    Starflight (1991) Sega Genesis port is #1 in my heart.

      More people should know about that. I randomly got it off eBay because I'm collecting for Genesis. I wasn't expecting much, but I ended up spending HOURS on that game.

  • @otakuatarigamer

    Mystic Defender was originally a licensed game in Japan. It was “Kujaku Ou 2: Geneijou”, and it was based off of an anime/manga. They just stripped it of it’s license for the western release. Just thought i’d mention that

      I do not find it clunky at all.!
      It would have been perfect if the two player mode was full split screen n not letter boxes into a corner .
      That game is absolute addiction

    I was totally a latecomer to the Genesis library, I bought the Sega Genesis collection for PSP back in 2008 and got a real kick out of it. My favorites are the Shinobi series (all the games! except for the GBA one which I played when I was even younger), Vectorman, Ristar, Outlander, Streets of Rage 1 and 2, and so on. And of course, I'm a HUGE Sonic fan, basically played every game except for a few of the token crap-tier ones. I even defend a lot of Sonic games that other people take a poop on...I'm a fanboy for sure.

    Mr. Riggs, you never fail to put a smile on my face with your Sega Genesis videos. Ghouls n Ghost, Herzog Zwei, Road Rash and Golden Axe are just a few of the amazing Genesis games I love and have so much nostalgia for. I caught myself watching this video with my mouth hanging open in amazement. Thank you sir

    Mystic Defender's based on the manga Kujaku Ō. The manga was published in 1985, while there's a live action film based on the manga as well, it premiered in 1988. Gordon Liu and Kara Wai are in the film.

      The Kremlin isn't a Russian developer.
      Rocket Knight Adventures isn't a one and done.
      He forgot he did the original Toejam and Earl, and covered it again, while ignoring the sequel.
      This was painful.

    • @juststatedtheobvious9633

    i know someone's already said it before, but Sonic 3D Blast DID come out for Sega Saturn. Why it has totally different music altogether as opposed to just arranged versions of the Genesis tunes is beyond me.

    I remember when I was 6 I went in with my mom to rent a game, I was def watching James Bond Movies. Maybe I was 7 or 8. Walked around I saw James Pond, "In My head I thought" wow its a james bond game paid no attention to the fish, went home played it for one min and as a 6 year old or whatever i did not appreciate James Pond, I did not think there was a James bond game, and was def looking for it.

    I hate to be THAT guy, but you showed the same ToeJam & Earl game twice. 1:35:00 The 2nd one, Panic on Funkatron came out 1993 and was a lot different than the original. I actually prefer the sequel.

    Target Earth (a.k.a Assault Suits Leynos) is pretty good, but not one of my favorites. I prefer its sequel on the SNES, which is Cybernator (known in Japan as Assault Suits Valken).

      @@krisfrederick5001 is absolute right. it is objectively a poorly done game. Its short, uneven difficulty, cheap deaths, enemies can juggle you ( this is before the short acting invincibility became a standard after getting hit in platformers). Its cool for people who played it back then, because it was a pack in game, a lot of people have massive nostalgia.
