Thread 11982363

As someone who is a complete SEGA virgin other than Sonic, what games would you recommend from when they actually made CONSOLES?

>>11982363 (OP)
What genres do you like?

As far as their actual home console games go I recommend playing Alex Kidd and Phantasy Star for the SMS, they are probably Sega's most important console games from the 80s, like their SMB1 and Zelda 1 so it's a nice place to start I guess

Master system:wonder boy 3 the dragon's trap

Megadrive :Shinobi 3

Saturn:Night into dreams

Dreamcast : Shenmue 2

The best Sega game for each system (haven't play the game gear)

>>11982368
anything, as boring as that sounds, ill try anything
but i guess like platformers rpg and shmups

>>11982363 (OP)
Sega Master System - Rambo
Sega Genesis - Streets Of Rage 2
Sega Saturn - Fighters Megamix
Sega Dreamcast - Shenmue

>>11982402
I watched one Shenmue stream and took up the habit of saying "I see...." in response to things now

>>11982435
I did too back in 2002 or 2003 when I finally owned a PC and chatted with people on MSN messenger or Yahoo messenger.

>>11982440
Im more of an AIM kid myself

>>11982386
A few of the best shmups:
>Eliminate Down
>Elemental Master
>Battle Mania: Daiginjou (Sometimes called Trouble Shooter Vintage. Has an English translation patch)
>Gley Lancer (Has an English translation patch)
>Thunder Force IV (Known as Lightening Force in the US)
>MUSHA

There's also Twinkle Tale (Has an English translation patch) but it's more of a top down run and gun. I still recommend it though

>>11982363 (OP)
Bulk Slash & Panzer Dragoon

>>11982551
Dead or Alive 2 and Marvel VS Capcom 2 if you like fighting games

>>11982551
Ive heard of bulk slash, it's like a mech fighter / dating sim?

>>11982363 (OP)
Pretty much the Sega version of Zelda....

Fuck conoles. Play the arcade stuff.

Sega Genesis:
Shining Force II

>>11982561
It’s a mech fighter, not really a dating sim, but you recruit cute chicks to be your navigators as you progress(each with different abilities) and you can level them up for different interactions and endings.

Unironically a Saturn hidden gem.

>>11982363 (OP)

>Streets of Rage 1 and 2, (3 too but only the Japanese version)

Wow, he’s even an elf too. I’ve never noticed that until now.

>>11982363 (OP)
dynamite cop

>>11982535
I had AIM as well. Sadly these messenger apps are obsolete now.

>>11982363 (OP)
Go watch youtube videos about it seriously. You will at least see what you may like actually in action rather than get opinions from potential shitposters. There is plenty of great games for Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast and even Game Gear. Not sure about Master System since I never played that. You could probably skip 32X and CD without really missing anything at all.

In my opinion Sega was best with Genesis and Dreamcast.

>>11982363 (OP)
master system:
not a ton of experience here, prefer the other worthwhile one of that gen, i know golden axe warrior is really neat, and rastan is decent on it
genesis;
there's a good 1/10th of the library worth playing and probably a good 2/3 of that 1/10 is REALLY worth playing so i'll give some notable picks
alisia dragoon, shinobi 3, splatterhouse 2 and 3, musha, thunder force 4, battle mania and battle mania daiginjo, truxton,fire shark, biohazard battle, rocket knight adventures, valis 3.
saturn:
radiant silvergun
cotton 2/boomerang
guardian heroes
burning rangers
bulk slash
dreamcast:
illbleed (hit or miss for most, I love it)
crazy taxi
sega bass fishing
there's more than this to every console here but i hope you enjoy what you play op

Sega's magnum opus

Wow thanks for all the replies

Sega RPGs I like:
Lunar 1 and 2 (Sega CD)
Grandia 1 and 2 (Saturn/DC)
Evolution 1 and 2 (DC)
Phantasy Star I and IV (MS/MD)
Skies of Arcadia (DC)

Platformers:
Alex Kidd games (MS)
Psycho Fox (MS
Dynamite Headdy (MD)
Rock Knight Adventures (MD)
Jet Set Radio (DC)
Napple Tale (DC)

Play Sega licensed games. Dick Tracy is a great start, this game is a masterpiece.

Gargoyles, Golden Axe, Kid Chameleon, Ristar, Ranger X, Castle of Illusion

>>11982386
Phantasy Star 4
Radiant Silvergun's console version is actually worth mentioning over arcade
Same with some other shmup arcade ports, but really a list of Genesis/Saturn/Dreamcast shmups would probably give you a lot to chew on; those libraries have been really well explored/documented by shmupbros. Gl brotha

>>11984302
Meant a list of exclusives*
Ex for Genesis https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=70297

>>11982363 (OP)
here's my favorites for each of the consoles they made that matter at all. In general, Sega Genesis/CD > Dreamcast > Saturn

I’ll have enough games to go back and try to last me a while it seems lol

Started this thread cause I never dove deep into gaming that much before so thanks fellas

blessed thread

It cones down to genre. I always enjoy a round of Sega Rally Championship.

Flicky is so good

>>11982363 (OP)
Mega drive: easily Shinobi 3

Saturn: die hard arcade, pick up and play classic

Dreamcast: obvious choice is shenmue, but I’ll be a pretentious cunt and say Gundam Side story 0079 Rise from the ashes. Amazing game back in 99, favorite gundam game to date.

Sega X: too many..,halo, ninja Gaiden, breakdown, etc.

>>11982363 (OP)
>>11982368
SONIC ADVENTURE 2

>>11982561
It's just an action game, don't complicate it.

>>11986410
I’ve already gotten all the emblems in 2 Battle
But yes
Kino game

I'd play some nice Resident Evil clone. Does Dreamcast have some of those, other than Blue Stinger? Or maybe some other generally action/adventure titles

Vectorman

>>11986905
Carrier

>>11987153
carrier is a pretty good time. lasts a little too long, but I had fun.

>>11987153
>>11987287
Thanks anons, I'll check it out

How does one lose their Sega virginity? Do I have to take the Saturn out on a date first? Do consoles put out on the first date? I don’t want to date a slut…

>>11987879
>Do consoles put out on the first date?
Only Megadrive. You have to take the rest out a few times first.

>>11982363 (OP)
I've been going through a Sega autism run myself and have been pleasantly surprised to find a huge chunk of their library is actually really good

Playing Sakura Wars right now, I really like it

>>11982369
pretty grim, even the best AK game is maybe a 6.5/10, and while Phantasy Star is good it's nowhere near Zelda good.

>>11982593
all their arcade titles got ported to home consoles. the Saturn and Dreamcast were designed specifically to be able to run arcade-perfect ports. in fact, their later arcade games used modified Dreamcast hardware.

I realized I actually need to take time to play video games for any of the suggestions in this thread to matter
How does one play video games past the age of 22

>>11988728
I have a huge list of recommended games on my phone that I've gathered from IRL people or hanging around on the Internet and yet 9 out of 10 times I end up browsing my collection of romsets and picking something that has a cool name.
Either that or I play a game where somebody praises it's strengths in detail in a way that actually makes me want to try it

>>11988728
>How does one play video games past the age of 22
Click on the shortcut, launch it.

3 day weekend so Ill start chipping away at suggestions today
to blog post a bit i seriously waste too much free time
turn into a vegetable doing nothing then stress over doing nothing

balancing feeling motivated but not stressed
Setting expectations but not requirements
Chilling out and not being lazy

>>11982363 (OP)
Streets of Rage 2
Comix Zone
Vectorman
Eternal Champions (gameplay isn't the best but you can spend dicking around in training mode or reading the character bios - no fighting game in 1993 had these in-game)
Shinobi series
Virtua Fighter 2
Thunder Force 4 and 5
Panzer Dragoon 1-2-Saga-Orta
Toejam & Earl (first game is rogue-like, 2nd is platformer but with gigantic levels where you have to search a lot, both are full of funk)
Ecco the Dolphin series (pink floyd inspired undersea horror)

>>11982587
I would suggest crusader centi instead for a Zelda clone.

>>11988728
>How does one play video games past the age of 22
insert gaem and press buton

>>11990637

>>11982363 (OP)

>>11982363 (OP)
Sakura Taisen is essential

>>11988728
use hands

>>11982386
Platformers: Mickey Mouse: Castle of Illusion, Ristar, Flicky, Nights... Into Dreams, Revenge of Shinobi & Shinobi 3
RPGs: Phantasy Star 1, 2 & 3, Shining in the Darkness & Shining the Holy Ark & Skies of Arcadia, Shenmue 1&2
Shooters: Thunder Force 3&4, Lord of Thunder, Fantasy Zone 1&2, Space Harrier, After Burner 2, Virtual Cop 1&2, House of the Dead 1&2, Panzer Dragoon & Zweig, Rez, Ikaruga, Radiant Silvergun

On top of this, I'd recommend: Wonder Boy in Monster World, Shining Force 1&2, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage 2, Daytona, Sega Rally, Outrun, Jet Set Radio & Yakuza 1&2

>>11986905
Deep Fear on Saturn is another Sega Resi-like

The Ring on Dreamcast is god awful, but it's another survival horror.

>>11982363 (OP)
As much shit as I'll get, honestly nothing (with a possible exception for stuff made by Yu Suzuki). SEGA did absolutely nothing great that wasn't essentially done better by a game on another console. The entire SEGA library consists almost entirely of 'rainy day games', things you'd find perfectly entertaining if you were stuck with nothing else to do, but nothing there's much reason to go out of you way to play.

I grew up with a Megadrive and barely have any desire to go back to it except for curiosity's sake.

>>11982379
Case in point, if these are your examples of the absolute best each console offers, then everything else is weaker than these games.

>>11982386
Sexy Parodius is probably my favorite shmup on the Saturn
For Genesis, Truxton is good

Best Dreamcast game?

Wtf

OP abandoned his thread, how sad. Come back!!

>>12002297
ive been here

Ok fine I guess I will try something from these lists tonight, need to get on it

>>11995616
Power Stone 2

>>11982363 (OP)
>Consoles
Already missing the forest for the trees. Genesis and Dreamcast are the only consoles that remotely keep up with Segas arcade offerings

>>11995616
ILLBLEED

>>12005853
I thought Saturn was known for good arcade ports. They are shit?

>>12005861
Nigga you can emulate the arcade versions. Some of the arcade ports ARE good but you don't wanna only be looking at the ports.

Streets of Rage 2
Shinobi 3
Emergency Call Ambulance
Sega Rally 2
Jet Set Radio

Streets of rage 2 does not get enough credit for being a perfect game. The beat em up genre was designed for arcades. Keep dumping in quarters and you see some crazy shit.
Streets of Rage 2 has a lot of different enemies, lots of different attacks, which already makes it a stand out in the genre. But it manages to be an ideal console game where you can actually get through it based on skill instead of dumping in quarters.
You can use positioning to avoid all damage and remain on offense for the entire game. Some enemies even have a brief “tell” animation before they attack. When I was a kid I could play this on the highest difficulty, something I never did unless it was needed for more content, and make it to the final level without losing a life. It really was built to be mastered.
