Submit your Top 30 Genesis games for the Power Rankings!

[Anthony1]

Ok, here is the deal, I want to do a Power Rankings for the Genesis, just like I did for the SNES, but I'm asking people to submit their top 30 games. I know that 30 games is alot, but the reason that I'm asking for 30 games, is because the Genesis is unique in the fact that it doesn't have the clear cut smash hits that the SNES has. The SNES has Metroid and Mario Kart and All Stars and the Final Fantasy's and Mario World, etc, etc, but the Genesis has alot of great games too, but not so much obvious smash hits like the SNES has.

So I think if everybody lists 30 games, then we get a much better idea. Also, if you feel that you can't rank 30 games, but you can rank 20, then go ahead and do that too. If you can rank 30 games go for it, but if you would rather rank 20 games that's fine too.


Here is my top 30 list to start things off.....


1. John Madden '93
2. Sonic 2
3. Earthworm Jim
4. NHL '94
5. Crusader of Centi

go ahead and list 20 that's fine.



One of the main reasons that I'm hoping people submit a list, is to get a better idea of which Genesis games I should be conentrating on acquiring.
