Building a better genesis collection

Finally, the wish list so far:

Ranger X

The grand total brings us to 58 games.  I'm willing to cap my collection off at 65.  What do you guys suggest?

Goodness, I thought I was happy with my collection, but, I'm going to almost double it after I get everything.

That's the most important Genesis game IMO.

Honestly, I think you have it all. My genesis collection is composed of 6 or 7 Sonic games and Ranger X lol. I'm just going to get the Ultimate Genesis Collection for PS3 to play most of the other great games, like Shining Force, Phatasy Star, and Albert Odyssey (only 40 games on that disk btw, so you're collection, is much more ultimate).

When I first saw the game, I thought it looked pretty cool.  But then, it started blowing fire at enemies.  Instantly put it on the list after that.  Also, the new total has me somewhere past 70 games.

The thing about the ultimate genesis collection is that I already own so many of the titles and you're not getting any big third party games.  Honestly, I don't care for altered beast or a lot of pre-sonic genesis games.  Playing them on PS3 isn't all too fun for me either.  When you strip out all those games I already own, you're not really left with anything too great, in my opinion.  And, I'd rather have them on the actual console and not on some emulator.  I still own the origional console.

Also, Sonic Mega Collection +, on PS2 disappointed me so much.  The sound effects and music were off, I had to unlock things I could already to with my genesis, and it left a bad taste in my mouth.  I need to play the original.  I'm not sure if I ever did unlock S3&K on that collection, because I dislike sonic 3 on it's own, and would much rather play Sonic 2.  But, together, with sonic & knuckles, Sonic 3 & knuckles is better than sonic 2.  So many gripes when playing sonic 3 alone, like not being able to save lives or continues, lack of super emeralds, not being able to save the sonic & knuckles progress.

once i buy the game, i can play it.  I don't have to buy it on disc, and figure out how to make it available.  That's annoying.

I agree with the bold

I just never played that many Genesis games at the time, and my backlog is pretty full with SNES/PS1/PS2 games. I'm actually working on completing my SNES/PS1/PS2 collection, if you look at "My Games" I own everything there, 98% of the games Complete with box and everything. There are still about 50 games I really want to get, mostly from 5th gen systems, and then I'll have a collection reflective of my tastes.

Actually I made a deal with myself. I can buy any retro game I want, as long as I buy it with the profits I make selling games I find at garage sales. Made over $800 over 4 saturdays, and I bought quite a lot recently with it.

I'm just not interested in too much on the Genesis, or at least I don't know what I'd like. Ultimate Collection is a good starting place for me, I'll buy any game I like, but not until I get those 50 or so SNES/Saturn/PS1/N64/PS2 games, and only with my garage sale profits.
