I'm thinking about
All Sonics
Golden Axes
Streets of Rages
Sword of Vermillion
Nba Jam
Nhl 93
MK2
Phantasy Stars
Anything else you can think of?

I sold my dc about six months ago and was jonesing for another console, leaning toward another dc for 100 or a ps2 for 300. But I guess I decided that sometimes the games with the worst graphics often have the best gameplay. I couldn't think of more than 5 games I wanted for dc or 5 for ps2, but yet I can't stop rattling off games that I can get for under $5 shipped. I think I had a revelation.

I have a genesis and a few games (can't remember which ones at the moment). Interested in buying it?

The 2 Shining Force games are a must. I really liked Shadowrun. Erm, can't think of any others.

The first ToeJam and Earl game was really fun. The 2nd one was a bit disappointing, but still decent.

You can get the sega smash pack for DC it has eleven genesis games on it all classics. There are also 3 volumes of genesis game packs available check out www.segadeals.com p.s. this is the only place I have seen them.

Forget NHL 93, go with 94, the best of the series.

In addition to many of the above recommendations:

- Dynamite Headdy (Treasure game, mix of platformer/shooter)
- Rocket Knight Adventures (fun platformer)
- Vectorman (action platformer)
- Sword of Vermillion

Alot of people may not have played this, but Wonder Boy in Moster World was one of the best games i've played--even to this day. It was just tons of fun--if you can find it. Also, if you like shooters, I would recommend any of the Thunderforce games (except for number 2).

I suggest if you like doom games get zero tolerance. This game rocks IMO. Also get sega CD and games like sonic spinball, wing commander, and sewer shark.

PS anyone selling orignal toejam & earl please post!

Is the original Toe Jam and Earl that much better than the sequel? I have seen the sequel and I can probally pick it up pretty cheap.

Jungle Strike

Agreed. Still my favorite hockey game of all time. :thumsup:

P.S. I love doing the replay-goal thing and making that siren blare in your opponent's ears for a long time.

Definately get all the Sonics, and Pitfall is pretty fun, too.

Yeah I got nhl 92-95. 94 is definitely the best. 95 takes some getting used to (it's much faster). Another game I really really enjoy is Kid Chameleon. Secrets galore. Oh, and Contra Hard Corps. But the combination of both of them make me HAVE to buy a game genie.
