]]> 3094 Best Sega Genesis Video Game Bracket https://www.drinkabeerandplayagame.com/best-sega-genesis-video-game-bracket/ https://www.drinkabeerandplayagame.com/best-sega-genesis-video-game-bracket/#comments Thu, 01 Apr 2021 06:00:00 +0000 https://www.drinkabeerandplayagame.com/?p=2653 Welcome to the Best Sega Genesis Video Game Bracket. Getting this bracket to 32 entries was extremely difficult. I tried to take all personal preference out of this bracket and tried to make an amalgamation of multiple sites, sources, lists to create the “proper” seeding. I know it is not perfect but I think it captures a wide variety of games from the Genesis. My only rule when creating this list was that I limited entries to 1 title per franchise. So as much as it pained me to not have Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles I made cuts where I needed to. So please vote away and check out the timeline for voting below. Comment your thoughts below and enjoy!
