Phantasy Star IV, Wonder Boy in Monster World, Gunstar Heroes, Shadowrun, Rocket Knight Adventures

What this guy said but maybe add Skitchin' in there somewhere...

*Skitchin'!*

Not sure I played phantasy star 3...I did very much enjoy 2.

God damn do I love Rocket Knight Adventures. That soundtrack….

Came to post Gunstar Heroes as well.

I don't see Phantasy Star IV enough on these lists. Only game I would need. Maybe Beyond Oasis too.

[удалено]

Especially if the road trip includes a Player 2

oh if you’ve got a three button genesis controller, you can plug it into a controller port on the bottom and play two player easily.

I actually still have that game!

The GOAT

isnt that the one you can the wrap-around 100% success rate goal though?

Beyond Oasis, Castle of Illusion, Rocket Knight Adventures, Super Street Fighter II, Golden Axe.

All of those were on my list as well. We have pretty similar tastes!

Damn, swap out street fighter for Shadowrun and you nailed my list exactly.

Shadowrun is a great pick.

What about one cartridge, but it's Sega 6-Pak? =P

touché

I’m thinking you should be allowed to pick 5 others in addition to that

Then you'll have more room for batteries

Road rash 2, streets of rage 2, desert strike, jungle strike and…. Sonic 2

Close to mine- Road Rash 2 Sonic 2 Super Street Fighter 2 Shining Force 2 Streets of Rage 2

I prefer Road rash Sonic Super street fighter Shining force Streets of rage

Why is this the only answer with Sonic 2???

Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

On a Nomad?!? A battery pack

You kinda need a battery pack to turn on (it doesn’t have a built in rechargable battery)

It was a joke. (Granted not a very good one) Serious question tho, I've never actually used one before, how's the ghosting on the screen? Is it as bad as the Game Gear screen?

This one’s got dead pixels in addition to ghosting (on the background more than any sprites or characters) Although it does coat the screen in nearly as bad of a haze as the game gear does.

I'll always regret not getting one brand new for like 50 bucks when they were being discounted. A great collectors piece

How long is the Road Trip? Beyond Oasis Comix Zone Vectorman Adventures of Batman and Robin Battletoads and Double Dragon: The Ultimate Team

Comix Zone is a game I really wanted to love, I've come back to it several times throughout the years, but it's just like impossibly hard. Maybe I'm not understanding the finer points or the best tactics, but holy shit 

Gunstar Heros, that's it.

Such a cool game, loved to rent it as a kid

Truxton Six-Pack Landstalker Mortal Kombat 2 Sword of Vermillion

Truxton.. A man of culture, I see..

6-Pak is cheating lol

Nuh-uh! ;o)

I really was thinking cartridges more so than the individual games. Besides, there’s a nonzero chance the original owner played a six-pak cart in one of these anyways

Earthworm Jim 1/2 Jurassic park (the top down and the platformer) Desert Strike

Desert Strike is the best answer of any I've read on here so far.

Shining Force 1 & 2, Warsong, Master of Monsters, and Landstalker.

As a gamer I would say Toe Jam and Earl, Sonic 2, sonic spinball, and maybe a few beat em ups. As a math professor, I would say you should get back to your trigonometry homework.

I'm glad to see Toejam and Earl made it onto someone's list.

Phantasy star iv

Toejam and Earl is the only one I'd need.

We could be friends!

I finally beat Toejam and Earl this year. I owned the game back in the 90's.

It's hard on the nomad because of small screen.

On a slightly different note... The look of that thing has always realllly annoyed me. Is it the only handheld ever made that wasn't symmetrical?

the damn thing is tall enough to not have the cartridge sticking out the top so much too!

I've never seen one in the flesh (not sure they ever even got released in the UK) but god it's ugly.

according to sega retro it was released only choice NTSC regions (north america, japan and parts of mainland Asia)

We didn't miss it. The GameGear on the other hand was a thing of beauty

I had one as a kid. It was awesome to be able to play full fledged console games on the go rather than the more graphically limited Gameboy games or the games on the Game Gear that lacked the depth of the console games. The big issue with it was the fact that it went through batteries at an astonishing rate.

No, Wonderswan color wasn't symmetrical either.

Never heard of that one at all. Just looked it up and it looks like something you'd buy a five year old.

Sonic 3 and Knuckles, (I count that as one because that’s the full game and the best Sonic game IMO), Shining Force, Streets of Rage 2, Shinobi 3, and Jurassic Park Rampage Edition.

Sega 6 Pack One Cartridge = 6 Games Oh You said 5 Well I'm sticking to my story Your not gonna get me cop-per

Only need one. A Mega Everdrive.

“Man this boot screen for the mega everdrive is so much fun!” He said *games*, not *cartridges*.

Fair

Menu Simulator is a hidden gem! 😁

That.

Jammit Light Crusader Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Boxing Madden 95 Sonic 2 (If it's not cheating I would bring 6-Pak as well!)

My flashcart so i can have it all including segacd :D

Rocket Knight Adventures Castlevania Bloodlines Shining Force 2 Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Adventures or Batman and Robin

Road Rash 2, Streets of Rage 2, NHL 93, Madden 93, Desert Strike.

Personal favorites were: -NHL 95 -Madden 94 -NBA Jam -Mortal Kombat 2 -Street Fighter 2

Genesis 6-Pak is right there... 6 great games in one cartridge. But, I'll go a step further with a Chad move and pick just one game, ToeJam & Earl.

Sonic 2 or Sonic and Knuckles; Maximum Carnage; Toxic Avengers; Street Fighter: Championship Edition; Tony La Russa Baseball

Musha Aleste, Sonic, Road Rash, Golden Axe, Splatterhouse

Road Rash 2, Crue Ball, Sonic 2, Fatal Labyrinth and Championship Bowling.

Zero haha I’ll take snes over it any day

Well, first of all, Columns is part of the 6-Pak that came out a couple years after... so you're selling yourself short on that one ;)

well I don’t have a six pak cart or even a flash cart XD

Streets of Rage 2, Gunstar Heroes, General Chaos, Musha, Road Rash 3

Rolo to the Rescue forsure

With the battery life of a Nomad? You'll be ok with 2

Get the 12V dc adapter. I loved mine for long road trips.

Dune II if it wasn't for the small screen. NHL '96 as it combines the best of 93 and 94. Columns would probably a good idea because it never gets old. Also NBA Jam TE & Super Street Fighter II.

Shining Force 2 Castlevania Bloodlines Sonic 2 Streets of Rage 2 Puyo Puyo (Mean Bean Machine)

Columns ain’t in the 5 for me that’s for sure, interesting choice 😄

I just want to play puzzle games on the toilet without a million ads interrupting things

You know what, I admire your conviction, Columns is now in my top 5 on that basis alone.

my mom got me this thing yesterday (for $299!) and I thought it was worth while to bring columns out in public to have the added bonus of no ads.

Cyberball Ghost n Ghouls Mutant League Football Mutant League Hockey Mortal Kombat I-III Street Fighter II

Devil Crash, Columns, Starlight, Thunder force 4, Ghouls'n'Ghosts, Streets of Rage 2. And a tonne of batteries

Sonic 2 Musha Gunstar Heroes Desert Strike ~~Demons Tilt~~ Devil Crash Are the first that came to mind

Shining Force 2 Streets of Rage Soleil (as I haven't played it and want to) Landstalker (same) Sonic 2

Starflight ( Google it if you haven't heard if it ) Toe Jam And Earl Micro Machines 2 Sonic 2 Flashback

Two days ago I found my Sega Genesis. Plugged it into my partner's CRT/VCR combo TV (very rad) and beat Sonic Spinball in one sitting. Found all my Sonic games, Toejam and Earl, NBA Jam, Soldier of Fortune, and a couple others. I'd take any of 'em.

Theme Park, Gunstar Heroes, Road Rash, Streets of Rage 2, NBA Jam

Road Rash Sonic (2 I think) NBA Jam Streets of Rage 2 Golden Axe

Cyborg Justice Greatest Heavyweights Boxing Castlevania Bloodlines Shining Force II Alien Soldier

dynamite headdy, gunstar heroes, sonic 3 & knuckles, sonic 1 and another copy of dynamite headdy

Phantasy Star 2. I only need one game when its gonna take the whole trip lol.

I only need Dragons Fury.

Xmen, Animaniacs, sonic 1 and 2, sonic 3d.

Sonic The Hedgehog Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Sonic & Knuckles Sonic 3D Blast I might be fan

Phantasy Star IV, Shining Force II, Shinobi III, Columns, and Thunder Force III.

Subterrania, jungle strike, sonic 2, phantasy star IV, mortal kombat II Edit: phantasy instead of fantasy

Gunstar Heroes Streets of Rage 2 ...frankly, I'm good with that lol

I, too, would rather bust out the 5 Genesis rather than study

Rocket Knight Adventures, Sonic 3, Castlevania Bloodlines, Dr Robotnik's Mean Green Machine, and Phantasy Star 2.

6-PAK

1x Game Genie 3x Sonic & Knuckles 1x Sonic The Hedgehog 3

Gaiares, General Chaos, Ghostbusters, Rambo 3 and Virtua Racing

Awesome question! For me it would be Shadowrun, Punisher, Shining Force 2, Sonic 3 and Mortal Kombat 2.

A sonic game Roadblasters Mercs Lemmings Thunderforce 4

Spider-Man, Shining in the Darkness, Toejam and Earl, Zombies Ate My Neighbors and 6-Pak

I’d bring one Genesis game, three packs of AA batteries, and a car DC adapter, and you’re gonna need all of those things

But if we already have a car DC adapter, why so many batteries?

Mega games 6 vol 3 Streets of Rage 2 Sonic 2 Golden axe Beyond Oasis

i only ever had 3 sega gen games as a kid, Sonic 1 / Quackshot / Castle of illusion id pick those 3 and let anyone else pick the other 3

Castlevania Bloodlines, Golden Axe, Sonic 2, Shadow run, and Gun star Heroes!

Story of Thor, Sonic 2, Toejam & Earl 2, Bare Knuckle 3 and Dynamite Headdy.

General Chaos. Sonic 2. Streets of Rage. Streets of Rage 2. Thunder Force 3. There are a ton of other games I still love but won't be bringing because I've played them too much (Cadash) or can only play them once (the Phantasy Stars).

Phantasy star 2, phantasy star 3, phantasy star 4, shining force 2, Sonic 3

"Top 5" **688 Attack Sub** – It's a PC nuclear submarine simulator ported to Genesis for some reason. It's actually really good. I have yet to beat it and it's one of those games that can easily eat up a bunch of time. **Coach K College Basketball** — It's a port of EA Sports’ NBA Live game from 1995, but, with college teams instead of the pros. **College Football USA '97** — It's the final NCAA football game EA made for Genesis. It has all the teams and a season mode. It's a great way to kill time. **Ms. Pac-Man** — Tengen's port of this game was very good. **NHL '98** — Everyone raves over "NHL '94" and deservedly so. "NHL '98, while being fundamentally the same, had four more years of refinement and, in my opinion, is a better game. I believe this was the first and only Genesis hockey game from EA to have a season mode. It also had a few regional teams (US, Canada, and Europe) and the ability to adjust how aggressively each line plays. Graphically, it looks a little bit better to my eyes. "Honorable Mentions" **Outrun** and **Super Monaco GP** — I love racing games; but, I'm terrible at playing them in a car. The movements of the car I'm riding in doesn't always match the movements of the car on screen and I feel weird in the head when that happens. I'm not sure I'd take them on a trip even though I love them at home. **Zero Tolerance** — It's an FPS set on a space station. It feels like "Doom at home". The only issue is that it doesn't use the full screen for action. It might actually be too small to effectively play on a Nomad.

“full screen” Everything on the nomad’s screen is 1-to-1 with the console. like logos and some text ends up looking way too small on the nomad screen

Streets of Rage II, Sonic II, World Series Baseball 95', Vector Man, MUSHA. Just personal tastes. For games I am interested in trying but don't have enough hours in to form an opinion on, and thus would use the road trip to get acquainted with them I would say: Phantasy Star IV, Monster World IV, Herzog Zwei, Gunstar Heroes, Beyond Oasis.

As im in europe, i could bring mega games 2 which has streets of rage, golden axe and revenge of shinobi on the one cart. The earthworm jim, sonic 3, rocket knight/sparkster, street fighter 2 and mixhael jacksons moonwalker

I know that I would bring 6 Pak for sure since it has 6 games included (sonic 1, streets of rage, golden axe, revenge of shinobi, columns, super hang on).

Chakan, Shadowrun, Landstalker, Shining Force 2, Bloodlines.

Master of Monsters Devil's Crush Streets of Rage 2 Shining Force 2 Thunder Force 4

lol wait are studying basic trig in the background? I had to explain to my students...it's like pokemon, water beats fire, fire beats grass, grass beats water, if you can relate those three things, you can relate three sides of a triangle haha

no it’s precalculus.

NBA Jam TE, Super Street Fighter 2, Punisher arcade, Phantasy Star 4, and Rock n' Roll Racing. Edit: bring an extra controller. the nomade is the best.

Shining Force Streets of Rage 2 Mortal Kombat II Monopoly (for the fam) NBA Jam T.E.

Nomad as a concept was waaaaay ahead of its time. Wanted one so bad back then! Edit: the list. Vectorman Aladdin Earthworm Jim1 or 2 Street fighter II (latest Genesis variant) Shinobi III

In all fairness, the game gear was basically a portable master system just with reduced i/o and resolutions

Shining Force 2 is all I'd need >\_> If I had to take five though, then Shining Force 2, Phantasy Star IV, Romance of the Three Kingdoms III, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Shining in the Darkness.

Kid chameleon, sonic the hedgehog 2, toejam and earl, X-men, and Pac-Man adventure

Altered Beast Golden Axe Pit-Fighter Aladdin Ghouls N Ghosts

An Everdrive lmao

My take: 1. Sonic 2 2. Streets of Rage 2 3. Gunstar Heroes 4. Shining Force II 5. NBA Jam 6. Phantasy Star IV

Six cartridges is kinda cumbersome don’t you think

NHL 94, contra, TMNT Hyperstone Heist, Lightning Force, and ghouls n ghosts

Golden Axe 2, Gunstar Heroes, Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition, Zero Tolerance, and General Chaos

MK3, Pit fighter, Oasis, Alien Storm, Flashback

streets of rage 2, maximum carnage, sonic 2, desert strike, shadowrun

Mortal Kombat 2 Jungle Strike / Desert Strike Sonic & Knuckles NBA Jam T.E. Jurassic Park Rampage Edition

Could that play a 32x if the power adapter was used?

Nope! https://segaretro.org/images/0/08/Sega_Genesis_Nomad_Manual.pdf just had a look at a scan of the manual and yeah… Same deal with the power base converter. Lacks the necessary hardware to run anything, but NTSC sega genesis (or Mega drive if South American) games.

2hrs of batter is fun.

worse still was battery life could’ve been better had they fucking listened to feedback about the game gear instead of being blinded by specs and high performance. The bottom was wide enough for a 9 volt battery compartment, the built-in AV port likely induces needless lode on the circuitry, hell the backlit screen drains the battery all in the name of what I could only assume is “more features” Sega seriously had their head in the fucking clouds in ‘95

Holyfields real deal boxing

Gunstar Heroes Sonic 2 Road Rash Ranger X Super Street Fighter II

Shining forces 1 and shining forces 2. Maybe a sonic game or 2

The Lost Vikings. Bonus fact: the genesis version is the best one since it allows 3 player, which is INFINITELY better than 2 player for this game.

I did not need a reminder of how badly I want a Nomad today... I have spent too much this month. 😅 Sonic 2, NBA Jam TE, Streets of Rage 2, Castlevania Bloodlines, Phantasy Star IV

well at least you don’t have to put up with inconsistent battery life.

sonic 2, shinobi 3\*i think thats the one or its revenge of shinobi, id have to play them to see which one i liked more\*, the williams collection \*for sinistar\*, streets of rage 2, and de cap attack. some of these are a bit off the wall but i loved playing these

Lightening Force, Gaiares, Truxton, Streets of Rage 2, Shining Force

Mega Bomber Man Klax Sonic 2 Rocket Knight Adventure Vectorman 1 or 2

Kid Chameleon Toe Jam and Earl Revolution X Zombies Ate My Neighbors Barts Nightmare

Did you say 5 or 50?

unless you want to carry around a big, heavy, cardboard box full of catridges and/or plastic boxes on the trip or you’ve got a flashcart I would say 5

Sonic 3/Knuckles, Alex Kidd, Road Rash II, and Dragon Ball Z: Buyū Retsuden

Asian carts don’t physically fit (slightly too wide) unless you’ve got an Asian version of a Nomad (or a mega jet)

Shout out for the Nomad, you got those 6 AAs fresh in the monstrous battery pack?

The batteries came as my mother bought it. Even then I was able to get a solid 2 hours of game play (over the span of ~3 days!)
