--- Quote from: turf on October 07, 2020, 12:01:29 am ---My opinion... strictly my opinion I’d start with Dreamcast. Most of the really good games are really common. Yeah, there’s expensive stuff, but those arcade style games are pretty affordable. Soul Calibur, Hydro Thunder, Crazy Taxi; these are all really common but great games. My favorites on Genesis are stupid high. That’s why I don’t think it’s the best to start with. Castlevania, Contra, Gunstar Heroes, and TMNT are all expensive games. Emulate them or get a Genesis Mini. --- End quote --- Agreed that would be a excellent place to start you could concentrate on the cheeper stuff first then if you want gradually get the more expensive stuff.In my opinion the Dreamcast is the best sega console anyway. |

I get it everyone wants the sought after games but doesn't dreamcast do the very same thing with those pricy gems such as cannon spike and gigawing. I'll take dreamcast my favourites are fatal fury mark of the wolves, marvel vs capcom 2 or project justice or 3rd strike I'm no expert but all those titles are also really pricy if not close or surpassing those genesis values, most of those genesis examples are 100ish cib same can be said for dreamcast I'll give dreamcast some props though, in europe at least power stone is a very cheap title less than 20$ cib and that's definitely an S tier game on the system let alone one of the best multiplayer experiences on an old system period and sonic adventure is actually a good 3d sonic game If where talking say master system same thing your sought after titles are phantasy star golden axe warrior, ninja gaiden and master of darkness, some of the best titles on the system that any master system owners want but again kinda pricy. |

Those games are generally at least double - if not more - than the price of the best / most popular games on the SNES and NES. The problem with Genesis is that most of the best games are not common like those other consoles. Sure everyone has some favorites that are probably a bit more pricey, but when you get down to brass tax the Mario games are amazing and usually $20 a pop. |

Let's go to zelda or super metroid wich suddenly are 100$+ to almost 200$ for super metroid. I know cardboard is fragile but I'm just saying even common games turn into gold with nintendo. with genesis cib doesnt give a massive price increase naturally. super metroid is a very popular yet it's double the price than most genesis games in cart only format. same price as gunstar heroes or contra hard corps cart only. wich both still ends up way cheaper cib. contra hardcops and gunstar heroes are 100ish$ cib on genesis all my 4 titles mentioned are in that 100ish cib mark aswell. project justice is 200+ $ and canon spike is 300$ out of those 4 genesis examples none surpass the 200$ mark and half is 100ish |

Like I said, it also depends on your definition of expensive, not to mention my use of the word most, and not the word all. Plus the Sonic games are not good. I don't care who hears me. :P |
