There are countless versions of Another World – Delphine Software‘s 1991, sci-fi masterpiece – but the Megadrive version (shown here) is arguably the best of them.

Ecco the Dolphin, Megadrive/Genesis
Sega‘s classic Ecco the Dolphin was first released in 1992 for the Megadrive/Genesis.
Out Run, Arcade
Sega‘s single-player arcade classic race game – Out Run. Played and enjoyed by millions of people throughout the world.
Out Run was first released in 1986 and took video game arcades by storm with its superfast, colourful graphics, jaunty music, gripping gameplay, and cabinet steering wheel.
Shining In The Darkness, Megadrive/Genesis
When I first played Shining In The Darkness – a 1991 party-based Role-Playing Game for the Sega Megadrive/Genesis, developed by Climax Entertainment and published by Sega – I was ready to dismiss it, because of the unattractive, ‘cartoony’ graphics, the clunky interface, and the generic script.

Congo Bongo, Arcade
Congo Bongo (also known as “Tip Top” in some places) is an isometric platform game developed and released by Sega in 1983.

Landstalker, Megadrive/Genesis
Released in its native Japan in 1992, and everywhere else in 1993, Landstalker is a memorable real-time action adventure in a well-defined fantasy world. The Megadrive‘s answer to Zelda, in some respects.
Road Rash II, Megadrive/Genesis
Road Rash II (1992) is an excellent continuation of the Road Rash theme, this time with more variety (you can now kick, as well as punch and use weapons, such as bike chains), and simultaneous two-player, split-screen play.
Road Rash, Megadrive/Genesis
Electronic Arts‘ 1991 release, Road Rash, is a fantastic motorbike racing game where the riders can actually punch each other as they are zooming down the roads.
This is obviously a very dirty trick to either knock other riders off their mount, or to gain some other kind of advantage, but it is allowed in the context of this game and it is hilarious!
Resident Evil – Code: Veronica, Dreamcast
Resident Evil – Code: Veronica was released exclusively on the Sega Dreamcast by Capcom in 2000.
