If you want a good RPG for genesis, I would have to say the phantasy star series, there way cuu.

SNES also has the zelda games wich are cuu...
and if the genesis dosnt work, it could be the ac adaptor because that was the problem on mine....

Yeah definately got to get the Zelda game for the SNES (only one). It's called The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Good game, got it for Gameboy. Get some of the Mario games, or just get Mario All-Stars.

And calling Dreamcast old school, dang it's got the same graphics as many of the systems out now, and you call it old school!? I liked Dreamcast, it just faded too quick (controller was the best). Definately get some of the Sega Sport games for it if you like them. I like their football one (can't remember the name).

Yeah, calling those "old school" makes me feel old and I'm not old... I would consider "Old School" to be:

Atari
Coleco Vision
Sega Master System
NES


Zelda on the original NES, dang that was a good game.

Dreamcast is from like 3 years ago.

SNES was the last game system I played.. and hardly.

Don't forget Intellivision!

Hell, don't forget Summer Olympics on Commodore 64! I was the champ of freestyle diving.

As for games...too many to tell! But I do prefer RPGs. One of the last RPGs that I played and enjoyed was, Skies of Arcadia for the Dreamcast. Older RPGs I loved was Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy 1 for the NES, Phantasy Star 1, Lunar...oh, so much goodness. I'm currently playing Metroid Prime and Zelda: Wind Waker. If only I had enough time to play all my games...hehe!! ENJOY AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

I still have the Sega Master and Genesis. I find that the SMS games harder to beat than any other system. I came close to beating Rambo and Time "something."

I've always been loyal to Nintendo, they've always had systems I've liked and they've always had games I've liked (and don't say that crap that all they make is kiddy stuff). Also, I really like the Zelda series so that adds to it. Did you know they have 3 Zelda games for the 3DO?

[Vex]

How about Atari Lynx and Jaguar systems, or TurboGrafx 16--remember those? Bonk's Adventure for TurboGrafx was the poop!

I've still got my Sega Master System with After Burner, Shinobi, California Games, and some others, as well as the first generation Genesis--the one where you can plug in headphones and control the volume right on the console! I've got Altered Beast and Strider...that's all I remember for that one.

No I didn't!! Hrm...gotta log onto ebay and see if I can find them. The only games I bought for the 3DO was Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. Back then, I was so hooked on those games...hehe!

Scratch the 3DO Zelda games, I put down the wrong system by accident. The three games were for the Phillips CD-i. The games were called the Wind of Gamelon, Faces of Evil, and Zelda's Adventure. Sorry for accidentally putting the wrong system down (sorry bout getting your hopes up if I did ).
