Top 10 Sega Games I Would Love to See Revisited

This is one of those games where the original was, and still remains, the best of the franchise. In Phantasy Star you fight classic RPG style, turn based, through 3 alien worlds, and discover a land rover, a robot, space ships, and a ton of nasty creatures. This game completely changed the way I looked at RPG games and combined Sci-Fi and Fantasy RPG's into one great game.

2) Shadowrun - Sega Genesis

Shadowrun originally was a paper and pen RPG that was set in the future, 2010, post apocalyptic USA. This adaption, unlike the Super Nintendo version, stuck very close to the games original design. The story line was incredible, the combat was authentic, and for a techno-scifi-RPG it really did the dang thing. This game pulled all the best of a Classic pen and paper game together with graphics and made me go "WOW!"

3) Gauntlet - Sega Genesis

Gauntlet was an awesome arcade game, long before legacy, and still today I am known to quote "red wizard needs food badly!" the games graphics were good for the time, and top down shooters like Zelda hadn't been released yet so it gave us a new perspective as well. The simplistic controls of the day gave us 8 way directional shooting and plenty of quarters lost to a game that had no end. Move over Pac-man, the Gauntlet has been released.

4) California Games - Sega Genesis

During the late 80's and early 90's Sports games were not very sophisticated. At a time when Football, baseball, and soccer were all we had, California games stole a huge market. Imagine rather than playing football you could be playing hacky sack? That was the premise for California games. It took the best of the California beach sports and turned it into a game that even we geeks could play.

5) Michael Jackson's Moonwalker - Sega Genesis

This game was awesome. It picked up where the movie left off and gave you total control of Michael as he storms through bad guys singing, dancing, and doing his signature spins. Musical games were just arriving on the scene and mike did it big with this one. The only reason this one ranks in the top 5 was Mike and his spins were incredible, real life or video game, and I was a big Mike fan in the days.

6) Revolution X -Sega Genesis

Aerosmith, Music, Guns, and a revolution! Wow, what more needs to be said? This was one of my favorite light gun games. The Aerosmith music was the best game music I had heard in forever, and I loved killing corporate baddies. With today's graphic accelerators this game could be incredible all over again. Hey! Whatever happened to the light guns anyways?

7) Choplifter - Sega Genesis

I originally pumped a million quarters into this arcade game. I was very happy when it became a home console game. This game is a very simple one, avoid the enemy AA, tanks, and aircraft, rescue the POW's, and fly them back to your base. It was a very fun side scrolling shooter and later spawned a whole franchise.

8) Beavis and Butt-head - Genesis

Ok, so they were retards, inbred, and should be poster children for birth control. Who cares they made us all laugh and who doesn't have a cornholio moment every now and then? This was a great game, loogie spiiting!, and deserves a chance at a re-make. Doing America B n' B style made my days go by and the mini-games were awesome too.

9) Lemmings - Sega Genesis

I am not a fan of most puzzle games, Tetris ticked me off a long time ago! But when it came to these furry little buggers I was addicted. I remember playing this game for hours and being yelled at to do homework. Mom, this had to be your bane back in the day, because I would wake at 2am to watch these creatures explode, parachute, and otherwise follow each other to doom.

10) After Burner II - Sega Master System

I loved this game in the arcade. This was one of those simulators that moved. Space harrier and Afterburner made me want to get a VR machine a decade before they really existed. You were the pilot behind enemy lines and had to fight your way out. This game had INCREDIBLE graphics, way ahead of it's time. Just for the graphics alone this game deserves a revision.
