sega genesis – Drink a Beer and Play a Game https://www.drinkabeerandplayagame.com Fri, 09 Apr 2021 13:14:08 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.2 129877729 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!

Brians List
Jims List

Patreon Submissions

G’s List

Brian: Man G has no love for Altered Beast or Eternal Champions? Otherwise I like the list.
Jim: G and I are on pretty much the same page, though there is a massive amount of disrespect shown to Eternal Champions.  

Astral’s List

Brian: I like this, it feels like an honest list, I def disagree with the spots for sonic 3 and ecco, but its unique for sure.
Jim: I harp on how much I love Tetris a lot but the Great tier is pretty high for the genesis arcade port…ish…version.  He really needs to get around to Super Fantasy Zone, can’t go wrong there

Alex P’s List

Brian: Not a huge Sonic fan I see, and I love the placement of shining force, fairly overrated game.
Jim: Oh man, throwing Golden Axe and Shining Force in not good is a brave stance. You really need to get to Alisia Dragoon, its excellent.

Todd’s List

Brian: Castlevania needs to move up, otherwise this is one of the more balanced lists.
Jim: Pretty fair list overall, some redemption here for his disgraceful Streets of Rage rankings.  No real complaints here, I can see the arguments even if Sonic Spinball deserves better.

Brian: Overall I will go with G’s list, it had all the Godlike games I cared the most for. Great job everyone!
Jim: Overall I think Ill go with G’s list as the best but noone made me cry, which is a plus
