Its detailed sprites, intuitive and varied gameplay, and engaging plot all create a memorable experience that grabbed and kept the attention of millions of Sega Genesis fans.
Unlike many of the other titles in this series, Castlevania: Bloodlines presents players with an unfamiliar antagonist named Elizabeth Bartley. The story eventually reveals that Elizabeth is hoping to resurrect her uncle, Dracula, by way of mass sacrifice.
Now the two protagonists — John and Eric — must fight to maintain the balance between light and darkness in an effort to save all of humanity. Will you stop the resurrection of Dracula at all costs? Or will you be forced to fight the omnipotent count once more? Bloodlines gameplay employs adventure and platforming elements that visibly pioneered the genre s at the time of its release.
Whether you're battling enemies, scouring levels for items and upgrades, or you're fighting a relentlessly difficult boss, Bloodlines offers more diverse gameplay than meets the eye for the avid Castlevania, Genesis, or platformer fan. Bloodlines has since been released in a Castlevania compilation title, Castlevania Anniversary Collection, for a multitude of current-gen consoles.
But there's something uniquely challenging and mystifying about the experience of the original release on its home console. Whether you're a fan of the Genesis, Castlevania, or the platforming genre, Bloodlines is a secret gem that deserves your attention and revisitation. Although the first Sonic the Hedgehog title was groundbreaking for the Sega Genesis, Sega, and gaming in general, its sequel was truly the title that laid the foundation of millions of Sonic fans' adoration.
Having achieved the accolade of being the second best-selling game on the Sega Genesis — right behind the original Sonic the Hedgehog — it's clear that Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was as popular as it was enjoyable to play. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the first title where fans were able to meet Tails, Sonic's lighthearted, technologically gifted sidekick. The gameplay in this title is tight and fast-paced, with Sonic's speed having increased since the prior title. All of the side-scrolling elements have been updated and perfected in comparison to this title's predecessor , while the 2D visuals have also received meaningful and noticeable updates.
Stages are even more detailed and daunting, and it's up to you to figure out how to traverse and overcome different obstacles and terrains as you race to fight the main antagonist — Dr. In this title, Robotnik is searching for the seven 'Chaos Emeralds,' in hopes that they'll facilitate his world domination. With more levels and challenges than ever before, it'll take more than just sprinting to reach each boss battle. But in almost every regard, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a perfect side-scrolling platformer.
Between its instantly recognizable soundtrack, its addictive and challenging gameplay, and its charismatic cast, this title truly cements itself as one of the best games of the golden age of gaming.
It's no wonder that this game tops a multitude of best games of all time lists — because it's definitely the best game on the Sega Genesis.
Although Mortal Kombat is currently an omnipresent name in the world of fighting games, its presence was notably subtler during the early to mids in the stage of its first few releases.
But what exactly brought such acclaim and popularity to this title so early on in the series history? Mortal Kombat 2, similar to many of the fantastic sequels on the Sega Genesis, is an embodiment of how to take building momentum from a first release and refine, improve, and expand elements that fans saw potential in. But even further than that, this sequel thoroughly expanded gameplay by adding multiple fatalities and new finishers e. Mortal Kombat 2 was the first title to include the continual series villain, Shao Kahn, who players must reach and defeat to save the realms of Mortal Kombat.
Serving as a chief influence for the reboot title in , Mortal Combat 2 is a title that newer fans can still enjoy in the present day. And at the time of its release, Mortal Combat 2 inspired a spin-off and a litany of copycat titles. For its gameplay, narrative, characters, and combat system, Mortal Combat 2 is a clear classic that simultaneously encapsulates and transcends its era of gaming.
But beyond that, Mortal Combat 2 is undeniably one of the greatest fighting games ever released, having permanently raised the bar for content and combat mechanics. After the immense hype and critical acclaim of the film, the Ghostbusters IP began to divest into multiple forms of media. With the release of two game titles in the 80s, Ghostbusters began to become a household franchise.
And so with the release of the Ghostbusters title on the Sega Genesis, fans, both old and new, were immediately drawn to the side-scrolling gameplay littered with references, jokes, and lovable characters.
Ghostbusters provides players with the chance to experience the universe of a series they already loved so much. After choosing between three characters — Egon, Peter, and Ray from the movie series — players have to rush around to protect this seemingly ghost-infested city after a disastrous earthquake. Similar to other side-scrolling titles, players have to fight and engage with enemies by running, jumping, crouching, and shooting. One of the only drawbacks of this title is its limited amount of levels.
However, although there are only six levels, players are free to play most of these levels in whatever order they prefer. This type of nonlinear gameplay is innovative for its time, and that sense of pioneering can still be felt while playing the game today. One of the most notable of these trends — which has since largely faded from the gaming space — is the direct adaptation of popular movies into video games.
Although this definitely still occurs in the present day, the level of adaptation and franchise fragmenting was noticeably larger, with franchise owners being much more lenient with the use of their IPs. In certain cases, however, this product push of novelty ended up creating extremely enjoyable and memorable experiences. At the top of this list of titles, undeniably, is Aladdin.
Aladdin is a fantastic game from start to finish. Its popularity is equally noteworthy, with the title having been re-released on all current-gen consoles. Following the narrative of the film, players control Aladdin in a number of side-scrolling environments as you battle your way through various enemies. In a lot of instances, film-adapted video games quickly lose their luster because of their proximity to more popular, pre-existing media.
But this Aladdin release is such an enjoyable and well fleshed out experience that it stands out as one of the only film-adapted titles to carry impact and value in the mainstream space, irrespective of its novelty. As one of the best-selling titles on the Genesis, Aladdin carries weight in the memories of longtime Sega fans. But some of the earlier Spider-man titles from the 90s directly influenced and gave way to the eventual creation of current classics.
In terms of games and films from the Spider-Man universe, we tend to view Venom and Spider-Man as opposing forces working for opposing or conflicting goals. With this piece of information alone, you can tell that this title is far from the standard Spider-Man release. Players are giving the opportunity to play as both Spider-Man and Venom while fighting through side-scrolling environments. Although a variety of Marvel heroes appear in the title including Iron Fist, Captain America, Deathlok, and more , players will mainly be offered a window into the personalities and experiences of both Spider-Man and Venom like never before.
But the most exciting aspect of this title is the in-depth view that players and fans of Marvel alike are given into the worlds of Spider-Man and Venom. And although its predecessor truly laid the foundation for the genre, Streets of Rage 2 felt like a true realization of everything that its developers Sega, MNM Software, Shout!
Designworks, and more aimed to create. Players are able to choose from a total of four characters: Blaze, Axel, Skate, and Thunder. Much like its predecessor and successors, one or two players can play while navigating the side-scrolling environments. Fight through an endless onslaught of enemies as you learn all of the new combos and attacks that have been added to characters and via new characters. New special attacks and blitz attacks have also been added, ensuring that players can explore a multitude of unique combos and abilities.
At its core, Streets of Rage 2 is a passionate amelioration of all the under-developed aspects of its predecessor. Streets of Rage 2 joins the list of a select few of its fellow Genesis titles as a game that transcended its console, and its substantial influence continues to be reflected by its inclusion in best of all-time lists.
Virtua Fighter 2 is a continuation of all the gameplay and visual elements that made fans fall so deeply in love with its predecessor, Virtua Fighter. Originally released in , Sega designed Virtua Fighter 2 as an arcade-centric release.
After its noteworthy and continued success, the title was then ported and remade for a variety of other consoles, including the Sega Saturn, PC, Mega Drive, and luckily for us, the Sega Genesis. At its core, Virtua Fighter 2 was lauded for its meticulous implementation of visual prowess. Between some of the earliest running of a title at 60 fps, motion capture features, and 3D texture-mapped characters, this title was truly at the forefront of a multitude of graphical techniques that became mainstream more than a decade later.
However, a lot of these features were removed from the Sega Genesis port, due largely to hardware capabilities.
