One of the games at the center of the 1993 Senate Hearings on Video Game Violence, Mortal Kombat on the Genesis offered brutal faithfulness to the arcade original, and it went on to outsell the SNES version by a margin of more than two to one. Are blood and gore really such important selling points? Um, yeah!

Brutal: Paws of Fury
Gametek’s furry fighters appeared on all three of Sega’s 16-bit machines, and opinions vary as to which is the best. The Genesis version can hold its own against its Sega CD and 32X siblings, but how does it compare to the other fighters available on the console?
Tom & Jerry: Frantic Antics!
The cartoon duo duke it out, 16-bit style! How was it? Read the review to see!
Gleylancer
Though only released in Japan, Gleylancer is one of the best shooters available on the Genesis. A great shmup (and an expensive one) Gleylancer is an awesome experience.
Chiki Chiki Boys
Chiki Chiki Boys is a great little game that plays a lot like Wonder Boy in Monster Land. Reprogrammed by Sega due to Capcom’s licensing issues with Nintendo, this colorful and engaging arcade port is a solid adventure that more people need to try out. It flew under the radar of a lot of people, and needs to be played!
