Do you still have a PS3? (I see only one game in your profile) If so, grab Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for it. For $30 US, you get 40+ Sega Genesis games (plus some Master System and some Arcade version Sega games too). That'll save you a lot of money since you won't have to pay the cartridges for those 40+ games (though I see you already have carts for some of them). Unless you are a collector who really wants to own the cartridges, the Ultimate Genesis Collection is the cheapest way for you to get a whole bunch of Sega games legally (collection includes lots of quality games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic%27s_Ultimate_Genesis_Collection ). Check the list out. I think PSN might have some Genesis ports with online multiplayer so that's worth checking out as well.

Here are some great Genesis games you don't already have that I enjoyed...
- NBA Jam Tournament Edition (unless you already have it for SNES. I think TE is the best version but I could be wrong. If there's a new NBA Jam that is better than the Genesis/SNES ones, let me know. I loved that game.)
- Road Rash series (I personally enjoyed Road Rash II a lot. This is awesome. I wish this series was revived. There is a Road Rash III on Genesis but I never played it.)
- Sonic the Hedgehog 1 (included in that Ultimate collection)

I mainly played sports games back in the Genesis days (along with some Sonic, Golden Axe, etc.) but I don't know if you'd appreciate most of them because the rosters are outdated. Even in NBA Jam obviously but NBA Jam is a really cool game so I recommended that anyway. I could recommend something like the NHL series (NHLPA 93 had fighting and blood so that was awesome. Fighting returned in NHL 96. But NHL 94 and 95 were great too), Joe Montana NFL Football 94 or Sega's Sports Talk Baseball (I'm really dating myself aren't I? lol) but I'm sure you'd rather play NHL 10, Madden 10 and MLB 09: The Show (or The Bigs 2 if you prefer something more arcadey) instead if you like those sports. Though I know a lot of people who swear by old-school EA NHL and say that the new NHL games are too sim-like for their tastes. I think I might be in that camp. I tried the NHL 09 demo and didn't think it was as fun as NHL on the Genesis and Playstation 1. Or maybe it's just that I'm not a hockey nut like I used to be and I haven't seriously played a NHL game since NHL 2001.
