Yes, God yes. I want a REAL Phantasy Star successor. Algol was a fascinating backdrop for an amazing series that was truly ahead of its time.

Please, a new Jet Set Radio would be freaken fantastic! I almost wonder why Sega decides to just not do anything with these games and continue with their movie games.

I miss Phantasy Star so much (Online doesn't count). It's one of the quintessential jRPG series and it's absence weighs heavily even in a market saturated with jRPGs.

Alterd beast, streets of rage & can i say fighting vipers? Or is that cheating because of the huge vitua fighter influence? I also remember a game where you were a bounty hunter which i loved despite it controlling like ass think it was manhunter? The open worlds prototype style could be grand

It's not a series, but I'm a huge fan of Skies of Arcadia. Good times.

I played almost all of these, and would love to see them return. But mostly Gunstar Heroes, which would need beautiful sprites and 2d sidescrolling

@Crumbdunky They didn't. Though you did get an extended healthbar every so often for levelling up IIRC.

On second thought I don't know if these are actually Sega or not, but I remember playing a lot of Fur Fighters and Ooga Booga on my friends Dreamcast in third grade so those would be fun to revisit even though they probably suck now.

I would pay hundreds of dollars for a new Jet Set Radio, Skys of Arcadia, or Toy Commander game.

Gun Star Heroes takes the cake. Best genesis game ever.

@everybody who gets pissed because GamesRadar "forgot" to include your favorite series: They didn't forget. They just decided not to include it because you are a bitch and your tastes suck. So stop bitching. Great article as always!

Guess I am the only one who wants a sequel to Wonderboy III: The Dragons Trap.

Another Power Stone would be pretty cool, but I'm not really sure how they'd do it, other than an HD remake of the first or second one. I remember countless hours spent playing that and some shitty Spawn game back in high school... Good times. I never owned a Dreamcast, but a friend did, and every Friday after school we'd hang out with some friends and play a healthy diet of Power Stone, shitty Spawn game, and Smash Bros. Good times.

Yes to the top 3! All of them, right away. You listening SEGA?!

Such a great list. I miss the turn based strategy of the Shining Force series so much! The first one on Genesis really introduced me to a different genre of games and helped me branch out as kid. I wish they would return to that instead to those crap action games on the PS2. Oh and I'd love Shenmue 3 of course but that just goes without saying. (I almost forgot to mention Skies of Arcadia, desperately needs a sequel.)

Skies of Arcadia. Fantasy Zone. Phantasy Star!!!! Please revert back to a traditional (but upgraded) RPG and just deliver that classic experience. First 2 games and 4 were so great...
