Designed by an R&D team supervised by Hideki Sato and Masami Ishikawa, the Genesis was adapted from Sega's System 16 arcade board, centered on a Motorola 68000 processor as the CPU, a Zilog Z80 as a sound controller, and a video system supporting hardware sprites, tiles, and scrolling. It plays a library of more than 900 games on ROM-based cartridges.

Awesome picks! I second all three. Every game that gets nominated + seconded is put into the mix. One of these games gets picked by random. We all then play and discuss that game. It's a great way of discovering new games and to talk to others about games we really like.

A hidden gem that people still seem to miss. In my opinion, the best game Data East has ever made:

Atomic Runner.


One of the best shoot em ups on the platform, only released in Japan:

Battle Mania 2



I second Rocket Knight Aventures, Gunstar Heroes and Contra Hard Corps. These are some of my favorites!

I'll make sure to check out Atomic Runner. And I agree that Battle Mania 2 is awesome!
