While Im a Sega fan, I agree with it being hard. I only added one game I think cause the other one was taken. I really didnt care for the shining games all that much and all that was left for me to play on a Genesis was Vermillion and Phantasy Star. IV was the best so thats the one that would have been my other choice.
I want to second the "dont do a gamegear" list. I cant imagine that many good games on the system. And even though its one of my absolute favorite systems, I wouldnt be all for an SMS list either. Mostly cause there was only around 120 SMS NA games anyhow! Could maybe do a top 25 or so.
I was thinking a Top 50, but since I'm in the minority I guess not.
But the challenge was still accepted, let's see if I can do it:
