Merzbow Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I'd check CEX for some games too, they can often be cheaper than eBay for the more common carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 You definitely want Streets Of Rage 2 if you haven’t already picked it up, Dynamite Headdy is a great platformer and Tiny Toon Adventures: Busters Hidden Treasure is another fun platformer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Racking my brain trying to think what I used to have on my Nega Drive now. Twin Hawk is a very underrated Vertical scrolling Shooter. As has been mentioned, Streets of Rage 2 is possibly the best game in its genre, so that’s a must have Edited May 3, 2019 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 What's that pinball game with the aliens and shit? I rented that a couple of times and it was ace, it had quite a dark aesthetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do miss the days when pawn shops didn’t quite realise the value of retro. I got Conker’s Bad Fur Day for a whopping £2 in Cash Converters 6 or 7 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 4, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 4, 2019 Alien Crush was its prequel and there was an Alien Crush Returns later in the series. Really good games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted May 4, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 4, 2019 Try and hunt down a copy of Sonic 3 AND a copy of Sonic & Knuckles, because the two games actually combine into a brilliant game hopefully the save battery still works as well so you can retain your progress. If you have Sonic & Knuckles you can also enjoy Knuckles in Sonic 2, which is a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually prefer Sonic 2 with Knuckles as the main character, am I alone in this? I’m really enjoying Mercs. It’s definitely aged, but its still a lot of fun. Mega Bomberman is also brilliant. I’d love a remaster, with the option to play online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted May 8, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 8, 2019 My top 3 mega drive games: Kid Chameleon - Absolutely wonderful and is still very difficult to play today. Your character encounters an array of baddies, some solid levels and you also need to be strategic about when to use your masks. Much like how Mario & Sonic pick up special abilities during stages, so does your character in the form of masks and helmets, each providing a different power. Some of these are crucial in order to complete a level. Skitchin - Under appreciated clone of Road Rash. And although I’m a BIG Road Rash 1 & 2 fan, Skitchin is arguably better. Very similar aesthetically, the courses have a similar look and your racing against competitors, on roads, with cars causing you grief. However, you’re on Roller Blades, you can grab hold of the back of cars for an advantage (skitch), you can fight competitors, the driver can pop their boot, some of he roads have ramps for bonus points and you can buy replacement gear from the back of a van. It’s excellent. Alien Storm - I believe this is the most under appreciated side scroller in existence. Take streets of rage, but add aliens and laxer guns. Occasional levels turn to 1st person for bonus stages etc. It’s such a fun game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted May 8, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted May 8, 2019 Sure, Revenge of Shinobi, Sonic 2, blah blah, they're a given. I'll pick three more slightly obscure games. Rolling Thunder 2 was a Mega Drive only sequel to the great split-level shooter. Really good enemies, great power-ups, good soundtrack. Two players are great fun. Seek it out. Runark / Growl is a great side scrolly beat 'em up with loads of weapons, scenery damage, cool music and hilariously bad dialogue. Zero Tolerance is one of the only true Mega Drive FPS released right at the end of the console's lifecycle. It has obviously been utterly superceded as a time capsule it's well worth a look.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted May 8, 2019 Moderators Share Posted May 8, 2019 Aladdin is a lot of fun. I really liked the X-Men game. Flashback was a real gem but not sure how well that's aged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was arcade originally unless the Mega Drive version was completely different. But I've played it a lot on MAME, it's really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should've clarified it was one of those where the home version deviated quite a lot from the arcade, and the Mega Drive was the only one released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
