Designed by an R&D team supervised by Hideki Sato and Masami Ishikawa, the Genesis was adapted from Sega's System 16 arcade board, centered on a Motorola 68000 processor as the CPU, a Zilog Z80 as a sound controller, and a video system supporting hardware sprites, tiles, and scrolling. It plays a library of more than 900 games on ROM-based cartridges.

Not sure what we are doing here, or how does this work... but if nominating Genesis / Mega Drive games, here is my 3 pick that does not include games already nominated:

* Thunder Force IV
* MUSHA
* Mega Turrican

I second Gun Star Heroes and Streets of Rage.

Now, can someone please explain me what we are doing? :D

Awesome picks! I second all three. Every game that gets nominated + seconded is put into the mix. One of these games gets picked by random. We all then play and discuss that game. It's a great way of discovering new games and to talk to others about games we really like.

A hidden gem that people still seem to miss. In my opinion, the best game Data East has ever made:

Atomic Runner.


One of the best shoot em ups on the platform, only released in Japan:

Battle Mania 2



I second Rocket Knight Aventures, Gunstar Heroes and Contra Hard Corps. These are some of my favorites!

I'll make sure to check out Atomic Runner. And I agree that Battle Mania 2 is awesome!

The nomination period for the Genesis is over and the randomly picked game was Chakan: The Forever Man. Get in on the action here: viewtopic.php?t=5563.

Sorry to say, but the nomination period is already over and the random game picked. Chakan The Forever Man was the game, and there's a post for it here. We do have an open nomination period for the Capcom arcade CPS systems though. Please come make your picks!
