Super High Impact

[wacko_jacko]

How about Sparkster/Rocket Knight. That was pretty cool.

[Chaotica]

Splatterhouse games: 1 & 2 have very poor playability, but the third is very playable. All are quite twisted and scary tho!

 

Micheal Jackson's Moonwalker is another good one.

 

Shadow of the Beast games are always great, whatever the platform. Again, they are very hard.

 

And Skitchin is one great rollerblading game! It roxxors!

General Chaos

Gunstar Heroes

Primal Rage (graphics suck, but it's better than the SNES port)

Star Wars 32X (not sure on the actual title, plays kinda like starfox, 2 player coop in a Y-wing)

Virtua Fighter 32X

I like playing all the sonic games, Altered_Beast, Samurai showdown, Beavis and butthead, DragonBall Z, Battle Toads, Clay fighter, for laughs i like to play Micheal jackson Moonwalker, Shining force 1 and 2, Rockman MegaWorld, soleil.

[Z-Neo]

Mega Turrican is a good one for action fans. Also worth noting are:

Chaos Engine

Dragon's Fury

Earthworm Jim 1 and 2

Jungle Strike

Urban Strike

[Madman]

Im a big fan of RoadRash, and me thinks Road Rash 2 is the best of the series. Steering and music are better than in part 3, and the bikes dont look like glued in afterwards.

Besides that you people forgot the Urban/Desert/Jungle Strike series, and ofcourse Landstalker, a highly underrated Action-RPG, Zelda-Style but Isometric view.

[CJ Jackson]

I don't anything can beat Sonic the Hedgehog 1 what I heard from is it was the best game ever.

[olaf]

I've recently found Twinkle Tale (J) to be quite an enjoyable game. It's a shooter game sort of like Ikari Warriors for NES, but with medieval/fantasy RPG-like graphics/characters. It features power-ups and special "weapons".

[Krosigrim]

RPG:

Vermillion Sword

 

Correction. I didn't have this game so I looked for it. It is actually known as

 

Sword of Vermilion

 

My list of Sega games is real small, so I'm hoping this gets the job done. Thanks for the recommendation!

hahahaha I had an obsession with ToeJam & Earl. Ranger X was pretty awesome.

[Shadi_Potter]

Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, X-Men, and Shining Force are among my top tier Mega Drive games.

[NameUser]

Many of these games are available on the Genesis Collection, for both PSP and PS2 (neither of which should cost you more than $15). I have the PSP version, personally, and the emulation is seamless. I'm quite amazed as to how good these games still look even with an LCD screen to show off all of the pixelation.

 

Shinobi III = Ninja on surfboard. Need more be said?
