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)

I've still got that knocking around somewhere, i'll have to get it out and play it sometime.

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.
