I've been playing Gleylancer and Death Duel on Genny the most, got them for Christmas from the wife.
Remember what I said about Death Duel in that Christmas thread of it being a stupidly fun shooter? Well, after playing it quite a bit I must say that it's much more than that. In the game, you control a Mech and have to fight against monsters and other Mechs from a first-person perspective in an arena setting. Each opponent needs a certain strategy and set of weapons (you can carry three of them at the same time) to defeat. Some are very quick, some have high firepower, for others you have to blast off their limbs and weapons in a fixed order to kill them, etc.
You get points for how fast you get rid of the opponents and collect money to buy weapons and repair your Mech. There also are qualifying rounds between levels where you have to rack up a certain number of points by shooting enemies that scroll across the screen horizontally from both sides, similar to a shooting gallery.
DD is a strategy action game with lots of shooting, great graphics, tight gameplay and wacky characters, it has a high replay value ("just one more try") and is tons of fun. It's kinda cool to discover a gem like that on the Genny even after all these years.

…Edit: For those curious why the genesis version of FF2, the dipswitch code in this version allows for all sorts of combo goodness that’s always been a fun alternative to what’s usually possible in FF2/FFS:
Genesis version of fatal fury 2= possible best version?
I was watching some combo videos for fatal fury special the other day when I noticed some fatal fury 2 combo videos linked in the related videos, Fatal fury 2 is REALLY not a very combo friendly game so I had to click out of curiosity. wow, it looks like takara took some big liberties with the...

Haha, wow! Had no idea about this. The only port of FF2 I ever played was the SNES version as a kid before I got my Neo a few years after that. I'll have to try this out when I get back home on Sunday.
Thanks for the tip and have a good new year, man!

3 count bout almost became a Christmas game for me but I was beaten by the cheap AI too much for it to be recurrent.
I always play Silent Hill, and as a matter of fact I should play it today at night again

Same here this xmas! The 2-player tag team got the better of my brother and I. I think we actually got worse the longer we played. The strategies from BBH were no help at all to us.
