A follow-up to my PS1 thread, what are some underrated GENESIS games.
Dinosaurs for Hire

Saw it at work for $5 CIB, and from the name alone (and awesome cover art), it was a no-brainer. Thoroughly enjoyed the Contra clone.
Also, the fist fight is great, I suggest you watch it.
General Chaos? :?
Shining Force series
Shining Force 2 is dabess
The Vectorman games were great! Too bad Sega hasn't bothered with making a new one of those.
This. The Sonic's Genesis Collection is worth picking up for those games alone. And I think they were working on a Vectorman game for last gen but it got cancelled.Quote:

Honestly this collection will answer this question a lot, so just get it. It's only like $20 now too, maybe cheaper.Quote:

Out of curiosity, wasn't there a thread like this a long time ago? Something about underrated or overlooked games?
...I ask of the guy who made the thread and didn't even bother to actually participate...
i was always a fan of chakan, i remember little to nothing about the game other than it being a hack n slash type game, but the main character looked cool and let's face it, that's why you buy games

I just got around to beating that game last month. Picked it up for around $5-$7 because Yu Suzuki designed it. It wooped my ass until I got to around level 5 when I could take a hit. I enjoyed 100%ing that game.Quote:

And X-Men 2: Clone Wars is actually a fabulous, fabulous game. Surprising but true!
I just remember that the level select cheat code forced you to plug the controller into the Player 2 slot, which I thought was fucking weird. Then, several years later, I played Metal Gear Solid and no longer thought it was weird.Quote:
