I wish TH-cam would fix their poor compression. There should be green stripes on the ground in the first stage in Super Thunderblade. Instead it looks solid green.
AnonymusHippopotamus I know the phones get a different version of the codec so that probably explains that. TheOne Jat Yes I see the stripes in Windows Chrome as well! Windows Firefox does not show them. Chrome on Mac does not show the stripes even after updating.
Man, I thank you for this channel. Even though I can't relate to most of the games you played, as I'm only 20 years old, I love your content. In every video you show your love of gaming in a way that is amazing. Keep making it, it's great. Also, you should totally play Portal 1 and 2. They are short, and they did to me what the games you love the most did to you.
If I remember correctly, the yellow "label" on Budokan was an Electronic Arts thing. I remember owning a couple of other games that were made like that. I can't remember them off the top of my head, sadly.
I hate not having a collection like you Johnny! I'm 30 so I'm still young but I've always traded in games because I've always been broke and depressed and buying that next new game always made me smile. But I've been a die hard fan of yours for a couple years and you've inspired me so much to collect and every video of yours means a lot to me and my collection is leveling up and it's all thanks to you man thank you for being inspiring and being so positive! Maybe you'll read this lol
yung danger : Yeah , at least that's why I tried so hard to like the games you spend your hard earned cash on. You really want to get your moneys worth of entertaiment.
Thx John ! I REALLY enjoyed the nostalgia you woke up in me with this episode. Even though it's about games we hate , the memories of friends and gamenights it brings out , are so much fun to remember.
Budokan was the game I bought with my genesis. I too thought it would "change my life." It changed my life alright. I had to go to therapy after 1 month with this thing. Depressing game. Recently tried to replay it again to see if it was truly that bad and yes it was
I loved double dungeons. My sister had a TG16 w/ Double Dungeons and it was a great way for us to hang out, and play games together co-op. Have you ever played DD two players?
I know, its kind of funny cause it feels like you have to reset your playthrough on that game to transfer over your points just to make it feel somewhat normal...took me forever to beat that game when it was new & not gonig back to it, love BoF 1, 2, 4 though haha
I had Budokan on the Amiga 500, played the hell out of it. It's hard to communicate in the video, but unless you've played it you don't realise how confusing the controls actually are. That said, it didn't matter how good you got at it, when you entered the tournament at the Budokan your opponents would eventually have weapons that you couldn't train with and annihilate you. Still sunk hours into it though.
I got a couple games that were frustrating for SNES D- Force the only controls you used: forward, back, left, right, shoot, the power ups didn't help much, enemies kept coming, and a boss at the end of each stage
Back to the Future: Parts II + III for NES comes to mind. I really don't feel like it's a terrible game (I actually kind of enjoyed it as a kid), but it makes zero sense and is so bizarre. It confused me so much, but I'd still go back to try and figure it out - only to get totally confounded all over again. Still haven't worked up the courage to revisit it.
I love Super Thunder Blade to bits.. but I know what you mean! It's kind of hypnotic in a way.. Was that some random Power Drift music in the background?
Only channel on TH-cam where the host admits to receiving stolen good, playing stolen goods. LOL I cracked up laughing when you mentioned that "the store accidentally left it in the box!!!"
With regards to Kid Niki, finding ALL the secret rooms was a challenge, when i was a kid i thought i had found them all, but had missed 2 or 3, found out in later years. There is one still in the USA version that would be accessible if you had the famicom controller in port 2 with the microphone in it, but since no USA controllers had the microphone, it was basically inaccessible content... unless... a button on controller 2 can substitute for the microphone? Now I am compelled to check...
I see you have both lunar games on your shelf.. I havent played lunar 2 but ive played and beaten multiple versions of lunar a silver star story and i absolutely love the game.
Gotta say, I had Ikari warriors 2 as a kid as well, completely forgot about it until this video. Brought back a flood of memories about it, great to see I wasn't the only one frustrated as hell with it.
I have a idea/request for an episode (don't know how to call it :b) Today it is like the world is a small village, also in the gamer-world. But it would be cool to hear what it was like for you, to see the first time that consoles in other regions looked completely different, when you heard that they have in Japan a new console that is still not available here, etc.... would be also nice to hear which versions looks best for you ;)
Back to the Future part III was one of the games I picked up when I got my Megadrive/Genesis. This decision was purely made by my love of the film franchise and boy did I learn my lesson after playing it!
I remember sitting here, watching a guy talk about videos he doesn't like in a fond, nostalgic manner. Then I got bored and clicked the TH-cam logo. Great vid, man, but my ADHD was just going, .oO(Let's watch something else.) I hung in there a while longer, it goes, .oO(Come oooooooooooonnnnnnn!)
Back in the days I think it was really the game art on the front of the games that trick gamers. As a gamer myself my expectations was to high when I look at some game art at the local game store until I pop it into console and was piss from the graphics and knew that I've been had for my money. Contra force and Bad dudes for the nes for example has great game art on the front of the cart until you play it and realize you have deceived out your money.
Super Thunder Blade does kind of suck. It might have been impressive back in the day but nowadays it's just a janky mess. The sprite scaling on the enemy bullets is so jittery that it's hard to tell how far they are away from you.
The "guilty game" thing just happened to me: back in the day I loved the graphics of Demon's Crest, but sucked so bad at playing it that I got frustrated and labeled it as a terrible game. But in the past couple of days I rediscovered it and my opinion totally changed. Now I think its a great piece of software, still a hard game (but that's a good thing now) and I'm just fascinated with it.
Beauty and the Beast on SNES.... fuck me, that game is pure torture! It's not really bad as in badly made, but brutal and unforgiven. Lion King for SNES is a close second and Jungle Book SNES also a royal pain. Were these Disney games for kids?
I was frustrated with the master system version of Thunder Blade ... that was the first disappointment on renting a cartridge that's I can remember ... I was 5 at the time I guess ... I still try to like it to this day , cause I used to go to the mall and there it was the magnificent Arcade ...
Thunder Blade isn't 1st person, it's 3rd person and it's pseudo-3D I haven't played the Genesis version, but I have played the PC engine version which is allright...
I think Dr. Chaos on NES is my #1 most hated game. I'm aware that this game has some defenders and I've certainly played much worse... But I had been saving up money from cutting grass and other random chores around the neighborhood for a couple of months and picked this game to spend my earnings on from the cover (lesson learned there) making me think that it was going to be like Castlevania. I tried to like this game for a week and just could not get into it at all and I'll never forget what a bummer that was, feeling like all those miserable days cutting grass had gone to waste.
As kids, I remember going to the local video rental store with my best friend. We had a couple bucks each so we pooled our money to rent a Genesis. We were so excited to play a 2 player fighting game with huge next gen sprites... we rented Budokan. What a piece of crap. 26 years later, I still want my $1.75 back. Like I'm actually furious thinking about it I've tried so hard to repress this memory. Johnny, please never talk about Budokan ever again.
Budokan is a great game, after you understand the concept and get some practice. I never finished it, but, I remember I got pretty far on that. *tip: you can beat a lot of opponents in early stages with the karate guy. ;)
I remember getting Action Fighter for the Master System one christmas. It was a vertical scrolling shmup where you start on a bike which turns into a car and then a flying car, and it's absolute shite. This was back in the days where, due to having a kid's income, you got a game and you played it for months to get the most out of it. I finished the game within an hour and I was done with it by Boxing Day.
populous on the sega master system, traded it for a game that didnt work when i bought it, and the man in the store said not to by it, i was too young to know how to play, i didnt listen and got it. What a mistake. its terrible and i didnt understand how to play it.
I feel the same about Super Thunder Blade. I like the music, but the animation is so choppy that it messes with the gameplay, and many deaths are cheap because you can't see them coming in enough time to move.
Cliffhanger on the Sega Genesis still brings back frustrated memories for me. I wanted to like that game so much as a kid, but it was so incredibly unfair and difficult i never got past the second level no matter how many times i tried, probably at least a hundred. I kind of wish i still had the Genesis and could try that game as an adult.
We had budokan for MSDOS way back in the day and I played that game for weeks mastering the Ki system so I could enter the final tournament..also one of the first games for DOS that has DRM in the booklet...you had to match family crests before it would boot up
Ikari Warriors: Victory Road was a gitchy mess in the arcade too, flickering and massive frame rate drops. The only good thing about the arcade version is that it actually had the correct joystick/controller that SNK used for the Ikari Warriors series. Games that frustrated me as a kid would be Faxanadu and Wizards & Warriors both on the NES.
Just so you know Super Thunder Blade isn't first person, it's third person as you are not playing from within the chopper but from a perspective behind the chopper. The game had two perspectives, overhead and third person.
As a kid it was Outrun on Atari ST. I played the hell out of it but could never get it. I played a different version later on in life and managed to get pretty far, but by that time, the damage was done.
Haha, Ikari Warriors 2 was ridiculous. My brother and I used to play the crap out of it until we mastered it, because you had to play what you had back then. I sent a picture of me as a kid playing Kid Niki to My Life in Gaming to use in one of their videos lol.
Great episode Johnny! Defiantly my favorite show. That includes TV Netflix, Hulu ect. I really look forward to every episode. Hopefully soon in the future ill be able to be a patrion supporter.
can you make a video talking about the strike series, like desert and jungle strike if you have played them. i loved them games growing up would love to have your thoughts
Randomly popping in here just a few years late haha. One game I hate (but still played a ton of and got good at, so I guess kinda like by proxy) is Shaq-Fu. Just a terrible fighting game but I owned it so there ya go.
Nice change of pace from all your happiness. Too bad about Double Dungeons and Budokan. At least Double Dungeons has become a funny running gag, in a way(Triple Dungeons!). You weren't a real gamer back then if you never bought/rented/received a really disappointing game now and then. I was eyeballing that Kid Niki box on the table wondering what it was while you were talking about Ikari Warriors. That pink box with the green is so 80s. I never played Ikari 3, but SNK redeemed themselves with Guerilla War, which was pretty good. I got several good NES and Master System games cheap via the flea market route(that's my big nostalgia thing) including Zelda and Phantasy Star. I remember getting Legacy of the Wizard for NES and Drakhen for SNES and having no idea what to do. Also hated Street Fighter the movie and Battle Arena Toshinden.
I have basically the same story as John: My mom came home one day and told me someone from her work was selling their NES games and she got a couple for me for $5 or 10 each. The two games: Deadly Towers and Spelunker. I grew to hate both games with a passion. Mind you, I'd still play them cause when you only have 6 or 7 games that's what happened back then. At least Spelunker has some redeeming qualities, but it's not a game for young kids. I don't think many 9 year olds enjoy slow and tedious games like Spelunker.
I remember all EA games had that yellow tab. I thought it was for the battery, but apparently it's just a design for their carts. I recall as a kid trying to open those carts up because I thought it was a switch or something haha.
Teddy Boy on the Master System. I loved and hated it, because it was like being trapped in another dimension where everything was cute, yet wanted to kill you nevertheless. Evil game.
LOL @ 7:20 you mention & Show Final Fantasy 1 (NES). For a few seconds there i was like "WHAT?? WHY?? Your right to your opinions, but... Then realize you like that game
"Everyone thinks I like everything but there are some games I really hate, but I really do kinda like them too", lol, don't ever change.
I wish TH-cam would fix their poor compression. There should be green stripes on the ground in the first stage in Super Thunderblade. Instead it looks solid green.
Game Sack sorry to say, but for me the stripes are there.
Why are you sorry? You see stripes on the grass? What platform/browser are you watching on?
Game Sack just the app on my phone, the stripes are clearly there for me atleast
There for me too! Chrome on W7.
AnonymusHippopotamus
I know the phones get a different version of the codec so that probably explains that. TheOne Jat Yes I see the stripes in Windows Chrome as well! Windows Firefox does not show them. Chrome on Mac does not show the stripes even after updating.
Wow, I just found this channel. What a great host, and a great channel!
3:33
"But in the end, it doesn't even matter".
that's what I was gonna say
LOL I thought the exact same thing.
"I tried so hard and got so far..."
IrkMcSpamtroll better than any song you've written
Thought the same thing
IrkMcSpamtroll If it was on the radio in the 21st century... it's probably NOT a good song...
Man, I thank you for this channel. Even though I can't relate to most of the games you played, as I'm only 20 years old, I love your content.

Xena Warrior princess 64 I got it at Target for $25. I still feel robbed to this day
yung danger : Yeah , at least that's why I tried so hard to like the games you spend your hard earned cash on. You really want to get your moneys worth of entertaiment.
Lol I actually loved that game when I was a kid
Thx John ! I REALLY enjoyed the nostalgia you woke up in me with this episode. Even though it's about games we hate , the memories of friends and gamenights it brings out , are so much fun to remember.
I'm so glad I found your channel again! I love watching gaming stuff. Yourself and Metal Jesus Rocks are my favorites though!
Super Thunder Blade is defo one of em for me!
Lol fuck super thunder blade!
2:30 i had that turd... you know what made it all better? Desert Strike and Jungle Strike!
Why you have so little amount of suscribers your channel is great, just came here after watching top 10 retro youtubers and i'm definitely staying
Budokan was the game I bought with my genesis. I too thought it would "change my life." It changed my life alright. I had to go to therapy after 1 month with this thing. Depressing game. Recently tried to replay it again to see if it was truly that bad and yes it was
What am I doing here? Lol
Your the man Bro!! I watch all of your videos! I can't wait till you and rob get together for the Christmas episodes! Keep up the great work!!
I loved double dungeons. My sister had a TG16 w/ Double Dungeons and it was a great way for us to hang out, and play games together co-op. Have you ever played DD two players?
Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter I tried to like that game so fucking much and it was just terrible and I hate it to this day lol
Yeah, the first 2 Breath of Fire games were classics, after that it went downhill. I hope Capcom revisits the series at some point though.
I know, its kind of funny cause it feels like you have to reset your playthrough on that game to transfer over your points just to make it feel somewhat normal...took me forever to beat that game when it was new & not gonig back to it, love BoF 1, 2, 4 though haha
Don't feel bad many BOF fans hate that game.
And lets all forget that Capcom shot out a crappy thing for IOS called BoF6....
3 & 4 were great imo
I had Budokan on the Amiga 500, played the hell out of it. It's hard to communicate in the video, but unless you've played it you don't realise how confusing the controls actually are.

Growing up I thought Kid Nikki was Big Trouble in Little China because of the first level boss.
I got a couple games that were frustrating for SNES D- Force the only controls you used: forward, back, left, right, shoot, the power ups didn't help much, enemies kept coming, and a boss at the end of each stage

The ending is awesome :D
I love Super Thunder Blade to bits.. but I know what you mean! It's kind of hypnotic in a way..
Was that some random Power Drift music in the background?
"Playing videogames all the summer, that's what i still want to do" I get that felling bro
Only channel on TH-cam where the host admits to receiving stolen good, playing stolen goods. LOL I cracked up laughing when you mentioned that "the store accidentally left it in the box!!!"
+HappyConsoleGamer how did you record footage of Ikari Warriors II if you don't own the game anymore?
Johnny, your eyes are beautiful man, keep looking into the camera so I can look into that beautiful soul, you man beast you.
Shaq Fu (SNES)...
how sad is it that I had to add parentheses after that awful game
And now there's a sequel 🤢
@ Shaq Fu 2?! 😵💫
Mighty Bomb Jack, Bayou Billy, and 3D Worldrunner were some of the ones that frustrated me to the point of hatred.
With regards to Kid Niki, finding ALL the secret rooms was a challenge, when i was a kid i thought i had found them all, but had missed 2 or 3, found out in later years.

Love your channel. Been here for years. Just saying that for this. It's 3rd person lol. Love you man.
I see you have both lunar games on your shelf.. I havent played lunar 2 but ive played and beaten multiple versions of lunar a silver star story and i absolutely love the game.
good channel but i gotta ask, is there any kind of order to the games on your shelf there?, the OCD in me is going nuts.
Gotta say, I had Ikari warriors 2 as a kid as well, completely forgot about it until this video. Brought back a flood of memories about it, great to see I wasn't the only one frustrated as hell with it.
"Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball" and "Ultraman" for SNES. I will never run out of salt for those slugs.
Megaman X 7 all the way. At the time I liked X6 and didn't think it was possible for any Megaman game to suck.
I have a idea/request for an episode (don't know how to call it :b)
Today it is like the world is a small village, also in the gamer-world. But it would be cool to hear what it was like for you, to see the first time that consoles in other regions looked completely different, when you heard that they have in Japan a new console that is still not available here, etc....

Yeah I could never beat them either. I got really far and had my ass handed to me,
Lion King isn't hard if you use Invincible cheat and Level Select
Yep. Fuck Lion King on SNES lol
Metal Gear Solid 1 was released 18 years ago today. A video on it would be great!
What did you think of thunder blade on the 3ds
Driver that tutorial level hurt my brain
I cannot believe you had (or had) a Dynamite Dux T-Shirt. Incredible!
Hey bro did you get the switch
Do you have a new camera?
Batman Forever on the SNES. By far the worst beat-em-up I've ever played.
i remember the game loads!
LazyZephyrus I could only get to the third level. The game was too slow paced and it was just plain crap.
LazyZephyrus I remember not being able to get past like the first screen. I think the select button was actually used as a function or something?
Yea I think the select was the grapple hook
True
man you are really rocking that beard man, looks awesome.
I was frustrated with the master system version of Thunder Blade ... that was the first disappointment on renting a cartridge that's I can remember ... I was 5 at the time I guess ... I still try to like it to this day , cause I used to go to the mall and there it was the magnificent Arcade ...
I loved Budokan! lol... so many hours into that
Thunder Blade isn't 1st person, it's 3rd person and it's pseudo-3D
I haven't played the Genesis version, but I have played the PC engine version which is allright...
Most consoles of the time couldn't handle,super thunder blade.The game did run on sega super scaler hardware.
Progearspec Yeah I know, but it's nice to see them try, and I have to say the PCE pulled it off relatively well all things considered!
Close as it got to the arcade original is the sharp X68000 far as ports go.Beside what the 3DS got.
Progearspec I've tried emulating the X68000 version but I couldn't get it to work so I didn't exactly 'play' it... It does look amazing though!
I think Dr. Chaos on NES is my #1 most hated game. I'm aware that this game has some defenders and I've certainly played much worse...

I've tried so hard to repress this memory. Johnny, please never talk about Budokan ever again.
I think Super Thunder Blade may have been the cause of my first ever rage-induced controller smash...
I'm slowly starting to feel like that I am the only person on Planet Earth that genuinely enjoys Super Thunder Blade.
Budokan is a great game, after you understand the concept and get some practice. I never finished it, but, I remember I got pretty far on that.
*tip: you can beat a lot of opponents in early stages with the karate guy. ;)

"And look the box art looks good...... But the game sucks though!"- Johnny 2016 😂😂😂 I love the way he says it!
Hey Johnny! I always wonder what are those dragon warrior box at he bottom left of the screen, next to your Zelda shield???
As a kid it was Outrun on Atari ST. I played the hell out of it but could never get it. I played a different version later on in life and managed to get pretty far, but by that time, the damage was done.
Dr. Chaos on NES. The cover looked so cool and so much was promised but it was SHIT. It's one of those weekend ruiner rentals.
Yes tricked me too!
Haha, Ikari Warriors 2 was ridiculous. My brother and I used to play the crap out of it until we mastered it, because you had to play what you had back then. I sent a picture of me as a kid playing Kid Niki to My Life in Gaming to use in one of their videos lol.
Thank you for always being so positive. You're a great moral compass and role model for this hobby which often incites our inner rage. >:O
LOL I remember your Dynamite Dux story from an older video. Take care.
I loved Kid Kiki when I was little. One of the first games I played as well.
Ducks!! It's all about the ducks!! *evil laugh* >:v
:D
Great episode Johnny! Defiantly my favorite show. That includes TV Netflix, Hulu ect. I really look forward to every episode. Hopefully soon in the future ill be able to be a patrion supporter.
felix josue velazquez the best lol
SuperVegeta25Returns aaaaaaaaaa, but it was the 1st time 1
Where has robman been?
My favorite type of episode !!
One that comes in my mind fast ist Ephemeral Fantasia for PS2. It is so ridicilous in so many aspects. That stupid guitar especially...
Good to have a little negativity. Rainbow and sunshine towards everything is puke inducing phony.
can you make a video talking about the strike series, like desert and jungle strike if you have played them. i loved them games growing up would love to have your thoughts
"...even things that are not supposed to be glitching.." Haha!
Best closing thoughts on a HCG video :)
The Master System version of Thunder Blade is somehow even worse. Choppy is an understatement
Randomly popping in here just a few years late haha. One game I hate (but still played a ton of and got good at, so I guess kinda like by proxy) is Shaq-Fu. Just a terrible fighting game but I owned it so there ya go.
Ok shit yeah UltraMan is way worse lol
Nice change of pace from all your happiness. Too bad about Double Dungeons and Budokan. At least Double Dungeons has become a funny running gag, in a way(Triple Dungeons!).

I have basically the same story as John: My mom came home one day and told me someone from her work was selling their NES games and she got a couple for me for $5 or 10 each. The two games: Deadly Towers and Spelunker.
I grew to hate both games with a passion. Mind you, I'd still play them cause when you only have 6 or 7 games that's what happened back then.
At least Spelunker has some redeeming qualities, but it's not a game for young kids. I don't think many 9 year olds enjoy slow and tedious games like Spelunker.
Yes, Kid Niki is a quality game.
Johnny you should make a video like this but than with new games, it would be intersting to hear you opinion on new games that came out :)
Super Thunder Blade was hard to control. I had a hard time to play that.
super thunder blades music sounds like someone taking a poop xD
Phantom Fighter on NES. Hated it as a kid, I felt different about it later on.
When are you going to review Double Dungeons?
What was that yellow thing in some genesis cartridges?
I remember all EA games had that yellow tab. I thought it was for the battery, but apparently it's just a design for their carts. I recall as a kid trying to open those carts up because I thought it was a switch or something haha.
For a Budoken-experience that was actually awesome, try Karataka on the AtariST circa '84.
Teddy Boy on the Master System. I loved and hated it, because it was like being trapped in another dimension where everything was cute, yet wanted to kill you nevertheless.
Evil game.
LOL @ 7:20 you mention & Show Final Fantasy 1 (NES). For a few seconds there i was like "WHAT?? WHY?? Your right to your opinions, but...
Then realize you like that game
