At this point, I'm convinced Tyler has enough footage to last until his daughter becomes an adult and she can just take over the channel with footage that Tyler recorded of her growing up. Always love the nostalgic feel of these videos!
It's crazy to think your dad made, you experience such a wonderful childhood growing up and took care of you and your mom, and now that he passed away in a way, he still takes care of you... By giving you content that he recorded that you can use on this platform and help u make a living ❤❤❤❤ What a class act, what a complete badass father you had!!!!
Always have loved this episode, just seeing the amazing games that came out during the early 90's is so awesome. We were so spoiled as gamers from game companies with all the titles being shoveled out year after year. Great episode, Tyler.
@@MyRetroLife by 1993, I already got my first job. I spent most of my first paychecks of gaming and Sega CD was a big deal for me. I loved all the lightgun games it had in its small library. And the gun it used, The Justifier, was such a treat and made you actually feel like a master marksman
It's great seeing this and also Xmas traditions for others. Here in the UK, we just open presents on Xmas day morning, the BIG presents so too speak, then in the afternoon my family would have smaller gifts, though a lot of the time they weren't small lol, but they were from the family. All gifts were wrapped. But seeing a lot of videos on here from gaming channels, they say how the gifts from ''santa'' were never wrapped. Fantastic how one day can be so different for so many.
Man... I love this. Christmas was indeed the best time for getting games, and I felt the excitement of this video to my core. I also saw your message on Twitter about sending you Christmas pictures, and quite literally the only one I know of (but is buried at my mom's somewhere) is of me getting a Game Gear in '93. I was a Nintendo kid through and through, so getting a Sega console was picture worthy!
This video MADE my night. Oh man what a gem, totally takes me back to the magical time of the time traveling hog. I *love* when Tyler gets all meta and finds the meaining-within-the-meaning to our retro memories. I had the pre-order OST too (still have it!) and WOW did I play the piss out of that...I'm sure I broke a laser or 2 playing that every day :) "Santa did what Nintendo Didn't" XD
My parents were not the best around, but they tried and I am grateful for those days, I am glad to see your videos, it brings me nostalgia of days past 😢😢😢
The 90s were something special. people dressed nice in public, music was amazing, movies were amazing. Pop culture was so much better. Sega company made the best consoles and the games still hold up nicely. I like the fact that you don't need the internet to download, just plug in and play. That simple
Sonic cd is one of my best memory. I'm french and I got it around the same time time as you' the music were crazy, I still listen to them today. You have an incredible chance you had all the video games you could wish for ! And you have the video recording this is so wonderful and unique. I love that you share them thanks !
Kids watching today probably don't know how amazing it was to have CD music in a game back then. Myself, I got the US Sonic CD for xmas '93 and then imported the Japan version around 2000 or so.
I have Sonic Chaos for Game Gear too, but it's the Japanese version titled Sonic & Tails. I also have Sonic CD on my phone, Sonic Origins Plus, and it's included on the Genesis Mini 2 which I have (I even own the Japanese Sega Mega Drive 2 Mini)
Something just occurred to me. Growing up we always said we “beat” a game. Then later it was “solving” the game and these days it’s “completing” a game. I use the terms interchangeably but I wonder where these terms came from and why they changed. 🤔
Dude he wasnt spoiled..... it was something his dad and him bonded over, thus his dad enjoyed getting games with him. If he had thrown tantrums over getting a game that would be one thing, but his dad LOVED game hunting with son. Please don't let your jealously get the better of you.
@@TheIonVain I guarantee you 99% of kids that liked video games in these old days received less MUCH less games than this kid did. I was born in 1981. Ya he was very lucky his dad was cool like that. My dad has always hated video games and never set a finger on a controller. He was definitely spoiled and lucky with all those systems and games he got as a kid. I have watched all his videos. A kid can be spoiled but not a brat. There is a term spoiled brat which i just said spoiled, not brat (tantrums)
Na dude just say lucky and not spoiled... he was lucky that things he asked for were given to him by his parents. He was also unlucky to have his parents get a divorce in his formative years.... and to loose his Dad younger then alot of us. He was also an only child which plays alot into him getting more then most of us. I'm sorry dude it's just that spoiled has a negative connotation. Some parents like to spend more on their kids then others.
A few years back, I had a Windows Phone. It was utter junk, however I did get something like $20 to spend on the Microsoft store for apps for it and bought the port of Sonic CD. I think I might be the only person to have beat this game on a Windows phone. It was probably the only good thing about that phone!
Ugh, why couldn't I have been born (or adopted) into a rich family w/ a dad who loves video games? You betches got more games in this video than I owned in my entire childhood. I'm seething.
If there's anything better than a kid playing Sega CD with his trusty dog nestled in right behind him, I haven't seen it. These videos never cease to bring a smile. You're the man tyler
Man I love your videos Tyler....your dad is and will always be a legend to capture all these magical moment in your childhood And teen years thar Christmas looked like such a great family moment that will you cherish forever.....keep up the good work mate big fan from Ireland 🇮🇪
You can tell mom and dad love gaming when there’s separate TVs in the living room for the different systems. Thanks Tyler for sharing these memories with us and I must say you have an awesome family.
I remember Christmas of 93 being on a Saturday. Which to me as a kid, is the best day to have Christmas. Saturday morning cartoons and Christmas presents on the same day??? Doesn't get any better than that. It looks like you had a Christmas that many kids wished they had (especially kid gamers). Opening all of those games and being able to play them without a care in the world sounds like paradise. I remember my family not being able to get gifts in 93 due to money issues sadly. I remember being angry throughout the days leading up to Christmas, but then on Christmas day, my anger was gone. I learned that Christmas was about more than just gifts and just because you didn't get anything that year, doesn't mean it still isn't Christmas. We did get gifts in early January though (ironically that's when we got the Genesis). But yeah, Christmas of 93 taught me a huge lesson and I will always appreciate that. Your 2001 footage reminds me of the Christmas I had in in 2002. I got the GameCube with Sonic Mega Collection that year and my dad saw Sonic being played for the first time. it was a great time. You videos are always an entertaining watch and I like that your videos are more than just about games, but also about family. And it's always good to see a happy father and son relationship.
I swear I will remember the Sonic CD intro, with the "Sonic Boom" intro music. It is one of the catchiest and most timeless pieces of video game music ever written.
Man, I feel you. My mom and I played Sonic 2 when I was a kid and right before she passed too and when we played it a second time we were just laughing at what a poor sport I was when I was just a little kid lol I’m glad there’s a chill sonic game you and your dad enjoyed not only once but twice in a lifetime 👍👍 keep up with the amazing content bro. Means a lot to us too
I swear ppl don't even have cousins or families or Christmas's together anymore.its just sad. The era of those days is gone .I try to make good Christmas's for my kid, but I honestly end up feeling bad cuz it just doesn't feel as magical as I remember my childhood being. And I don't think that's just hyperbole, I honestly believe that.and will be curious in the future to see if he even remembers many childhood moments. All that asde though,This footage feels like a 90s movie.
First time I played Sonic CD was on my phone and I fell in love ever cents and that’s the reason I bought sonic origins and sonic origin plus because it’s it different sonic game instead of just running to the end this game is about exploration and finding the robot generators and the metal sonic projectors This game is just different and that’s why I like it.
1:31 "oh Maddone!" my mom still says that all the time lol. I remember this day, i got TJ&E in NY at the same time. Also Italian family. Italian/Irish to be precise. This was a great year, also had a really crazy snow storm that year.
Wow, through the years of following you and watching these videos, has led me to feel like I knew your Dad. I hope that my two boys, 5 and 8, look back on me with the same sort of love and fondness as you do with your Dad. Gaming has been one of our collective hobbies and areas of bonding. Ive literally had my wife see videos of yours and tell her, I hope for something similar when our boys look back.
What a great mom and dad you have. Blessing you with all these videogames. Thanks for putting these outs! It really takes me back to a simpler time for me!
Your father's story-driven approach to home movies really paid off for these videos, Tyler. I loved how you used Sonic to draw parallels in your life between those two Christmases. Your dad would be proud. Thanks for sharing.
I had sonic cd; either that Xmas or the 1 after (can't remember- im in uk) I had spinball too... very magical time as I learned about parallax scrolling from the level stardust speedway Yup the uk/japan soundtrack is awesome compared to the USA one. No idea why they changed that alas I am glad it exists for at least an alternative play through.
This was wonderful. I love Sonic games and I'm happy that later on Sega released the Sonic Mega and Sonic Gems collections which had Sonic CD and i love It. Cool video. ^_^
This series is so good. These vids take me back to being a kid when the highlights of any gift-reception events were video games. Seems like Christmas of '93 for me was when I got a SNES for bedroom (we already had one in my younger brother's room(whose name is Tyler, and he was a big Sonic fan back then)) and Secret of Mana. Anyways, thank you for the awesome videos!
thank u tyler for this beatiful video, again..so many memories tied to the 16 bit era and christmas...i got sf2 special ce for christmas, that year...the year i received my sega mega drive for my first communion..i own and reviewed japanese sonic cd on my channel... i much prefer it to the usa version
Since I was a kid, I got Sonic CD, but my mom doesn't pay until I grew up playing Sonic CD for PC demo for 22 years and then I play Sonic CD in GENS emulator for my laptop for 10 years.. Sonic the Hedgehog CD is the way pat cool game of 1993 from Mega CD/Sega CD for almost 30 years for my favorite game I played..
It reminds me of my own Atari 2600 haul of 1982. What an amazing Christmas that was. Video cameras we're exactly commonplace in the average American home at that time. Also, there was no way of knowing what games were coming out or if they were even any good. It was always a pig-in-a-poke. That year, I even got the spectacularly awful E.T. that my mom was sure I'd love. This channel has been a wonderful nostalgia trip for me
I'm not sure how I wasn't subscribed on this account... But man 1:03 that Lunar "Fight On!" battle music hit me like a truckkkkk! I love y'all, but that *definitely* bumped you up a notch!🤣🤣🤣 ...now to watch the rest of the video! 😆😅🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man you had an amazing childhood! I never really got Christmas presents as a child and had to hustle to borrow games from friends. I remembering borrowing TMNT and never really owned it. But I like your videos, I really an relate how video games are like a means for time travel. Perfect times during the 90s.
So cool, for me because I didn't have game systems growing up that my Sonic CD first experience was with a Jack in the box drive through, they had it for PC for $10 our PC couldn't play it but year's later my dad got a windows 98 machine and i was finally able to play it
I got Panic on Funkotron and the Sega Menacer the same Christmas, which is essentially 1.5 Toejam and Earl games! I don't think I got a Sega CD until '94 with a lot of saved birthday money, but still one of my favorite consoles!
Man, my dad was a doctor the whole time I was growing up in the 80’s and 90’s and I never even remotely got that many games at once. I was very lucky to get 1 or 2 from mg parents, but games were too expensive of gifts for mg aunts and uncles to buy me. Sheesh! Pretty cool. I do vividly remember first seeing Sonic CD and that opening animation though on my friend’s brother’s Sega CD. I had a SNES, which was my favorite and main console, and I did have a Genesis too, mainly for the first two Sonic games, but really had no interest in a Sega CD. But when I saw Sonic CD? Oh man, it was on. I HAD to get one, and I did. I still listen to that soundtrack occasionally in my car off my phone’s library, I still have the game to play on my (now) old PS3, and I still have a copy of the actual game in its box, even though I no longer have a Sega CD. I think it’s the best Sonic game. Definitely the best music. And it’s a proper side scroller except for the special stage. But the depth with the past, present, good future, and bad future was really cool. The Sega CD has always taken a lot of crap. And I don’t think it was some definitive console or anything. But for the time, I really did like it. Even games I initially despised because I couldn’t figure them out or get past the first level, like Sewer Shark, and put down for months and didn’t play, I eventually picked back up and grew to love. The SNES was always “my” big system that I had through its entire run and had the most things for, and the NES was always the classic 8-bit console and great, but I always did love the Genesis and Sega CD for other reasons. That whole era from NES to Sega CD though was my golden age for video games. Nothing before or after has compared for me.
Man, everyone opening all these awesome games and that poor kid gets Mario is Missing and Plok LOL. What'd he get next year while the others were opening Ocarina of time and final fantasy 7? Probably Superman 64 and a Collectors Edition ET for atari
Gotta know how y'all managed to play imported MEGA-CD stuff, does it just not do region locks? we had the US version back in the day I'll never forget how blown away I was by the anime intro! the soundtrack was pretty great too. everyone asks which region OST you prefer I gotta wonder where you're at? I'm weird I like the US theme and a few of those songs but I think the rest of the JP soundtrack edges it out a little bit. I do have the steam edition which has both definitely the way to go if you don't have a SEGA CD.
Amazing video on this game. One of my favorite classic sonic games next to Sonic 3. Btw do you know if you were able to play that japanese version of Sonic CD on a north american Sega CD? I really want to play it on my model 2 tower of power sometime, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to.
My Mommaw had that same RCA floor model tv that your aunt had in the beginning. That thing was super heavy, never had any issues, and the best part had a rockin sound system built in it!!
I recently found your Channel and I have to tell you I’m absolutely LOVING the content bro, I was born in 1981 and I was a huge gamer in my youth, so this is seriously like reliving my childhood all over again and it’s amazing
wow those games were not cheap back then! people today think those games were all 70 bucks and up. nope. most were 49.99 where i live and im in a major city. many snes games were 49, genesis games were 39-69 which was outrageous, nes games were 19-39. i remember my mom saved up to my surprise and got me a sega cd when it first came out. this was before scalpers and the internet, so, plenty were in stock, hah! but she got me sega cd and sonic cd and i remember the music was great. i wasnt a huge sonic fan, still not, but i liked that sonic, even if just for the music. batman returns was... a warm turd. great music! but it was just the ugly genesis version. my xmas usually netted me 2-3 new games, but heck, that was a lot. when i got a snes back then it was sensory overload. i had zelda 3, gradius 3, un squadron, final fight, sim city.. lol it was nuts. those days are gone now, we wont see days like that again. gaming today has some good hits here and there, but.. they arent like they were 30 years ago. as u said, all WAS right with the world back then. it was different. no internet, no digital nonsense, no smartphones, people had technology but still were cohesive as families.
I understand all the Criticisms with Sonic CD and why to some people it's not considered the best Sonic Game but I think Not many would argue that it is one of the more Memorable titles of the 16-bit games.
Major memories they’re seeing the title card function on those camcorders. My dad loved that function. Lol I just watched a huge video on the Sega Saturn. I never owned it, but after seeing what it was capable of in terms of 2D, I bet that it would’ve slaughtered if it had come out in 1993 rather than CD and 32X. I had a friend who had the tower of power, but seeing as Saturn did all that CD and 32X could do but actually fast, it has me wondering what it would’ve been like if it had come out a couple years earlier.
Moi clairement je les fait 1 millions de fois sonic cd c'est mon sonic préfère en 2d mais j'aime pas les bande son en mode us je trouve qu'elle sont pas ouf et surtout la musique du boss😱😱😱 la version japonaise et européennes c'est ma préfère et il n'y a pas de bande son byzare🙂

Aw❤😊
I❤that!
Yes. If the child doesn’t carry forth the fathers legacy, they must be discarded.

Dude that scene where he playing sonic CD and his dog is behind him it’s a true sight to see
Always have loved this episode, just seeing the amazing games that came out during the early 90's is so awesome. We were so spoiled as gamers from game companies with all the titles being shoveled out year after year. Great episode, Tyler.
I love Mario 3
I love it how the dog is suged right behind you
Miss that dog! Jade was the best
Sega CD is awesome. 👍
It really is!
It was mesmerizing for me when I got it. CD-ROM was a game changer.

Your father will be smiling down on you guys 🙏🏽
This is the best channel IMO!
You guys really were advanced! My family didn’t switch over to CD and DVD until around 2001!
That dog killed me in this video.😂
Your videos always make me sad and happy at the same time ❤
I remember xmas 1992 I got sonic 2, played the heck out of that game xmas eve and xmas day
Another great video Tylor.
These videos always make me emotional because I think bad to my family when I wad a kid but now I'm all alone.
my 2nd/1st favorite sonic game depending on my mood
I am convinced Tyler is on the brink of exploding on TH-cam.
Old games are the best existing time machines next to this tapes. Your father would be very proud of you at this moment.

This series is so good. These vids take me back to being a kid when the highlights of any gift-reception events were video games. Seems like Christmas of '93 for me was when I got a SNES for bedroom (we already had one in my younger brother's room(whose name is Tyler, and he was a big Sonic fan back then)) and Secret of Mana. Anyways, thank you for the awesome videos!
thank u tyler for this beatiful video, again..so many memories tied to the 16 bit era and christmas...i got sf2 special ce for christmas, that year...the year i received my sega mega drive for my first communion..i own and reviewed japanese sonic cd on my channel... i much prefer it to the usa version
your parents were rich!
Since I was a kid, I got Sonic CD, but my mom doesn't pay until I grew up playing Sonic CD for PC demo for 22 years and then I play Sonic CD in GENS emulator for my laptop for 10 years.. Sonic the Hedgehog CD is the way pat cool game of 1993 from Mega CD/Sega CD for almost 30 years for my favorite game I played..
2:04 LOL
It reminds me of my own Atari 2600 haul of 1982. What an amazing Christmas that was. Video cameras we're exactly commonplace in the average American home at that time. Also, there was no way of knowing what games were coming out or if they were even any good. It was always a pig-in-a-poke. That year, I even got the spectacularly awful E.T. that my mom was sure I'd love. This channel has been a wonderful nostalgia trip for me
I'm not sure how I wasn't subscribed on this account... But man 1:03 that Lunar "Fight On!" battle music hit me like a truckkkkk! I love y'all, but that *definitely* bumped you up a notch!🤣🤣🤣
...now to watch the rest of the video! 😆😅🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man you had an amazing childhood! I never really got Christmas presents as a child and had to hustle to borrow games from friends. I remembering borrowing TMNT and never really owned it. But I like your videos, I really an relate how video games are like a means for time travel. Perfect times during the 90s.
I was wondering what happened to this episode, I’m happy that it’s back on youtube.
It was deleted?
@@33Dannyb the original was unfortunately, probably to make way for the extended cut
So cool, for me because I didn't have game systems growing up that my Sonic CD first experience was with a Jack in the box drive through, they had it for PC for $10 our PC couldn't play it but year's later my dad got a windows 98 machine and i was finally able to play it
Thank you for this beautiful Thursday morning Tyler ALL HAIL THE GREAT MARK ESPOSITO
I got Panic on Funkotron and the Sega Menacer the same Christmas, which is essentially 1.5 Toejam and Earl games! I don't think I got a Sega CD until '94 with a lot of saved birthday money, but still one of my favorite consoles!
Takes me back to my childhood nice long video right I'm of to play sonic cd though my copy is on the GameCube ☺️👍
Man, my dad was a doctor the whole time I was growing up in the 80’s and 90’s and I never even remotely got that many games at once. I was very lucky to get 1 or 2 from mg parents, but games were too expensive of gifts for mg aunts and uncles to buy me. Sheesh! Pretty cool. I do vividly remember first seeing Sonic CD and that opening animation though on my friend’s brother’s Sega CD. I had a SNES, which was my favorite and main console, and I did have a Genesis too, mainly for the first two Sonic games, but really had no interest in a Sega CD. But when I saw Sonic CD? Oh man, it was on. I HAD to get one, and I did. I still listen to that soundtrack occasionally in my car off my phone’s library, I still have the game to play on my (now) old PS3, and I still have a copy of the actual game in its box, even though I no longer have a Sega CD. I think it’s the best Sonic game. Definitely the best music. And it’s a proper side scroller except for the special stage. But the depth with the past, present, good future, and bad future was really cool. The Sega CD has always taken a lot of crap. And I don’t think it was some definitive console or anything. But for the time, I really did like it. Even games I initially despised because I couldn’t figure them out or get past the first level, like Sewer Shark, and put down for months and didn’t play, I eventually picked back up and grew to love. The SNES was always “my” big system that I had through its entire run and had the most things for, and the NES was always the classic 8-bit console and great, but I always did love the Genesis and Sega CD for other reasons. That whole era from NES to Sega CD though was my golden age for video games. Nothing before or after has compared for me.
Man, everyone opening all these awesome games and that poor kid gets Mario is Missing and Plok LOL. What'd he get next year while the others were opening Ocarina of time and final fantasy 7? Probably Superman 64 and a Collectors Edition ET for atari
Man I really selfishly hope you're not close to running out of footage, I get so much joy from these its unreal, thank you tyler
Gotta know how y'all managed to play imported MEGA-CD stuff, does it just not do region locks? we had the US version back in the day I'll never forget how blown away I was by the anime intro! the soundtrack was pretty great too. everyone asks which region OST you prefer I gotta wonder where you're at? I'm weird I like the US theme and a few of those songs but I think the rest of the JP soundtrack edges it out a little bit. I do have the steam edition which has both definitely the way to go if you don't have a SEGA CD.
Amazing video on this game. One of my favorite classic sonic games next to Sonic 3. Btw do you know if you were able to play that japanese version of Sonic CD on a north american Sega CD? I really want to play it on my model 2 tower of power sometime, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to.
Sega is the best
My Mommaw had that same RCA floor model tv that your aunt had in the beginning. That thing was super heavy, never had any issues, and the best part had a rockin sound system built in it!!
I recently found your Channel and I have to tell you I’m absolutely LOVING the content bro, I was born in 1981 and I was a huge gamer in my youth, so this is seriously like reliving my childhood all over again and it’s amazing
I love SEGA, I'm a SEGA kid, I played SEGA CD at my friend's house back in the day.
wow those games were not cheap back then! people today think those games were all 70 bucks and up. nope. most were 49.99 where i live and im in a major city. many snes games were 49, genesis games were 39-69 which was outrageous, nes games were 19-39. i remember my mom saved up to my surprise and got me a sega cd when it first came out. this was before scalpers and the internet, so, plenty were in stock, hah! but she got me sega cd and sonic cd and i remember the music was great. i wasnt a huge sonic fan, still not, but i liked that sonic, even if just for the music. batman returns was... a warm turd. great music! but it was just the ugly genesis version. my xmas usually netted me 2-3 new games, but heck, that was a lot. when i got a snes back then it was sensory overload. i had zelda 3, gradius 3, un squadron, final fight, sim city.. lol it was nuts. those days are gone now, we wont see days like that again. gaming today has some good hits here and there, but.. they arent like they were 30 years ago. as u said, all WAS right with the world back then. it was different. no internet, no digital nonsense, no smartphones, people had technology but still were cohesive as families.
I understand all the Criticisms with Sonic CD and why to some people it's not considered the best Sonic Game but I think Not many would argue that it is one of the more Memorable titles of the 16-bit games.
Major memories they’re seeing the title card function on those camcorders. My dad loved that function. Lol
I just watched a huge video on the Sega Saturn. I never owned it, but after seeing what it was capable of in terms of 2D, I bet that it would’ve slaughtered if it had come out in 1993 rather than CD and 32X.
I had a friend who had the tower of power, but seeing as Saturn did all that CD and 32X could do but actually fast, it has me wondering what it would’ve been like if it had come out a couple years earlier.
I need some help deciding if I should buy a PlayStation 1 or a Dreamcast any recommendations on which console I should buy?
WWF Rage in the Cage that's a gem I didn't expect to see on here along with the greatest TMNT game ever Turtles in Time! 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Moi clairement je les fait 1 millions de fois sonic cd c'est mon sonic préfère en 2d mais j'aime pas les bande son en mode us je trouve qu'elle sont pas ouf et surtout la musique du boss😱😱😱 la version japonaise et européennes c'est ma préfère et il n'y a pas de bande son byzare🙂
The good Ole sitting on the floor in front of the Sony Trinatron play video games in the 90s.
Wish I could go back.
Lol empire strikes back...great game but good luck
I had Sonic CD when I was a kid, and if you played that opening while your friends were over you were became 2 cool 4 school.
You open your presents Christmas Eve? Thats weiiiird. It's Christmas Day in the UK
I'm 43. Love Sonic. I wish I could lay down on the floor like that these days. Lol. If I do, after to long my shoulder and sides will get stiff. 😄
