Typing of the Dead
Resident keystroke
house of the dead The series is still fun to play, especially in an arcade setting, but there's something more charming and magical about it. Typing of the Dead. Instead of blasting zombies in levels that are on rails, players must type words.

streets of rage 2
Brawl with Purpose
Some franchises last forever, but streets of anger existed only on the Sega Genesis for three games and took Sega decades to perfect. inter alia, streets of rage 2 I still think the overall experience is the best.
Players can choose between four characters when playing solo, but of course there was also two-player co-op in the past. It's a relatively short game that you can finish in an afternoon, but other than that the pixel art is still colorful and the beat 'em up gameplay is solid.

Shenmue was a must-have Dreamcast game in 1999 that was far superior to other action games. The game was set in a more open world within a city that expanded over time. Red Dead Redemption 2 Now, for a Dreamcast game, it's still pretty amazing.
It was also a story-driven action game filled with quirky characters and a mystery that kept players invested. It was a promising start to what fans hoped would become a long-running series, but Sega's lofty goals were not met. Shenmue It's still a very important game for them.

Phantasy Star Online
Franchise Evolution
Phantasy Star Online It started out on the Dreamcast, but grew so big that it branched out to other consoles. Plus, even though it's not an official MMO, it's been able to receive updates for years. It had one DNA. What was so fascinating about the game was its simple design, almost like the first 3D games. diablo clone.

Makino Yoshitaka
Valkyria Chronicles It reinvented the tactical RPG genre, and it baffles me why more games haven't copied its design. Set in a fantastical version of Europe, two nations fight it out, with a neutral zone caught in the middle.
In missions, players can choose which character or vehicle to move in real time, and enemies on the map can also fire back. The action was paused when the player was ready to attack. These real-time effects make each mission more harrowing and exciting.

Bayonetta
hairy porter
Bayonetta Although it was developed by PlatinumGames, Sega was a big supporter before Nintendo fully invested in the franchise. This action game Devil May CryThe titular witch appears, attacking with four guns (two in her hands and two in her feet).
A forgotten Sega franchise that deserves a return.
Sega, the creators of Sonic and Yakuza, has a treasure trove of cult classics that many fans have been asking for their return.
If the player dodges an attack, time slows down, and the player executes a combo, Bayonetta can use her hair for spells, from summoning a giant demon to creating a guillotine to behead her angelic enemies. All the best ways to achieve the best results. Bayonetta Still an action legend.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
Hawaii is your playground
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth It is the eighth main yakuza A franchise of games, the first was set entirely in North America via Hawaii, and the second featured a turn-based combat system. most yakuza Games may make the list, but this entry goes above and beyond to create something memorable.
The turn-based combat and job systems were fun to experiment with, Honolulu's paradise was fascinating, the mini-games were on point, and the side quests were just as quirky and well-thought-out as previous entries. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth It requires a lot of time investment, but there are too few games like that.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2
attitude era
Without Sonic, Sega might be nothing today, and picking just one game seems like an impossible task. In other words, if there is one game that represents the best sonic series and a company called Sega. Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
Bigger and better in every way, this entry adds for the first time Tails, Co-op, and Super Sonic, which have now become hallmarks of the franchise. The music was unreal, the explosive pace felt believable, and the artwork was top-notch. In 1992, Sega fans couldn't have dreamed that video games could get any better. Video games have definitely evolved, but Sonic the Hedgehog 2 It's still amazing.
