I just ordered a Sega Genesis Firecore. It comes preloaded with 20 games. You can also play Genesis and Master System games. I also ordered a boxed Sonic 2.

What other games should I get? This is the first time I will ever buy something outside the Nintendo Universe so I ignorant in some areas of the other consoles.

If you could tell me it would be great. Thanks.

What I find odd is that it is going to be released on the Genesis/Mega Drive. I'm not surprised that a new game is coming out for a past system. You always see Dreamcast games and Atari 2600 and Lynx games. What puzzles me is that it is going to be released on the Genesis instead of the Super NES. The NES has better controls for RPG games. Also, this is going to be the first new genesis game since the 90's. You would think it would be a fighter game or a arcade port, not a RPG.

Any who, I am playing the downloadable demo for it right now. I would really like to buy this to go along with my new Firecore system. Still haven't got it in the mail yet, nor have I got Sonic 2

I think they mention thier reasons for using the megadrive in the forums. Its a mix between the megadrive being thier fav console, being able to have cd quality music, the console itself having a rather poor selection of rpg's compared to the snes and also its much easier to program for the megadrive than the snes apparently.

i think the snes was made with the intention of it being hard to make unliscenced games etc.

I think they just sold out all copies too but im sure it'll pop up on ebay...for ridiculous amounts of cash.

Woo, I got the Firecore in on Saturday. Been busy lately so I haven't been on here for a while. It's pretty good. I do not like the pre-loaded 20 games on it though so it looks like I need to get on ebay and go to some used game stores.

I'm uploading an unboxing video tonight. I'll make sure to post it in the morning!

You mention that all the games built in are rubbish, how so? there are so many good games on it...

Sonic & Knuckles - This is pretty obvious

Gain Ground - Great little game for the time

Shinobi III: Return of The Ninja - One of the best games on the genesis!

Golden AXE - One of the greatest scrolling beat em ups ever


Altered Beast - A near perfect arcade convesion and a classic

Decap Attack - Really great looking and fun platformer

ESWAT - A badass little action game for the time

Alien Storm - Almost as good as Golden axe in my opinion

Columns III - Great puzzle game and quite challenging

DR. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine - By far one of my favourite puzzle games next to puzzlebobble/bust a move

Ecco - Beautiful looking game that is such a beast to complete its unbelievable!

Obviously i dont know how well they play on the console seeing as they are emulated but there are definetly some GREAT games on that.

Well maybe the games are not that bad but I'm just disappointed in the selection. I think they could have picked way better games. I mean why isn't there any Sonic the Hedgehog games? Or Mortal Combat? I was just hoping for better; you know what I mean?

Also, I sometimes over exaggerate to get peoples attention. I don't like the games but me ranting with the whole cow thing was just for entertainment purposes only.

Also, I love Shinobi III. It's one of the games I'm not disappointed in.

Hahaha, cool.

Yeah a lot of them are the same as on the mega collections. Does seem strange they would only put on sonic and knuckles and sonic spinball. Half of the greatness of S&K is the snap on feature!

Its still a nice starting point for younger gamers that may have missed it though. How are the controllers...and did you get sonic 2 out?

Yes I played Sonic 2 and I love it. The controls are a little different though; they don't feel right but I think I'll get use to it (I thought that the Game Cube controller was awful when I first played it and now it is my personal favorite controller).

The one thing that I do not like is that there is no saving. You have to beat a level then get the code. I never liked those games.

I'm hoping to build the collection for it. I'm moving out of my little town and going to the city for college. I'll try to find some old used electronic shops and see if I can get any good games.

Also,

Could someone please help me: I remember playing this game on the Mega Drive when I was younger. It was basically Sega's a rip off of Excite Bike. That's really all I can remember. If I could see it I would remember. If anyone knows what game I'm talking about or a list of games like it could you please tell me? Thanks.

i've read that the compatibility is horrid and the emulation is very shotty on most games including the built in games IE: off colors and music.

Well I only have one game for it so I'm not sure on the compatibility but the emulations are pretty good I personally think. Though I have never played the original games for them either. I don't see anything wrong; no delay or anything like that. There might be small details that might be wrong but you would have to have played the game first to know these flaws.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QAue7Pq1So < here is a vid doing a comparison of two versions of sonic 1. the first is the firecore running a genesis cartridge and the 2nd is the sega saturn playing sonic jam. the saturn sounds the more like the actual genesis version.

Yeah but that was an actually Sega product. I mean Atgames is just trying to make a new Sega because they are out of the hardware business. They have no help from Sega and they have to do it all on their own. That is hard to do. I've designed video games all by myself and I can't even imagine how hard it is to copy games like that. Trying to crack the codes and what not that make it play. I have to give respect to Atgames for that; they got some balls.
