Exact number of officially released games ?

[chilled]

UPDATED June 2020

I'm counting and listing how many games (not cartridges!) were released officially for the Mega Drive / Genesis anywhere in the world as I can't find any proper list that does so. There seems to be around 930 games + another 40 if you count Tec Toy aftermarket shovelware, all of them officialy licensed. A more rounded 900 if you leave you the undumped ones, multigame carts and games that are mainly software or difficult cases. It must be a game (not software) licensed by Sega (so no taiwanese, Wisdom Tree, aftermarket games, but EA/Accolade counted as they were sort of "retro-licensed"; TecToy pack-in games (Mega Drive SoC 3 & 4 in the 2000s) mobile ports not counted as they were run by addional hardware (programmed in Java probably): EA's Guitar Idol, Sims 2, Fifa 2008, Sim City and Need for Speed Pro Street. It must be released in any region, no need for physical format (must be different enough from one region to another to count: see below). There are some difficult cases (software, etc.) I didn't count and some others that are included but at the beginning of the list for discussion.

You'll find them here, all merged: US library (around 700 games) + European exclusives + Japanese exclusives (including Mega Modem exclusives) + Brazilian, Korean & Australian exclusives (I don't consider Turma da Monica a distinct game):

Dude, Daze Before Christmas is an Australian exclusive, not European.

[chilled]

I knew, but then I saw an (E) ROM at goodgen 3.21, I'm gonna edit the OP anyway. Is it confirmed that it was never released in any European country?

What about Tecmo Cup?

Other country exclusives that I am missing?

[SEGA.GENESIS1989]

Tecmo Cup was never released.

[SpaceFlea]

You left out the following Japanese titles:

Go Net (similar to San San)
Sega Game Toshokan (not really a game, but like Art Alive it was sold as one and is part of the official list of released games - is required for a complete set)

Some people also might make a fuss that you left Outback Joey off the list.

[chilled]

Thanks,
I noticed Might & Magic III actually was not released, so removing it

I'm adding Outback Joey & Go Net (I started from the goodgen catalog for the list so that's why undumped games are not present), but not Game Tokoshan as I'm not adding neither Game Genie's, modems or even compilations (if the games were already released separately), all of which were officially released cartridges, but not games. That's why Art Alive! is so 50-50 for me: it was advertised as a game, you actually can do things with the pad without an external service or a second cartridge... but I reckon its consideration as a game is unclear, I'm counting it but putting at the end of the list.

So we are back to 899 games, a little less than what I was expecting (we always talk about 900+ or even 1000ish game catalog).

Any other officially released games (anywhere in the world) that have not yet been dumped?

[chilled]

edited to remove Spiritual Warfare, I must have forgotten to remove this one... back to 898 atm

[Phantar]

Regarding the J. League Pro Striker series, in 1993 there were J. League Pro Striker (aka J. League Pro Striker '93) and J. League Pro Striker Kanzenban (aka J. League Pro Striker Perfect). Although the latter was "just" a slightly tweaked, updated version of the former, they were released in Japan several months apart (and refelected a few changes during the '93/'94 soccer season), so I guess they may count as separate releases.

[chilled]

Yes that's why there are two reviews on Sega-16 (the 'perfect' variation was just published days ago, to my surprise). I personally think they are the same game, but it's another difficult case. As in some other sports games the next year iteration presents the same amount of changes (almost zero aside from roster update) but we are counting them as separate games, I think I'm following your recommendation and including J. League Perfect as a separate game (I'll be following Sega-16's site on this, also).

So there were 4 different J.League games after all ('final stage' being the best one by far and highly recommended, though not traslated).

Klax and Marble Madness are another two difficult cases (I'm assembling all those in the OP): there are two distinct versions developed by two distinct studios for the same game. Counting them as one game would be the equivalent of counting any HD, remastered game release as the same original game as one, which seems wrong.

This does not open the list to rereleases by other publishers (like classic series and whatnot) if the game was not substantially altered. Also variations of Mystic Defender etc still do just count as one game.

Please keep this going. Don't forget I'm not aiming to list all the official releases (this has been done tons of times) but to list actual games officially released (in other terms: approved by the makers of the console) in any country.

Updated the list with my hesitations at the beginning, also added two Jeopardy! games (Deluxe & Sports editions) and I put the names of the text adventures so the list is more readable: now 1 line = 1 game (easier to count, also).

I'm now at 904 games, does that sound right?

EDIT: also cleaned up the OP

[SpaceFlea]

To be honest there's no point in asking if it sounds right to any of us. You're maintaining it according to your own specifications of what you think is and isn't a game - something you're not sure of yourself. In that context none of us can tell you whether you are or aren't correct. If you're attempting to make some sort of "definitive" list, you might as well not bother because there is no fact, just a multitude of differing opinions.

If you're attempting to make some sort of "definitive" list, you might as well not bother because there is no fact, just a multitude of differing opinions.

I'm probably making the same mistake again, but what I'm trying to achieve is a somewhat consensual list, hence the hesitations (I have more straight opinions about Art Alive or Game Tokoshan, but I reckon there's space to debate, hence the hesitations in the way I put up this list).

In the end I'd like it to be a really useful list for someone looking for every damn game released for the system with all the 'crap' (ie a modem or a hacking cart mixed with the actual games).

Now, it's not going to be canon like lists that include every official commercial release in a country, since doing this worldwide is absolute nonsense in terms of accuracy, as I'm assuming games released in different regions with small title screen changes, etc. are the same release, which obviously isn't.

And I don't pretend to it to be definitive: being mostly based on goodgen, guardiana, etc there will always be new information that corrects previous assumptions (see the J.League example just above).

Of course my opinions will be there, but I want to listen other people here on interesting topics (at least for me) like if a game that was only playable with an accessory that no longer seems to work (modem) should be considered a game or not (I guess as long as it was played back then it is one).

Also I made this post specifically to hear about other specifications and maybe change my perception on the way.

"Nikkan Sports Pro Yakyuu Van" is another game that depends on the modem service to be played. I'm putting it at the beinning also, but it's still included.

[chilled]

removed "Nikkan Sports Pro Yakyuu Van" as it is software to retrieve baseball results via modem, not a game.

back to 903

902 without "Art Alive"

[OverDrone]

Absolutely your Klaxes and your Marble Madnesses need their own entries as you suggest, and agreed about the Mystic Defender type situation where their is minor graphical changes from region to region (I think Risky Woods/Galahad/Evil God Draxos does this with the main sprite too).

But when you get to the Japanese exclusives side of things, how are you going to approach games like Bare Knuckle 3 and Splatterhouse Part 3, where the localization significantly altered play? Or Magical Hat which has completely different graphics and sound driver too, IIRC?

[chilled]

Yes ATM Klax & MM are counted as 4 games total, I think it's the right choice: different developers, etc.

From the ones you mention, my only concern would be Magical Hat / Decap Attack. I consider US SoR 3 a hack of BKIII, so it's still the same game, same developer, the code was originated at the same place at the same time (basically it's the same code), etc etc.

Now Decap Attack: I don't think it should count as a separate game. From the player POV (this is important to me for this list), it's a graphic hack (that alters storytelling etc like other localizations, or even gameplay -Contra, etc), but think of PAL Sonic 1: I master this game (played it extensively back then) and I suck at original Sonic 1, but this doesn't make it a different game: it's just altered gameplay because of external changes (ie 50Hz atrocity).

What I'm trying to say is that Magical Hat was not released where Decap Attack was, right? That's the most important argument to prove that it's the same game. Tough one, though. I'll add Decap Attack outside the list in the OP for the time being.

But feel free to name other confusing titles, it's interesting to think about what makes a game unique in regard of those terms.

EDIT: On the other side, I'm also thinking maybe Decap should be regarded as a different game based on the same engine, like Streets of Rage 1 VS Golden Axe (or many other examples), thus making it more a separate game. Now, some games reuse the exact same engine, but others tweak and add a lot of new elements to the engine itself, that's not the debate: in both cases the game could be considered to be different, separate. After all, '98 iterations of some EA sports game reused the same engine etc and updated (slightly) the graphics & rosters, so the changes there are MAYBE less than between Magical Hat & Decap Attack, but are still considered different ?

Now I'm more prone to include Decap as a separate game, but I haven't played neither of them enough time to make a judgement based on a players POV: that's the kind of input I need for this scenarios.

EDIT2: does the forum site search for strings like Mega Drive game titles to show the wonderful animated banner ? Because just after editing this post I got the Decap Attack one! And it's not the first time it has left me thinking "Ha, just the game I was talking about".

[DJ_Convoy]

Well, I just bought Magical Hat recently, so maybe this weekend I'll play both for a while and let you know if they are worth classifying as two separate games (I'm pretty sure you should count them as two games, anyway).
