Part 1 - Action Games
Here begins the ultimate showdown between the SNES and the Genesis. This part will focus on action games [fighting games, beat 'em ups, and 2D shooters will be analyized later]. As multiplatform titles are basically a wash for both sides, only exclusive titles will be considered.
Sega Genesis
Alisia Dragoon, Splatterhouse 3, James Bond 007 – The Duel, Shinobi series, X-Men, Contra: Hard Corps, General Chaos, Mercs, Target Earth, Landstalker, Castlevania: Bloodlines, Alien Soldier, Gunstar Heroes, Mega Turrican, Vectorman, Toejam and Earl, Red Zone, Rolling Thunder 2 and 3, Strider 1 and 2, Pirates! Gold, and Altered Beast.
SNES
Super Metroid, Super Ghouls and Ghosts, King of Demons, Alcahest, Front Mission: Gun Hazard, Pocky and Rocky, Super Star Wars, Super Castlevania IV, Demon’s Crest, Mega Man series, The Fireman, R2: Rendering Ranger, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Turrican, Neugier, Taloon’s Great Adventure, Gunman’s Proof, Metal Warriors, EVO – The Search for Eden, Legend of the Mystical Ninja, Equinox, Contra III, Robocop 3, Magic Sword, Wild Guns, and Cybernator.
Both systems bring quality and quantity in the action genre, and I threw in some action/adventure games as well. Some classics on both sides, but how many? Over the course of the next week, or longer if I feel like it, I will pick the most promising titles from each console’s genre offering. At the end of that time period, I’ll make a decision on which console has the best games.
