best character to play as in streets of rage 2?

Who is the best character to play as in streets of rage 2? Of course, this is opinion based, but I really like Blaze. Everything in her stats are equal, and I like that. Her attacks are rlly cool! And yes I js started playing it lol, I got a Genesis for my 15th b-day (along with all my dad’s old games for it).

This song always randomly pops in my head at least a few times a year...and when it does, I can't stop humming it 😆

GENESIS DOES...

Drinking a pint while playing chiptunes with a M8 tracker at the interrupt festival (Ctrix performing).

I missed yuzo koshiro in Melbourne the next week due to being worn out.

Y's III: Wanderers From Y's Has Been Defeated

I beat the TurboGrafx version ages ago, but wanted to give the Genesis version a shot. I liked the game this playthrough more than I remembered. The scrolling in the Genesis version is so much better. The TurboGrafx version is slightly better overall, but I don't know if I could go back to the janky TurboGrafx scrolling again.

One thing I will say, is that the final boss is so poorly designed. God he's annoying. You have to jump to attack him and have the most precise pressure on the jump. Too low, you miss. Too high, and he hits you and takes half your life. This is while there's a bunch of crap flying around disorienting you.

He literally takes like 100 hits. It's absolutely ridiculous without the Protection Ring. Using the ring I got him down to about 15% health, and it's still incredibly hard to finish him off with 2 full heals. Flipping near impossible to make pixel perfect jumps consistently.

I really enjoyed the game though. The music was great. There is some pretty impressive parallax as well. It's a bit short though. Only takes a few hours to complete.

Does anyone own the Sega Genesis mini?

What's your opinion on it. I'm thinking about getting one. They're going for about $120 on ebay. That's cib. Also hat kind of hookups do they use? I have a normal genesis that I play on my crt tv.

New to Genesis

Hey all! I am a proud new owner of a Sega Genesis. I didn't grow up with any Sega systems, so I'm not entirely sure what games are good. I've played some Sonic games in the past and a couple other things on the Sonic Mega Collection, but don't know what games are actually good. Does anyone have any good game recommendations? Pictured is what I currently have. Thanks!

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone for the warm welcomes and the great suggestions! I think I've got a pretty good list put together!

ISO sidescroller with power/lightning whip that you can spin 360 degrees around your character.

Solved! It was in fact Turrican.

Kinda Metroidy? Also to rotate the whip you had to press a button, which made you stationary and the d-pad took control of the whip. Played this game back in the day mid to late 90's. It was brutally hard as I recall. Maybe you could also grab on to blocks and swing with the whip and also turn into a ball like Metroid, but not 100% on those 2 features. There's at least one falling level that always took me out!

Anyone have any guesses? I'd love to give this one a go with save states cuz It didn't have infinite continues and I'd like to tie up this loose end!

Good deal on this Sonic 2 CIB ?

I was out in the wild today at a local shop and snagged this beauty for $20. Usually when I see this one it's always the "not for resale" version. Was kind of glad to see this one didn't have that plastered on it lol. Other than the obvious aesthetic change not sure if there really is a difference between the two. But at any rate do y'all think I get a decent deal?

Undead Line is actually pretty approachable

I finally got to spend some quality time with Undead Line after getting the recent Retro-Bit rerelease several months ago, and I thought I'd offer my impressions.

You may have heard of this game in the context of its notorious high difficulty, but after spending a few sessions with it, I was pleasantly surprised to find it to be one of the more approachable Genesis shmups. I played on Easy mode, which is a feature not even guaranteed to be present in a Genesis shmup, let alone actually balanced to be "easy," but I was able to 1cc it by my third session.

This is remarkable, because I've played a lot of shmups over the years, some quite rigorously, and have never 1cc'd any, ever. Or really even come close. At least on paper, I think that makes Undead Line the easiest shmup I've ever played. Of course, that's only on Easy mode, and when I switched to Normal I don't think I managed to even beat two stages 😅. Still, I recommend this one if you're looking for something you'll be able to clear without quitting your day job.

One possible critique is that, in a game with a lot of different weapon types, I get the sense that most of them aren't that useful, and one of them (the twin daggers) is extremely useful. I just use twin daggers all the time and it works on everything. If anyone has other tips about the weapon types, I'm all ears.

How many of you primarily play Genesis through the Mini consoles?

I love the Genesis but I’ve actually never played on actual 1990s Genesis hardware. I’ve only played the Mini consoles. It still feels authentic to me because it’s official SEGA hardware. The game libraries are great. Some very rare games as well as SEGA CD games. I have some very legit-looking third party, 6-button controllers. It works for me.

How many of you are the same way?

Brother’s Genesis Collection

My brother gave me his old Genesis collection probably 20 years ago. I played a bit back then but don’t know too much about them. What is your favorite out of these?

Day 1: Which Game is the Best Japanese Role Playing Game on the Sega Genesis?

Okay, sorry for the wait! First things first, please read the rules below when you get a chance.

Second, this series is going to be my last (coinciding with the SNES poll). It's been a fun ride, and maybe I'll run some more polls at some point, but for now, I thought I'd end on arguably the most important consoles of all time.

The Genesis was always the cooler sleeker console with a library to match, and I seemed to have friends that all chose the Genesis over the SNES. Lucky for me, I was able to play so many great hits, like Comix Zone and Sonic and Knuckles.

I hope this series is as fun for you, as it will be for me! :)
