Is it worth buying

I still got Dinosaurs for hire with the rest of my sega stuff! That game was so good.

Blades of Vengeance is a lot of fun! Don’t know why someone would say it’s just a generic hack n slash…who cares?! It’s fun! Great list. I wonder if Jewel Master suffered back in the day because of the cover art. I have seen it around a few times and never grabbed it because of that reason.

Excellent choices. I always get Elemental Master and Jewel Master mixed up, so it's funny that you covered them both.

These look like some pretty solid games here 😊 great video!

Great haul! Some interesting Sega stuff ;)

Elemental master is a fabulous shooter. Technosoft were masters of shoot em ups on the megadrive. They really knew how to bring out the best of the sound chip too.

So, I hop off our Zoom call and what do I do? I get in my bed and watch the newest Poor Man’s video. 😂

Ive been looking into blades of vengeance(who doesn't love babes in barbaric days?). Short games has been my jam lately. I recommend Spin Master on any modern console for 8 bucks! Its a neo geo game that is worth more than my house, lol.

Damn that game looks so freakin sick! The genesis has some awesome looking shooters

I always confuse Dinosaurs For Hire with Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. Excellent picks!

Those look like some fun genesis games! I've never heard of any of them. Thanks for sharing

Please MUSHA gets more than enough love. It's a $500 game loose....

Everyone should play El Viento. 😀👍🎮

i really liked Blades of Vengeance growing up because i viewed it like it was a different take on the same type of concept as Golden Axe, and sadly that's also the reason why I mostly only played it in 2 player mode with my brothers. Let me tell you, the 2 player mode in that game is something that you can either view as a massive challenge or just very much unfinished lol, it has a lot of issues! and so it wasn't until one day when i was the only sibling at home that i finally played it in single player and finally got past the 2nd stage as well as beat the game entirely. solid game. the game that i'd say is the most criminally underappreciated on the Genesis is Cyborg Justice, it was so much fun in both the duel mode and the story mode with so many fun and innovative mechanics, the only downside it had was that the stages in the story mode were mostly just pallette swaps, but it was still a game that provided so many days' worth of fun with my brothers.

Great list indeed. Your subscriber growth is going great. Congratulations

Absolutely excellent choices Joel. I've made it a point to try every Sega Genesis game at least once. Actually prefer shorter games as I'm 43 and don't have countless hours to dedicate to a specific game, with minor exceptions anyway. More of a MAME guy. Hope you had a beautiful Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Elemental Master and Blades of Vengeance are both on my list of games to acquire. Purchased a repro cart and case for MUSHA. Have 1cc'd it several times. Top notch music, game design and graphics. My only knock on MUSHA is that I think the default setting is a bit easy to plow through once have a full weapon upgrade. Need to beat on hard.

Oh man, I've heard really good things about Lunar! Have fun playing and happy hoiidays!

Christmas came early I see , Ho Ho HO !!

Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, NHLPA and Madden '92 (Genesis)..though those EA sports games nearly ruined gaming for me..for years it was basically football and hockey only, most other games were obsolete to me..Borderlands 2 got me back into gaming.

What music is playing at 33:49? Sounds awesome!

I like the new space! That Jaguar collection is always impressive to see.

Great pick ups dude! Love me some Sega Genesis!

Nice video man. I fucking love your room setup. I like how you've got the games going in demo mode while you talk.

Top pickups - lunar silver story is amazing - I have the psp version and love it

Saw the thumbnail with Lunar. Had to follow and say congrats! Had it as a kid but either was traded in or sold. Found it and Lunar 2 at a HBP both fully complete and will forever remain my "holy grail" pickup.

"If you're watching this channel, you don't need that." 😂.

I think you might have to change the channel name to the Middle Class Man's Retro Game Room because of the spicier priced pickups in the video lol. Just having some fun with you Joel.

Joel I miss the days when games were packed with extras like maps, soundtracks and art books. I’m so impressed with the cloth map included with Lunar. Great pick ups my friend!

That was a very nice find on Lunar ❤

Incredible Genesis carts!

May as well start with the overlap... Gun Nac: After getting used to Blazing Lazers, experiencing Gun Nac and its weapon advancement method was like finding your best friends older best friend. Not quite what you came to appreciate, but, you see so much of what you appreciated in them that you can't help but want to spend more time with them. Space Megaforce: This was like finding Blazing Lazers younger, hot sister that won't go out with you, but will take you out for an amazing time on the town. That each weapon has dual firing modes, and that the "screen laser" was turned into a valid weapon (Blazing Lazers major laser weapon had no collision. Merely adding collision in SMF, as well as its toggle mode being homing, made it AMAZING without it feeling like you were using a cheat code like Blazing Lazers screen filling lazer attack had) Empire of Steel: Okay, starting to feel guilty by this one, as I'm not one for shooters normally, but, the presentation with the old-timey cinema flicker during cut scenes, and the choice between two ships (as well as a "shoot left, shoot right" mechanic similar to Side Arms on the TG16/PCE) made it immediately endearing. Castlevania: Rondo of Blood: I felt immediate regret about not playing this in the past (specfically PCE version, not Dracula X,) as before I started playing it, I'd finally figured out how to beat Dracula in the opening, and start with max stats, and immediately after firing up this game, watching the cutscenes in English, playing as Richter in the game that was used as the base game for SotN, ETC, it felt like finding your old comfy blanket in the back of your closet and tossed it on your bed for the first time in years. Contra: Shattered Soldier: This PS2 game shocked me that I hadn't heard of Contra fans talking about it before when I fired it up. It nearly perfectly captured what made Contra special through the 8 and 16 bit era, without the baggage of trying to be special and top down or some tripe. It uses a 3D engine, but you only worry about the 2D space along your character's plane of action. Well worth a shot, I first experienced this when my buddy brought his PS3 over and he had it from the online store.

One game in, and your fresh nostalgia matches up with one of mine. Gun Nac feels like the predecessor to Blazing Lazers, which in turn felt like the predecessor to Space Megaforce. I still remember the day my buddy exposed me to Blazing Lazers, and between that, and G-Darius, something started to finally click in my head for the genre. Trying out Gun Nac was like re-visiting the high school birthday party where I first saw Mortal Kombat (the movie) Edit: Glanced ahead, and had to giggle that #3 also overlapped with me. The amount of immediate regret I had for ignoring the Turrican series before would have crushed me if not for the realization that I had whole new experiences to witness with the series. Same edit, different aspect: (Yeah, you may have the GBA Castlevania games as your prior nostalgia, I haven't gotten that far yet,) I've loved SotN since its release, still have my original disc. If you want a chance for fresh nostalgia for your fresh nostalgia, look into the GBA Castlevania games, more specifically Harmony of Dissonance and Aria of Sorrow. Circle of the Moon is similar, but the systems vary enough that it would be more a side trip

I have to say, I appreciate that they included V-5 on the cartridge, because I really like its Gradius style advancement system. I effectively love that the NA release would be as though Salamander and Gradius were released on the same cart.

That sky shark sounds familiar. Never heard of star Voyager. I'll have to check that out. Nice gifts from your buddy. That was nice of him to send you them. I like to call into the local gaming and porn shops too. Mainly it had been for dvds and blurays, but i bought an og gameboy last week and started buying games and have found a few good ones in our local cex store. Found some good ones on ebay too. Doom fusion! Noice! I never got to play doom on the 32X unfortunately. I have seen some gameplay in the past though.

Sega Lord X is such a great channel. I love his content.

Great pick ups!!

Great setup! A very nice gaming room; cheers 🍻

I love Genesis shooters. My favorite is Eliminate Down, Was considering reserving the Toaplan vol 2 release which incudes Grind Stormer, Twin Cobra and slap fight

Man, it’s awesome to see fellow fans of the Jag! It can be rather lonely loving and collecting for such an obscure and rare system. And the amount of hate the system gets is ridiculous. I doubt the majority of people being negative about it have even touch the controller. I respect people’s opinions and understand if someone genuinely doesn’t care for the system, but most people just parrot AVGN with the same stale talking points without ever actually giving it a chance. That’s why I’m so glad to see more people making more positive content about it. It’s by far my favorite system to collect for (my wallet hurts….) and is an awesome showpiece for people unfamiliar with it. Ive thoroughly enjoyed each of your Jag videos and look forward to any other ones you happen to make in the future!

I haven’t played this one yet and I do dig the genre. I’m assuming this plays fine on an EverDrive, right?

I'm not overly keen on this genre of games either. I'd play some in the arcade every now and then if the other arcade machines were taken, but i wouldn't play these types of games on a console.

Top Game This ☘️

The graphics look great, I’m impressed with the detailed backgrounds. Must is spot on as well.

The arcade version is available on the Astro City Mini V, the alternative V-V game type is available in the options & is my preferred version, it changes the power up system.
