Are we counting sega-published games (As Vectorman's inclusion would imply)?

If so, chalk up sim: Yoot Tower (that was Segasoft. They're a fully owned subsidiary, so...), Vitural Pet:Seaman, Tactical Espionage: Headhunter.

Kart Racer - Sonic R

edit: I dunno if you would lump it in with sports, but they have fishing pretty well covered with Sega Bass Fishing

I think you mean Sonic Drift. No karts in R.

Really? Hmph, I figured it was a kart racing game, as I haven't actually played it myself.

Sonic R is just you racing around as your character. Sonic Drift was a sweet Game Gear Sonic kart racing series.

Nah, they were all on foot. Played kinda like the versus modes in the old Sonic games, but in 3D. I actually really liked it. But nontheless, no vehicles. Sonic Drift for GG was the kart racer.

Burning Rangers is a platformer, at it's heart. Much like Metoid and Bug!

Ah, so it was like a Running Wild/Mad Dash Racing deal? That sounds pretty fun actually.

What genre would you all consider Burning Rangers a part of? Action?

Since we're including games published by Segasoft, add PC turn-based strategy to the list of genres. Emperor of the Fading Suns would fall into that category.

Not really a dating sim, or even a love sim. It's more of a hybrid adventure/strategy game with some ren'ai elements.

A better example of a love adventure game is Candy Stripe, made by WOW Entertainment.

Don't forget:

Lovely Pop Action RPG - Napple Tale
Life Sim - Roommania
A-RPG - Legend of Oasis
Table - Sakura Taisen Online, Guru Guru Onsen (MJ, poker, daifugou, hanafuda)
RTS - Hundred Swords
Typing - Typing of the Dead
Fishing - Get Bass/Sega Bass Fishing, Sega Marine Fishing

I'm sure there's more
