Fourth Generation
When Nintendo last had incredible third party support, felt sorry for the Sega Genesis, but of course it was going to die since 90% of all the exclusives (third party) were on the SNES.
It is also the generation that spawned alot of new game series:
-Yoshi's Island
-Star Fox
-F-Zero
-Chrono series
-Tales Series
-Star Ocean
And made alot of other series revolutionized (Street Fighter, Final Fight, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, etc).
Runner up to the generations imo would be the 6th generation: PS2 is absolutely the best system of that generation and the only system that can be compared to the great SNES of the 4th gen.

Not true, Megadrive had a ton of exclusives.

What worthwhile third party developed game is there for the Genesis?
|
You really want me to make a list?
Thunder Force 2-4
MUSHA
Castle Of Illusion
World of Illusion
Aladdin
Street Fighter II
Castlevania The New Generation
Gunstar Heroes
Contra Hard Corps
Mortal Kombat 1-3
TMNT Hyperstone Heist
Vectorman 1-2(Traveler's Tales were third party, I think)
Strider
Rocket Knight Adventures
Dynamite Headdy
Jurassic Park Rampage Edition
Mutant League Hockey
Sega had better third party support for sports games, not gonna name them all.
Ghouls and Ghosts
Red Zone
You know, I haven't even looked at a list of Megadrive games, I'm just brainstorming, i'm sure there are more but I think I made my point.

Ghouls and Ghosts and Aladdin, I played the SNES versions.
Same with the SF2.
But I'll check some of the games you mentioned. Any RPGs on the SGEN that you know of ;o?

The Megadrive Aladdin game is different from the SNES one.
As for RPG's, that was one of its weaker genres. Megadrive had some western RPG's like Dungeons and Dragons, Shadowrun or Landstalker, most of which are probably pretty outdated. As for japanese ones, Sega themselves made the Phantasy Star games, of which II was ground breaking for its time (1989) but hasn't aged well, III is bad, and IV is awesome. Shining Force 1 and 2 are great tactical RPG games. Shining in the Darkness is good. Super Hydilide looks really outdated but might be worth checking out.
Lunar I and II are, aside from phantasy stars the best competitors the Final Fantasy games of the SNES, but they were released on the Mega CD, and are super rare, so you'll only be able to play them through emulation (unless you are super rich and have the patience to track them down). If you do want to play them, I recommend using the Kega Fusion emulator, it's the best one I've used, and it does 32X games and Mega CD games as well as regular Megadrive games.
