I know you dont use a sports category, but I would nominate

Mutant League Football and Mutant League Hockey.

When i sold my original genesis and all its games I strongly considered keeping those two.

They weren't the deepest games but they were a lot of fun to play and the embodiment of pick up and play sports titles.

Most people rave about Tecmo Bowl, but for me it will always be Mutant League.

I would like to have a Sports category -- I'm kinda surprised I didn't include one earlier...
Thanks!

I edited my earlier post with a short description on why I think Mazin Fighter: Mutant Saga and Truxton should be in the hidden Gem article.

Another game i forgot to mention.

TMNT the Hyperstone Hiest.

Everyone remembers turtles in time, but this gem rarely gets remembered even though it was also a good turtles beat em up. It was similar to Turtles in time, but it had its own unique feel.

Most of those are on the list under Honorable Mentions.

Yes, prove your point by attacking my nominations. :roll:
Unlike the average Truxton
I won't act like this is on-par with say Radiant Silvergun, but back in '89 name a vertical shmup that gave you screen-filling weapons or provided a challenging equal (or exceeding) Truxton.

So you'd like us to list games that should be promoted from Honorable Mentions to Full Blown Hidden Gems.

That's what he did in the SNES hidden gems topic, so I'm guessing it's the same here

More words on Marvel Land:

- every boss battle is a unique mini-game involving something different than just jumping on more heads

- the characters are adorable

I'll also second the nomination of StarFlight. It's like Star Control, if it were an RPG. And open-world. As deep as any Genesis game ever got.
