Genki has to confess to not knowing the Mega Drive as well as the Super 
Famicom, but through the delight of discovery after having missed out first time round, we have discovered there are still some very tasty titles to enjoy...
There are of 
course the shooters with the ThunderForce series coming to prominence, Crying 
has plenty of devotees, Daisenpu a good bargain, Gynoug never stays in stock for 
long, HellFire is a very slick schmup...
Some nice platformers too 
considering the Super Famicom's supposed dominance in the genre: DJ Boy with its 
distinct 16Bit flavour, retro tinged Alex Kidd, Awesome Possum brings the fun 
back to gaming, El Viento is a belter but a bit bigger budget, Ghouls and Ghosts 
is a fine conversion as is Outrun and ditto Strider...
Gunstar Heroes shows why 
Treasure is held in such high esteem, Mickey Mouse has plenty of crisp and 
cuddly platform escapades on the format, Slime World is a bargain and held in 
very high esteem on the Lynx, Warnder no Mori Special is little known, but 
worthy of greater acknowledgement...
Battletoads show's Rare's eye for a 
trick or two, Bad Dudes is another fine scrap fest, Devil Crash is a fine 
pinball sim, GhostBusters brings back the nostalgia in a nice cheesy way, Kageki 
is an unusual fight fest, Kujaku Ou is an little known gem, Mamono Hunter Yoko 
is another hidden city of Atlantis, Rent a Hero is great fun but may need a bit 
of help from a FAQ, SD Valis is a worthy holder of the Valis mantle and the 
series crescendo...
So again: not narrowed down much, but older systems did far more than just FPS, so there is plenty to get involved with. Happy MD gaming from the Ogenki Clinic (best not put a link to that name...!)
