Taito’s legendary Darius series already appeared on Genesis with the sequel, known as Sagaia outside Japan. The original game finally appeared in 2019 for the Mega Drive Mini, and it was based on a proof-of-concept by a homebrew developer. It’s now possible to play the first Darius on your Genesis, and it’s an incredible game well worth spending time with.

Gunstar Heroes (Game Gear)
Gunstar Heroes was an amazing game, and the Game Gear version is virtually as good as its Genesis counterpart. A Japanese exclusive, it received some changes that may not appeal to fans of the original. Still, it’s portable Gunstar! What more could you want?
Gauntlet IV
Tengen had a huge presence on the Genesis, offering plenty of Atari classics that were very close to the originals. In some cases, they were actually better. Gauntlet IV was one such title, and it added to the already awesome multi-player mayhem by adding a ton of extra modes and full four-player support. It just didn’t get any better than this.
