1. Elemental Master
2. Alien Soldier
3. Twinkle Tale
4. Advanced Busterhawk Gleylancer
5. Dynamite Headdy
6. Aero Blasters
7. Rent A Hero
8. Atomic Runner
9. Columns III
10. Marvel Land

Nice to see Alien Soldier and Gleylancer on there. As with most things some of the best games never made their way West. Wasn't Aero Blasters TG16/PC Engine? I know their was an Arrow Flash shooter for Gen/MD.

Mine:
Gunstar Heroes
Light[e]ning Force
Streets of Rage II
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Thunder Force II
Steets of Rage
Biohazard Battle
Super Hangon
Road Rash II
Golden Axe II

Thanks, very true many gems stayed in Japan unfortunately. When I was really into Treasure dev, Alien Solider was on my bucket list for years. Such an action-packed game. I was going to mention Gaiares, or Arrow Flash (MD/GEN has a bunch of solid shoot'em ups) but decided with Gleylancer ... since I never heard about this game until very recently (2-years ago) I completed it, it really took me by surprise how great the overall game is from the presentation to power-up system.

Yes- Aero Blaster also went by Air Buster is on TG16/PC which is also solid in its own right. Biohazard Battle, nice choice.

Ahh, Awesome! I did not know there was a MD version. Played Alien Soldier for the first time on the Genesis Classic Collection for Switch. Great stuff.

Since most of my mainstays (Sonic, Ristar, Streets of Rage, Thunder Force series) have been brought up, I'm gonna try to go for a few games no one's mentioned yet:

Cyborg Justice: A never-named game from my childhood. It's been a while, maybe it doesn't hold up as well as I remember, but it's an interesting premise. It's a 2D beat 'em up where you play robots. You build a custom bot for yourself at the beginning of the game, which changes up your attacks/appearance. Here's the kicker: maybe you run into an enemy bot with the flamethrower arm, & you regret taking the chainsaw arm. So- steal his! You can literally rip apart any baddie you go up against & take their parts as your own. Be careful, though- they can do it to you too!

Sparkster: A couple folks brought up Rocket Knight Adventures, so I'm surprised no one's mentioned its awesome sequel!

Landstalker: An isometric action RPG that's great fun for fans of old-school Zelda. Just, um, make sure your can save. I lost a lot of progress to a dead battery once.

Since Aladdin's been mentioned a few times: if you get stuck, pause & quickly hit a,b,b,a,a,b,b,a. Do it right & you'll auto-complete the level. I once beat the game at Disneyland doing that. ;)

It's funny that ABBA was such an influence on all these old school games ;) I think if you hit a, b, b, a you can respawn after a game over in Ikari Warriors on NES or something
