Im very excited. I actually won a bid on 6 games first, then went looking for a console. Snagged a 1601 "graphics text" model.

I've always wanted a genesis, its one of the few systems I've never owned. What are some of your favorite games?

Also, mine is coming with a phaser gun, which ill probably sell. Or should I keep it?

Can't wait to hook this bad boy up to my Sharp CRT ;)

Shining Force II was the first RPG I ever played, back in the days when you could rent the entire console. I absolutely fell in love with that game.

In addition to many listed elsewhere...

Beyond Oasis. Castlevania: Bloodlines. Rocket Knight Adventures. Shadowrun. Phantasy Star series. Castle of Illusion and World of Illusion. Might and Magic II.

And the Genesis version of Earthworm Jim remains the definitive version for me.

Castlevania Bloodlines is one of the best 16 bit Castlevania games. Shadowrun is also a great RPG for the system and infinitely better than the SNES version (the latter feels more like a point and click adventure)

People often say to play Phantasy Star 2 and 4, while completely avoiding 3. PS2 feels super dated but the story holds up, PS4 has loads of QoL improvements and a new story.
