      Thanks man! Your picks on your video are great as well. So many iconic titles to choose from!

    You are correct, you can see that a lot of love and care went into these Sega games. Bloodlines is definitely one I’m hunting for along with Shinobi.

    Great list and damn close to mine. I just recently got into and finished Bloodlines on expert despite purchasing when you could buy a cardboard re-release at least 10 years ago! Bloodlines is the best Castlevania I've completed. I have to go with SOR 2 at #1 as generic a pick as it is. Still play it with family to this day. 2. Ghouls and Ghosts 3. Bloodlines 4 Contra Hard Corps 5. Revenge of Shinobi by a hair over III. Strangely, I just received my Mega Turican Strictly Limited copy yesterday! Can't wait to dive into that and plan to try Shining Force one day.

    • @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom
      @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom  6 месяцев назад +2

      Awesome post! Bloodlines is so good man! Our list is close. Great mentions of GnG and Contra Hard Corps! I can see why you would pick The revenge of Shinobi, it’s awesome. Thanks for the post!

      @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom  6 месяцев назад +2

      Holy cow that’s an awesome list! Yeah it’s very tough to limit it down to the top 5 for sure. Im loving every game in that list. Thanks for sharing man!

    Alphabetical order because I'm terrible at ranking things.
    Top 5 Favourite Genesis games I've finished:
    - Dune II
    - Ghouls N' Ghosts
    - NHL '94
    - Phantasy Star IV
    - Shining Force II
    Special mention:
    - Rocket Knight Adventures, since it's a Genesis game I greatly admire but I can never get past the second stage.

    • @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom
      @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom  6 месяцев назад +2

      Excellent list! Love to see Ghouls N’ Ghosts and Phantasy Star 4 on the list. Great mention of Rocket Knight Adventures. Thanks sharing.

    What? People hate the SoR 2 box art? No way! That’s from the legend Mick McGinty! Also the artist for the NTSC covers of Street Fighter II. 🤙🏻 SoR 2 really is one of the best if not the best Beat Em Up ever! I have so much to learn still about the Genesis Library. Great video man. 🍻🤙🏻

    • @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom
      @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom  5 месяцев назад

      Yeah it’s crazy, I don’t know why really. I just learned about the artist from Bilbo and I had no idea. Thanks for watching and for the kind words!

    @flutebasket4294 6 месяцев назад +4

    I 1cc'd Bloodlines not too long ago and, while it's not quite as difficult as some of the other Castlevania games, I was still proud of myself.
    Also: even though I'm a SNES fanboy, I feel that Bloodlines outclasses Super Castlevania 4 in the gameplay department. Not the audio/visual department, but it's just a funner game to play

    • @zajicapp
      @zajicapp 6 месяцев назад +2

      i just got into Bloodlines as well and has climbed into my favorites. Have beaten it with both characters on expert. It's gameplay definitely is better than CV 4 on SNES

    • @flutebasket4294
      @flutebasket4294 6 месяцев назад +3

      @@zajicapp Yep -- and the visuals come close too! But the SCV4 soundtrack is one of the best in the history of gaming, so I gotta give it that

    • @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom
      @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom  6 месяцев назад +2

      Nice! I agree and I also love Super Castlevania 4 but it’s just not quite as fun as Bloodlines. Thanks for the post!

  • @TheRetroManRandySavage
    @TheRetroManRandySavage 6 месяцев назад +1

    Oh gees, I wouldn't know where to start.
    Hmmm.🤔
    Maybe T2 would have to be in there.
    Golden axe.
    Mortal kombat.
    Nba jam.
    Maybe one of the hockey games. I loved playing NHL 93. I played that a lot.
    Oh, how could I forget. Streets of rage 2.

    • @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom
      @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom  6 месяцев назад +1

      Solid list man! NHL 93 was awesome as well MK and NBA Jam. Thanks for sharing!

    The graphics on Shining Force 2 are just amazing. The way some of those spells hit is better than stuff on other systems before and after Genesis 😃

    • @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom
      @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom  6 месяцев назад +1

      Agreed 100%! It truly was before it’s time. Thank you for the comment.

  • @zclary923

    My personal Top 5 (so far):
    1. Gunstar Heroes
    2. Castlevania Bloodlines
    3. Streets of Rage 2
    4. Mega Turrican
    5. Rocket Knight Adventures
    Always subject to change as I'm still discovering Genesis games that I never got to play as a kid. Mega Turrican is a prime example. First time I played that was this year and wow what an absolute gem that I missed out on in my childhood. Shinobi III is literally right there though and could easily be Top 5 for me, so many great Genesis games.

    • @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom
      @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom  3 месяца назад

      Very solid list! It was rough leaving Gunstar Heroes and RKA off my list! I also like how you say “so far” my list is ever evolving too. Great post!

    @a-bas-le-ciel 5 месяцев назад

    Kid Chameleon: I am guessing (just a wild guess) that it's a game you haven't given a solid 30 minute try yet, and I'd recommend it.

    • @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom
      @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom  5 месяцев назад

      Oh I’ve spent way more than 30 minutes with Kid Chameleon. It’s a great game.

    Great video!!! I need to open my mind a bit and try an RPG. I own the original Shining Force and I need to try it. Shinobi 3 is absolutely fantastic and I have Mega Turrican pretty high up on my want list ! SOR2 is no doubt in my top 5 and Bloodlines is a masterpiece! Great list and I agree it’s tough to narrow down to 5. FYI I almost always play as Eric when I play Bloodlines haha something about that spear!

    • @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom
      @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom  6 месяцев назад

      Oh man yeah you need to try Shinning Force man. It’s really a lot of fun and is done very well. Man Eric is my normal choice too. The Genesis had so much to offer. Thanks for watching and the kind words.

    Great list dude! Hard to argue that my list would be any different.. I think like you, my favorites might change depending on my mood. 💪🕹️👾

    • @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom
      @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom  6 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah it’s tough to narrow such a great library down to 5 and my list has evolved and changed that’s for sure. Thanks for the post my friend!

  • @playmooregames371
    @playmooregames371 6 месяцев назад +2

    Fantastic picks! I guess I’m in the minority that likes SoR better than SoR2 but they are both amazing games!

    • @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom
      @ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom  6 месяцев назад +2

      It's hard for me to choose because 1 is extremely nostalgic but 2 is the better game. I totally respect that. Thanks for the kind words my friend!

  • @Boswd
    @Boswd 5 месяцев назад +1

    just needed a Sonic 2 or 3 (w/knuckles) and an NHL 94 shout out at least in an honarable mention catagory and it would have been perfect.
