Well, it's that time of the year again: time for a special round! This time, we're going to play a bunch of Genesis/Megadrive games that everyone who has the system owns. This will run for two weeks, so it will end on the 17th of Febuary. You can't just play any game you want (that would give the players with bigger collections an unfair advantage), but if there's a classic I missed, I might add it to the list.

Play each game until you run out of lives, and submit your total score. No continuing.

I think I own 3 of these. Wonder if my Genny still works; haven't powered it up since 2001.

Yeah, looking at the other scores posted so far Original mode looks alot easier.

[Jibbajaba]

Can we submit multiple scores? A month is a long time...

Sure, as long as no sneaky time travel is involved.

Just play both modes. Make arcade mode a bonus point or something. Why waste scores?
Gotta admit that is a mighty nice Columns score up above mine there.

Of course, play as many of these games as you want. That's the whole point.

All right then.

Yes it is.
Come get some! 98,690

A long time ago, I gave away most of the Genesis stuff to my nephews since it wasn't worth anything anyway. I kept around 20-30 games including 3 of this round's selections. Wonder which one I have left.

It has to be Sonic.

Dang, you're good at this aren't you?

Just looked this up, it has a 9.5/10 review average on GameFAQs. That's a must-buy for sure!

BTW, where was Columns II? I always hear about Columns I and III, but never any mention of a Columns II.

Yep. The new guy is kicking the crap out of us all so far. I might be able to improve some but I'm way out of practice on these. While the graphics and speed of the Genny amazed me in 89-90, I've always gone back to good old SMS. I've enjoyed the challenge.
Technically, Super Columns is Columns II. They hadn't planned on a 3rd release when naming the 2nd one.
