A couple games I played that really stood out to me were Keeper and Eriksholm. The former has an incredible art style as you'd expect from Double Fine and super clean and vivid throughout. The latter had unbelievable cutscene fidelity and the environments you sneak through are lush and layered.
I'm a little surprised John didn't bring up Absolum or Shinobi: Art of Vengeance. I know for sure he loves the first one but I suppose Earthion does showcase the Mega Drive's capabilities more than those two push anything, they just have incredible art styles.
