So why am I, Stof, a man who never owned a Genesis making the Genesis appreciation thread? Because I just noticed how sad it is that only 6 Genesis games have over 20 votes in the database.

 Come on People! This is the system of the blue blur! And at a time when he didn't stink like goat cheese. I did spend much time at my friend's playing Sonic. Good times. And I got Ecco the Dolphin on VC and it's a great game.

Get out there and vote/own/comment on some Sega games, and tell your tales of fun, excitement and Mortal Kombat blood here.

Here's a link to a website in which people voted for their favorite Sega Genesis games (top 50 games).

I thank Sega Genesis for being there for me when I had absolutely no taste in games. I just played anything on it whether it was gold or shit and when I lost because the controls were crap and the game was horribly hard, I still had fun so...thanks?

I have a soft spot for Vector Man. That Xbox sequel probably would have sucked, but I was stil disapponted when it was canceled.

hmmm... This is a good idea. Maybe tomorrow I'll write an editorial on why everyone who doesn't worship at the alter of Genesis is a Paganist Ball-licker who almost surely eats baby brain soup in their free time.

Or something along those lines.

Herzog Zwei = One of the coolest games ever

I was surprised that game didn't make the top 50. 

Eh, people have no taste!

well, it was a worthy oponent in the system wars...good times.
