Phantasy Star 's futuristic setting always made it feel a little different in a more basic generation of RPGs. While this game didn't feel like the next big step the franchise needed in an era where JRPGs were making massive leaps, Phantasy Star IV is a solid followup in the franchise that capitalizes on some unforgettable moments. While we enjoy Phantasy Star IV , the second game in the entry is the definitive game in the franchise.
As the game that put the franchise on the map, players take control of a government agent tasked with figuring out why the planet's protector has started malfunctioning. Released in , this is a very basic RPG, and you can even get it for free on your mobile device, but this game was essential in ensuring the success of the Genesis. To start, it was the largest game of its time which proved that this console is different from Nintendo.
That helped build a big — for its time — world that was ripe for exploration as players explore the sci-fi story presented to them. It's also one of the first RPGs to kill of a major character, so it's pretty groundbreaking. If you don't like Comix Zone , you don't like video games. Look, we don't make the rules here. As a side-scrolling beat-em-up that sees a comic book artist trapped in the pages of his own book, players must punch and kick their way through each panel, smashing enemies across the pages.
The bit graphics compliment the game immensely too, as the subtle mix of realism and comic book aesthetic the game is going for, making Comix Zone one of the most visually appealing games of its era. To be fair, this game is a little on the more difficult side for players who aren't used to it, and some of the things that cause you to lose even the slightest bit of health are infuriating. Yet, once you get past that, there's a rewarding game underneath it all.
When the lines of war between Sega and Nintendo were drawn, one of the biggest battles came with Mortal Kombat. While we won't say which version was better, it was the game that separated the SNES and the Genesis in one major way — blood. The iconic fighting game hit the scene in , an era where games were not regulated, but its presence sparked the fire that leads to the ESRB rating board we know today. On the more "adult" Genesis, there was a code that allowed blood, while the SNES removed that feature, and took away any reference to killing your opponent.
We understand that there would be some licensing issues to get this game on the system, but it's such an important title in the history of the console war that we wish it could be included.
