these are the games that showed us that
Sega could do one in 10 don’t welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 Sega Mega
Drive games for Sega Genesis games if
you live in North America
for this list we’re excluding Sega CD
and 32x games since you needed to buy
whole new hardware units to play them
plus we’re focusing on games that were
not available for other 16-bit systems
what if you don’t have blast proccesing
number 10 strider kicking off our list
is the Ninja Assassin out to stop the
Soviet Union from conquering the world
in the future a game that’s listed in
the Webster’s dictionary under badass as
Ryu players used their plasma sword to
shred through robotic monsters in
locations like a futuristic city a
flying battleship and even a jungle
filled with Dinosaurs
pure uncut awesome right there number 9
Golden Axe a launch title for the system
and a great port of the arcade game this
one featured great beat-em-up stages
letting you bash the crap out of
skeletons cavemen and those annoying
little squirrel gnome things on top of
that you could ride dragons and cast
spells that build up the entire screen
anyone who isn’t convinced by that
doesn’t have a soul number 8 Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles the hyperstone
heist
unlike the Super Nintendo which got a
port of the arcade game turtles in time
the Genesis brought a game completely
reworked with its own unique story and
stages a subtle yet useful addition to
this version was that it assigned
running to one of the 3 action buttons
which came in handy for getting out of
tight situations plus it retained the
awesome beat-em-up combat from turtles
in time to round out an already awesome
package
number seven comics zone this is a game
that received a lot of praise but little
attention when it first came out mostly
because it was released after the Saturn
had come out and support for the Genesis
was fading this game took place inside a
comic book complete with witty dialogue
in the form of text bubbles but also
featured tight combat and some of the
best graphics on the system not to
mention the game was also brutally
difficult with only one life number six
vector man in this game you’re a robot
or or bot in the future assigned to
clean up the mess left on earth after
humans have abandoned it so think wall-e
with blasters and a bubbly art stop the
game used pre-rendered 3d graphics to
give off a high visual style similar to
that of Donkey Kong Country and with
some fantastic run-and-gun platforming
in the mix it was a stellar hit
number five Disney’s Aladdin
why does Aladdin have a sword in this
game well who cares it’s one of the
reasons why this game is really good
adding swordplay combat to a
surprisingly great licensed platforming
game which also featured the work of
official Disney animators it allowed for
4 million copies of this game to be sold
making it the third best-selling Genesis
game
number four Castlevania bloodlines the
only game in the franchise to be
released on the Genesis turned out to be
one of the best and goriest on the
system this game really pushed the
system to its limits with some of the
most amazing and mind-bending levels
found on the platform Mega Drive fans
will know this game as Castlevania the
new generation which unfortunately for
them also had the violence sensor number
three Streets of Rage 2 this classic
beat-em-up is still one of the best out
there with many vast improvements over
the first game such as the inclusion of
enemy health bars and vastly improved
combat mechanics this one is best
enjoyed with a friend to help you clean
the streets of all those thugs that need
a punchin
number two GunStar heroes
one of the most unique and gripping
run-and-gun games available
gunstar heroes is an oft forgotten
classic the main feature with this game
is the ability to chain when types to
create up to 16 different shooting
combinations it also has some of the
best stages seen in this genre most
notably the fast paced minecart level
with gravity defying carts before we
unveil our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions
you
number one Sonic the Hedgehog 2 it was a
tough choice deciding between this game
and Sonic 3 but we went with 2 overall
as it is the game that truly defined
what Sonic was capable of introducing
his Spin Dash technique his sidekick
tails and 3d bonus stages this game went
on to sell 6 million copies making it
the second best Genesis game behind
Sonic 1 which was bundled with the
system and thus hardly even counts
agree with our list which Genesis game
had you shouting back up more top tens
