Evercade cartridges span dozens of classic platforms — and the Mega Drive / Genesis has one of the strongest showings in the entire library. With 88 Mega Drive / Genesis games spread across multiple cartridges, there’s plenty for fans of Sega’s iconic 16-bit console to get excited about.
Want to see every single one? The full list — with each game linked to the cartridge it appears on — is right here: Mega Drive / Genesis games on Evercade.
How Evercade Collections Work
Evercade doesn’t organise its cartridges by original platform. Instead, each cartridge is built around a publisher, developer, or theme — so a single cart might pull games from the Mega Drive, arcade hardware, and other systems all at once.
That means Mega Drive titles are scattered across several different collections rather than sitting in one dedicated Genesis-only cartridge. The platform list pulls them all together in one place, so you can see exactly which cartridge to pick up for any given game.
Each entry on the list links directly through to the cartridge page, where you’ll also find original game manual scans — a lovely touch for collectors and curious fans alike. You can browse all of those over at the Carts & Manuals page.
