misfortune having a highly distracting mouse cursor visible for the entire 10 minutes. My apologies for that.
    Consider this video a "fixed" version - two years later.
    On a personal note, I find this Gamefaqs vote-based list is more "representative" than the Retro-Sanctuary list.
    What's really interesting is that of these 100, 32 of them appear on the Sega MD/Genesis Mini! That's got to make a lot of buyers happy...
    Anyway, let's give the Sega console some love!!!

    As a couple of people have pointed out, #70 (3:00) is mislabelled - it should be "Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom" --- *not* Phantasy Star II. Thanks to @Tyler Fitts and @Reydal Sandoval!

    No Sparkster or Busters Hidden Treasure or Decap Attack or Animaniacs or Lion King or Toy Story or Earthworm Jim 2 or Batman or Maui Mallard or Greendog or Maximum Carnage or Castle of Illusion?.... just goes to show the Mega Drive had way too many amazing games to all fit in a top 100. Such a great system

    I remember being 10 and my dad randomly showing up with a big plastic tub full of sega genesis games. Had something like 70 games. I recognize a shit ton here.
    So many memories of taking boxes of pizza and bottles of pepsi into the living room to play Sonic 2 and Vectorman. Heading to Blockbuster to pick up Home Alone and Good Burger for the VHS. Staying up late watching Friday's on Cartoon Network

    2 games that are always underrated in these lists are:
    Sonic 3 & Knuckles: By far the best Sonic game on the system but came late in the consoles life and nowhere near as many played it as Sonic 2.
    Streets of Rage 3: So many people struggled with the difficulty and didn’t stick with it but this is definitely the best of the trilogy.

      No, just pick which ever game is considered superior and put that on the list. For example, if Mortal Kombat 2 placed #10 on the list and MK1 is only #29, then obviously people like MK2 more.
      I understand including a sequel if its unique and stood on it's own. Like say Super Mario Bros 2, which is very different from the 1st and 3rd games. (and yes, I know Mario 2 USA is Doki Doki Panic)
      My point is, it doesn't make for a interesting video when every other game on the list is a sequel. Alot of other great games get pushed aside because people wanna vote based on nostalgia instead of what's actually the best of the best for the system.
