Parallax, line scrolling, animation, scaling, rotation, and many other visual effects often made 16-bit games stand out, particularly when a game system supposedly couldn't do them in hardware. Here, we look at some games that I personally find very impressive for the Sega Genesis.

Episode Notes:

1. All games caught via a Mega SG.

2. If you're in the market for physical games, some of these are still quite affordable.

3. You could always tell when a developer really had some skill. Not only do most of these look great, they also play and sound great too.

4. I had a list of about 30 games when I started. We could definitely do a part 2 and 3 to this if you guys enjoyed it.

5. I played my Genesis well into the life of the Sega Saturn. It's one of my favorite machines of all time, and its library is second to none in overall quality.

6. Like most of the best games, the majority here were system exclusive and appeared on no other hardware of the time.
