Jasoco Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Now that I have my Nomad, I'll be getting a lot of use out of it. What are some games you guys would recommend? So far, I have these selected as some games that are good for playing when not at home... Comix Zone Shanghai II: Dragons Eye Crüe Ball (Great pinball action and cool music and SFX) Micro Machines (Probably the BEST top down Racing game. And it looks even cooler on the Genesis.) Shove It: The Warehouse Game Flicky What else do y'all recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 M.U.S.H.A if you can find it. one of the best vertical shooters on the system The shinobi games are also excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christianscott27 Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 the two i've played the hell out of on my nomad are- williams arcade classics, you know joust, sinistar, cant go wrong and its no big deal if you have to end a game all of the sudden biohazard battle- crazy r-type shooter that gets good really fast and sucks you in, great for making the time fly.

tantone56 Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 The best sega game hands down has to be Golden Axe Or maybe even golden axe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 * Dynamite Headdy * Rocket Knight Adventures * Columns * Toe Jam & Earl * Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Just a few of many good examples which are fun on Nomad OR Genesis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Dragons Fury Gunstar Heroes as mentioned above Contra Hard Corp as also mentioned above Gauntlet IV Pirates! Gold (Hard to find, expensive when you do, but a must have!) Any Sonic game Castlevania Bloodlines Star Control (melee battle are good quick fun!) Virtual Racing (It looks best on the Nomad...)

Jasoco Posted October 13, 2003 Author Share Posted October 13, 2003 Virtual Racing (It looks best on the Nomad...)You mean Virtua Racing? I'm surprised it even worked on the Nomad. I thought for sure some weird conflict would come up. Hell, I'm surprised an X-Band modem works on it. If only the network were still up. (Not that there'd be anyone else out there playing at the same time.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maibock Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Try some of the sports games. I think Madden looks and plays much better on the Nomad than it does on the GBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisbid Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I would recommend Ms.Pac-Man ,but it doesn't work with 6 button sure you can, just hold the mode button down while powering up the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xot Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Wow, no one said Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition yet?! If you can find it, Alyssa Dragoon is a personal fave. Wish *I* still had a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liveinabin Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Sonic 1. Time trial on the first level. That's a good way to kill an hour or so:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Ah, glad to hear Contra: Hard Corps got mentioned. Exhilerating gameplay, awesome sound, some of the best graphics I've seen on the Genesis (unless you count Virtua Racing, which is also recommended), C:HC has it all. It just may be the best Genesis game I've ever played (and yes, I am counting Double Dragon! The Coin-Op is better). I was totally blown away by the 3D-ish graphics, the Genesis could really hold it's own against the SNES. Even better than Contra III IMO. I'm just sorry it took so long to be introduced to this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just sorry it took so long to be introduced to this game. Wow. I was just so disappointed comparing CV: Bloodines to Super CV IV that I forsook all Konami games on the Genny. Now I need to track this down. MERCS is also really good for shmup's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I need to track this down. Yep, it has more of everything, and there's so many explosions going on, you can't help but get excited. Check out the Level 2 boss (be sure to go the 'Follow Deadeye Joe' path, though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
