Episode 234 – The Sega Genesis was immensely popular in North America, outselling Nintendo for a while and fully riding the ‘tude era. Nintendo finally had some real competition. There are many fantastic games on the console that a lot of retro game fans these days may have overlooked because they weren’t on a Nintendo system. And that’s primarily what we’re focusing on in this episode, the games that made the Genesis great that you really couldn’t get anywhere else at home.

What are YOUR favorite games for the Genesis / Mega Drive?
unreal editing in this vid
I think ex-ranza belongs here… it seems the least mentioned of the greats
M2 = Gods in gaming…
I love the fact that you put The Sinking Old Sanctuary tune while discussing Castlevania Bloodlines, you couldn't possibly make that specific choice if you didn't love the game, you really know your sh*t.
I often forget how many great games there were on the Genesis. Despite growing up with one. I just wish there were more turn-based RPG's on the system. But Phantasy Star IV is great enough to almost make up for the general lack of em.
One of the reasons I'm proud of being Brazilian is that the Megadrive and Master System are still officially manufactured in Brazil in its original form plus versions that are exclusive to Brazil with games only released there, Street Fighter 2 and Duke Nuken 3D among them.
For all intents and purposes, Sega won the console wars.
I need that Streets of Rage song, it's different from the original but very faithful.
Where did you get it?
wait why are they reviewing the games for the console and not the console itself?
WELCOME TO YOUR DOOM!!
RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE
The Animaniacs video game was only on the Genesis, not on Sega CD or 32X.
(wicked Game Sack theme music)
Seeing this makes me feel so freaking old, I loved Sonic, Road Rash, Ecgo, Streets of Rage , Strider and of course Shinobi. Though Im happy I lived through the development of gaming on Atari, MSX, Commodore 64, Sega, Nintendo up modern day gaming. I was a serious Sega fanboy while my younger brother was a nintendo/pc fanboy, it drove my parents nuts hahaha.
My favorite console of all times. I still have one (model 1). I also bought the Tec Toy rerelease.
I GD love sonic spinball and I'm proud of it. I think it is the best pinball sim of the generation. This includes the TG16 entrants.
Wise fwum your gwave! HAHAHAHA
Are the seventh generation consoles retro now because they are all two generations behind?
Dude! No Golden Axe.
Finally finished landstalker recently. I really loved the diamond dimension system when paired with blast processing
This is my favorite episode
Road Rash 1 for the Mega Drive has one of the BEST video game soundtracks EVER!
Where are the Sega sports games?
I really miss games back from when. The characters were all so whack no matter the genre. You'd have some guy in a tank-top with a red mohawk and sunglasses trying to batter you while walking down the street with a baseball bat. Or the Gothic feel of a lot of games, with demons and creatures that you on't see any more. Back when ninjas still had an air of mystery around them, back when fighting a gargoyle was cool. When the bad guy was a bald old evil wizard. Games now is.. well, Fortnite. OK something else then, consider Assassins Creed Origins, yeah it looks pretty, but it doesn't have the character of a lot of old games, even compared to Altered Beast, it feels tame. Example I like is the games like Heretic, Hexen, Super Ghouls and Ghosts, Splatterhouse, the old Castlevanias, Altered Beast, all with themes you won't see getting made in games now, and if they are, they don't have the same vibes. And the backgrounds, oh lordy they were always so good.
Personal favourites include in no particular order:- Revenge of Shinobi, Gley Lancer, Air Buster, Shadow Dancer, Zombies, Dynamite Duke, Castlevania New Generation, Super Hang-On…
Still the most aesthetic console ever released
Good thing you included Greendog on your list of games, otherwise you would have a lot of angry fans banging on your door!. I mean Greendog still holds up with any of today's modern games!.
All of those 90s game tournaments were fake as f^ck.
Genesis sound so bad compared to Megadrive…
Good thing IMO that the Tengen Port of ThunderForce IV didn't happen. Sucks for the brand with renaming the game, and misspelling it, but if we had a Tengen cart of it, I guarantee you half of those cartridges wouldn't be working any longer. I've got a copy of their port of Grind Stormer and it's the only Genesis cart I've got that doesn't work.
I respect Tengen for what they did to fight against Nintendo's monopolistic policies, but their product quality is kinda ass.
I've got one thing that will increase anyone's opinion of the Sonic series on the MD. Hold down while running down a slope. Trust me, it makes the game that much more fun.
damn, game sack is the back sack
What about comix zonea
Shadow dancer, in my opinion was wayyyyyy better than shinobi, sorry
this is the favorite console of my whole life ❤👍
RPG are the most boring games in the entire world….
The epitome of all classic console, i still playing Sega Genesis in 2020 of the good gameplay and great music like Thunder Force 3, Street Of Rage 2, M.U.S.H.A, Aleste and more!
Great ending!! So many copies of Greendog XD
That sounds effects though
Cumpile….
I love you guys, and I know you don't like it or cover sports games but…man. Sports games were a HUGE part of the Genesis experience. They were the one genre where the Genesis was clearly superior to the SNES. Sports deserved at least a mention!
