Herzog Zwei

Ok yes, this is a NES forum. 



However, I would just like to share some love for the best Genesis game on the system.



Nobody ever seems to mention it, but Herzog Zwei is the 'Goldeneye' of Genesis. It's really the reason to buy the system. 



In fact, I just shelled out to buy a Genesis 2 and Herzog, simply to play them. Golden Axe is the only other title I plan on owning - that's how good it is!



If you've never played/heard of it, it is a RTS (Real Time Strategy) game - and one of the first ones. 



You control a plane/robot and buy other drones to do your bidding against your opponent.



Playing 2 player is awesome.



Someone else must love this game but me...no?

  • This is an amazing Genesis title.
  • Hell yeah I love it. But I'm the resident Genesis fan!
  • ^ It's the best Genesis title - no?



    At least for multiplayer?
  • Hey, since this is a Genesis topic, did you guys know a Segaage.com exists? I just found that out this morning (ironically) and all our user names & passwords work over there too. How long has this existed for? Does anyone know? I was thinking about posting this as a main topic but I'll try here first.
  • Its up there as one of the best. I really like M.U.S.H.A and Thunder Force 3 and 4 but those are more single player shoot em ups.

    I agree with you though it is overlooked. So many people cite Sonic 2 or Streets of Rage 2 as the best Genesis titles. But there is so much overlooked stuff like Mercs, Midnight Resistance, Bio Hazard Battle, Shinobi III, etc.

  • I knew SegaAge existed, but the one time I went there I checked out the auction section and a tumbleweed flew across my screen.



    I also hear that drunken degenerates frequently chat there...which sucks because their 9pm is my 9am!
  • I own a minty CIB of it just as part of the collection, but I can honestly say I've NEVER played it :-P
  • ^ Now I know what throwing up in my own mouth tastes like.

    Ive heard great things, and my brother raved about it way back when, but I just havent given it a shot yet :-P


  • Close the lid on the laptop and pop it in man, it's the best thing the Gen has!
  • check out the song "protoculture" by Del the Funky Homosapien. he drops a line about Herzog and Panzer in it. the song is all about video gaming, its pretty badass.
  • It's great, for sure.
  • I haven't even heard of it... =x
