Sega Mega Drive in the 90s was perhaps the most popular console in the entire post-Soviet space. Millions of boys, and sometimes girls, spent hours on end watching the picture tubes of their parents' televisions. We bring to your attention the 15 most popular games for this console, which you can still play with pleasure today. And, of course, we are waiting for your favorite games in the comments.
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
We won't be lying if we say that this is the best fighting game on Sega. 23 original characters, each with their own set of moves, combinations and fatality. But if this is not enough, add here also brutality, babality, animality and cheerful friendship. We literally remembered all these combinations for each hero by heart.
Comix Zone
Talented comic book artist Sketch Turter, who in a fantastic way found himself inside his own drawn story. Now, in order to get out, he will have to fight with the mutants and villains he invented. This game had it all: puzzles, fights, treacherous bosses, vigorous battles and a great story. But the coolest thing is that the plot in the game was nonlinear: different exits from locations gave different developments and endings.
Earthworm Jim 2
A worthy continuation of the adventures of a cosmic earthworm named Jim. This time he had to save the lady of his heart, who was kidnapped by the evil and insidious villain Psycho-Crow.
Battletoads and Double Dragon
One of the coolest action films on Sega - not just on a planetary, but on a cosmic scale. The plot centers on fighting toads and their dragon brothers. This game was simply great to play with a friend. Oh, how many hours were spent traveling through these levels and fighting bosses.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Hyperstone Heist
That very moment when in the morning you could watch a couple of episodes of a cartoon about turtles on TV, and then immediately launch the game and control them yourself. Crowds of enemies, cool, powerful bosses, and only four green turtle brothers. It was a cool toy with good graphics for those times. And you could also play it with a friend.
Contra - Hard Corps
The good old contra, which won the love of all the boys back in dandy days, only re-released in 16 bits. The game has four heroes to choose from and four development scenarios. Of course, you can also play together.
Disney's Aladdin
A very popular toy based on the Disney hit. The plot, of course, is still the same: the insidious villain Jafar wants to take possession of the magic lamp, and the street tramp Aladdin is trying in every possible way to prevent him from doing this. You have to fight enemies with the help of a sword and apples, which you can throw at enemies.
Rock n' Roll Racing
A game that is probably familiar to anyone who has ever played Sega. Squealing rubber, shooting, explosions, upgrades, in general, a great race for survival. According to the results of many polls, this game has repeatedly taken leading positions in the lists of the best 8-16 bit games.
Sonic The Hedgehog 3
The third part of the adventures of the most famous hedgehog in the world. Excellent graphics, an interesting new plot: the evil Robotnik has chained all the forest animals into robots and they need to be freed.
Dune - The Battle for Arrakis
Dune, although not the first game in the real-time strategy genre, no doubt gave a huge impetus to their development in the future. So, without a twinge of conscience, it can be called the progenitor of modern real-time strategies. The plot is familiar to all Sega fans: for the planet on which valuable raw materials have been discovered, there is a real struggle between three imperial courts - the Atreides, the Ordos and the Harkonens. The player chooses a house and begins colonizing the planet, fighting competitors and sandworms.
WWF Wrestlemania Arcade
In those rare moments when we were already bored to hell with Mortal Kombat, we usually turned on this particular game. There are also fights here, but without mystical warriors and severed skulls. There are a huge variety of strikes and techniques; you could throw your opponent from one corner of the ring to another. One of the best fights on Sega.
Road Rush 3
The third part turned out to be the best of the entire series. We improved the graphics, controls, and everything in general. Now, from the heights of past years, the toy looks funny. And then you really raced as if on real motorcycles.
The Lion King
Perhaps the best cartoon adventure game on Sega. Another wonderful example of how, after watching a cartoon, you could sit down at the console and manage the adventures of a beautiful lion cub yourself.
Jurassic Park 2 - The Lost World
Released in 1997, Jurassic Park 2 - The Lost World was one of the last games released for the Sega Mega Drive. A good top-down action movie. Having landed on the island, the player will have to fight with predatory dinosaurs and poachers.
Desert Strike - Return to the Gulf
On a helicopter that has a limited supply of weapons, the player will have to perform a variety of missions, each of which consists of several tasks. You will need to rescue hostages, destroy buildings and blow up enemy equipment.
P.S.
But in this post, we have carefully collected for you several different emulators, including Sega, which will instantly take you back to childhood.
