#Sega games on gamecube software#
What follows is a list of the ten rarest titles, though note that this will only cover games that released in the West (NA/EU) and won’t feature bundles, compilations (aside from one infamous example that I did include, as it wasn’t compiled of games that were previously available individually), strictly educational software or special, limited editions. With such a huge library of games, there were bound to be some lesser known titles that are more difficult or more desirable to get hold of today. Somewhat unfathomably, games are still occasionally released on Genesis even today, such as the fantastic twin stick arena shooter Xeno Crisis by Bitmap Bureau. On the Genesis, we saw the birth of franchises such as Sonic the Hedgehog and Streets of Rage, while even sports games such as FIFA and NHL Hockey (known initially as EA Hockey outside of North America) debuted on Sega’s console as the best SEGA Genesis games before being ported to other systems. The 16-bit generation of consoles are arguably the most influential and beloved machines of all time, with indie games to this day paying homage to the graphical styles, chiptune soundtracks and game design philosophies that the era is known for. Launching in 1989 in the US and in 1990 in all other territories, the Genesis was hugely popular in its day, selling more than 31 million units across its lifespan. Rare Sega Genesis games are increasing in number, thanks to the fact that it’s now 23 since it debuted in Japan as the Sega Mega Drive (the name it was known as everywhere except the US).
