This is a discussion topic video about the fourth generation of videogame consoles. This will be part one of my nine part mini-series. This will be a general video about almost all of the six consoles, the Turbografx 16 (PC Engine), Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) plus Sega CD and 32X, Super Nintendo (Super Famicom), SNK Neo Geo AES, Philips CD-i, and Pioneer LaserActive.
No, that's not an XBox One one guys.
I screamed out of excitement when I saw this in my feed.
Never had a Laseractive although I still have a CLD-95.
Para Soul
Finally! The 16-bit war, as well as the others. And rocking it with that haircut man!
ProjectShadow
Thanks.
5th gen is just the best, such a mystical vibe it had in coherent with the 90's
these sorts of videos are my favorite part of this channel
It was Sinclair behind the Spectrum. Out of all those home computer types (Spectrum, Amiga etc) the only one I ever owned was the Amstrad CPC464+ which had a tape deck and a cartridge slot. I've still got an Amstrad GX4000 and a whole 3 games for it!
If anyone's interested, there's a movie similar to the Pirates of Silicon Valley called Micro Men that looks at the rivalry between Sinclair and the BBC Micro.
The 4th gen was my introduction to gaming in the early/mid nineties too. Like you Adam, the Mega Drive and Dreamcast are my two favourite systems.
I wanted an Amstrad GX4000. Almost got one in the UK when I was there last year. Had the money...just didn't have the luggage space. Le sigh.
I remember you saying in one of your vids. The games are really expensive now. The two I have (not counting the pack-in game Burnin' Rubber) are two of the more common ones, Switch Blade and Pro Tennis Tour. I never see any games out and about, only on eBay.
gojohnniegogo Yeah, can't say that surprises me. It wasn't around long.
Glad you make the 4th gen recap!
Hope you like it.
The Commodore CDTV is as much of a console as the Philips CD-i. You can add a keyboard and a floppy drive and use it as a computer, but they're not needed for normal use.
If you say so. Most people consider it a PC/console hybrid. Though honestly I don't really have enough information on it to positively state either way.
First off, great vid, i am so glad you finally did this, thank you. Second you have an AES but not a Neo Geo CD? that's a reverse of normal
: Shrugs. : Found an AES, never found a CD.
where did you find an AES? those things are hard to find and expensive if you ever do find one
droids75 I'll save that discussion for the video, but it was YEARS ago.
ah ok, looking forward to the vids
droids75
Keep your eyes peeled on mondays and fridays this month.
AdamKoralik when you talk about the Sega Genesis are you going to talk about the "Blast Processing" Sega touted which whether or not it was true, the Genesis's clock speed was 7.67 MHz compared to the SNES's 3.58 MHz.... However, everything else the SNES outperformed the Genesis in. but man... now i wanna go play some classic mario and sonic games, maybe some zelda too.
Great video dude!
Thanks.
Eighth Gen consoles when? Also maybe a one-time video about first gen consoles?
Eighth gen is still active.
@@AdamKoralik Well yeah that makes sense I guess. Except the Wii U, that's not active anymore 😅
@@Mr.Truxton True, but the Switch very much is.
I don't care about SNES or Genesis, all I want to know is if that VHS player can play "Home Alone" caset I have!
I know the SNES console is actually there, but it just looks like it was photoshopped into the shot. Maybe because it's a stark contrast in color compared to the pile of black of the others.
You probably got it a while back but nice haircut man!
i got a mega (sega) cd recently :) , ive never come across a 32x thou
More common in North American than Europe or Australia (guessing you're from one of those).
AdamKoralik england uk B)
WillowAlchemist Yeah, good luck finding 32x in Europe. Even MegaCD can be pain to find, especially model 1 which is pretty much essential if you have Mega Drive 1 which naturally is better than model 2.
MadFinnTech funnily i saw a mega cd 1 when buying the mega cd 2, but it was broken bummer :o
I didn't know the Xbox One was in the 4th gen.
***** That's the Philips CD-i 220.
***** That's the LaserActive, you can tell because the XBOne is a little bigger.
*****
LaserActive on the left, CD-i 220 on the right.
I love how the snes looks badly pasted onto the video
This is why the PS and Xbox are shit. They are not made by true legitimate video game manufactory companies. Since Sega has not made consoles in many years, Nintendo is the best VIDEO GAME company and ALWAYS will be.
Oh i miss this gen so bad. If i think back to that unique smell of a new cartridge and they joyful mechanical "kling" while turning on a SNES... still gives me a weird nerd mind boner.
My favorite generation. My megadrive is on more often than the Xbox one is
+Radigon Yes I have heard of it. Not really a game console, just kind of a child's toy in the end.
This is my favorite generation. Of them Genesis is my number one I sunk an ungodly amount of time playing games like X-Men 2 Clone Wars, Shining Force, Dune Battle For Arrakis and Dungeons and Dragons Warriors of the Eternal Sun among others that were Genesis exclusives.
Turbografx is my number two as my uncle had one and later on a cousin of mine had one so I played a bunch of games back then. Only managed to beat 2: Bonk's Adventure and Military Madness. And played a lot of Dungeons and Dragons Order of the Griffin that plays very much like the Sega one. Then SNES 3rd.
I had a friend down the street who had one and while I loved the rpgs it wasn't my preferred style at that time (except Shadowrun) and the lack of turn based strategy games didn't help and was not a fan of D&D Eye of the Beholder, but I still loved it just the other two a little bit more.
And my God did I, and still do, want a Neo-Geo. I'm jealous looking at it.
Birth years that spent most of their childhood under the 4th generation (3rd birthday to 13th birthday, 8th birthday being the peak)
1982 (3rd/4th gen hybrid)
1983 (w/ 3rd gen underlap) - 5 years 3rd gen (1986-1990), 6 years 4th gen (1990-1995), 2 years 5th gen (1995-1996)
1983 = 1986 - 1996 (peak: 1991)
1984 (peak 4th gen kid) - 4 years 3rd gen (1987-1990), 6 years 4th gen (1990-1995), 3 years 5th gen (1995-1997)
1984 = 1987 - 1997 (peak: 1992)
1985 (peak 4th gen kid) - 3 years 3rd gen (1988-1990), 6 years 4th gen (1990-1995), 4 years 5th gen (1995-1998)
1985 = 1988 - 1998 (peak: 1993)
1986 (w/ 5th gen overlap) - 2 years 3rd gen (1989-1990), 6 years 4th gen (1990-1995), 4 years 5th gen (1995-1999)
1986 = 1989 - 1999 (peak: 1994)
1987 (4th/5th gen hybrid) - 1 year 3rd gen (1990), 6 years 4th gen (1990-1995), 6 years 5th gen (1995-2000)
1987 = 1990 - 2000 (peak: 1995)
US/Canada (1990-1995) = 1982-1987 borns
Europe (1992-1997) = 1983-1988 borns
Nintendo saved the North AMerican market, the European market was different. Yes COmmodore/SInclair/AMstrad went out of business, in the 90s, under the pressure of the Sega/Nintendo invasion. Without that invasion, the big war of the 80s, Atari versus Commodore would have been left alone (Amstrad in the background).
+TheRosswise Funny, you're actually not the first person to say that. Power of contrast huh.
Hey Adam! I started re-watching your channel after several years. It's great to see you in videos. I stopped watching years ago because I was broke at the time and seeing cool retro games I couldn't afford was too much. Now I made it, and I've started a beautiful collection! Thanks for doing what you do! I'm the guy who sent you Dark Souls (X360) and The King of Fighters XI (PS2)!
Yo dude, I remember! Welcome back.
@@AdamKoralik Thanks!
Ah yes, the TurboGrafx 16 teetering on the edge of ruin. Fitting.
+AZARIAH C. Neal You need to enable replies. Plus, yeah, it should be extremely obvious given the subject of the video that I was talking about consoles. I admit, I could have phrased it better. That's why I added an annotation you must have missed.
Another fascinating video Adam. This is probably my favourite generation as well.
The Commodore product you mentioned is called the CDTV. It was essentially an Amiga 500 computer, with a CD ROM drive. It was the forerunner to the CD32 that you covered recently, however it was never marketed as a console, but neither was the Philips CDi.
The Amiga CDTV, and the CDi we are both marketed as home multimedia set-top boxes. It was a market that a lot of companies assumed would be big in the early 90s, basically multimedia encyclopaedias, atlases, videos and study aids. As we know though, the market wasn't quite ready for it.
+Radigon You need to enable replies bud.
And yes, Samsung's weird little box. Came out in like 2000 I think.
+Dominique Newman Yep, I have it.
Out of all the gaming generations, I love the 4th one the best. SNES (also my first console) had Mario, Final Fantasy, while Genesis had Sonic, Phantasy Star. Neo Geo had KoF, and PC Engine had Bonk! The last generation where 2D was the main focus, and the last generation to have console makers (minus Pioneer and Phillips) be about games and games only! Also aside from the two I just mentioned, this was also the last generation where everyone used cartridges! Funny how gens later, I still go back and power on my SNES and Genesis on a almost daily basis!
the first I played was the Sega Genesis and first one I own was the PS1 and my favorites are Streets of Rage 2 Mortal Kombat Street Fighter 2 Special Championship Ranger X Shinobi 3 return of the Ninja Master Contra Hard Cops Double Dragon Battletoads TMNT hyper stone heist Sonic The Hedgehog 1-3 Sonic and Knuckles Sonic 3D Blast Castlevania Bloodlines Shinning Force and Phantasy Star
***** You need to enable replies bud. And the answer to that is...not really. You'll see when I make the video.
Why do they even get disabled? It is a nice feature.
gudenaurock
Either the user disables them, or more likely they're using their Google+ page instead of their TH-cam page to comment.
*****
Yes I am. Wasn't planning on it...but then realized I had a lot to say about them.
Google+ and TH-cam is a mess. It was a real headache to find the way to use a "nickname" for my TH-cam account instead of something with two words, like your real name. I had to create a channel, link it to a Google+ page, then delete that damn Google+ page! Because nooo, it can't be so simple, right?
AdamKoralik I think that nostalgia of gaming was going to be taken one way or another. If it was not Sony or Microsoft then it could have been Commodore, Phillips, or any other company at the time that was not a gaming only company from the grounds up. BTW I love your videos about the seventh, sixth, fifth, and so far the fourth generation of consoles, can you do all the generations of video game consoles?.
YES!! Another recap.
Exactly My thought.
4th gen console wars was like a fair 1 on 1 fist fight without weapons and other cheapshots.
Sega megadrive is my nr 1 console, period.
The games are so damn good.
I have a pretty neat collection and still play them to this day and have a great time.
Looking forward to the other parts!
That SNES looks like you photoshopped it in the picture. It sticks out so much in between all the black.
: Shrugs. :
C64 cassette days where awesome, going out too play cricket to come in an see syntax error? Love the old days.
Hi, I'm new! Will you do one for the 8th generation and then maybe the 9th one?
Probably
Do you consider things like the Power Base Converter for the Genesis or the Super GameBoy for the SNES to be add ons (and do you own either of those....I'd assume you do.))
Yes and no. I could really see either side of that argument. I ended up including them.
love this series, really looking forward to what games you recommend for the Mega Drive.
First console I ever played was the Sega Genesis first one was the PS1 even though I was born in 1996 during the 5th generation the 4th generation is basically what started my gaming career LOL not really career because I don't get paid for this but you know LOL hobby LMAO it's funny I keep rewatching these videos over the years
Found this video when doing a school project related to video games... I think I'm about to fall down the rabbit hole that is your TH-cam channel.
I can already see that you have some great content on your hands, and you're very passionate about what you're talking about! Keep it up! :-)
+Trevor Hubbard Thanks! Good luck with the assignment.
NEC was an eletronics company and sold 10 million consoles and had also awesome games on its console, so your claim isnt 100% true that this generation was only about gaming companies and therefor being better.
My favorite console of all time is the Neo Geo aes by the way.
I think you misunderstood what I said.
I said "if you grew up in the west, then the generation was pretty much defined as the Genesis (Mega Drive) VS the SNES" and that they were game companies.
Man I LOVE THIS GENERATION!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!! We could have stopped there and I would be satisfied by all gaming had reached.
I was born in 2000. Given that in my city, few people knows about consoles and all that stuff, here the cheapest gaming console everybody buy to his sons (in the 2000s) are Family Game consoles (NES clones) and SEGA Genesis clones. I can't imagine how my life would be without knowing them. Even the (pirate) cartridges were cheap!
The 'ZED EX' spectrum was made by Sinclair who later also went out of business. Their downfall is a whole other story. Plus yes I take sides.....Nintendo were better than Sega. ...... unethical yes but better games, better controller.
This is probably my favorite console generation. I gotta be honest, I was like the most annoying Sega fanboy back in the day. But still to this day, I don't know what came over me and bought the SNES instead when it came out. Loved the console, but looking back on it now, I do think the Mega Drive was the close winner. The console that I absolutely idolized though was the Neo Geo AES. It was extremely rare in my country and it seemed more like an urban myth, few people knew about it and I didn't know anyone that had it at that time. I only saw one at a console club (videogame store) on display playing a Fatal Fury game. I grew up in the arcades so this console was like a dream machine for me.
Great job as always Adam. I am looking forward for your next video!
Another fantastic video Adam! Great new look too!
***** Thanks!
I like this generation because the games were phenomenal. Plus I think the SNES is a fricking POWERHOUSE, at least at the time.
i absolutely love this series. It has really helped me get into retro gaming!
Honored.
Adam do you prefer the European SNES design over the North American design?
Yes, but it's useless here. So I use a Super Famicom.
I'm definitely Team Fourth Gen tbh. I lived the first three gens and they were great but when I think of gaming, I think Fourth Gen.
I adore these retrospectives, I've been gaming since the Atari 2600, and you seem extraordinarily knowledgeable about the industry. Your videos are greatly appreciated.
@@AdamKoralik bro review some obscure systems I'm sure you have some hidden gems. I love all your in front of the table style personal reviews, my absolute favorites
@@duff_thatdoodle3041 Didn't I do most of them?
@@AdamKoralik lol you absolutely did do every one I can think of... sorry just love the personal and just approach to those videos. They really just are basic no bullshit great vids
This generation is my favourite generation. I started out with an NES & naturally moved to an SNES in 1994. Friends & family had Genesis, SNES, & even TG16, depending on who. What I liked most about the 4th gen are the polished environments and overall look, as well as even more imaginative gameplay that got going during the 3rd gen. Mario, Sonic (yes I know he came about here, but his games went from pretty nice in 1991 with the 1st one to legendary with Sonic & Knuckles at the end of '94), Final Fantasy, Zelda, Metroid, Mega Man, Castlevania, TMNT, & loads of others were great before, but became truly established household names by this point. Many games in the 3rd gen have a glitchy charm to them that I like nowadays, but that is mainly out of nostalgia. The 4th gen was where quality control really shows.
Something else I liked about this generation was that it was so interesting in that there were CD add-ons that were being pushed due to the multimedia craze that was also going on, like today we have 'Internet of Things' as the latest big buzzword. Everyone wanted in on the action, from Sega to JVC to Philips to Nintendo to Atari to Commodore to Sony to the companies who made 3DOs, everyone wanted to be on that next cutting edge & were hoping their formula was the one for success. Unfortunately, this also likely meant a lot of money lost between companies making all this stuff that didn't really succeed, & consumers whose' wallets were much lighter after buying some of these expensive add-ons or that crazy-expensive 700$ 3DO. I am confused about where this gen end & the next begins due to the timing of the 3DO & Jaguar launches - those came out right as Sega was pushing their Sega CD & their new 32X add-ons, but the PlayStation was over a year away in the USA, possibly 2 years. I think companies learnt from this generation that it is best to just make one console & focus on that.
The Amiga CD32 was the console version of one of their computers, & it probably would fit in best as 4th-gen, given that the games were still 2D for the most part. I believe there existed the CDTV as well, but the CD32 was more of a console than any of their other stuff. Still supported computer component slike their disk drives, etc, though.
I picture this generation like this:
Sega and Nintendo are fist-fighting, while NEC (TurboGrafx/Computer Engine) is throwing rocks. Meanwhile, CD-i and NeoGeo are just watching it all go down.
commodore didn't go bust until 1994, the UK division actually left the company, got bought by a Japanese company in mid/late 1995, and the japanese company then went bankrupt in 1996 and with it basically the Amiga.
Nice Rocko's Modern Life shirt.
Thanks.
Love this series adam! Really would love to see this go through to the 1st Gen!
This generation is a magical generation, it's generation where if you're a kid and own one or both of the main two consoles you would be open to some of the best games ever made, in one side you got your Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country Trilogy, Chrono Trigger, Metal Warriors, Super Star Wars Trilogy, Final Fight Trilogy, King of Dragons, Super Punch-Out!!, Knights of the Round, Wild Guns, Mega Man X Trilogy, Final Fantasy Trilogy, Star Fox, Killer Instinct, etc., then on the other side you got fresh new faces like Rocket Knight Adventures, Sonic the Hedgehog, Vectorman, Ristar, Bonanza Bros., Splatterhouse, Outrun, Phantasy Star, Shining Force, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Shinobi, Warsong, Merc, Strider, Virtua Racing, Eternal Champions, Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, etc. Even games that are based on the same thing are different like Mortal Kombat, Aladdin, Contra, TMNT, Shadowrun, Batman Returns, Shaq Fu, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Castlevania, Sparkster, Home Alone, X-Men, WWF Royal Rumble (SNES had Ric Flair and Mr. Perfect whereas Genesis had Hulk Hogan and Jim Duggan wtf), etc., it's just mind blowing how different and unique both systems are.
Your the MAN so much info.. glad you make these videos! I agree 100% SEGA Genesis by a hair both was great..
looking back, i don't understand the design choices of NOA. the famicom and superfamicom both look more aesthetically pleasing imo. unfortunately, i never got to play much of the genesis. i was basically a Nintendo only person until i got the N64...that's when i realized that Nintendo was not the only game console manufacturer in town. anyways, i look forward to the series.
Love it. First, the ZX Spectrum was made by Sinclair.
Second, I don't totally agree with you on your definition of video game console. The broad definition of it is a device that primarily plays video games and outputs its video signal to a display. You also add that physical media determines that it is a "true" console. Sure, I'm not totally against it; all the major home consoles use cards, cards or discs, but for the 5th gen videos, you included those minor consoles that aren't normally considered 5th gen consoles. Sure, those ones use physical media, but isn't the point to include the minor in general? Maybe that CDTV isn't a true console because it was primarily a computer, not a console. Maybe we could get some videos on the computer gaming side in these series. You could also lump the microconsoles together (highlight a few) because there are so many of them.
Third, or whatever it is now; I'd like to see some handheld game consoles series. (Those still use cartridges).
Last, I like that new haircut.
I can gladly say that I was one of the 1 out of 3 kids who was able to play both the Sega Genesis and the Super NES. Aside from the shitty bullying in school and the overtly transparent attempts by companies guided by focus group studies to appeal to kids by branding themselves as 'kewl', it was a good time to be a kid. If only I could relive that time period.
there you go, normal facial hair bro XD
in europe we had a sega (genesis i believe) but cant remember it much....
after i came to US as a kid we got a ps1 and i was given an snes as well, childhood was pretty decent. Gotta love SMW on snes. Still my favorite mario game of all time, and the hacks.... ohhh the hacks, pretty awesome, even got a REAL sequel to it.
Discussion of connection among generations matches my description of progression in JRPGs. Golden age (snes and ps1) was when creativity exceeded tech. Silver age (ps2) was when tech was on par with tech. Dark/Present age has tech exceeding creativity.
Can you please do 3rd gen? It's my birthday and it would be cool
Kyle Weintraub Happy birthday!
The best innovation were shown by consoles willing to experiment with CD (and not pull out).
Even if I was to only consider sprite based games, the Mega CD pissed on the Snes.
Everyone knows for instance that the best platform game of the generation was Sonic CD.... Nothing Nintendo made in this gen came close.
I've never really played much from this gen. The most I've played is a few games I have for the mega drive and the mega drive compilation disk for the 360. There are probably so many great games I have not played from this gen simply because it was before my time. I mainly want to know more about Nintendo in this gen because I know virtually nothing about what they did in the 4th gen, which is partly to do with me only playing the handheld Nintendo consoles up till the Wii U which was the first Nintendo home console I actually got interested in.
I was amazed while back as a kid how fast Genesis/Mega Drive games were from sprite animations to level design compared to SNES, never owned a Mega Drive, I was an SNES kid myself but I played the Mega Drive games bunch of times in a rental store
Hey Adam. Did you hear about a game called Army Men: Sarge's Heroes on the Dreamcast? (It also came out on the N64, PS1, and PC.)
So true really was imho the golden era for gaming, was always a SEGA kid, SNES still awesome though and i still occasionally put my imported snes on for some full speed f-zero, one of the most amazing looking and sounding 16 bit games ever!
Good vid man. I don't know lots here but I think the games crash was worse in NA than here in the UK. I had a sinclair Speccy and it was a great time for gaming,all through the 80s from what I can remember.
Obviously it was significant that Sega n Nintendo brought consoles out universally but the uk was a hot bed before these guys.
You my friend are criminally underrated! You should have way more subs. Love your vids bro and I also bought a Dreamcast when it launched when I was a kid. Love that system. Still have it too.
I'm only 26 and you make me feel old :(... what a great generation man, Megadrive vs Snes, a classic, here in Spain the war was toooo close, half of my friends had Megadrive and the other the Snes... i was poor and had the NES hahah :(
also a generation 4.5 or 3.5 video with the amstrad gx4000 and the commodore 64gs and the Amiga cdtv, that would be just a fantastic video series.
I think the Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, and Turbo grafx 16 all have their "vibe". The Genesis gives me a feeling metallic soundtracks. The Turbo grafx 16 gives me a feeling of bassy sountracks. The Super Nintendo gives me the feeling of 16 bit music at its finest. There is something about the Sega Genesis's sound that pumps me up because most Genesis games I played sound like metal music. Have you ever played M.U.S.H.A on the Genesis?
In my opinion the fouth gen started the golden age of video games that lasted until the sixth generation. So roughly 1990 to 2005. During that era video games were the undisputed kings of pop culture. Sure video games today are still huge, sales might even be higher. But with the rise of the Internet, social media and so on video games no longer have the same status and other options have emerged. Back then gaming was pure and had a different mystique to it.
4th gen is best gen. Now I shall leave and watch a BluRay on my X1S while playing Breath of the Wild.
still shocked How much a Neo Geo AES goes for still, it like really How much same with the games too. I remember pricing one out, my god so much and to this day I want one still I bit too much.
Hey Adam, I'm a little late to this series since I haven't had any internet for the past month, but I wanna shed some light of the whole European dispute of "Nintendo saved gaming" and what not.
I don't think the discrepancy is about what you're stressing, it's more the "gaming wouldn't be what it is today without Nintendo" cliche and all that jazz being overstated. Since European countries still had a healthy market for video games, the respective retailers and developers weren't really intrigued by Nintendo's exclusivity practices, and it doesn't seem a coincidence that as a result, the NES' impact in said countries wasn't anywhere near as big as what it was in North America and generally played second fiddle to the Master System. Obviously the NES' influence can be seen in a lot of platforms that came after it, but they do perhaps take a lot of undue credit for things that would have been a huge help, market share wise, to damn near anybody, lol.
Anyhow, good stuff nonetheless, I look forward to watching the rest of the 4th gen series.
For some reason the SNES looks CGI-ed in. Probably because you can't see shadows on it.
If only nintendo completed their snes CD addon project and if only they allowed bandai to release their portible snes system,then the 16bit wars would,ve been complete,but since it’s not complete, i cannot consider this as the most exciting golden age era business wise,
I personally consider the 3th 8bit generation as the most and biggest golden age of gaming with lot’s of things happened with lot’s of turning points of changes,
Same with the 6th gen.
Dude makes the best breakdowns in my opinion... shit wish you had more systems to review. I can't get enough
Lol the Great War Sega dose what Nintendon't...the best part about Sega was they allowed blood and fatalities in mortal kombat while Nintendo said no, no blood none of that. Like it's a watered down port on the genises but you got all the great parts that Nintendo didn't have. I miss though's days great times.
The fourth gen summed up three words for me.... STREET FIGHTER 2
Compare sonic 3+ knuckles with donkey Kong country to Mari RPG the legend of Zelda streets of rage such a great time
I agree with you 100% Adam! This was the greatest generation for video games! It was kinda like a Cold War but also a World War at the same time!
Adam, when ever you make these videos i am learning alot about video game history, please make a 3rd generation video!!! :)
Looking forward to the SNES video. You will need to discuss Yoshi's Island - One of the few games in the history of the industry that STILL looks as good today as it did on release.
4th Generation video on my birthday!?
Adam, you shouldn't have!
Well, I know you didn't mean to, but I love these video game generation videos, thanks so much for making them. I'll wait patiently for the whole series so I can thumbs up them all. ^_^
Happy birthday!
The 16-Bit revolution was the dawn of gaming.
*16-BIT FOREVER!*
Damn memories and nostalgia for me getting the sega genesis on chrismas of 1992 it was exciting for me plus my uncle got me an SNES also on the same day i got the genesis so my chrismas was me in my room all night and the games i got was awesome.Super mario world and sonic the hedgehog 1 and 2 and animaniacs.and toejam and earl and toejam and earl 2 panic on funkatron.
Ah the mighty neo geo with games that costed as much as brand new consoles.
Atari did sit out of this gen for home consoles, but they still made the Lynx. A commercial failure, sure, but it was actually powerful enough to compete with the home consoles.
Adam Sega was huge in Europe before Nintendo rolled in. Great video mate
The ZX Spectrum was made by Sinclair Computers, and they are still in buisness :-)
Yeeeeeeees! Its finally here. Sadly 4th gen consoles are not to easy to find in NZ so my main experience is with emulators.
Really enjoy these generation recap series Adam. Your previous ones were brilliant and I'm sure this one will be too.
Can't wait !
This is my favourite generation, In my opinion the two best game developers ever were at their best! So many classic franchises.
Thanks!
you should definitely do a video on the 2nd generation if you own part of the consoles from that generation as I'm pretty sure its very easy to get a hold of the intellvision and collecovision.
Guys,be nice to the cdi.
Its not its fault micro$oft ripped of their design.
I guess you could say the fifth gen was.... A FIGURE IT OUT GENERATION HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I probably had the most fun with this generation then any other, SNES gets my nod as the best of the gen.
