Just got into collecting for the genesis recently, and would like your guys input as to what games I should acquire. I'm into playing anything really. I already have the sonic games and rocket knight adventures. Thanks.

    Alisia Dragoon, Aladdin, General Choas, Sunset Riders. Many many titles. I prefer Genesis over SNES anyday, any night.

    In my top 5 on the Genesis for sure:

    If I were starting out, I'd probably head for the compilations like 6-pak, triple score, the other side of the pond's Mega Games 3-in-1 series, etc.



    Just to get a lot of play with few carts, so I could be playing a bunch of games and not feel deprived while sneakily watching out for those fluke auctions.

    Rock n Roll Racing is pretty neat. It all depends on what is your poison really. RPG, sports, action, platform.

    If I were starting from scratch (and could take advice from my current self), I'd buy the 6-Pak, Jewel Master, Landstalker and/or Light Crusader, and a couple Renovation games -- probably Gain Ground and Granada. Throw in Faery Tale Adventure and Shining in the Darkness too if you like RPGs, and Golden Axe 2 and Soldiers of Fortune if you like co-op play. Those are all games that are relatively cheap and have given me that "I'm really glad I bought this" feeling.



    What's also interesting, to me, are the games that I thought I "should" own when I started collecting, but which I've felt no real urge to play. The Strike series, the Vectorman games, Jurassic Park, Gunstar Heroes...all have mostly sat on my shelf. No doubt I'll change my mind on some of those with time, but in general I've been more drawn to the offbeat titles, especially Renovation games which are almost always on my wavelength (well, the Wolf Team-developed ones, anyway).
