Top 100 greatest SEGA Genesis games of all time updated 2026 edition

Here are the rules. Only games confirmed released to retail in the North American markets during the original lifespan of the console count. That means, as much as I respect it, no Pier Solar or any aftermarket, fan games, demakes or homebrew. I am also sticking to 16-bit carts not Sega CD or 32X games.
