Love the format guy. Keep it up.

Have u already done Earthworm Jim?! Did I miss it? If not, DO IT!!!!

Thanks for the video!

Never tried a Spot game. Usually I enjoy isometric games, but looks like this one won't make me fizz. I'll have to try Cool Spot.

I have the Saturn version, and it's sooooo good.

I only played it for a few minutes. Didn't seem like it would be worth my time... 1.6 litres? Holy... I think large here is 0.5 litres.

I had rr2 (panda 900 was my favorite) and then had the game gear version.

It looks difficult in general let alone with the bosses.

I don't think I've seen the Namco intro on Mega Drive before, it looks nice.

gotta be one of the most boring games on the system, but what's exciting is that the 2025 march to 1k is already 25% complete...!

I watched this whole thing and I'm still not entirely sure what it is. Called the score mind. Also that might be your least subtle clue ever.

When I went to Gameshop Twente over a year ago, to get three of my Dreamcasts modded to be able to replace the batteries. I picked up a few games they had in stock too, including this one. I like the concept, but why doesn't it have more options? I played it some against a friend too, which was fun for a little while, but it soon became stale.

I remember this receiving a terrible review score in a British magazine while noting the title’s similarity with the word ‘bollocks’

This is basically Hungry Hungry Hippos with a sci-fi twist. The sports fans in 7586 AD have terrible taste. At least we'll still have Madden then.

It looks pretty bad from here. Also, probably not a popular opinion, but I never cared much for the movies.

This is similar to the last post I made. This game was similar to games that were already existing so it is at an unfair advantage. Of course, as you discussed, it still has its own flaws regardless. Completely unrelated but hurricane Helene made me think of it. I discovered your first video from a game related to my mother. She lived in Bradenton about 15 miles north of the center landfall of Hurricane Milton. I was convinced that storm was going to eliminate them in one fell swoop. But as fate would have it. They didn’t even lose power, even though 85% of the people in their county did.

Even with all the bugs worked out this game still has a disadvantage that it has no control over. As you mentioned, it’s relating in many ways to Castlevania. When you have an original production, whether it be video game TV show song or whatever, which sets a new bar Anything at all similar to it will always be compared to that which can be unfair at times. Of course, as you said, this game has some problems on its own anyway.

probably my favorite intro of yours yet. Z&M: older than the pandemic…since day one, forever™

The 3do version was amazing and by far the best version. It was like a different game

Not that I disliked it but having played sports talk football, the bar was already set for me but the time I played this.

I was thinking legendary wings from NES before the game started and forgotten worlds once it got started. Maybe a cross between the two.

Oh man the ambulance! Good times.

I actually have this US import. Probably because it costs next to nothing there, whilst the EU version is over 10€. Played it once and the game lasted too long, so I got bored and quit.

Is it just me or John Madden on that picture looks like a prop from Troll 2?

Interesting, as a european i indeed had no idea who Madden was before the games. BUT in the british mags i never read much about Montana so i my assumption was Madden was just always the best american football game, at least in the 16bit days. Of course not having much intrest in the sport it is very possible i just read the reviews to quickly or skipped them all together. May try some tecmo superbowl or nfl blitz to see if i can at least get a little intrest in playing the sport digitally (both these have retro achievement support, the madden and montana games do not). Actually did play a bit of madden bitd. Rented madden on my snes and i i even had it on amiga......but just never really got into it...... i do believe both the titles i mentioned (especially blitz, thats basically the nba jam of football games right?) are more arcadey so more change to 'get it'i guess :)

I get that it’s based on an older programming but could they have at least given you a decent kick like in Kung Fu on nes. That weird jump has to be timed right and then can still put you in a bad spot when you come down.

I remember thinking when this game came out that it seemed silly. I just thought it was a generic platform with a James Bond coating. It actually looks to be more involved than I would have thought.

2 star's, for a console game that was close to the arcade version is an insult to all genesis fans, you are a japanese taint licker.

Can you tell me where you found the Ray Gun item? I'll verify it and correct the article. When I wrote the article, I couldn't find it the item anywhere, so I checked all the longplays I could find and didn't see anyone else who found it either (the World of Longplays one even says in the description that he couldn't find the item either). Eventually, I found an "All Secrets" video by a Russian player where he finds the Ray Gun at the beginning of the They Only Live Once level (which is the seventh level). I checked in the same spot in my game, and it wasn't there. Then I had the idea that it was probably removed from the NA version because it's a cartoon character having a gun (they were particularly sensitive about these things before the ratings systems were developed), so I checked if there's a European ROM. There isn't, there's only one ROM for all regions, so I changed my emulator to Europe and went to the same level, and the Ray Gun item is exactly in the same place it was in the Russian player's video. So I concluded that the item was deliberately removed from the North American version. However, it's possible that the item exists somewhere else on the North American version, though I considered this unlikely that it would be odd to go out of their way to remove the item from one spot but not remove it everywhere. But if you found it somewhere else, that would disprove my assumption.

The disregard for what altered beast did, by bringing the arcade to your palms, the large sprite's and parallax scrolling had never been seen before, imagine the wonder people felt. Forshame sir 😠

At last, cosmic justice is fulfilled and Berenstain Bears Camping Adventure is recognized for its excellence. Haha I love that game!

a cartrige with controller ports is wild!

Nice way to wrap it up for the year! I am looking forward to 2025 and thank you for the entertainment you provided throughout 2024.

Happy to hear you are still enjoying making these, as i certainly enjoy watching these! I love your style of laid back reviewing with a little bit of humor in there. While i personally do not have a problem with adding 'modern' retro games in the list. Maybe it would be an idea to split the lists? So best original games and maybe best new games? But then i'd also think it fair to have a per console top 10, or i guess maybe a top 5 or top 3 to keep things more speedy. And then you get A LOT of lists which also does not seem ideal. But i'll check it out no matter what! All the best in 2025! Oh and for shmups, yes the pce does have that rep. But the md is def no slouch, i believe at least 80 entries? Your co-youtuber shmupjunkie has made a few vids on this subjects, one where even the snes gets involved. Because even though some shmups do have slow down, there is still a lot of shmup goodness on that system as well!

Keep up the good work! The only one of the games in your bad pile that I really disagree with is Great Ice Hockey. I had so much fun using the Sports pad with it. I totally got used to how it works.

another great year-end episode. congrats on 900! i was so sure that you’d be reaching 1k right about now, but it’s at least definitely gonna be Q1 2025. and my sense is that it becomes an order of magnitude easier to get people to tune in and subscribe with each decimal point milestone a channel reaches…i’m hoping it proves true for you! 🙏

Keep up good work

Glad i found this channel, I have thoroughly enjoyed every episode so far!

I'm looking forward to the Keio Flying Squadron review! 🤑

Thank you for your hard work. Here's to 2025.

Great video , have a happy new year and keep thoose nice videos coming mr 💪

always bet on your mom’s pot roast

I'm happy that you are liking making your videos. I'm sure this year will have even more viewers. Hope you'll still be the same person you are now when you became rich with youtube's paychecks.

wow, big year for the master system

nice @$$hat easter egg 🪺

🎉🎉🎉

It's not a proper rewards show until Will Smith slaps somebody. Happy New Year! Looking forward to another year of reviews!
