Grabbing onto barred walls and ceilings, you always know precisely where Ristar will move with a single tap of the d-pad. Ristar is the polar opposite of Sonic the Hedgehog’s chaotic speed. One that could release on Steam today, and is available there for download. Playing this Sega Genesis classic for 90 minutes was a breath of fresh air, despite being 25 years old. Sonic’s popularity allowed the franchise to languish through mediocre and bad games for over a decade, while Ristar faded into obscurity. There’s been no talk of a sequel or Sonic Mania style release here, despite it being the arguably better Team Sonic developed title. Despite this, Ristar remains a hidden gem of the Sega Genesis library. What are your favorite games on the list above, and if Nintendo ever decided to do something similar (highly doubtful), what SNES games would you want to see? Let us know in the comments below.Type Ristar into YouTube, and a dozen reviews pop up.

Peripheral support, including controllers, seems to be pretty good from the product reviews. Here's your chance to give them another try. As a Nintendo kid, I missed out on a lot of the early '90s console classics.

Especially if your parents were cool enough to get you a Genesis. With the exception of the Ecco games (I never could get behind a game about dolphins), I highly recommend every title on the list.
