Best Sega Games
A list of the best video games developed and/or published by the company SEGA.
-
Sonic the Hedgehog
The 1991 classic. This isn't just the best Sonic game, but it really is a masterpiece.
The blue blur's humble beginnings. To think he went from this to a full-on live-action CGI movie!
So good. All he needs is a spin dash and his best buddy Tails, and he's on his way to fame.
-
Nights Into Dreams
Set in a world where all dreams take place. The dream world has two areas: Nightopia and Nightmare. The game was inspired by Cirque du Soleil's show Mystère. When making the game, Sega researched dreams, REM sleep, and psychologists like Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung.
The game received universal acclaim.
-
Skies of Arcadia
Arguably one of the best Sega games ever made. Centers around air pirates, floating islands, and pirate galleons that fly.
-
Super Monkey Ball
-
Shinobi
Critically acclaimed. A 3D game starring a ninja dressed in black garb and a mystical red cape. The cape stretches back as you run.
-
Vectorman
Essentially Wall-E. Humanity has polluted the Earth so badly that it evacuated the planet and left robots to clean up the toxins, wastes, and trash. The game's main character is Vectorman, a humble robot made entirely of lime-green orbs. He is programmed to dispose of toxic sludge by taking it into space and discharging it into the sun.
The game received universal acclaim. Its gameplay is similar to Donkey Kong Country, but with hand-blasters and the ability to transform using power-ups.

A cel-shaded game where you skate around and spray-paint graffiti on walls while escaping riot police. It includes both original and licensed music that combines genres like J-pop and hip hop. The game was widely acclaimed and received awards.
