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.

The 32X is an interesting novelty but I'm not certain there's a single compelling title in the entire library. Which, admittedly, is only something like 30 games.

Knuckles Chaotix has a unique play mechanic that's not in any other Sonic game and it's worth it for the novelty.
