good overlooked titles on 16-bit era consoles?

I know I've heard of Run Saber before. What systems are all those on?

SNES.

Run Saber is pretty much an exact clone of Strider. May as well be a 16-bit sequel..much more so than the US Gold Strider II. It's sad because how bad Strider Returns outshines how good Run Saber is. Before Strider 2 on PS1 this was the best sequel even if not official we had.

I really like arcade ports and the Genesis has a lot of them
Here's some good Tengen ports.
Road blasters
Marble Madness (Japanese version)
Gauntlet 4 ( that music )
Paperboy
Pit fighter ( if that's wrong, I don't want to be right )

it's always fun to explore.

Darkwing Duck for the TG16, and DJ Boy for the Gen are two that pop into mind off the bat. I know Darkwing is hated on, but I have always liked it for some reason.

I'm a fan of Metal Combat but a super scope is a pre requisite for this one.

pretty BA though

Another one I'll recommend: Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures. It's on both Genesis and SNES (I'm not sure what the difference is as I only ever played the SNES version). It's a game people like to hate on but honestly, I love it. It's kind of like a point and click adventure but you don't directly control Pac-Man, rather you're an observer/friend of his who basically tries to help him out.

And I just love the Pac-speak he talks. I am so miffed that Pac-speak didn't become canon. (Or did it? Admittedly I never followed the series after this)

I actually mentioned Pac-Man 2 in my first post. Good memories with that game. Great, bright, colorful graphics, catchy music. I liked the hang gliding part the most I think.

Like you, I can really only list games that I almost never see mentioned, so for all I know the games I'm about to mention are super popular. (For the record, I love ClayMates, and I played a ton of Virtual Bart as a kid.)

Some SNES games that haven't been mentioned (in no particular order):
* Krusty's Super Fun House - Really has nothing at all to do with The Simpsons, but it's a fun little puzzle game about smashing rats with a giant boxing glove/mallet thing.
* Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse - To be fair, I suspect this game is better-known. Fun platformer with neat powerups.
* Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose

Question: Is Kid Chameleon on the Genesis well-known? Because it's a fun action platformer that I've never seen mentioned anywhere, save from my friend who recommended it to me back in the day. Ditto for Vectorman.
