The 90s was such a cool, fun time. Memories flooding back! I had the Sega Mega Drive and my cousin had the SNES. We gamed and we gamed then we gamed some more.
Brilliant list and these games brought back some great memories. Streets of Rage 2 is a worthy winner indeed. I would also add games like Fifa word cup, F1 championship, there was also a good tennis game too. Double Dragon wasnt bad either. Another forgotten gem was DJ Boy. Thanks for the great list and overall content. Superb channel.
One day in 2019, i was playing Streets of Rage 2, and suddenly i was struck by an overwhelming urge to shout out really loud....Streets of rage 2 is the best beat’em up EVERRRRRR!!!!! And from that point on It’s not been a debate on which is the best. This is such a great game that has everything a young gamer would love. Great list, and great video!!
I always thought SOR2 was perfect but unless I'm mistaken there's no double team moves but no option to switch off still being able to hit each other. That's a flaw! For that reason I'd rather just play it on my own
I liked the music better in the first game but as an overall package number 2 is my number 1 beat'em up of all time. I cannot wait to play number 4 on my PS4 PRO hopefully later this year and judging on trailers number 2 will remain number 1.
Great list and great video. Have never heard of Shining Force as an action adventure game. I love both of those very much; probably my two favorite Megadrive games. Always thought those were strategy RPGs
So many good games so it is hard to make a list. I would have put Musha, Alien Soldier, Thunder Force IV, Strider, these are fantastic games. I still play them from time to time.
Strider Hiryu maybe not flawless but for its time it was stunning. Still wondering why sega changed the sprite for Hiryu. Yes musha is top tier shnup. No top list can be without it
I’m a 21 year old who has been collecting and appreciating both the newest and the oldest games since I was 14. As a more objective party, I agree 8 to 16 is a pretty large leap. However, I think you could argue 16bit to 3D was as big, if not bigger. Especially when considering all the gameplay and control innovations that needed to take place in moving from 2d to 3d
Love it that you were the SuperSonics in NBA Jam! That was always my go to because I m from Chicago and MJ wasn’t on the team. Dunks and defense with Kemp and 3s with Detlef
Great vid mate, love your channel. People get really worked up about favourite games don't they? Some of my faves in no particular order (and I realise no-one asked) Gynoug Strider Columns Shadow Dancer Splatterhouse 2 Mickey mouse in Castle of Illusion Biohazard Battle E-Swat Space Invaders '91 Sonic Spinball Micromachines 2 Everyone has different tastes. If you're having fun, you're doing it right
Thunder Force IV, Story of Thor, Soleil, Light Crusader, Landstalker, Virtua Racing, Ecco 1 & 2, Eternal Champions, Alien Soldier, Musha, Dynamite Heady, ToeJam & Earl 2, Dragon Ball... There are many games that could have joined the list.
Great list. Finally someone like me who prefer Shinobi III then Revenge of Shinobi. I just have missed Thunder Force IV. Definitively it'd be in my list.
Great list! Some of my favorites not listed: Desert/Jungle/Urban Strike, Vapor trail, Crackdown, Boogerman(awesome game), Cool Spot, ESWAT, Haunting Starring Polterguy, Splatterhouse 3, Mega Turrican (a must own/play), Trouble Shooter(aka Battle Mania).
Oh crap when I was making my list in this comment section I totally forgot about the Splatterhouse games. Oh well I was only doing my list from the top of my head. But ya they would be on my list as a series.
Love your videos man! you have a well trained eye for the gems - would love to see a collaboration with Sharopolis - I think you two would get on really well
This will be awesome! Have you noticed how good the Mega Drive was with sequels? Sonic 2, Streets of Rage 2, Road Rash 2, Golden Axe 2, Jungle Strike, Micro Machines 2!
Great video. I never had a megadrive back in the day as I was all about home computers but a friend had one with a fair few of these games. I couldn't resist getting the mini and of course the hacks. I think there's one or two on here that I haven't added to it so will get them on soon. I've mostly played sensible soccer on it though but there's so many I need to play but am waiting until my little boy is a bit older so we can play together.
@@oldstylegaming all is well thanks! I hope the same with you friend. Just been working a lot so it's nice to enjoy some quality content from OSG! Thanks again!
Solid list I love seeing everyone's different views on what games should be on this list, shows just how much the many different games on the Mega Drive meant to its players. I wasn't even born when the Mega Drive was released, but it was the first console my father introduced to me. So it, alongside the Dreamcast, were the first consoles I have memory of playing as a kid. As for a game I think should be on this list: Kid Chameleon. It was such an amazing yet difficult platformer on the Mega Drive. The different power ups, the artstyle, the music, all amazing. I remember I always had this process of dying 3/4 levels in, retrying and going again, just to end up where I was before and dying again, then just giving up and going back to Sonic lol. Because of that, I have the first 3/4 levels of Kid Chameleon burned into my memory. I recently bought the entire SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Classics collection on Steam, gonna have an awesome nostalgia trip very soon.
Great that your dad introduced you to the megadrive and even greater that your first consoles in your memory include my favourite console of all time the dreamcast
Pretty good list. I'll put series as one, like the Sonics, SOR, Golden Axes, Shinobis, etc. That way you can put other games people may not know about.
Great inspiration for getting my raspberry pie out… I’ve been playing SR4 on the PS4 and that’s amazing! I missed out on this version, number 3 so as I write this message I am putting it on! 😊
you've got to be at least 38 years of age.... almost my exact same list!!! this list is by far the best one ive saw personally!!!! these exact games changed my life!!! 100% 💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 THANKS!!!!!
Love the videos mate. Only joined recently but grew up with the c64 and everything after so share your love. Nice to see a fellow northerner on youtube, Im from Cumbria
Another great video OSG. I love how you go all posh sounding too when you say "Master System" :-D Although I do already own a Mega Drive, and several cool fully boxed carts etc, I have been thinking of purchasing one of those SD Mega Drive carts for a while. I bought the SD2SNES last year, and it is fantastic, literally hundreds of SNES games at your fingertips (and even scene demos like on the Amiga) from one cart...it's wicked. Now, watching your video has persuaded me to buy the Mega Drive SD cart too, to play so many great games :) The games you covered are ace, they all look, play, and sound tremendous, but I love the MD versions of Mega-Lo-Mania, Cannon Fodder, and Chaos Engine, to name but a few, but I guess they're not drastically different to their Amiga versions, which are probably just that bit better anyway, certainly in the sound department in some cases (such as Mega-Lo -Mania anyway). Keep up the good work mate, and keep on sounding posh when you say "Master System" :-D Cheeeers!!
Sadly no Illusion series games in here but not a single bad game on this list. Not all my style but like you said you do come to appreciate them for what they are. Great video. Have a great day.
Good list. Shot em up and sports games missing. But it is a matter of personal taste. I also love alien soldier, it may have complex controls, but once you understand is easy. Also try the contra Japanese version. Much better and accessible.
Great vid chap! I never had a mega drive back in the day. I bought the Sega hits thing for ps4 and all the games were pretty universally crap. This video shows why... either the best weren't included or they were licenced ones that couldn't be released today ie. Robocop vs. Terminator. Such a shame.
@@oldstylegaming Fantastic! Looking forward to it. Really enjoying your personal top 30 videos. It's nice to hear your own personal experiences and opinions. Always some surprises in there.
SOR2 was the bomb, everybody always talks about Final Fight, but to me SOR2 is the BEST Brawler of them all, i must have played through SOR2 like 20 times over the years, i just cant get enough of the sound, music and blood pumping action.
Excellent list! But if it was my list I would’ve added: • Desert Strike - this was the game that made me want a Megadrive! • Immortal - scary, nice adventure & hard • Starflight - amazing space adventure • Terminator - nice platform shooter • Alien 3 - nice graphics & animation • Flashback - lovely game & depth • Another World - excellent! • Quack Shot - original, nice cartoon graphics • Lemmings - hours of gameplay, nice music • T2 Judgement Day - good shooter esp with the Menacer light gun.
Excellent list. Personally, I'd swap out both Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic 3 and replace them with Vectorman and Sonic 3 plugged into Sonic & Knuckles 👌🏻
Quite a few of these games I played, some I beat... some Sega Genesis Gems of mine are missing from this List...: Alisia Dragoon (Never managed to beat, but loved game so much... especially the Main Character!
Have you got the SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection for 360 and PS3? if not I think you'd like it has a lot of your choices on it. My favorites that weren't already on your list: Dune II The Battle For Arrakis Tiny Toon's Busters Hidden Treasure Sensible Soccer Starflight Buck Rogers
A few honorable mentions: herzog zwei, pitfall, mutant league football/hockey, desert/jungle strike, general chaos, super hang on, donald in maui mallard. Im sorry the list goes on forever. So many great games and memories
1-Shining Force 2 2-Landstalker 3-Shining Force 4-Phantasy Star 4 5-Sonic 3 6-Streets of Rage 2 7-Sonic 2 8-Gunstar Heroes 9-Madden 93 10-Flashback Wow it is hard to even make a Top 10. So many greats
Everyone has their favourites, but I think you've done a really good job on this list. I'd add Madden 92 or 93, Sensible Soccer, Speedball 2 and one of the EA NHL games but I understand the omissions if sports games aren't your thing.
Shinobi III makes a case for the top game on the Genesis for me. Great gameplay, pretty good story, and the SOUNDTRACK is just top tier for the hardware.
Mega turrican, Ranger X, Mazin Saga, Thunderforce 4, Ghouls n ghost, Kid chameleon, Dynamite headdy, Ristar, Fatal fury 2, Samurai shodown, Alien soldier, Out run, Castlevania and the best: streets of rage 2..
I missed all the 16 bit consoles as I had a Amiga throughout this period so I'm naturally gonna compare these games with similar Amiga ones, and I must say I'm impressed! Some great looking games here, not surprised Sonic being up there, played it at a friends a few times and was very impressed with the speed! Great list m8, could've done with some em ups though ;)
There's just something incredibly nostalgic about toejam and earl 1. I can't really explain what made it so great, but it was very.. original and odd for it's time.
Yeah, not gon a lie I'm 31 and didn't play Toe Jam and Earl til like 3 years ago. And after all the internet hype and my ex girlfriend talking it up so much I was so excited to play it on the genesis collection aannnndd I don't get it. I'm not saying it's a bad game I just don't get it.
I always loved the aesthetic of Earthworm Jim and I remember seeing it in Gamepro ads and other gaming magazines as a kid, but I can't get past the controls. For similar cartoony gross-out games that embody that same 90's nostalgia, I much prefer Boogerman and Ren & Stimpy: Stimpy's Invention. Both massively underrated.
@@Wil_DsenseI was actually going to include that in my list but figured it was already well known. Just wanted to mention some lesser known ones I grew up with that had that classic nostalgic aesthetic.
The genesis is the best console of all time. While the Snes has some of the best games ever made it's music falls in with the pack now. What it can do graphically is easy to do now. The genesis sound with it's unique sound chip still stands out and the great titles on it are uniquely genesis.
The 90s was such a cool, fun time. Memories flooding back! I had the Sega Mega Drive and my cousin had the SNES. We gamed and we gamed then we gamed some more.
i swear old games kicks ass of new games
True that
Games nowadays focus too much on graphics and style and not too much on gameplay and content
They often do... at "having Heart". :)
@Karl Burnett mister fpga that sounds interesting. What exactly is that? I have a raspberry pie with some old games on is it like that ?
@Karl Burnett thank you for the info 👍
Sonic 2 is not only my favourite game on the MD, but the greatest of all time!
Solid top 5 though!
Brilliant list and these games brought back some great memories. Streets of Rage 2 is a worthy winner indeed. I would also add games like Fifa word cup, F1 championship, there was also a good tennis game too. Double Dragon wasnt bad either. Another forgotten gem was DJ Boy. Thanks for the great list and overall content. Superb channel.
Excellent list, my friend.
This is the best list for me.. Maybe 50% of them were my games back then when I was a kid.. live in Indonesia.. glad we have similar games :D.
SOR2 is Also My Favorite Genesis Game of All Time with GunStar Heroes and Shining Force 2 Behind it
One day in 2019, i was playing Streets of Rage 2, and suddenly i was struck by an overwhelming urge to shout out really loud....Streets of rage 2 is the best beat’em up EVERRRRRR!!!!! And from that point on It’s not been a debate on which is the best. This is such a great game that has everything a young gamer would love. Great list, and great video!!
yeah its great for sure
Yes its the greatest of all time. Shout it out dude😅👍
omgsh if only SoR3 had the same vibe in its soundtrack... but as it doesn't, SoR2 is far better.. in my opinion...
I always thought SOR2 was perfect but unless I'm mistaken there's no double team moves but no option to switch off still being able to hit each other. That's a flaw! For that reason I'd rather just play it on my own
I liked the music better in the first game but as an overall package number 2 is my number 1 beat'em up of all time. I cannot wait to play number 4 on my PS4 PRO hopefully later this year and judging on trailers number 2 will remain number 1.
Seeing MK and SOR 3 and Aladdin at the end made me think the bar is set damn high. Those are definitely in my top 10. Glad to see SOR2 at first place
I'm a little surprised 'Sunsetriders' didn't make the cut. To this day I still hum that awesome soundtrack..
Love your list bro! Most of my favorite games from genesis are on this list
Great list and great video. Have never heard of Shining Force as an action adventure game. I love both of those very much; probably my two favorite Megadrive games. Always thought those were strategy RPGs
So many good games so it is hard to make a list. I would have put Musha, Alien Soldier, Thunder Force IV, Strider, these are fantastic games. I still play them from time to time.
Boris glad to see someone else showing some love for Strider 👍🏻
Strider Hiryu maybe not flawless but for its time it was stunning. Still wondering why sega changed the sprite for Hiryu.
Yes musha is top tier shnup. No top list can be without it
Yep Strider fo sho
Ecco?
Stider was amazing. It was the first home console games that made think I was playing an arcade game at home
Jungle Strike, Micro Machines I and II , James Pond 2, Wiz 'n Liz
wiz n liz is my wife's favourite game ever
@@oldstylegaming you're wife's cool! 😎😉
That shinobi game is awesome. I played it on capcom classics collection
Good choices, glad to see the old Sega MD getting loved. KUDOS
It might just be because I'm a certain age but I still see the shift from 8 to 16 bit as the biggest generational leap!
I’m a 21 year old who has been collecting and appreciating both the newest and the oldest games since I was 14. As a more objective party, I agree 8 to 16 is a pretty large leap. However, I think you could argue 16bit to 3D was as big, if not bigger. Especially when considering all the gameplay and control innovations that needed to take place in moving from 2d to 3d
I always consider Gta2 to Gta3 the biggest leap in graphics for me
The 8 to 16 bit jump was beyond amazing. The clean graphical jump from PS1 to PS2 was a hell of a leap as well.
Love it that you were the SuperSonics in NBA Jam! That was always my go to because I m from Chicago and MJ wasn’t on the team. Dunks and defense with Kemp and 3s with Detlef
Good list, including fan favorites that were not your personal favorite but great games, I can relate to that a lot.
Great vid mate, love your channel. People get really worked up about favourite games don't they? Some of my faves in no particular order (and I realise no-one asked)
Gynoug

Splatterhouse 2
Mickey mouse in Castle of Illusion
Biohazard Battle

Space Invaders '91

Great list! I would add castle of illusion though.
Mickey mouse was nice game
Nice list
Nice selection, I would easily add Alien Soldier, Mega Turrican, Splaterhouse 2 &3 and WWF Wrestlemania the Arcade game
Lists are subjective, I know, but where are Castle of Illusion, Thunderforce IV,, Flashback and Ecco the Dolphin ?
Pretty good list. I'll put series as one, like the Sonics, SOR, Golden Axes, Shinobis, etc. That way you can put other games people may not know about.
But this is best games not series.
My boy Golden Axe II, yessirr. 🔥🔥
Great Video, thought maybe a Desert Strike or Mega-lo-Mania might have had a mention?
Out of you 30 games, for me, only 10 deserve to be in the top 30. A good list though, my friend! Mine would have 20 different additions.
I was OBSESSED with shining force 2
Enjoyed that mate. U assisted a workout today 😂 few of my favourites missing there. Ill have to make a top games series one day to capture them 🙌👍
To my opinion Shining Force 2 was a MASTERPIECE and all time classic

Nice list just missing some shootemups. Megadrive had excelent shootemups like musha or thunderforce and others. You should try them.
Strider, super hang on , eswat, ecco the dolphin, rambo 3, mickey mouse castle of illusion.. the list goes on and on !!!!!
Golden Axe was one of my favs for sure. Played a lot with childhood friends back in the day.

But if it was my list I would’ve added:
• Desert Strike - this was the game that made me want a Megadrive!
• Immortal - scary, nice adventure & hard
• Starflight - amazing space adventure
• Terminator - nice platform shooter
• Alien 3 - nice graphics & animation
• Flashback - lovely game & depth
• Another World - excellent!
• Quack Shot - original, nice cartoon graphics
• Lemmings - hours of gameplay, nice music
• T2 Judgement Day - good shooter esp with the Menacer light gun.
Desert strike was legendary!
All 3 strikes game was masterpiece

Tough to pick top 30. Great games I could add would be Flashback, Jungle Strike and LandStalker.
Landstalker was awesome. The dark level on jungle strike was so hard as a kid lol
Battle Tech was 🔥🔥🔥 2 players
Jungle , desert , urban ... all strike game was masterpiece
NBA live 1995 and especially 1996 was 🔥🔥🔥

Nice video ☺️ The games can also be played wonderfully on the RG351 devices. I made a couple of videos about it. Greetings 👍
I always loved the aesthetic of Earthworm Jim and I remember seeing it in Gamepro ads and other gaming magazines as a kid, but I can't get past the controls. For similar cartoony gross-out games that embody that same 90's nostalgia, I much prefer Boogerman and Ren & Stimpy: Stimpy's Invention. Both massively underrated.
How about ToeJam And Earl In Panic On Funkotron ?
@@Wil_DsenseI was actually going to include that in my list but figured it was already well known. Just wanted to mention some lesser known ones I grew up with that had that classic nostalgic aesthetic.
Oh i like most if the games here ide swap some for castle and world of illusion, dynamite headdy, puggsy, smurfs. These are my top top nostalgia.
"Donald Duck in Maui Mallard" and "Mickey Mania" should be listed in the top 5.
The genesis is the best console of all time. While the Snes has some of the best games ever made it's music falls in with the pack now. What it can do graphically is easy to do now. The genesis sound with it's unique sound chip still stands out and the great titles on it are uniquely genesis.
Sega mega drive sistem probably best gameplay ever
Nah I would still go with the Ps2 as the greatest of all time.
