Sega Mega CD Must Have Games

TL · 2012-03-16T17:38:13Z

I think it's fair to say that there are a lot of really crappy games for the Mega CD add-on but here are my 10 favourite ones, please add your own! Silpheed - A simply wonderful shoot 'em up that uses a mix of 3D polygons, FMV and 2D sprites to portray the action. Many compared it to Starfox at the time but thats totally unfair as much better and more of a traditional shooter. Final Fight CD - The best retro conversion of the Capcom arcade game out there. Not only is it almost arcade perfect but you have CD sound and a brand new battle mode to play too. Pisses all over the crappy SNES version. Jaguar XJ220 - Brought to us by Core Design and based on the best selling Lotus games this is a great one orÂ two player driving game (in split screen) with a full career mode and some fantastic graphics and sound. Sensible Soccer - Ok its just an upgraded version of the cart release but as well as some pointless FMV it allows you to edit much more of the data (as long as you have memory) and the best "hitting the post" sound you will ever hear. Sonic CD - I am not generally a fan of platformers but there is no doubting that this is a great game with a superb soundtrack too. I think this is definately the most over looked game in the blue hedgehog's library. Robo Aleste - The Aleste series has long been a favourite among shoot 'em up fans and this is another great example why. Vertically scrolling action of the highest order that uses some great scaling and rotation effects. Batman Returns - Forget about the tedious and lacklustre platform stages from the cart release, this is all about the awesome driving stages. One of the few games out there that really shows the power of the system. Soul Star - Core Design's output for the Mega CD is nothing short of superb and they really were the only publisher to prove consistantly what the add-on can do. Soul Star is a brilliant 3D style shooter that everyone should own. Amazing Spiderman Vs. The Kingpin - A massive arcade adventure / beat 'em up that is one of the most overlooked games in the systems library. Really captures the style and look of the comic books perfectly. Thunderhawk - Another title from Core Design and the one first one they released that really pushed the system. A brilliant 3D style helicopter combat game with non-stop action that shits all over SNES mode 7 graphics.

hmmm... that looks so linear though?? looks good but there really isn't much to it or does it change at all later on?

It gets better as it goes on, a classic old school beat 'em up.
