I've been filling out my emulator collection and thought I'd poke my head into the world of Sega consoles, which I have no experience with.

What classic Master System/Genesis/32x/Game Gear/Sega CD games should I try? I'm more of an RPG guy, but I'll play a good retro platformer or whatever.

What I've found so far from my own research (mostly Genesis):

  • Altered Beast

  • Beyond Oasis

  • Castlevania Bloodlines

  • Comix Zone

  • Crusader of Centy

  • Death and Return of Superman (I just really liked this comics arc)

  • Earthworm Jim 1+2

  • Gauntlet 4

  • Golden Axe 1+2

  • Landstalker

  • Might and Magic - Gates to Another World (I think this is MM2?)

  • OutRun and OutRun 2019

  • Phantasy Star 1-4

  • Shadowrun

  • Shining Force 1+2

  • ToeJam and Earl

  • Ys - The Vanished Omens

What I have no interest in:

  • Sonic

  • Fighting games

  • Sports games

EDIT: I'll definitely take note of any Saturn/Dreamcast recommendations too, but my plan is to start with the older consoles and work my way up.

Nice meme. :D ... wait a second. You serious, right? I always thought of Chakan as not a good game. It's the first I see someone recommending it. No offense!

Skill issue, no offense ๐Ÿ˜†

[-] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

No need to attack personally, just because I don't like a game you like.

[-] db2@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago

Nah it's not like that. Someone else recommended Ecco the Dolphin and I think it's trash the same way.

[-] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

And that's fine. Imagine he defends the game for being good, because you don't understand it. There is just no need to "attack" personally if someone does not like your game. And it's not like I wouldn't play difficult games. Overall I didn't mean to trash talk the game you like, I was just honest talking about an observation I made, that many people didn't like the game. My hope was to talk about the game why its being good or what's being disliked.

In example I like the Super NES game Uniracers / Unirally, and if someone doesn't like or get it, I don't say its skill issue, game is good, you are just bad at the game. That's why you don't like it. This is not what I say.

Why are you getting so pressed over an obvious joke though, chill

[-] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

That's always the easy way out. Make a statement, and if the person is upset about your personal attack, make it a joke. I just wanted to talk about the game.

Yeah I'm going to be blocking you now. Good luck.
