I don't understand people's confusion with Beavis and Butthead for Genesis. I rented it as a kid and figured it out, I even figured out how to get the secret ending where you go on stage with Gwar (pretty obvious, just keep walking to the backstage area instead of going inside the venue). It's only hard until you get a decent weapon, that's why you do the mall stage first to get the toy machine gun, then you can plow through everyone.

There are so many awesome Genesis games; I just didn't have many of them as a kid.

Genesis is probably the console I play the most, but recently I modded my Saturn with an ODE and I’m loving it. So many good and super unique games

@@themeangene Being able to play games in Japanese really opens up the Saturn's library, with the added bonus of making collecting actually a reasonable endeavor. I spent a year recently playing almost exclusively Saturn games and there are still a ton on my shelf I haven't touched yet. Constantly amazed by how often I run across second-hand games I'd never even heard of. As someone who grew up outside of Japan, being able to experience everything the Saturn actually had to offer as an adult is like combing through a long-lost piece of SEGA history where they were kind of at the top of their game in their home country (don't forget Saturn outsold the N64 there). Reminds me of the PC Engine as well: another console that had an insane library in Japan and is always part of the conversation when its respective console generation is discussed, but is completely forgotten elsewhere.

@@AilisKnil I always heard the Saturn looks worse than the ps1 when it comes to 3d. Yet my experience is that a lot of Saturn games look incredible. The shining games especially, I was kind of in disbelief how good they look compared to a lot of ps1 joints. Then I booted up resident evil and it is a tiny bit more detailed than the original release on the ps1…idk, it seems like much has been made about the Saturns 3d capabilities not being comparable, but I feel like that’s only isolated to certain cross platform titles. And yes! The imports are insane. Luckily on the ODE you can play translations. Looking forward to digging into Dragon Force…also, the on board save system?! I was very impressed. Still get a memory cartridge, but nevertheless, it is a very cool feature.

I was a Sega guy growing up and all this Sega talk was fantastic

This was tons of fun to watch! Jason's channel is fantastic!

I’m feeling that Mega Man 3 picture . I love that game and understand how it is with siblings , one’s trash is another’s treasure . I’d have been stoked too .

3:33 The port is just straight up called a "Game Port", or rarely a "Joystick Port". If your motherboard, or more commonly, sound card had one of these ports, it was a bright mustard yellow connector. It was included on sound cards because you could also use it to plug in MIDI devices.

General Chaos and Haunting are my favorite Genesis games ever and I never see them mentioned in lists

Damn I had Batman Forever too. Never understand how to get to jumping down to the lower level. I would accomplish it by chance. I never actually learned how until AVGN did an episode about it

Ive heard that the saturn version of symphony of the night has extra content in it. So does the resident evil.

Phantasy Star IV greatest RPG of All time in my opinion

Love your guys' longer vids like these. I put em on to listen to while jamming SNES, made for great company with some brews and Mario All-Stars. Good stuff 👍

man, the editing on that one!! very impressive.. also, Aero The Acro-Bat is legit my favorite Sega game, so don't listen to them, it IS better than ZOOL!

I was obsessed with Virtua Fighter, so I bought the 32x just to get Virtua Fighter.

I smashed my head against the wall of Mickey Mania for too many hours as a child.

I have actually - it definitely helps. But it’s still impossible.

Wonder Boy in Monster World and Monster World IV are some of the best games on the console. I prefer WB in MW but they’re both amazing Metroidvania style games. There’s a modern sequel called Monster Boy which is fantastic and pays tribute to the earlier games. One of my favorite series on general.

I remember being a bit disappointed with mean bean machine when I first played it because I was expecting a platformer or something. These days I have an appreciation for puzzle games and quite enjoy it. Its just a localized Puyo Puyo after all.

Electronic Gaming Monthly was the shiz.

Robocop vs terminator? Greendog the beached surfer dude? Quackshot? Ya im struggling to come up with games. Not very meny friends had a sega.

Using a clip from the Curb Seinfeld reunion. What a weird, deep cut!

Best genesis game of all time is Kings Bounty and its by a country mile. I never hear anybody talk about it either not even on top 100 lists. It's criminal really maybe the most underrated genesis game. I'm looking at you Graves to right this wrong.

RPGS had "the most going for them?" A lot of these Snes-Ps2 era JRPGs didn't have amazing gameplay once you get down to it. Linear turned based games that didn't have a whole lot of room for build customization. Best art and music? maybe but I have to respect the games that tried to innovate and perfect gameplay mechanics over that. And I say this as a person who was hugely influenced by JRPGS in elementary-middle school.

ZO is a cool movie. The suits like Doras and what ot look really cool. You should check out Shin Kamen Rider since it has a couple US theatrical screenings soon.

Itchy and scratchy mini golf on gameboy is pretty damn fun, but the music gets very old very fast. Luckily you can turn it off.

I had a feeling before watching that sonic 3 would be number 1, that game is absolutely incredible. The platforming was perfected compared to 1 and 2, the graphics are so beautiful and the boss fights are so well done and fun, it just can't be topped. Sonic 3 is better than any 2d Mario game imho.

I'm surprised you didn't have a more positive reaction to Rocket Knight Adventures. My favorite Genesis platformer. Nice responsiveness to the gameplay and comparatively unique/innovative mechanics for the era, just difficult enough to be a bit frustrating without ever becoming infuriating, and well-crafted Disney-esque graphics with a novel approach to the aesthetic. Different strokes, I guess. Aside from that, Comix Zone had great potential but exactly like was mentioned, was just too damn hard. Another platformer I loved that don't remember hearing you mention was Kid Chameleon, which to me was always a lot of fun but also the sort of game that felt like it could have only existed on Sega for some reason. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a try.

YES! I've been waiting for this video lol. Garfield: Caught In The Ace was my Virtual Bart, although I DID get to play Virtual Bart thanks to my neighbor and... i didn't hate it lmao. Garfield isn't anything to write home about either, but it worked for me. Shinobi 3 and Sonic 3 still remain my biased childhood favs. Hard Drivin' will always be the worst game I owned. I still kind of loathe whoever gifted me that for my birthday. X-men 2 Clone Wars was waaay too hard for me, but god it was so good. I also got to play uh.... that x-men/spider-man game thanks to a friend too but I don't remember if I liked it or not. I'm still disappointed I somehow missed the MMPR movie game, because I would've loved that as a child. I just had the fighting game which I played religiously for a couple of years before I finally tossed it in the closet.

The CD versions of Mickey Mania have CD quality music

Batman Genesis is good honestly!

Strider 2 is a great example of what modern 2.5d games SHOULD look like. 3d backgrounds with crisp 2d sprites can look amazing.

Kinda disappointed you guys just telling Comix zone to gtfo because of its difficulty. It can be tricky, but you practice it and beat it, it is really short. I fell the idea, level design, graphics and music deserve the extra effort. I still play it almost every year.

Head scratching 🧐 Why midway didn’t use the damn lock on cart sega used for Sonic and knuckles to make umk3 plug mk3 on top.! In that way they could have left out some characters and stages on umk3 stand alone.. and used the extra space to have all the voices and stages. Then when plugged together u get the complete games 🤔 🤷🏾‍♂️ It would have made way too much sense .!!!!!!..

Excuse you..!! seal song was ever damn where 😂 Where did you live in a hole .! That is the only memorable song from that movie . I agree with a lot of what was said so far . *Mortal Kombat was thee biggest disappointment of my genesis life .!!!! I traded street fighter cce for that strip down pile of turd.! And when I told the guy I want to reverse the trade he had the audacity to hand me mk2 & say he is giving me 2 for 1.😢 terrible trade .!! 😔… probe developing for midway was my most hated momen in the genesis life span . * I could not & cannot stand a one hit kill game 🤬.!!!! And a too difficult game is just no damn fun and 8/16 bit games was just too cheap using difficulty to cover up short none featured games .

I’m sorry I cannot see the fascination with Aladdin.!! 🤷🏾‍♂️ It’s a decent game, pretty gfx & anm.. but it never held me attention too long .. my fault Because I can see why it’s so highly rated .!! I cannot see the fascination with Mickey Mouse games 🤮 I just cannot Strider reminds me of an Atari game.!! I guess u had to be in that hype to know the hype.. Never played it in the arcade & for me it was crude just like altered beast n golden axe.1 felt crude as if genesis was competing with Atari with those games 😂 . Sonic 2 was 🧨 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Just too little levels and the ability to catch a ride on tails should have been realize then . 🤦🏾‍♂️ Echo just kills me-- should have been a great game But the friggin difficulty with no help and the characters should have had speech bubbles
