    Zombies ate my neighbors is absolutely outstanding! Others I like that probably weren't mentioned on here. Death Duel, very fun arcade style game. Outlander, madmax type, part spent driving and part spent walking, I like it!

    I'd have to say my current absolute favorite game for the Genesis is Thunder Force III. Some other great games would be Streets of Rage and Bio-Hazard Battle.

    Top 20 games I own for the Genesis. Castlevania Bloodlines and Sword of Vermilion. I only own two Genesis games.
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    I must say Sunset Riders has one of the best soundtracks I have heard on the Genesis.

    Ironically, I know many that pissed off Sword of Vermillion, yet it was a fantastic game (for me). I loved every minute of it, and though a bit tedious at times, it was great playing the game through.

    Oh, and the music was, and still is, outstanding!

    Any games like Sunset Riders and Rolling Thunder 2? Besides Rolling Thunder 3 because I already know about that.

    I like it also. Even with its extreme difficulty I thought it was enjoyable to play.

    Contra, Gunstar Heroes, Ranger X, Doom Troopers, Alien Soldier (PAL / Japanese only however; I don't have a copy myself), Robocop vs. Terminator, very vaguely speaking the Shinobi games when played with shuriken...and a handful of movie license games I suppose; there are others I can't remember.

    Gosh, I thought I knew this genre better...anyway, those should be some of the highlights.

    Sunset Riders is better on the SNES, and even better in its original arcade incarnation, by the way.

    Though not Genesis related this is to give you an idea of what type of games I like.

    But I don't mean just normal Side Scrolling shooting, I mean with the whole being able to jump up to another level mechanic, seriously look at Sunset Riders and Rolling Thunder 2 to see what i am talking about.

    I'd really have to sit down and think about it if I were making a favorites list, but I know right off the bat that Thunderforce III would be in the Top 5. Great music, (starting) stage select, awesome weapons system, great boss encounters...it's just an outstanding game, IMO. It never gets old.

    This is all correct.

    Agreed on everything except the bosses, although fun to fight those things go down too fast in no. 3.

    Thunderforce III is too easy for me. I can beat that game like no other. It's like riding a bike, you just don't forget. It is however an EXCELLENT game.

    One game that's not mentioned often, and is an AWESOME platformer that's a bit different, and has EXCELLENT music is Decap Attack! Urz you must check it out on Youtube if not buy the game. I don't think you'll be dissapointed. You'll have to sit through it a while and go through a few levels to really appreciate it.

    It's highly original, has excellent graphics, good controls, and awesome wacky music. The level design is great. There's not much to hate about it.

    It's a forgotten, under appreciated, undervalued gem.

    What kind of a Genesis are you playing on? If you don't have a Genesis 1 (Hi def graphics model) get one! The music in games like Sunset Rider and Streets of Rage REALLY shine on them. You'll hear the Genesis pump out bass like none before it. It'll make the bass on a SNES shake at it's knees. Make sure to do the composite audio/video mod to get full stereo out of it though, or use the headphone out jack to hook it up to your stereo otherwise you'll only get mono.

    Granted, the only actual tough ones are in Cerberus, and the final stage, but I'm talking about the over all encounters. The digital dossier at the beginning of the stage with the bosses name, silhouette, and weak spot. The way that the alarms sounds and the word "EMERGENCY" scrolls across the bottom of the screen (I always match it's speed and follow it with my ship). The way that the bosses go down violently (especially the G Lobster). Even that weird 'cooking' sound it makes when you shoot their weak spot. I can play through that game over and over on a single life and it's always just as fun as the time before.

    Does everyone else always start their game on Seiren?

    Must be nice! My memory is fine but my precision just isn't what it used to be.


    And I always start on Hydra.
