Best Sega genesis games

...galam, are you coming on to me :oops:

Then they would be perforated, Lanny Poffo.

thought this was known - they didn't do this because it'd take the joy out of a clean cut otherwise  :-"

Most of the cases that I have without hang tabs are definitely not "clean cut".  A lot of them are all crooked with excess sharp plastic left over or have been unevenly torn off.  One was sharp enough to cut my forearm when I quickly reached over/between my Genesis games.

agreed, it's a form of art.  i intend to do a helpful youtube tutorial one day on this very subject!

Lol, I never cut off the tabs unless they're already mangled.  I've found a nice sharp x-acto/utility knife and a steady hand is all you need to make them look nice.

I put a few drops of hydrochloric acid on the tabs. A few applications and you are good to go.

Here's one that I doubt anyone has mentioned: Scooby-Doo Mysteries

No, I am NOT trolling. It sounds like it would be just another licensed platformer, and as far as I know, the SNES version is just that, but the Genesis version does something so unique for the platform and does it so well, that it deserves more exposure. It's actually a LucasArts-style point-and-click adventure game, and a fairly good one at that! It's not easy or dumbed down, either. Some of the puzzles are deviously challenging , but quite clever. If you're into this style of game, you NEED to check this out, Scooby-Doo fan or not.

Seconded! I played through Scooby Mysteries for the first time just last year, and I was surprised at how good it turned out to be. Too bad there weren't more games like this on the 16-bit consoles...

My all-time favorite Genesis game, though, has to be Landstalker. It has some of the best dungeons and puzzles of any action-RPG, and it looks great (as long as you can deal with the 3/4 perspective).

Landstalker is a polarizing game, but at least its cheap. So if you wind up in the camp that dislikes it, at least it won't have cost much.

I was very disappointed by it back in the day. It looked fun in screen shots, but doesn't live up to its potential.

Two things that stand out to me are lack of boss fights and impossible-to-know-for-certain-the-position-of-platforms, which set you back too far if you guess wrong.

I can totally get that. I was the only one of my circle of friends to actually beat Solstice on the NES, so I think I was pre-conditioned for isometric platforming by the time I got around to Landstalker.

Yep, the Isometric view just made it harder to control and play. I don't "dislike" the game. I think it would have been a lot better with an overhead view. It's too bad the PSP remake with the controllable camera never got finished.

Yeah Dan!  I was so excited when I saw video of the Landstalker remake for PSP.  I was so disappointed when I heard it was canceled.

I have to go with Bare Knuckle III (Japanese version of Streets of Rage III).
