Sega Genesis Emulators & Games 09-17-2012, 11:57 PM

Are there any Sega Genesis (Megadrive in some regions) fans?
It's a game console released in 1988, powered by 16-bit Motorola 68000 and 8-bit Zilog 80 processors (Z80 working as a coprocessor and providing backwards compatibility with Sega Master System, often used for driving soundchip in Genesis games).
I find it amazing what some developers got from this simple hardware and I enjoy the games even today.
I personally use mainly these emulators:
Gens+ (Windows)
Kega Fusion (Windows, Mac OS X)
GenPlusDroid (Android)
And these are my favorite games:
Sonic The Hedgehog 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles
Mega Turrican
Earthworm Jim and Earthworm Jim 2
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
Super Street Fighter II
Ethernal Champions
... and some more ;-)
Do you play any Sega Genesis games? What are your favorites? What emulators do you use? Or do you have the real thing?
