I never had any Sega systems growing up, what did I miss? (lemmy.world)

I've been filling out my emulator collection and thought I'd poke my head into the world of Sega consoles, which I have no experience with.

What classic Master System/Genesis/32x/Game Gear/Sega CD games should I try? I'm more of an RPG guy, but I'll play a good retro platformer or whatever.

What I've found so far from my own research (mostly Genesis):

Altered Beast
Beyond Oasis
Castlevania Bloodlines
Comix Zone
Crusader of Centy
Death and Return of Superman (I just really liked this comics arc)
Earthworm Jim 1+2
Gauntlet 4
Golden Axe 1+2
Landstalker
Might and Magic - Gates to Another World (I think this is MM2?)
OutRun and OutRun 2019
Phantasy Star 1-4
Shadowrun
Shining Force 1+2
ToeJam and Earl
Ys - The Vanished Omens

What I have no interest in:

Sonic
Fighting games
Sports games

EDIT: I'll definitely take note of any Saturn/Dreamcast recommendations too, but my plan is to start with the older consoles and work my way up.

Wonder Boy in Monster World! Fuck! I loved that game so much!

It’s like a Zeldavania RPG, is the best I could describe it. Can’t remember the story for shit, but I played the balls off of that game. A bit grindy, but that is part of the appeal.
