Top 50 Underrated Sega Genesis Games That Are Blast To Play Even Today Explored!

So many games i never heard of. I wish i could go back in time and hunt these down when i was younger

lol contra hardcorp hidden gems? It's a pop game, I thought Americans were smarter to know first (я думал американцы умнее узнают всё первыми, оказывается у русских многие игры были в детстве хиден гемами)

Thanks a lot for the timestamps with the name of each game! You're the man!

according to this guy, every damn game is a “hidden gem”

genesis does what nintend dont

In what univers Comics Zone, Contra, and Dune 2 is underrated game ? 🤔
Most underrated Genesis game is Pirates of Dark Water

It got off to a bad start right away. "The genesis was not as popular as other consoles of its day"

What other consoles? It was sega genesis vs snes. They were neck in neck. You either had one or the other. Genesis sold like what, 40 million?

come on...marvel land is utter trash

Best Genesis games:

General Chaos
Starflight
Any of the Road Rash games
A Haunting: Starring Polterguy
Golden Axe
Shining Force (all of them)
Phantasy Star 2 & 4

Consoles nowadays: 1-2 platformers, 2-3 sports games, 2-3 action games, 2-3 RPGs at best and that's almost all.
Old consoles in the 90s:
Dude, there are so many games here that your mom just won't have enough money for everything. Look for friends with cartridges.

Great job doing this video

No Kid Chameleon!?

i appreciate that Virtual Bart is on this list, it's hard as hell and there are some things that could use some polish, but the game oozes The Simpsons and it's creative with the levels as well as their gameplay. my favorite segment is the Dodge Tomato level, where you have to try to Tomato everybody, so you're the only clean student on campus when it's time for the annual photo.

Getting a very AI vibe from this script, especially since most Genesis fans know about games like Comix Zone, Toe Jam and Earl, and X-Men.

Also, the Genesis was "not as popular as other consoles at the time"?? Sure, the SNES might have inched it out in the console wars (although the SNES/Genesis battle was pretty damn close and is probably one of the most famous console wars in history), but in terms of unpopularity, consoles like the TuboGrafix 16, the Atari Jaguar, the 3DO, and the CD-I say hi.

Yup, definitely AI-generated.

This guy said "Despite not being as popular as other considered at the time" even though Sega had 65% market share. Then goes on to list some of the most beloved, well-known, classic games of the generation and list them as under rated hidden gems. I'm surprised he didn't put Sonic 2 or Streets is Rage 2 on the list.

"Despite not being popular at the time..." what?! The Sega Genesis took a commanding lead in the 16-bit market in 1989. The Genesis was the number one sold 4th generation console from 1989-the middle of 1995. Nintendo won the 16-bit generation because Sega killed the Genesis in 1995 to focus on the Saturn. This left Nintendo with the only budget console on the market that was still being supported with new games. There was no time in the Genesis's life that it was unknown or unpopular.

Addendum- If you wanted to cover an unknown console you should have focused on the TG-16/TG-16 CD/Super CD ROM ROM/TurboDuo.

I got some of these on my Switch.

So all sega games looks the same. Got it.

Why does he list some of the most popular and beloved games as "underrated"? Games like Landstalker, Toe Jam & Earl, World of Illusion or Comix Zone are basically on every "Mega Drive must play games" lists. What a idiot.

majority of these games are not underrated at all. Most are regarded as classics and are well known.

Barkley shut up and jam , Boogerman, vectorman, earthworm jim

Story of Thor, Earthworm Jim and Cool Spot

I played Comix Zone! that game was the funnest game I ever played it was absolutely a joy.

Nice list. But was there no room for even a single sports title?

Great list. I love Sega

I can hear the AI generated script over the monotone computer voice. Constantly repeat the same statements. Redundancy is always a sign of AI. Everything is “amazingly revolutionary”. Rings of power? Really? 😂

Subterrania, Battle Squadron, Ranger X, The Immortal,

Many of the games on this were not underated. They were known back in the day to be good.. and the one game i feel is criminally underated is not even on your list. Very few people know just how brilliant alisia dragoon is. Its easily a top ten of all time titles on the md.

Ahh Ex Mutants. What you get when you tell your parents you want X men and they dont know any better. Still liked the game but they knew what they were doing with that title.

The introductions to many games all seem the same. Key words: immersive, diverse, environments, gems, strategic. 😂

If you're going to play X-Men, I recommend the romhack, Ultimate X-Men. It fixes a lot of the problems the original game had. X-Men 2: Clone Wars however is a much, much, better game.

I'll also add Sparkster, a criminally underrated game, Elemental Master, Battle Mania 1 and 2 (the first was released in America as Trouble Shooter) and Panorama Cotton.

Contra Hard Corps, Castle of Illusion, and X-Men underrated?
(Laughs in 90s language)

Most of these are straight up classics. Not underrated at all

"That was the Elf Girl, she became Uncle's Stalker"
"Did someone say Landstalker?"
"NOT NOW Uncle"
- Uncle from Another World.

"The creators of Pulseman hit it big with a game called Pocket Monsters on the Nintendo GameBoy, but I know for a fact one day they will eventually make a Pulseman 2 on a SEGA console." - Uncle from Another World.

I had The Sega Channel as a kid. I must have played all these games at one point.

"Despite not being as popular as other consoles of the time"...?🙄

Maybe one console. ..the SNES and even still it did outsell the SNES 2:1 for a few years there until the end.
Both had their advantages, loved them both.

X-Men 2: Clone Wars and Taz Mania were two of my favourite non-sonic games on the Genesis.

I was just telling a coworker about Cyborg Justice.

Megadrive/Genesis has got the better Rings of Power than amazon.

Blast processing

An hour long 🤷‍♂️

I have my Sega Genesis and a bunch of my games . Man I loved " Eternal Champions"."Streets of Rage"(I had all 3) and so many others.

I just yelled at work seeing X-Men😅
Nightcrawler & Gambit ftw

I thought sonic 2 was gonna be on this list😅

Theirs a drinking game here. Take a drink every time he says diverse 🤣
