THE BEST SEGA GENESIS GAMES OF ALL TIME

THE BEST SEGA GENESIS GAMES OF ALL TIME!
THE BEST MEGA DRIVE GAMES OF ALL TIME!


Below is the most complete list released to date! Based on more than 1,000 games officially launched for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive (not counting 32 X games, Sega CD and backwards compatibility with Master System), about 240 games were selected, considering technical criteria such as gameplay, graphics, sound effects, music and difficulty. Unfortunately many good games had to be left out of the list ... Moving on from that we entered the range of intermediate games on Mega Drive, which has over 500 games with grades like B+,  B, B- and C+. This range of intermediate games has many good games - some are even classics - standing out for their gameplay or graphics, for example. They even appear on several "top 10" lists for subjective reasons, but fail to be on the present list because a comprehensive and technical evaluation was carried out. Including them here would end up making the list too big and mischaracterize it as a selection of the best games. At the end of the list are presented some new Sega Genesis / Mega Drive games, many of them with release dates between 2019 and 2020!
