Gens32 uses the Kaillera client for multiplayer online gaming. You could try Kega Fusion (Best PC Genesis emu) too. There is a Netplay function, never tried it so far.

I use Kega Fusion but never thought this option was lurking right under 'file' in the menu

Thank you very much Retro

I think I'll try to play a round of Smash TV with a friend over the internet tomorrow

Played Gauntlet IV last year with a friend via Gens32+Kaillera. It was a bit laggy (don't know why, server/internet speed was ok), but a lot of fun.

TCD · 11 July 2008, 01:26

Have you ever tried Netplay in Fusion? Seems to be quite easy and I know my friend has Fusion too. Really a nice feature (too bad WinUAE Kaillera is discontinued

).

Retro-Nerd · 11 July 2008, 01:31

No, but i should try it some day. Looks indeed pretty easy, maybe better than gaming via the Kaillera client.

TCD · 11 July 2008, 01:34

I tell you if I could get this to work. Hopefully my friend has time tomorrow or at least on the weekend. That will be a lot of fun

adolescent · 11 July 2008, 06:41

One game I play pretty much every time I turn on my Genesis is Crackdown.

Muzkat · 11 July 2008, 11:38

Streets of Rage II
Streets of Rage III (to a lesser extent)
Splatter House 2 & 3
Skitchin'
Toejam and Earl
Mega Micro Machines
Terminator 2: Arcade
Castlevania: Bloodlines
Robocop vs Terminator
Outlander
Zero Wing

marcfrick2112 · 15 July 2008, 10:04

I love my MegaDrive(s) ... or is that Genesis(es)? Genesi?

Well, another big vote for M.U.S.H.A. (Musha Aleste)...

I'm a big fan of 2D shooters, so....

Whip Rush
Darwin 4081
Dangerous Seed

No one mentioned Steel Empire?

Psst, anyone have a Darius 2 cart. they want to sell cheap... ?

Castlevania Bloodlines
Contra - Hard Cops
Landstalker
Mega Turrican (gfx+gameplay superior to Turrican 3 - but Turrican 3's music&sfx is 10 times better)
Sonic
Sonic 2
Sonic 3
Streets of Rage 2
Thunderforce IV

That's about it. There are many more enjoyable Amiga- and SNES-games than MegaDrive/Genesis-games.

Anubis · 23 July 2008, 14:44

Last week I bought on flee market some MD/Gen games including midnight resistance and vectorman 2 (both with cases) and The Lost Wikings

s2325 · 24 July 2008, 08:56

Wild Snake (great Columns clone with snakes)

Leffmann · 24 July 2008, 11:22

Phantasy Star II, III and Sword of Vermilion. Phantasy Star III in particular has a brilliant intro and opening story which really catches you.

Rant: I always felt that the Final Fantasy series was too highly praised and the games were pale in comparison to Phantasy Star as far as playing experience goes. Too much story and guidance being forced onto the player in ridiculous acts and interludes throughout the game, and too little is left for the player to discover on his own. The image I have of Final Fantasy is plain, with younger and younger heroes, with bluer and bluer hair and bigger and bigger swords on their back for each one of the 37 or so sequels they've spat out so far. What a crap game

TCD · 24 July 2008, 11:42

Yes, the Final Fantasy series is a bit overrated, but surely FF is not plain. If you play the older parts (6 and 7 for example) you will find many sub-stories and things to discover in the game. I guess the newer parts (must play them one day

) have even more of it.
However Phantasy Star is a nice RPG

Mick_AKA · 24 July 2008, 13:08

Comix Zone
Vectorman
Earth Worm Jim
Thunderforce IV
Flashback
Somic 2
Streets of Rage
Klax
Desert Strike
Stellar Assault (32X)
Silpheed (MegaCD)

haynor666 · 04 August 2008, 22:50

Rolling Thunder III
Revenge of Shinobi

gklinger · 05 August 2008, 01:51

I really liked the Genesis/Megadrive version of Strider and the NHL games were wicked.

Logan · 06 August 2008, 12:51

My favorite Megadrive games:

Comix Zone
The Punisher
Zero Tolerance (FPS game on Megadrive !!!)
Columns 3
Sonic the Hedgehog
Streets of Rage
Story of the Thor / Beyond Oasis (US Title)
Road Rash 3
Outrun
Super Hang-On

Avanze · 06 August 2008, 13:00

I have always thought that The Super Shinobi should be at the top of any of these 'best of' lists. The game has everything, great sound, graphics and above all, replay value.
