Hmmm, I remember a strategy game on the Megadrive/Genesis and I'm trying to recall the name of it. You were a robot that could transform into a plane and you had to make your way across a map capturing buildings by dropping guys near them. You could build various units and ferried them around in plane mode.

Herzog Zwei. Often considered the first true RTS. I loved it back when I was a kid.

I'll second recommendations for the Shining Force I and II and Phantasy Star 4 – they're all amazing RPGs. For shooters, Gunstar Heroes and Ranger X were also very good.

Don't forget Secret of Mana! Despite the game bugs it was very enjoyable.


My fav SNES games:
Secret of Mana (Duh)
Final Fantasy VI (III on the USA cart)
Super Bomberman (The best party game EVER)
King of Dragons (Simple side-scrolling fighting fun)
Mario Paint (Strangely fun to waste time on this)
Mario Kart (I taught my dad how to play this... he promptly schooled me soon after)

I didn't own a Genesis, but...
Sonic 3 (Having 3 different characters helped replay value a bit)
Ghostbusters (Bobblehead ghostbusters, but it was a decent game)

Definitely the entire Streets of Rage (Bare Knuckle in Japan) series. It is still hands down one of the best beat-em'-ups that I have played.
