Wait, Hit & Run was for SEGA?

No people are going off on some weird Simpsons: Hit & Run tangent because it's abit of a GTA clone and someone mentioned the Simpsons taxi game which is a pretty blatent Crazy Taxi clone.

Oh yeah, Simpsons: Road Rage. That was awful. I know this from gameplay footage I watched on the tellybox.

Topspin would be one. It took the control scheme of Virtua Tennis and mapped it for more realistic tennis play. It also sucked all the personality out of it.
So yeah, Virtua Tennis is better.

I remember this SEGA game I used to play when I was a child.
It was a game which you were 3 wikings, each with their own abilities. You had to think a way to finish the level without loosing any of your wikings. It was a nice game but I have forgoten the name.

I think he means The Lost Vikings. It was a Blizzard game before they became the Diablo -craft dudes. Wasn't even close to a SEGA game since it was on SNES and I'm pretty sure PC aswell.
Twas awesome. Shame they don't make games like that anymore, other than Trine.

Yep, that's the game, Lost Vikings. The game was actually for the Genesis too. It was such a good and clever game and thanks to the password system, the game took a lot more than other SEGA games to finish. The game had also very good music:

The game was also ment to be a little humorous I think.
I never managed to finish it though and never played number 2.

Oh yes! Lords of Thunder sure was awesome. Heh, every time someone mentions it I automatically hear the sexy shopkeepers "May I help you?" in my head. Followed by her "Thank you."
Also liked Sol-Feace, though that might have been mostly for the music and not so much for the actual gameplay...

By the way, did you know Lords of Thunder is actually a TG-16 CD game? o_o originally..but still. I'd still count it as Sega inspired since it's the only other system it was on. Sol Feace was alright. There was also another shmup that was like..pseudo 3d too. I think it's Novastorm but it might be something else.
Lost Wikings was pretty cool too :B but that was multiplatform.
