The Sega Genesis holds a special place in the hearts of many gamers, and with good reason. One of the most successful fourthgeneration video game consoles, Sega’s 16bit platform boasted a wide range of terrific titles. The Genesis’ library was so good that the console even briefly outsold the SNES at the height of the “Console Wars” waged between Sega and Nintendo throughout the 90s.

There’s a beautiful sense of agelessness to the Genesis that not many other platforms can boast. I remember playing a lot of these to death as a youth, and even though many, many years have passed since then, these games are still so easy to pick up and play today. The chiptunes are still earworms, while the visuals are still beautiful, even when compared to how much sweat beads we can see shining off Kratos’ armpits these days.

So, if you can get your hands on a Genesis there’s plenty of fun to be had. The only problem is figuring out which of the console’s 800+ titles to start with. That’s where this list of the best Sega Genesis games of all time comes in handy. Every entry is so good, you’ll even buy into Sega’s infamous “Genesis does what Nintendon't” marketing slogan.
