Genesis/Mega Drive had a ton of games. The main issue with it was that a lot of them were very short. Nintendo, Squaresoft, and a few others made all these super long SNES games that make most Genesis games feel too short. Sonic 1-2 have 40 levels altogether, but Super Mario World has 72 levels. It would take 3 Sonic games to equal the size of just SMW (Unless you count the Emerald Levels). Lots of games on the Genesis are great, but over far too quickly.
That being said, I still think Genesis/Megadrive is just as valid as an answer to this question as PS1/SNES. Probably even more so than PS1, since most Genesis games hold up far better than PS1 games.
P.S. I was around at the time, and had a Genesis. It wasn't until decades later that I started discovering all the Genesis' hidden gems like Giaares, Chiki Chiki Boys, Dune, MUSHA, Crusader of Centy, Elemental Master, El Viento, Trouble Shooter, Pirates Gold, Marvel Land, Target Earth, Alien Soldier, Warsong, etc.(And yes, I know these aren't hidden gems anymore. But they were back in the Genesis' heyday, which is my point.)
