Thank you so much everyone for celebrating the big 100 with us! Glad so many of your are enjoying it! It nice to know all that effort didn't go to waste. I'm also grateful to all the amazing cameos we had! You're all wonderful people. I'm about to be a dad but I'll see you soon!!!
I will reiterate this as many times as needed: Congratulations for hitting that 100 episode milestone! Your tenacity and passion showed throughout and you only got better throughout the years! But more importantly, thank you for providing entertainment for me when I and others needed most in life. I go through a lot of rough patches, but when I feel bad I like to put a random console wars episode just to feel better. In fact that day we got to work together in 2016 was one of the highlights of my youtube career because I enjoyed your work so much! And of course it goes without saying that I appreciate being invited over to this episode as well! Thank you, Dan, Pat, and everyone else who ever contributed to Console Wars, and we'll see you back soon! Much love to you, Sam and the upcoming bundle of joy
I'm so glad Greg was in this at the end. I was hoping that he'd make an appearance. Great video guys. Best one yet. Congrats on 100 videos and raising a glass to 100 more.
Graphics: There may be minor details that give a sight edge with both, but not much. The cutscenes are smoother on the Genesis. The cutscenes alone win it for Sega. Presentation: The placement of the text in the cutscenes and language doesn't give much of an edge. The slowness of the cutscenes on SNES does give Genesis and edge. Sound: SNES songs do sound better than the Genesis. Genesis does have more to hear, though. Genesis is still in the lead. Gameplay: Slowdown is something to expect on SNES. A long time to save on Genesis is always dreadful (if that really happens or if these guys were just making fun of it). The smoothness of the gameplay in Genesis is better overall. Genesis wins this one. Next game is ...... ? Wait, no hint this time?
It's going to really suck not having another episode for some time, but Im happy for you Dan. Be sure to break them in right and start them on retro games!
I had always heard the Genesis version was better, but I got it for my genesis after seeing a friend play it on their Super nintendo and never saw it on the SNES after that. Glad to finally see the breakdown
He kind of brushed aside the 24-second "saving feature" but that's like upgrading from a PS4 to a PS5 if you played on SNES. That long time to wait is no fun and is one of the main advantages cartridges or modern SSDs have. However a worse framerate is more detrimental. This felt like a Digital Foundry episode in the best way lol.
my parents got me this game on layaway, 10$ a week for like 2 months and i played for months and could never beat the final level i cannot wait to watch this ❤️
How many people have said 'WHAT? THAT'S IT! ARE WE DOING THIS?!' and then waited patiently for Pat's response? WELL DONE DAN AND PAT! And CONGRATS DAN on the new Console Warrior! Love this channel. You guys are so fun and goofy! 🖤
Wow, major cameo overload in this one! Always great to see the OG co-host Greg too. I would love to see him come back as co-host for a nostalgic one-off episode. I've heard a few people claim that the SNES is not actually that much slower then the Genesis. The argument is apparently that the CPU was just very different and developers didn't know how to get the most out of it. I really have to question that though, because every time games are compared the SNES version is significantly slower. You can't tell me that not a single developer knew how to get top speed out of the SNES. Even brawlers released later in the SNES' life could only handle 3 enemies on screen without slowdown. Genesis brawlers could have up to 6 or 7 enemies on screen without slowdown.
You guys definitely did not disappoint for the 100th episode. So many great moments! Dan, I gotta say though I love the way you say "Sega Genesis!" while in character. I never get tired of that!
I remember finding this channel like 7 years ago, and im so glad I did!! Congrats on 100 episodes!! This video also made me realize SNES DRUNK never has had a face reveal 😂
@@micktaylor9332 Uh, he did? Well he said 'Have a great rest of your day', which is his usual signoff. Unless perfect is a variation I'm not aware of?
th-cam.com/video/6tVuHLE0HK0/w-d-xo.html here you go, one of his earliest. I guess they wanted to make it clear who he was since he usually doesn't show his face
The 100th episode was too good! Loved seeing all the familiar faces especially Greg! Congratulations, you guys and thank you for so many great memories 😊 Oh and congratulations, Dan!!! You and Sam are gonna be great parents 🩷💙🩷💙
O, yeah. That was MASTERPIECE episode! Thank you for such good work for all this years! Wow-wow. I hope that next episode after this will be about the long-awaited comparison !!! Maybe between Phantasy Star 4 vs Final Fantasy VI? P.S. I really hope that at least someday this comparison will come out...
Happy 100th episode guys! You guys are one of the most undersubbed and underrated channels on TH-cam! Seriously, I've always thought that you guys deserve WAY more subscribers than you currently have, and I still think that. Hopefully more people will realize what a quality channel you guys have eventually and you'll earn the subs that you guys have always deserved! Here's to 100 more episodes!
I just realized I always look forward to and watch these but I don't think I click like usually so I'm gonna go back through and watch them all and make sure i hit like
Quite the flashback...thank you guys for being such an awesome and interesting channel to stay tuned with...since you guys made it to 100 I'll admit something to you, there are only 2 channels talking about retro video games I still regularly watch and I mean EVERYTIME there's a new episode...everyone else is a from time to time thing (you ironically featured alot of them as your cameo guests lol)...but they are the AVGN...and you guys at Console Wars...I am proud to admit that since the first episode I watched (it wasn't Aladdin your ACTUAL first episode) no I recall it was the Animaniacs one...I still crack up when I remeber "or you might be beaten by Royalty!" Anyway enjoy the break you guys have earned it...and I hope fatherhood treats you well, Dan...I only have one friend who is a father, he tells about the experience all the time, the goods and bads but its something he'd never trade for anything in the world...well I rambled enough, peace until we see you guys again!
Well since the makers of flashback said the mega drive version is the best I think this will be an easy win for sega. Loved this game when it first came out and still play it to this day 😊
@@euphoriaentertainmentcompa2605 Are u a Sega fanboy now? 😆 Flashback was a game made for Genesis hardware and after converted to Snes, so It was expected
@@3xperiment8 90's me is a die hard Nontendo fan boy that finally gave 90's Sega the respect they commanded with their later Genesis titles like Shinobi 3, Phantasy Star 4 and whatnot. This was arguably one of the best and most intense generations of gaming! I ended up loving them both equally! ❤ Nontendo only gained an edge in the music/sound department.
@@euphoriaentertainmentcompa2605 Nah. Nintendo had the edge in sound, graphics and gameplay. Only thing Genesis had the edge was in a bigger amount of arcade titles.
@@3xperiment8 For every SNES title that had great graphics and gameplay you could find a Megadrive equivalent. Sound is subjective ( SOR 2 for example has a legendary soundtrack ). Never have two consoles been so equally matched. Proper glory days and the plug and play nature is how things should be with a console
Here's to a 100 more! Obviously you made the correct assessment on Flashback. I think maybe the MCD version with the console cutscenes would be the optimal version.
You are what we need not sure whether we deserve-thank you for all your hard work, in a way I’m glad I’ve only found your channel in 2022 so instead of waiting long for every new episode I can bing-watch all the old ones. It’s The Console War!
Uh-oh! I hope there isn't any baby making in this video..... Are we doing this?!?!? Oh, and conglaturation, Dan! (for the new mouth to feed) And conglaturation to both of you fellas for 100 babies made!
Whoa. I went to jump past the skit and there was almost no skit. I appreciate this. I know y’all try real hard but I told you like a year ago that I almost guarantee you you’re missing a lot of subs not getting to the comparison faster. Get the skits in between the comparisons, great work as always.
Given the recent news about the upcoming baby, "Who pooped in these pants?" could very well be the final line spoken on Console Wars. You know what? I wouldn't have it any other way!
I had Flashback for both the SNES and the Sega Genesis back in the day and always preferred the Genesis version. The music has a darker, ominous feel and, as stated in the video, the cutscenes are butter smooth. That said the Sega CD version has grown on me quite a bit over the years. Also, the remake is meh. Stick to the retro editions. They still rock.
Man! I know I've been heaping praise on your Episodes over and over, but this has got to be your best one yet! I'd even go as far as to say it's your magnum opus! Definitely a worthy way to celebrate hitting that 100th Episode Milestone!!! Coverage of the Game itself was great! Like I said in the comments of the previous Episode, Flashback is one of the Games I've been looking forward to the most. It's one of those games I've wanted to play through, or at least watch a full playthrough of for ages, but I never got around to doing either. I did watch a playthrough of the Flashback demo for PC, covering the entire 1st Level. Thanks for showing off what Flashback has to offer in such great detail! I guess you could say that the Plot, with all the Sketches was the real star of today's Episode, rather than the Game itself. Oh boy! You've really outdone yourselves in the Plot and Sketches department! I guess I was expecting you to put in everything you got for Plot and Sketches since you're celebrating 100 Episodes, but man, this Episode has got to have the best Plot and Sketches for this Show ever! When I saw there were still about 10 minutes left when you finished the Review, I just knew you had something amazing and epic coming up. You did not disappoint there! Loved the callbacks, which certainly made me feel glad I'd seen every single Episode of Console Wars from beginning to end! Oh, and I still love the ways you find to reuse characters and costumes from past Episodes! Seeing Earthworm Jim on this Show never gets old! I also loved the Guest Appearances at the end, even though I'm not familiar with most of the Guests. I guess I liked SnesDrunk's cameo best, since he's the Guest whose stuff I've seen the most of! Oh, and Greg's cameo was great too! Oh, and that ending! Gosh, that was an excellent way to end your 100th Episode! I did see your video giving us the news of the new baby, so I think this Episode's ending was a fine way to prepare us for should be a long wait for the next Episode! Don't worry, I'm sure it'll be worth it. Phew! That's got to be my longest Comment I've posted here ever! One of my longest, at least! However, it sure felt worth the effort thinking it up and typing it out for this Episode! CONGRATULATIONS ON 100 EPISODES!!!!!!!! Here's to many more!!!
What can you expect. The Mega Drive was far ahead of it's time and despite being older than the SNES it was actually superior if you knew how to program it. The Blast Processing that many claimed it to have is actually real and it refers to the much faster CPU which made it's games playable and also helped the console produce better 3d graphics and 3d characters in 2d games.
Thank you for 100 episodes of this series. It is great to see the difference between the two consoles when it comes to talking about the same game. Best of luck to you both on future consoles wars games.
Hi guys! Really warms my little French heart that you choose a Delphine Software's game for your 100th episode, moreover one I spent hours on MS DOS. Keep the good vids flowing, but Dan don't forget to spend some good time with you upcomming baby!
When I was young I used to always think that if there was game for SNES and Genesis the SNES version was always better. I'm starting to see that was wrong about that.
Man, 100 episodes. Thank you for so many good times... the writing was on point for this one; I enjoyed the choice of Flashback for the retrospective episode, and you did the usual amazing(ly campy) job of tying the plot together. It was good to see Greg, too. He looks healthy, and I hope he's in a great place in life. Whether there are more Console Wars to come or this is a farewell to arms, I wish you guys all the best.
Missed one form of the censorship: The reason the guards and the contestors in the Death/Cyber Tower level on SNES wore helmets was censorship, too. To make them look less like humans. All the other ports are uncensored. Jaguar has the smoothest framerate, but only the MS-DOS port has extended cinematics.
Just for fun, I gave some thought as to what you guys could do for milestone episodes such as this one, and I remembered what a shame it was that Dave had to leave Gamesack. They had the Sega vs Nintendo rivalry gimmick similar to you guys and a crossover special with both your channels seems like it would've been a no-brainer. Congrats on 100 episodes and cheers to 100 more! 🥂
Congratulations on 100th Console wars episodes and very good chapter. What a great game the flashback is for both consoles. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷 and
Woooo! Episode 100! 🎉 And an appearance from Greg to boot! Never played Flashback myself but seems like something I should pick up especially since it doesn’t seem too expensive. I know Dan is taking time away to adjust to being a new dad and, by all means, take as much time as you need but I still can hardly wait for the day we see Console Wars episode 101.
Congratulations On Getting To Episode 100!!! Hopefully at some time you can release a collection or collections. Thank you for a great show and all the best for the future 🙂👍
@@ConsoleWars I need to rewatch Seinfeld myself. When I was working at a casino, they were playing Seinfeld almost every night because they had it tuned to TBS. So I must've watched nearly the entire series.
I don’t know what kind of ancient Japanese medicine you guys are on, but you guys are ageing amazingly, you look the same as you did eight years ago! Rock on guys great episode
This channel aged like fine wine, the quality and entertainment just keep coming and every episode is better than the last. Heres to another 100 episodes, when the channel will have the millions of subs it deserves.
Hey, Console Wars. Congratulations on your 100th episode. Now, I got a request for you guys for a potential video you should do. Request: Wolverine: Adamantium Rage - Super Nintendo vs. Sega Genesis
I played the snot out of this Genesis game back in high school. Loved it! I never got too far in Out of This World, but I played this game all the way through many times. I knew the Genesis was gonna come out ahead on this one.
That was an amazing episode! Love all the fan service and cameos, definitely put a big smile on my face. And the ending absolutely nailed it for sure. Here's hoping to another 100 episodes.
ONE HUNDRED EPISODES! YOU FINALLY DID IT!! Was worth the wait and am proud to have been part of the journey since the very beginning!!! Looking forward to what the future has in store; but until then, take a nice long deserved break!!!! Also... GREG :D
I love the episode! I would love you guys do a remake of Streets of Rage 3 vs Final Fight 3 using Bare Knuckle 3 instead, i would to see some sketch of you guys dressed as some SOR chars! Like handsome pat as Dr Zan 😂Your sketchs are my favorite part of the vídeos 😄
Thank you so much everyone for celebrating the big 100 with us!
Glad so many of your are enjoying it! It nice to know all that effort didn't go to waste.
I'm also grateful to all the amazing cameos we had! You're all wonderful people.
I'm about to be a dad but I'll see you soon!!!
Congratulations on the addition to your family! That was an amazing 100th episode!
the one game that made me think, we havent innovate enough on cinematic platfromers
Congratulations, Dan! 🎉🎉🎉 We hope to see you soon!
I still wait Phantasy star IV vs Final Fantasy VI. WAIT.
You'll be a dad? Congratulations, Dan 😁
Maybe your son, or daughter, also gonna be a SEGA gamer 😉
Again, Congratulations on not only releasing the 100th episode, but also congrats to Dan and his wife for having a baby! 💖
Thank you!
Congratulations bro
So great seeing Greg again!
Wish he reprised his role having his own Flashback
I spent the whole episode waiting for when we’d see him! (Just assumed he had to be in this one haha)
As a Sega kid growing up, I’m happy it won episode 100. Congrats again for making it this far, guys. And good luck with your baby, Dan.
No wonder you weren’t sure if you would actually finish this episode! What a huge undertaking!
Yeah. Def a lot of work lol
@Console Wars It was worth it, thank you!!
I LOVED Flashback on the Genesis, and eventually got the Sega CD version. It felt so immersive. Thanks for the entertainment, guys!
I will reiterate this as many times as needed:
Congratulations for hitting that 100 episode milestone! Your tenacity and passion showed throughout and you only got better throughout the years!
But more importantly, thank you for providing entertainment for me when I and others needed most in life. I go through a lot of rough patches, but when I feel bad I like to put a random console wars episode just to feel better. In fact that day we got to work together in 2016 was one of the highlights of my youtube career because I enjoyed your work so much! And of course it goes without saying that I appreciate being invited over to this episode as well!
Thank you, Dan, Pat, and everyone else who ever contributed to Console Wars, and we'll see you back soon! Much love to you, Sam and the upcoming bundle of joy
Thank you for your excellent contribution to this episode!
I'm so glad Greg was in this at the end. I was hoping that he'd make an appearance. Great video guys. Best one yet. Congrats on 100 videos and raising a glass to 100 more.
one of the very best game of the early nineties for the 100th Episode! Can't miss. I actually played it on Amiga 500 back in the time.
Graphics: There may be minor details that give a sight edge with both, but not much. The cutscenes are smoother on the Genesis. The cutscenes alone win it for Sega.
Presentation: The placement of the text in the cutscenes and language doesn't give much of an edge. The slowness of the cutscenes on SNES does give Genesis and edge.
Sound: SNES songs do sound better than the Genesis. Genesis does have more to hear, though. Genesis is still in the lead.
Gameplay: Slowdown is something to expect on SNES. A long time to save on Genesis is always dreadful (if that really happens or if these guys were just making fun of it). The smoothness of the gameplay in Genesis is better overall.
Genesis wins this one.
Next game is ...... ? Wait, no hint this time?
After 100 episodes that theme song still hits hard.
It's going to really suck not having another episode for some time, but Im happy for you Dan. Be sure to break them in right and start them on retro games!
Did not expect a complete beat down. Congrats on the 100th episode.
I had always heard the Genesis version was better, but I got it for my genesis after seeing a friend play it on their Super nintendo and never saw it on the SNES after that. Glad to finally see the breakdown

This felt like a Digital Foundry episode in the best way lol.
I did. I have both and the Mega Drive version outshines the Snes is every department.
It is a Sega Genesis game.
Ah this one is easy! Best Flashback game goes to SEGAAA Genesis!
Lol nicely done.
100 episodes. Joined right around when Greg left. Glad the show continued since then. You guys are awesome
Congratulations guys! 100 episodes! Hope there will be a Lot more! Wish you all the best!!
The amount of detail you guys put into every single episode is astonishing.
my parents got me this game on layaway, 10$ a week for like 2 months and i played for months and could never beat the final level
i cannot wait to watch this ❤️
I'm glad to see Greg participating on this also. That was quite the treat. I wish him well. :)
Congrats on the milestone! Keep up the good work!
How many people have said 'WHAT? THAT'S IT! ARE WE DOING THIS?!' and then waited patiently for Pat's response? WELL DONE DAN AND PAT! And CONGRATS DAN on the new Console Warrior! Love this channel. You guys are so fun and goofy! 🖤

Thank you!
Finally got around to watching this completely! Such a great episode man. One of my Dad’s favorite games. Thanks for including me
Thanks for My Retro Bread!
O, yeah. That was MASTERPIECE episode! Thank you for such good work for all this years!
Wow-wow. I hope that next episode after this will be about the long-awaited comparison !!! Maybe between Phantasy Star 4 vs Final Fantasy VI?
P.S. I really hope that at least someday this comparison will come out...
Absolutely agree! It's been a more than 8 years waiting...
Love the cooperation between fellow youtubers, congratulations on the 100th episode...
Long live Console Wars! Thanks Dan, Pat, Greg and everyone. Salute!
I like how they always have the game in their hands what they randomly talk about. Real gamers!
This 100th is better than AVGN's 200th
That person is so foul mouthed, I cannot watch his channel in front of my kids
True dat
Main reason the SNES version suffered is because this game was developed for the Genesis/Mega Drive then ported over :D
First minute and already feeling the celebration vibes with a slight tear in my eye. Congrats on 100 amazing videos and beyond!
Congrats! Greetings from Finland. You are like real friends to me that I never had in my immediate, physical environment.
Happy 100th episode guys! You guys are one of the most undersubbed and underrated channels on TH-cam! Seriously, I've always thought that you guys deserve WAY more subscribers than you currently have, and I still think that.

Well since the makers of flashback said the mega drive version is the best I think this will be an easy win for sega.
Loved this game when it first came out and still play it to this day 😊

Thank you for that excellent cameo!

Are we doing this?!?!?
Oh, and conglaturation, Dan! (for the new mouth to feed)
And conglaturation to both of you fellas for 100 babies made!
Just discovered this channel thanks to Game Sack. I’m an instant fan!
Awesome. Welcome to the channel
Nice throwback to episode 99. Congrats in your 100th episode!!!
ROTFL the ending. Nobody would help you hide from the FBI.
One of the best episodes to date. Congrats and heres to another 100 more!! 🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations! 💯
The ending was amazing! 😱

The Blast Processing that many claimed it to have is actually real and it refers to the much faster CPU which made it's games playable and also helped the console produce better 3d graphics and 3d characters in 2d games.
It was also much easier to program for.
@@DanVzare That is true. Even to this day there are 10 times more indie Mega Drive homebrews than Snes
The music in Flashback is some of the best of all 16 bit gaming. I agree with all of the points listed here.
I was expecting this...both your 100 episode and one about Flashback...one of my favorite games ever! Congratulations for your excellent channel!
This video should have gone like this:
Dan: "Flashback was such a great game on the Sega Genesis."
Pat: " *silence* "
Thank you for 100 episodes of this series. It is great to see the difference between the two consoles when it comes to talking about the same game. Best of luck to you both on future consoles wars games.
Sega CD has a full music soundtrack that is great. Definitely THE way to play it on console.
Hi guys! Really warms my little French heart that you choose a Delphine Software's game for your 100th episode, moreover one I spent hours on MS DOS.
Keep the good vids flowing, but Dan don't forget to spend some good time with you upcomming baby!
Great job, guys! Congrats on the 100th episode!
Kudos! Great episode - has been awesome watching the show throughout these 100 episodes!
When I was young I used to always think that if there was game for SNES and Genesis the SNES version was always better. I'm starting to see that was wrong about that.
Man, 100 episodes. Thank you for so many good times... the writing was on point for this one; I enjoyed the choice of Flashback for the retrospective episode, and you did the usual amazing(ly campy) job of tying the plot together. It was good to see Greg, too. He looks healthy, and I hope he's in a great place in life. Whether there are more Console Wars to come or this is a farewell to arms, I wish you guys all the best.
Congratulations for 100 episodes! Here's looking at another 100, 1000, 100 000 episodes!
Episode 101 will be "The absolute nothingness". Talk about a deep game (better on TG16 though)
Missed one form of the censorship:
The reason the guards and the contestors in the Death/Cyber Tower level on SNES wore helmets was censorship, too. To make them look less like humans.
All the other ports are uncensored. Jaguar has the smoothest framerate, but only the MS-DOS port has extended cinematics.
Oh interesting
I prefer the genesis for the majority of cross platform games. Something about it that I love so much more than the snes.
Just for fun, I gave some thought as to what you guys could do for milestone episodes such as this one, and I remembered what a shame it was that Dave had to leave Gamesack. They had the Sega vs Nintendo rivalry gimmick similar to you guys and a crossover special with both your channels seems like it would've been a no-brainer.
Congrats on 100 episodes and cheers to 100 more! 🥂
Congratulations on 100th Console wars episodes and very good chapter. What a great game the flashback is for both consoles. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷 and
Woooo! Episode 100! 🎉 And an appearance from Greg to boot! Never played Flashback myself but seems like something I should pick up especially since it doesn’t seem too expensive.
I know Dan is taking time away to adjust to being a new dad and, by all means, take as much time as you need but I still can hardly wait for the day we see Console Wars episode 101.
Congratulations On Getting To Episode 100!!! Hopefully at some time you can release a collection or collections. Thank you for a great show and all the best for the future 🙂👍
The red shirt on the SNES version allows the main character to double as Jack Slater. Checkmate.
Damn youre right!
My Life In Gaming: Well, we can’t let you stay here, but we can give you advice on how to get the best picture out of your mug shot. Hello?
Congrats on 100 episodes but more importantly congrats on the new baby!!!
Love your show! Congratulations on episode 100!!
Love the Seinfeld reference! Best series finale ever!
_...And then, they all went to jail! The end!_
And I've been rewatching Seinfeld because of that scene
@@ConsoleWars I need to rewatch Seinfeld myself. When I was working at a casino, they were playing Seinfeld almost every night because they had it tuned to TBS. So I must've watched nearly the entire series.
Discovered this show last year during a really tough time. Here's to 100 episodes and 100 more. THIS IS CONSOLE WARS!!!!!!!;;
Glad you found us. I hope we helped
I don’t know what kind of ancient Japanese medicine you guys are on, but you guys are ageing amazingly, you look the same as you did eight years ago! Rock on guys great episode
This channel aged like fine wine, the quality and entertainment just keep coming and every episode is better than the last. Heres to another 100 episodes, when the channel will have the millions of subs it deserves.
Thank you!
Great video!! I always remember this game on the shelves at the store but I never got to play it.
Hey, Console Wars. Congratulations on your 100th episode. Now, I got a request for you guys for a potential video you should do.
Request:
Wolverine: Adamantium Rage - Super Nintendo vs. Sega Genesis
Which one's worse?
NES vs MASTER SYSTEM - Rampage
I'll even donate the games if need be, though they should be easy to find.
an easy win for Master System for including Ralph and 2-player mode
A hundred episodes! Here's to a hundred more! 🎉
I played the snot out of this Genesis game back in high school. Loved it! I never got too far in Out of This World, but I played this game all the way through many times. I knew the Genesis was gonna come out ahead on this one.
100th episode… that’s amazing!
Congratulations on 100 Episodes! Have a great break and hope your child is healthy and happy.
That was an amazing episode! Love all the fan service and cameos, definitely put a big smile on my face. And the ending absolutely nailed it for sure. Here's hoping to another 100 episodes.
Thanks!
Congrats on 100 Episodes guys!
Congratulations to make one hundred wars with so much love and creativity!
I love you!
congrats guys for the 100th episode. Flashback is like, if Demotion Man meet Prince of Persia. One of my top 5 16 bit games... FOR THE SEGA GENESIS!
Grats on the 100th episode! Nice to see Greg and Adam!
ONE HUNDRED EPISODES! YOU FINALLY DID IT!!
Was worth the wait and am proud to have been part of the journey since the very beginning!!!
Looking forward to what the future has in store; but until then, take a nice long deserved break!!!!
Also... GREG :D
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congratulations on 100 episodes. Great call back to past episodes, great breakdown on both versions Flashbacks, just great all around. Kudos!
I love the episode! I would love you guys do a remake of Streets of Rage 3 vs Final Fight 3 using Bare Knuckle 3 instead, i would to see some sketch of you guys dressed as some SOR chars! Like handsome pat as Dr Zan 😂Your sketchs are my favorite part of the vídeos 😄
Loved the cameos, Congratz.
This one might tie with Light guns for my favorite episode!
