    "Genesis does
    What NintenDON'T!"

    I busted out the Sega Nomad portable Genesis for a road trip, taking me back to 1992. I have a few cartridges including a few Sonic games, but thinking it's time to get a few more on eBay. Ideas for best games to buy?

    I'm thinking:

    Super SF2
    Streets of Rage 2
    MK II
    Earthworm Jim
    Virtua Racing

    For sure. I've been saying for a decade now that I'd like to have a vintage video game collection, and just recently figured I'd start piecing it together slowly. Got an NES for Christmas. Had a Genesis for a while, but it was packed in a box for a few years. Got that out. Now, looking for other systems and games.

    If anyone's looking to get rid of an old system or Genesis games collecting dust, drop me a PM!

    Definitely agree with MK II, Earthworm Jim and Viruta Racing.

    I'd add Skitchin' and Madden '95. It's been way to long since I sold my Genesis I can't really remember the games I had.

    Been playing hellfire for 17 years now..love it's 4 way shooting action. Final zone too. Subterania is difficult to master but worth the effort.

    Got my 7 and 8 year old nephews addicted to the original madden football game too.

    Desert Strike and Jungle Strike are both still fun to play. The six button control stick if you can find one is a must for both.

    I was playing some PS3 earlier and saw on the PS Store a Sega Genesis collection..Googled it and found this:

    I had a SNES which was better than the Genesis :).

    Kidding aside I would say the following were stand out games on the the Genesis.

    1. Sonic 2
    2. Fantasy Star 4
    3. Flashback
    4. X-Men

    If we're counting the Sega CD I would say Sonic CD, the Lunar series and Vay were good.

    The two holy grail games of the genesis are Herzog Zwei and thunder force 3. Both cost more than a genesis system now.

    Thunder force 3 is awesome and i still can't fiqure how herzog works.
