I never had any Sega systems growing up, what did I miss? (lemmy.world)

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.

For SMS, I loved playing Outrun, The Ninja, Shinobi, Kung-Fu Kid, and Time Soldiers. I had a Master System while all my friends had NES. Still love my SMS to this day!

For Genesis, Shadow Dancer, Revenge of Shinobi, and Warsong was some of my faves. For Sega CD, definitely the Lunar games (The Silver Star and Eternal Blue)

I've mainly played Fighting Games on the Saturn, but Magic Knight Rayearth was a good RPG, IIRC.

For Dreamcast, Tokyo Xtreme Racer blends racing games and RPG games beautifully. Definitely worth playing.
