They remain mostly simple games, but the Road Rash series's early entries are great to play on the Genesis and they're still worth a look.

I'm gonna be a nuisance and say Sonic...Spinball. And yes, I mean it.

If we're talking about must play for quality, probably only really Phantasy Star IV and Comic Zone. I want to say Streets of Rage 2 and 3, but I don't remember how those are. Phantasy Star II ends up somewhere between here and novelty, since you need maps to play it.

If we're talking more novelty, I'd say Pac Man 2: The New Adventures, Phantasy Star III (simply for its ambition) and Duke Nukem 3D. I can't promise you'd have a good time with them, but I think they're nice experiences.

Comix Zone and the Marvel games are fun but they are also super hard. Look up some easy hacks.
