NHL 95. Glad you have Rocket Knight on there, amazing game. I remember my cousin traded some guy 6 tennis balls for it. Best deal ever!

X-men for genesis, all of them, suck balls. Some of the worst games made. X-men 2 might be playable, but the copy I had didn't work and we could never get past the second stage (You could never make it back to the emergency exit in the copy we had.)

I have specifically played x-men over the years, with my cousin.  He owned the game, and I think it's pretty good and challenging.  I like how every time you turn it on, the x-men logo has a random color.  I don't know if he still has the game anymore.  But, it's not bad.  I used to get very far.

My main Genesis, (the one I play on most) reset button is broken, and I'm sure I need to reset the game at some point when the game tells me.  So, I'll just have to remember to play it on my other genesis.  I plan to get a 3rd just for the hell of it.

I'm actualy not getting X-Men 2.  I've heard too much bad stuff about it.  This is actually coming from someone who enjoys Cliffhanger.  I did a run on youtube of me going through the 1st 4 stages without taking a single hit.

 

Most people say the game is too hard, but, I don't think so.  Challenging, yes, but I've played more difficult (and worse) games.

My problem with X-men the first was the way they handled health.  If they gave you a full bar after each level I wouldn't really mind it. 

Use some of the other x-men.  If I'm not mistaken, at the character select, don't they have spots in that area where you can restore your health?

Ah, really? About XMen 2, I'm really surprised that a poster here and the topic creator aren't fans of it. I purchased it at a Pawn Shop(like I did with so many other Genesis games) and was pleasantly surprised how smooth and relevant the game played by today's standards. The first XMen game was pretty difficult, but it wasn't "unplayable" by any stretch of the imagination. Using Nightcrawler's teleportation move to create your own shortcuts in some of the tougher levels was a big highlight for me.

With that out of the way though, I'll have to name my favorite Genesis games besides XMen II, assuming you need more ideas to add to your collection or if they haven't been mentioned yet. : )

Mazin Saga Mutant Fighter
Shadow Dancer: Shinobi
Shinobi III
Vectorman 2
Road Rash III
Super Hang-On
Contra: Hard Corps
Toejam & Earl I and II
The Haunting
Shining Force


And finally, the only Genesis game I'm on the hunt for is Guantlet IV. I've been looking for more classic games that are highly replayable and with multiplayer, and this one just happens to support a multitap for up to 4 people.

A few of the games are already on my list.  I'm not sure if I want Road Rash III.  I think I put it on my list, since that's another rented game, but, I dont know how I feel about the video-recorded graphics.  I like the way Road Rash II was done more.  I also heard vector man 2 was short and that put me off from getting that game.

One of my oldest sega genesis memories is watching my brother play super hang-on.  I bet he has no idea I even remember watching him play it. (I was super young)

As for X-Men 2, I think I'll be okay with the 1st game.

I second that Streets of Rage 3 is fantastic, just not quite as AMAZINGLY fantastic as Streets of Rage 2 is.

Just count you're lucky stars that it's the Genesis version and not the Megadrive version that you require, the MD version still costs quite a pretty penny.


If you can't convince me that streets of rage 3 is better than 2, I'm not budging on my decision.

4 player multiplayer alone makes Micromachines 2 way better than 1. No multitap is needed because the cartridge comes with two extra built-in controller ports. It has more tracks and modes as well.

Shinobi III is a faster game than Revenge, because Musashi has running and several other new moves. It's also easier (and less frustrating).

I'm still getting micromachines 1.  I remember seeing my brother and cousin playing it at our grandparent's house.  It was a just a rental though.  I couldn't have been older than 4 years old, I'm surprised I'm able to remember just about every genesis game we'd rented.  I also looked on e-bay for micromachines 2 and didn't see it.
