What Games Do You Get On The Sega Mega Drive Built-In?
It was among the most powerful consoles of the time. It was a jet-black beast that brought the dawn of a new era in which arcade-quality games weren't solely coin-operated. The blue hedgehog was the ultimate symbol of cool. Then, where the competition NES was a kid's toy. What was so amazing about it to play with the Sega Mega Drive?
The successor to the Master System freed the continent from the restrictions of gaming with 8-bits and sold over 30 million units. Now, Mario's most formidable foe was celebrating the twenty-five European anniversary on the 30th of November. In celebration, here are 10 games that define Sega's most popular console.
1. Super Street Fighter II
Our pocket change started to accumulate when Capcom introduced
Super Street Fighter II on the Mega Drive. This way, it brought authentic Hadoken straight to your living space - which means that pounding your opponents on the ultimate version of the most popular brawler is no longer an arcade trip.
2. Golden Axe
Double Dragon met Conan the Barbarian in Golden Axe,a sword-and-sorcery brawler which was the cause of greater school absenteeism than the chickenpox. We used earth-shattering magic spells and rode mythical beasts and defeated the devil known as Death Adder - every minute of it was epic.
3. Altered Beast
Altered Beast is among one of the greatest games, it's one of the most memorable games from the Mega Drive era, even though it's not among the most popular. In the days of earlier Mega Drive consoles, practically everyone who owned Sega's 16 bit console owned one and later traded it in. It did have actual voice samples. You can almost get the meaning of Zeus as he instructed that you "rise off your grave".
4. Shining Force II
Shining Force II accomplished a feat of awe accomplished a feat of brilliance: breaking the hard piece of the strategic role-playing game. The epic adventure combines science fiction and fantasy with the sort of sophistication and depth that was not seen since the days of controllers with only three buttons. Add the cast of characters that compete with the game of Thrones and Sega provided the answer to Final Fantasy.
5. Ecco The Dolphin
The most relaxing game from the 16-bit era, Ecco the Dolphin took players to the depths and sent them head-first into sharks' shoals and whales, making contact via sonar and exploring the wreckage of Atlantis. The underwater graphics of the game were stunning by the standards of the early 1990s however, it was more difficult than a bullseye for the Stormtrooper.
6. Samurai Shodown
A refreshing departure to Mortal Kombat's buckets of blood as well as Street Fighter's obsession with the second one, Samurai Shodown Was a more sophisticated and elegant brawler which celebrated feudal Japanese culture. The game's combat was rooted of traditional fighting arts which meant that instead of firing balls and gruesome endings, or hybrids between humans and dragons it was all the act of beating your opponent to an absolute pulp. But, of course, with honor.
7. Gunstar Heroes
Gunning and running were the rages during the exuberant days of 1993. If there's a game that did both it's Gunstar Heroes. The game took an already-established Contra strategy and cranking it up to 11 with Treasure's exhilarating shooter gave us gorgeous graphics with screen-filling bosses as well as some of the most thrilling co-op action ever seen on the Mega Drive.
8. Toejam and Earl
A game that was brimming with '90s appeal, ToeJam and Earl was another classic co-op game that featured an orange-colored, portly alien with three legs as they walked across randomly generated platforms to the rhythm of funk-infused music. It was a bit crazy in the best way possible and well worth a shot for the psychedelic, Herbie-Hanks-inspired score.
9. Super Hang-On
Obtaining an authenticator the GP license was a step too far from Super Hang-On however, that does not mean that it wasn't a true biker's delight. Racing along in full speed with the engine revving and an eerie soundtrack blasting from the speakers, this arcade game was the closest many of us got to getting the real stuff on the pavement. Other than occasionally spinning wheels in the Sainsbury's car park.
10. Dynamite Headdy
Dynamite Headdy isn't a cult game like its fellow Treasure titles Ikaruga Radiant Silvergun, Gunstar Heroes, but it's definitely one of their most enjoyable. More flashy than a Premier League footballer covered in the latest bling, the 2D platformer placed players under the control of a puppet, with detachable heads, which gave various abilities. It was a gaming version of Worzel Gummidge but not any more terrifying.
