1. Sonic the Hedgehog - I know, not everyone's favorite entry. But it came with my Genesis, I played the hell out of it.

2. Sonic 3 + Knuckles - Possibly the greatest classic Sonic experience you can have, when played correctly. If you attach Sonic 3 to Knuckles then you get the full game as the creators originally envisioned, and it's magnificent.

3. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Yeah, everyone's favorite is my 3rd favorite...sue me.

4. X-Men 2: The Clone Wars - The reason I finally broke-down and got a Genesis, when I was a SNES guy. Fantastic graphics and music, great controls, and comic accurate (for the time).

5. Golden Axe - Played the hell out of the arcade before ever getting the Genesis version. And while it takes some small graphical hits, it's damn close to the arcade version.

6. Maximum Carnage Starring Spider-Man & Venom - Love 90s Spider-Man comics, love Carnage & Venom particulary. And at this time, I was all about beat-em ups. This was one of the best of the era, and the subject matter just spoke to me. But hard.

7. Raiden Trad - Another one I played the hell out of in the arcade. My favorite classic shoot-em up series. And this was the best home version, at the time.

8. Vectorman - Just plain fun. People say it's a Mega Man rip-off, and I'd be blind not to see some of the similarities. But it plays very different.

9. The Punisher - Another arcade favorite that we had at our local 7-11. This is the only home version of this game in existance. Great beat-em up with destructible items and lots of weapons.

10. Comix Zone - Fantastic concept for a game, being able to beat your way through comic pages. And great graphics and music. It would be higher on my list if it wasn't so damn hard. I mean, there's areas where you HAVE TO beat up an object to proceed, but beating up an object drains your health...WTF?!

The Megadrive is one of my top consoles, so to choose 10 is gonna be a fun challenge but I'll give this a shot 

- Shadow Dancer - One of the first games I played for the Megadrive when I was a kid, I was blown away. Still have my copy in pristine condition.
- Rolling Thunder 2 - Loved the whole style of the game, extremely well made and a great soundtrack. Played this game with my brother countless times.
- Ghostbusters - Loved the SD large head stylized characters in this game. Boss fights were amazing, probably my favorite Ghostbusters game of all time.
- Castle of Illusion: Starring Mickey Mouse - Disney games during the 16 bit era were the best, and I have so many fond memories of this game. The animations were really well done.
- Bare Knuckle / Streets of Rage - The soundtrack was so good, I remember hooking up my brothers speakers to it and just blasting it until the neighbors started knocking at our door.
- Kid Chameleon - So many different characters and styles to play in this game! When I was younger I could sit there and play this game the whole day.
- Landstalker - I remember seeing this game in a magazine somewhere and the screenshots completely sold me with that huge dragon boss filling up the whole screen! This was a big deal back then.
- Crude Buster / Two Crude Dudes - I use to play this game in the arcade all the time. And when I finally got it for the Megadrive I was amazed how close the port was to the arcade.
- Lightening Force - Probably my favorite side scrolling shooter on the console. Really awesome designs in this game - That boss that looks like a giant mechanical shark, so good.
- Golden Axe - I played this game so many times... I still remember thinking to myself as a kid, "wouldn't it be awesome if you cloud play as Death Adder".
