Good idea, but is X-Com good for half an hour here, half an hour there?

If we`re sticking with snes then SHADOWRUN. Great snes game. But if you want to stick with platformers then Super Castlevania IV & Super Metroid would be my first two picks. Other than that Earthworm Jim or any of the megaman games.

How about some suggestions that don't involve out-right piracy? The 2nd paragraph of Volitions Advocate's post has like been the only one.

Totally, missions are pretty self-contained.

You can acquire Genesis games legally on Steam now, and they're mostly great games.

Hadn't thought of it in ages, but it is awesome. More frantic that gauntlet, and with crazy rune word rearrangement puzzles. Sounds weird but it's great.
I can vouch for both the Amstrad CPC and Atari ST versions. The Speccy one's probably a bit shit ;)

All the X-Com games are on Steam, and those that require it come pre-configured with Dosbox. Just install like any other Steam game, which takes all of thirty seconds since the original X-Com is about 20mb, and just double click to play.

For Sega Genesis there is Fusion, or Gens if you want Genesis & Sega CD games.
(
http://www.eidolons-inn.net/tiki-index.php?page=Kega) Kega Fusion does indeed support Sega CD. It also supports Master System games, and is cross-platform.
Suffice to say, it's my Genesis emulator of choice.
In any case, rather than posting a massive list of games, I will just point you to my game collection and recommend anything with a four or five star rating ;)
(

http://games.zerker.ca/Library/page22.html) Genesis.
I will give specific (and somewhat arbetrary) recommendations:
For SNES:
Umihara Kawase is a fun grappling-hook platform game.
Tetris Attack is a great puzzle game (later known as Puzzle League).
Legend of the Mystical Ninja (aka Goemon) is a fun action/adventure game, especially with a friend.
For Genesis:
Toe Jam & Earl is quirky and fun. Somewhat roguelike, in a weird way.
Bubble & Squeak is a cute light puzzle/platformer.
Musha is a great vertical-scrolling shooter.
And Ranger-X is a great side-scrolling shooter/platformer.
Of the ones I listed, I would say that Tetris Attack, Toe Jam & Earl and Musha would be fairly playable with a keyboard. The rest have platforming elements, so they are less suitable.

Don't bother with any Sonic game that isn't 1 or CD.

And failing that, play Ristar. Hope I'm not alone in thinking it deserved more attention.

Gunstar Heroes for Genesis.
