Rent A Hero No.1

I've never played the original Genesis game, but this is supposed to be a remake into 3D form. It felt similar in feeling to Shenmue and I like the theme of being more of a normal everyday kind of character, where although Yakuza is also similar to Shenmue it's more inclined toward criminality. But I do like Yakuza 3 in kind of balancing that aspect with it being my favorite in that series. Judgment was alright, but felt like it dialed back the side activities too much.

IllBleed

Although difficult to understand the gameplay and I've never gotten past the first attraction, I really like the style and feeling that this one evokes.

18 Wheeler: Pro American Trucker

Fun game with that cool 2000s SEGA attitude. This game is kind of built onto by a series that isn't by SEGA, but very similar called Big Mutha Truckers.

Haunting: Starring Polterguy

Always liked the style of this game and pretty simple to get into.

REVENGE OF FUCKING SHINOBI!

Shinobi III: Return Of The Ninja Master is also equally great, love that you can run now. Really makes you feel like you're a ninja
