Gunstar Heroes
Alisia Dragoon
Mutant League Football
Haunting Starring Polterguy
Disney's Aladdin (much better than the SNES version)
Mickey Mania
ToeJam & Earl: Panic on Funkotron
Quackshot starring Donald Duck
NBA Jam Tournament Edition

This is what I currently have for the Sega Genesis: https://www.vgcollec...

Perhaps it would offer some suggestions not already mentioned. I would recommend any off that list.

Shining Force 1 & 2 for sure. Warsong/Langrisser is also fun. Not console specific, but Sunset Riders and Uncharted Waters are also enjoyable.

Comix Zone rules so hard. Frustratingly hard without save states but still fun and the aesthetic is great. Pure 90s gritty comic goodness. Really short if you can get past the difficulty. Still a recommend imo.

A lot of good games were already mentioned but the Desert Strike series and SF2 Champion Edition are nice to have too. Mortal Kombat if you want a 16-bit version with blood. Shining Force 2 is excellent; got pretty far in it years ago but never finished it. I'll get back to it at some point.
