​@@PlanetShlorpian There's still local co-op games being made in PC, console, and even the arcade. There's even Steam with online support for local co-op games by giving them remote access. So I wouldn't really call local multiplayer as a thing in the past. . Keep in mind that not many people are able to huddle up a single screen and just prefer having a big individual screen. Back then, if we had a choice we would take that route. There's also the case where people are just too distant from each other and online is more convenient than physically being there, this is true for having friends overseas.

For example, a new item to equip and give you better stats, but it is only available in the micro-transaction shop and it takes forever to even get it, because they don't make it that simple.

Jon Kelley The way the new gen consoles were made. They had to sacrifice backwards compatibility.

1:36 The RF shields for the 32X & CD aren’t required for either model. It’s just there cause Sega was scared of interference. Only piece of metal you need is just the CD’s joining plate to mount the Genesis to it As for the plugs, today you’re able to avoid that BS by getting a TRIO AC adapter Also, TerraOnion released a flashcart called the MegaSD that has the tech to run Genesis, CD, & 32X games (not sure about the CD 32X games though). Makes for a better method to homebrew. Hell, Pier Solar was mind blowing to most for enhancing the audio Another thing worth mentioning, there’s now reproductions of Sega CD games.

"it's 2007"

I think this might be my favorite AVGN episode. I love the console and accessory review episodes, and this is one of the very best of them.

3:41 Sad to realize that it still hasn't changed.

I love how he mentions that they're in the year 2007 and the cables still end with that huge box. Well, it's 2021, a lot of them still do.

The 32X was apparently an idea born from the idea that the Atari Jaguar was a threat to Sega somehow. I just, Sega, I love you to death I grew up with the Genesis but, my god, you just make me facepalm so hard with the 32X it's unreal.

Sega made console "upgrades" and "add-ons" a laughing stock. Atari played "follow the leader". Ever see anything on modern consoles beyond game storage user changes? Meanwhile, on PCs (especially HTPCs with wireless game controllers)....

Well the 32X came from the idea of making SEGA Neptune cheaper. Originally the Neptune was going to be the next SEGA console so they had an idea to make a cheaper version for people that already own a Mega Drive

That's the way they all are in Ireland. It's probably because plugs are shaped differently here and wouldn't fit otherwise.

Honestly one of my favourites. The 32x was before I was even alive and it seemed so crazy to me, and this video is a blast

Man, the coronavirus quarantine of 2020 takes you places, like 2007.

"We live in the year 2007!" Christ, I can't believe how long it's been.

7:40 yeah, i had ALL my sonic 3 & knuckles saved data erased when i popped it into my 32x. didnt 'damage the game' but i had to do EVERYTHING over and make sure not to play any non 32x games in the damn thing again.. i used to beat the game through with each character getting all the emeralds and again with each character without picking up any so i could stage select with the choice to go super form or not. sonic knuckles tails and sonic&tails combo saved games. thats 8 completed playthroughs...

"We live in the year 2007" Well, shit.

The reason behind skimping out on the edge labels: Production costs. It tokk quite an advanced machine or human workforce to attach these "over the edge" labels. By skipping the edge label, going for a simple one side label, they could use simple labeling machines to a fraction of the cost of the previous label methods. But did that make games cheaper?. No! Guess where the money went?
