and I've never even played one before.
What games should I buy?
Sonic 1-3 of course
Phantasy Star 2 and 4 (not 3!)
Shining Force 1 and 2
Gunstar Heroes
Dynamite Heady
Rocket Knight Adventures
Dr. Robotnick's Mean Bean Machine
I'll admit that as a kid, I was totally snowed by Sega's advertising (Nintendo's self-censorship did contribute to that). I didn't realize how much the Genesis sucked until the 16-bit wars were almost over.

I agree, Phantasy Star 3 wasn't that great.
phantasy star 1 & 3
What joliet_jane said, plus:
Comix Zone is an absolute must. One of the most unique gaming experiences that still can't really be found elsewhere.
Other good options:
Toe Jam & Earl 1/2
Ristar
Sonic Spinball
Eternal Champions
Landstalker
Mutant League Football/Hockey
Streets of Rage
Altered Beast (only if you can get it dirt cheap though)
Ghoul's n Ghosts
Revenge of Shinobi
Beyond Oasis
Earthworm Jim 1/2
Flashback
Out of this World
Ecco
Rock n' Roll Racing
Super Hang-On
Vectorman (although personally I didn't like it much, just about everyone else loves it)
Quote from: SageClock;1253483Flashback

Ristar and every Sonic game.
-Sonic 1,2,3,knuckles (of course)
-shining force (fucking amazing)
-Golden Axe
-Battletoads
-Aladdin
-The Lion King
Sonic 1, 2
Ristar
Mercs
Dynamite Heady
Fucking Battletoads
The golden axe series and the valis series. Must owns for the genesis.
Maybe you should get a 32X and a Sega CD just for shits and giggles?

How could I forget Sonic & Knuckles?! ... because it's exactly like 3, I guess. Oh well.

sounds like the toxic avenger or probably more precisely the toxic crusaders which was saturday morning cartoon enough to spawn a video game.

My collection of games is just for shits and giggles, and a Sega CD would be worthy, but the 32X...guh, I dont know
Sega CD is cool but there isn't much for the 32x. I have one myself.

Didn't Tom Fulp have something to do with this series at one time? Like a cameo or something?
EDIT:
Oh lord, he did:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1024348/So he gets his eyes poked out. I must see this.

Virtual Bart
Fffffuck yeaaah
Oh by the way, try to find Stimpys Invention, its one of Krikfalucis works
You really must get Toejam and Earl. Also Sonic Spinball is good if you can find it.
I could never get past the first level of sonic spinball.
Get Double Dragon,Battle toads,Spiderman Separation anxiety,Alien 3,Alladin,Comix Zone,Clay fighters,Doom Troopers,Busby 1 And 2,Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3,Earthworm Jim 1and2,AAAAAAAAh!!!! Real Monsters,Zool,Zombies Ate My Neighbors,And X-men 2 Clone Wars in my opinion way better than #1.All these games were great when i was a kid
That one where you're a surfer dude.
Ahhh yes, I forgot about Kid Chameleon and Earthworm Jim. Classics.
Earthworm Jim, Comix Zone, Zombies Ate my Neighbors, and True Lies.
Aaaaa I was about to tell you Sparkster 2 but you got it on list.
Ok, I got the Genesis in the mail yesterday, and here are the games, i have for it, and what I think of them.
Rampart: This game is like the grand daddy of all those "defend your castle" games on NG. Its alright, I bet its better on multiplayer.
Captain America and the Avengers: A beat em up, of course. Its sub par.
Sonic The Hedgehog: Finally getting to play this game for the first time, and I must say, ya its fun.
NHL '94: Fun, but hard as FUCK. I can't even play it.
Ren and Stimpy: Its hard as hell, but thats what makes it fun. Plus, you can slap Stimpy.
Taz-Mania: Dull, shitty music, and hard as hell. The controls suck, too.
The Lion King: one of the best disney movie games, and I still find it pretty fun. Alladin was better, tho.
Super Off Road: This game comes in a cardboard box, says its for Sega Genesis and Mega Drive consoles, but it won't play for some reason.
Sonic The Hedgehog 2: Ya, fun! I don't need to explain.
X-MEN: Beat em up game, but its co-op, so if you have a friend willing to spend a shit load of time trying to beat this game, its pretty fun.
Columns: Classic puzzle game, still fun.
NFL Football '94: I don't understand this shit.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Hyperstone Heist aka Turtles in Time for SNES fuck yeah
You better get Sparkster, its one of Konami's forgotten mascots.
Get World Series Baseball.
And NBA Jam.
And NHL is a little cheap because if the goal you need to score into is on the bottom, it's way easier to do than if it's on the top. Especially if you just push your player into the goal. It's as if gravity works against you in that game.
Our family's had a Genesis since I was born and before then, even, so I grew up gaming.
There's actually a funny story about our Genesis.
My dad wanted to get a Sega Genesis, but mom was pregnant with my brother. So, she bought my Dad a Genesis, but she didn't buy any games for it, as a joke. Well, when my grandmother heard about this she bought a shitload of games for the system.
Quote from: Marlix WrightAnd NBA Jam.
NBA Jam was the only official sports game I ever liked.
BOOGERMAN!
Wonderboy in Monsterland is a great game, and everything else worth mentioning you have down already.
Quote from: Lebronus James;1265723Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Hyperstone Heist aka Turtles in Time for SNES fuck yeah
My favorite beat em up, ever. Also the first one I ever played.
ROAD. RASH. 3
Quote from: joliet_jane;1253473Gunstar Heroes
Holy shit yes!
I was practically addicted to that game!
Me and my brother would buy lots of sweets and coke and play it for hours on end in our spare room. Good times.
Rocket Knight Adventures
SplatterHouse II (and 3, but its timed and a maze unlike 2)
taz in escape from mars
thats all i can think of
