My favorite game console growing up was the Sega Genesis. What are the three best games made for the system?

Games available only on the Genesis are more important for this question. They don't have to be the most popular games, but they should be powerful. For me Herzog Zwei was an incredible game that almost no one knows about. It was one of the very first Real Time Strategy games, if not the very first. Take me down memory lane, I'm looking forward to this.

Only three games? I have many favorites in the Genesis. If I have to choose only three it would be:
- Phantasy Star 2
- Revenge of Shinobi
- Thunder Force 3

There are others that are good too like Herzog Zwei, ESWAT or Shadow Dancer but I guess depends a lot on your personal taste (I mean if you are into platforms, RPGs, shooters, fighting, etc). I personally dislike the ones that made it to the Genesis from the Arcades like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Street Fighter. Games like those are better to play them in the original arcade (MAME anyone?) than the Genesis.

Lastly Phantasy Star II was a great RPG on the system

Gunstar Heroes
Sonic 3 & Sonic and Knuckles combined
Vectorman

Ahh... buy you didn't tell me what you believe the top three games to be. I want to be persuaded not bombarded with statistics, lists, or other peoples opinions. Let me know what you think. What games you were passionate about.

Well, to be honest, I only game I truly played, loved and never stopped to go to the restroom was Sonic. IMHO, there is no other game that is better.

Sorry for not giving you a better answer, but I just love Sonic! ;)

Ah... this question brings me back... to the early nineties...

3. Comix Zone. There are few things more appealing to the "stereotypical nerd" than video games and comic books, and this game puts them both together. If you haven't played it, the gameplay is really unique because every level is two pages of a comic book and you have to play through each panel.

2. Sonic the Hedgehog. Nintendo Entertainment System is to Super Mario Bros. as Sega Genesis is to Sonic the Hedgehog. Finally, there was an adventure side-scroller at break-neck speed.

1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters. For me, this is the game that spawned the real fighting games like Super Smash Bros. (It was also released on NES and SNES, but I strongly prefer the Sega Genesis version, because I found the Sega controller works better for this kind of fighting game.)

Sonic the Hedgehog is still the best game ever, just for sheer fun and challenge of it.

I was a big fan of Earthworm Jim, simply because of its grossness appeal and the fact that it never got boring.

Mega Bomber Man was also a sweet throwback of the original from nintendo.

Finally, Michael Jackson's Moonwalker was really cool when michael jackson was still cool. That game was so much fun!
