If you could only own 1 Sega Genesis game what would it be?

[dunpeal2064]

not if you play the superior Japanese rom where you get 3 hits before you die, not sure why they thought the game needed to be harder when they brought it to the US, usually its the other way around

The US release IS the superior version. I like my R-Types with checkpoints, and my Contras with 1-hit death.

If I could only have one game (and not allowing something like the 6 Pak) I would pick Toejam and Earl. Randomly generated levels would give the game a ton of value, and if I ever happen across someone ELSE on this deserted island, we would be set. On a bad day, the music and virtual high-five may be the only thing keeping my sanity in check.

...Mega Everdrive cart with all the roms on it?

...Mega Everdrive cart with all the roms on it?

Taking the easy way out!

Not my OP, but I think no flash carts, or multi carts makes the question more interesting.

what else?

Hah dunpeal that's what I was thinking, it's why I asked about the 6pak then put my stand alone choice of Dune since it has lots of replay value and variances in it.

Maybe distorting the question a little but I would pick Aerobiz or Starflight because I own both but haven't really played them much. I also imagine they have decent replay value. Aerobiz is the only one of the two I've played so far but I liked it quite a bit being a simulation fan.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the masterpiece of the Genesis. If I could only play one game (not counting multi-carts obviously) it would be Sonic 2.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles

Like a couple of you have already, I would also say Sonic 3 and Knuckles. However, I kinda feel like that's cheating because its 2 carts.

So that's my pick, but if it must be cut down to one cart for the sake of argument, I'd make it Sonic 3.
