Man I miss some of those games.

Just curious, would it be best to get an old Genesis or a Wii to play them? Either way I'd have to buy the games again since I sold all mine to get a Saturn :confused:.

Oh, I had read something about when you buy stuff on Wii it stays with the console, not the user. That'd suck.
 
I haven't seen anybody mention Landstalker yet...Did anybody mention Lunar the Silver Star?

While it was way too easy (I beat it...that's how I define easy), Wonderdog had the coolest soundtrack ever in a video game.

I second the Disney games Castle of Illusion and Quackshot...beautiful artwork, and not bad play.

As well as Ecco the Dolphin. Great games in their times, and still worth playing!

Just use an emulator. I don't think spending $5-10 per game is a really good investment. It's going to be the same cost either route you go. But you have a good chance of cartridges having issues if they're not mint, and the same thing with the consoles. I have two of them personally, and we still use them, but they're going to die soon enough considering we used to have my original on for like 40 hours straight sometimes. I have some of the Wii versions, and they're pretty much just straight ROM rips, with some work to make the Sonic & Knuckles lock-on work. You can even do all the debug codes/etc. The Wii remote is awful for playing though, and I know there's the classic gamepad you can get, but still.

But yeah, there are some great emulators that are a good alternative. And really you just need to get a nice gamepad and just map it for the keyboard controls.

There's a third choice. Sega recently released a ton of old Genesis games on Steam a little while ago. You can buy them for $2-3 a pop, or get the whole bundle of 45 games for $30.

It's a best of both worlds solution. They get the reliability of running the games on their PC through an emulator, and can avoid the crisis of conscience they'd get by pirating a bunch of old games off some random website.

That's cool. Sucks that it's only for Windows.

Either way, I just had them delete my Steam account. I kept getting emails someone was trying to log into mine and they weren't much help so I asked them to do away with it.
 
I was introduced to Ecco the Dolphin just a few months back, and I can safely say this beats the crap out of any Genesis game I've played before. :D That era of games consoles was just a bit before my time so I've just been discovering what they have to offer in recent years, and I've certainly found quite a few gems. :)
