What's the best game made by sega?

[Vlajdermen]

Was too lazy to make a poll, shoot me.

Their xbox games Panzer Dragoon Orta and Jet Set Radio Future seem like the objectively best, but I never got the emulator to work so I don't know.

The best from what I played would be Sonic 3, Streets of Rage 2, Nights into Dreams, and Virtua Fighter 5, for obvious reasons. Personal favourites are Panzer Dragoon Saga, because I love that Moebius shit, and Sonic Unleashed, for the fun controls and the idea of retrying tracks to earn S-ranks, which unlike all 3d sonic games but adventure 2 it actually made challenging. Its art and music are the best in the series. Many parts of it are shit but they fall squarely into what I can tolerate.

What I said about Panzer Dragoon Saga applies to Phantasy Star 4 as well. Both wonderful sci-fi adventures.

I was too lazy to play yakuza but 0 and like a dragon seem cool.

Made by SEGA, or on a SEGA system?

I'm currently around 300 games and 3 years into a 16-bit playthrough, having finished most of those games several time, and my fave SEGA games are:

• Shining Force 2
• Phantasy Star 4
• Streets of Rage 1 through 3 (all fantastic in their own way)
• Golden Axe (see avatar)
• The Revenge of Shinobi
• Sonic 3
• Sonic & Knuckles
• Afterburner 2
• Comix Zone
• Ecco 2
• Shadowrun (I think this was in house, might be wrong though).
  
• Kid Chameleon
• Landstalker

Others which were on the SEGA Megadrive, but were 3rd party would be:

• Thunderforce 3
• Star Control
• Batman
• Hellfire
• Ghouls N Ghosts
• Castlevania Bloodlines
• Flashback
• Warsong (Der Langrissa)
• Trouble Shooter 2/Battlemania 2
• Eliminate Down
• Gley Lancer
• Devil Crash
• Double Dribble
• Langrisser 2
• Dinos For Hire
• Alien 3
• Buck Rogers - Countdown to Doomsday
• Blades of Vengeance
• Decap Attack/Magical Hat
• The Immortal
• Evander Hollyfield Real Deal Boxing
• Greatest Heavyweights
• Gunstar Heroes
• California Games
• Arrow Flash
• Empire of Steel
• Dangerous Seed
• Elemental Master
• Gynoug/Wings Of Wor
• Insector X
• Gauntlet 4

Thunderforce 3 is probably my fave game ever, with Afterburner 2 the game which I'm still addicted to and play almost every other night even after 30 odd years.

The best gaming set up for me is PC+ SEGA Megadrive. PC for the depth & 3D games, Megadrive for the quickfire action and buzz. Perfection.

Contra: Hard Cops.

There seems to be some advancement in OG Xbox emulation so who knows, maybe we'll get to play JSRF and Orta one day.



I am mainly interested in trying out From's Otogi series if they ever become fully playable.

 

[Modron]

Yakuza 0

If you already know the answer why ask the question?

Made by sega. Some of the games I listed are from after sega stopped making consoles.

Agreed. Genesis nailed that at-home arcade machine schtick right to the core.

Contra: Hard Cops.

That's Konami

 

[Dodo1610]

Probaly not the best but the one I played the most is Medieval 2: Total War

 

[Late Bloomer]

Golden Axe is my favorite Sega game. I have spent many hours playing it. Different characters to play as, mounts with special powers, you make camp in between levels, boss fights, and a level on the back of a giant eagle.

• Star Control

Meaning no disrespect, but while Star Control was a fantastic game (albeit one that made watching Battlestar Galactica with me full of terrible puns), the Genesis port was awful. Do you REALLY need a version of Archon you can play after twelve beers?

It's just easy plug & play 2 player couch co-op fun. I've always had consoles in the front room, then an office-room for the PC, and when mates come round we play in the front room.

I think the ports fine myself tbh too. Not as good as the PC version, but very playable still.

 

[HeroMarine]

Sonic, Sonic 2, Phantasy Star 3, Phantasy Star 4, Streets of Rage

 

[Morpheus Kitami]

Feels a bit silly reducing such a big company down to even a handful of games, but..
Altered Beast
Golden Axe
Phantasy Star 2
The Revenge of Shinobi
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Vectorman
What I like about these is that four of these are not in genres I would usually enjoy, outside of Shinobi and Vectorman. Obviously biased towards the Genesis era, though I have played a few of the more beloved Dreamcast titles.

 

[POOPERSCOOPER]

I was more of a Nintendo kid growing up but I did get a Sega Saturn in like 2000 and Panzer Dragoon Saga was pretty good and weird. I also used to love fucking people up at the arcade in Virtua Fighter 2. Just writing that sentence makes me feel old as fuck.

Having memories about the early days / glory days of the arcades is awesome. Kicking ass at Virtua Fighter 2 sounds great to me. I mentioned my favourite Sega game is Golden Axe. A big part of those memories is from the arcade days playing with friends. A lot better than talking shit playing Among Us or Fortnite.

Outrun.

 

[ADULF HITLOR FAN KLUB]

I've never been much of a Sega fan and could never got into Sonic either, but I do remember having a blast playing Altered Beast on Genesis with friends as a kid.

 

[Lucumo]

Considering how many games they have done, there is no single "best"...but eh, I will go with Shenmue.

 

[mediocrepoet]

Only considering games that Sega developed...

Just one? Definitely Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution.

Honourable mentions in no particular order:

Spy Hunter
Golden Axe
Shinobi
Shadow Dancer
Yakuza series (all)

Love that op asks for the best sega game and the first retard list like a hundred games just to flex

For me is Starflight, is not the original version but, after playing the old versions, I claim is the most beautiful and best overall. Engaging mechanics, interesting world to explore, and no hand holding. Although it looks not that great compared to the king; Star Control: The Ur-Quan Masters, but what space game doesn't.

 

[Curratum]

I would go with Phantasy Star 4. It's the only JRPG that I ever played to completion so that has to count for something, right?

 

[Vlajdermen]

If published by sega counts as made by sega( sega funded development!) than alpha protocol

I LOVE ALPHA PROTOCOL THIS MUCH.

AP is the bomb, but no, developed only.
