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.
"Sonic & Knuckles, the lock-on expansion adding Knuckles to previous Sonic games. Gorgeous, essential, one of the best 16-bit Sonics with its unique lock-on."
"The Turbo Tournament 96 version of Micro Machines, more complete, playable up to eight with adapter. A multiplayer peak on Mega Drive, an essential party game."
"An absolute peak of the run-and-gun genre by Treasure, with eight switchable weapons and gloriously over-the-top bosses. Brutal yet exhilarating, a true cult game."
"The excellent Sega World of Illusion, a Disney co-op platformer with Mickey and Donald. Gorgeous, varied, one of the prettiest co-op platformers on the console."
"The Ecco sequel, even more beautiful and mysterious, with its mesmerising underwater atmosphere. Still demanding and cryptic, with a poetry all its own."
"The censored PAL version of Bloodlines, slightly toned down but nearly identical. Still an excellent Castlevania, best played in its Japanese or US release."
