Known as the Genesis in North America, the Mega Drive gave Sega its hour of glory and a rock attitude: Sonic, Streets of Rage, Gunstar Heroes, Phantasy Star. This Top 100 gathers the best of Sega's 16-bit, re-tested and re-ranked by RomWize, each title with its re-evaluated score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"A masterful adaptation of Chahi's masterpiece, prettier and more complete than the Amiga original. Cinematic, mysterious and still wonderfully striking."
"A Shiny Entertainment gem starring an earthworm in a spacesuit, absurdly hilarious. Beautiful animation and varied level design, a must-play classic."
"The direct Earthworm Jim sequel, wilder and even more idea-rich. Uneven at times, but still hilarious and beautifully animated, a late-life must-have."
"The absolute peak Technosoft Thunder Force IV, a legendary horizontal shooter. Gorgeous, demanding, cult soundtrack, one of the greatest shmups ever."
"The censored PAL version of Bloodlines, slightly toned down but nearly identical. Still an excellent Castlevania, best played in its Japanese or US release."
"An action gem from Game Arts starring a lightning-wielding heroine and four flying familiars. Lovely art direction and a heroic fantasy atmosphere done right."
