Awesome! He also just recently did an interview with Victor Lucas on The Electric Playground, definitely check that out as well! <3

How about how long they kept the cheats locked behind time challenges? And how they made the most game breaking cheats require superhuman skill and practice? I remember how it blew my mind when YEARS later it was revealed that there was actually a classic button combo cheat code to unlock everything.

ik its only twelve but :< - Jetpack ...

I remember seeing this on shelves at the same time as the first Shadow Warrior. Nothing else at the time was even close to this kind of game.

I was 10 yrs old in 93 and I had the Sega Genesis since I'm from the States. I loved Sonic 1 and 2 and also funny kittle games like Toe Jam and Earl and can't forget Mortal Kombat. In 93 I was waiting for Sonic 3 to come out , and I was one of the first to buy it and still have great memories from that era.

so ur just not going to mention shaaun or the chase gte fail I see how it is

Tekken X Streetfighter 2 Tekken graphics.

I remember watching an advert for the game on tv when I was a kid in 97 and I was blown away. My mum ordered it but we had to wait months for it to be sent to us because of the demand. I remember so excitedly checking our post box every morning for weeks desperately hoping it had arrived and when it finally did one day being the most happy lad in the world.

Visually it looks great and definitely has potential, I look forward to seeing where they go with this , Nice one mate thanks for sharing this

Looks like it could be a great shooter, as you mentioned I like the idea that you can access any level. I'm not very good at shooters either mate 😂

Looks like it's got potential, especially if they have a few control innovations because I generally find games with multidirectional fire a bit fiddly on the MD. Clearly early days, but could have a lot going for it.

Hello. Thank you very much for your review. I love your detailed approach to creating videos. Everything is very accurately told. I don’t think that we will add a store, since this is still a port of the game from a PC. But literally tomorrow a demo version will be released, in which screensavers, a cooperative mode, fully working satellites will be implemented, as well as the speed of parallax and enemies will be increased. The game has become more dynamic. I will add your video to kickstarter and also add you to the game credits for your help!!! Nice to see your videos.

Definitely has potential.

Nifty! This looks promising 👌

Thanks to Graeme and Grant for some of the best video game music of all time.

Oh crap it’s like SCAT for nes. Looks good. There’s also a genesis homebrew shmup called eartheion by ancients and yuzo koshiro soon

This is on Steam, I can't believe they ported it to the Genesis that's a ton of effort

Thanks for the heads up! Please do overviews of other Sega kickstarters too! They are easy to miss!

I still can't understand why the expandability of the VDP was never routed to the ext.bus. Huge missed opportunity. The second one being no DVD on the DC although the PowerVR guys said so. Both opportunities could have saved Sega in a big way. There is no denying what magic was done on the MD but come on, imagine a MCD in full tandem with the VDP. Lots of colors and high frame rate sprite scaling. It would have kicked even the Neo Geo in most disciplines so badly. On DC DVD? Look at what the initially terrible PS2 did with that. It sold like hot cakes in the beginning because of that, not the games.

I like the look of this

i have only ever been sucked into one video game in my entire life, my gamer friends hated the fact i could wipe the floor with them everytime we played, lol ... thanks for this doc, fascinating stuff

We all knew it was groundbreaking as it came out too, it wasn't one of those sleeper games. Fps' with multiplayer on counsels exploded after this release.

Some more; Abuse, Soccer kid, Superfrog, the far superior sequel Zool2, Gods, Cool spot

This game is impossible to play because they forgot to include the PAUSE key !!!

Me and gold? No. Goldeneye..

Wonderful games I almost played them all, except prehistorik and the last game. I do miss the Disney platform games, like Alladin or the Lion King and Skunny was also one of my favorites

I guess GoldenEye is what showed me the Arecibo telescope, and I loved that level of the game. In fact, with the Goldeneye mod for Half Life 2, that is still my favourite level to play. So while Arecibo is dead today, it has been given eternal life in a video game and got famous due to that and the movie.

13:03 Quitting your job can sometimes be a good thing.

Do any of you know if this will play on a Retron 5?

Bro, you never really payed the fairy to give you extra (half) hearts? Not even once? Beating the entire game with just the standard 3 hearts can be really tough, especially for those playing it for the first time. The price is well worth paying. Once you get good enough to stop dying so frequently, all extra bonuses start having a huge payoff. Getting blue hearts from the shop is a nice alternative until then. And believe me, the modifier you get from the Devil (you mistook it for the Sacrifice room, which is another room entirely that you missed here in this review; you sacrifice health in this room for a random bonus) that lets you do increased damage is also well worth its 3 hearts price. Just make sure you bought a few extras from the fairy before trading for this one. And no, the extra jump is not really that great of a modifier. Maybe good only for the final boss and Umbrastris (the piano guy), just maybe... Oh, nice and detailed review by the way. Much better than others I've seen of this game. And, being your subscriber, I wonder why it took me so long to watch it in the first place. I don't even know how many hours I spent in this game, replaying it to 100% completion several times. Arguably the best aftermarket release and one of the best overall on the console. Can't recommend it enough.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video, thank you! Golden Eye 007 was massive in my house and with my mates. Lots of good memories with it. This was insightful and amazing that you managed to speak to so many of the original team.

Gleylancer also available on Xbox one/series X as well. Excellent video and a few I plan to pick up. Thanks

Gleylancer and Zero are two of the best Shmups on the Mega Drive/Genesis along with Thunderforce IV aka Lightning Force in the Colonies

Morbius should have his very own spin off television series starring Nick Jameson

This things looks sooooo nice!!! Great all rounder. Wow. Thank you so much for the best in class review! You outdid yourself

This is so legendary. What an important part of history. I’m so glad it’s documented for all time.

For England James?

I miss Yo! Joe.

The amiga has always fascinated me

My understanding was by the time they were done with the game, Goldeneneye 007 was so graphically-laden, that when they attempted to add more coding to make the scenery and characters to seem more real, the game had literally been bogged down to where it wouldn't function. So they had to dial back the graphics and thus that's why the characters appear as basic flat characters.

To say this team went above and beyond with this game is a great understatement. So many clever features. Great music. Groundbreaking concepts. Truly cutting edge for it’s time and still a blast to play to this day.

I had no idea they were motion capping before pretty recently.

I never played the video game but I distinctly remember this show when I was a child and I couldn't get it out of my head as to what show it was where the man was a fly buzzing around the house. I think I found it finally lol

Best time to be alive. Any person born between 1980-1990

I wish someone would've addressed why the zoomed in view for precision aiming flips up and down. It really doesn't make much sense but I'm sure someone had good reason for it at the time.

The red tape needs to be lifted on a remake with online options, i cannot believe people have got so close just to have the door shut in their face. It would be Nintendo's version of CS:GO and simply never die.

Maniac Mansion was my first favorite show when I was a kid. I would drop literally everything to go watch an episode, and I would just be as happy as a clam. I knew the show parodied a lot of things, but at that point in my life I did not know too much of any of the source materials being parodied. I watched the series again after Joe Flaherty died and I still enjoy a large chunk of it. The stuff that hasn't aged well is truly a bad time. I thought Turner was funny when i was a kid but as an adult I am like, what even brought this idea on. I do like George Buza and I think he's a great actor. Thankfully Maniac Mansion had him play many more characters than just Turner. Harry the fly was a favorite when I was a kid. As one of the most mutated characters on the show, Harry constantly talked to the audience and played the straight man. I still think Harry the fly was one of the highlights of the show, but I had no idea how they painted Harry as a truly bad person who constantly cheated on Idella and kept Idella and himself poor through his bad money management skills, thus making him deserving of his fate. Idella was another favorite character. Mary Charlotte Wilcox had a way of delivering lines that was just so funny. Ike, Tina, and Casey kind of felt like their characters got washed out as the series went on. Casey and Tina were usually the go-tos when they needed characters to parody movies, TV, and pop culture. Tina, for the most part, stopped even having high school stories since Kathleen Robertson clearly looked like she was in her 20s but they never just graduated Tina out of high school. It seems like that could have been an easy episode. Fred, of course, was the best. Joe Flaherty was one of the funniest people and liked to showcase a wide range of acting abilities. A highlight was Fred doing a very long Jack Nicholson impression whining about a trip to the mall only to have the family write him off entirely and he had to re-tell the story to get his point across about how much he dislikes going to the mall. Recurring characters Ed Edison, Fred's father, and Lenny Orca, Harry's twin brother, and the Pratt family were also highlights. The show had truly brilliant episodes, like A Streetcar Named Idella, which was a parody of A Streetcar Named Desire, Idella recounted the story of how she met Harry. The show had a nice message about family at the end too. Idella's Breakdown was also a great episode where Idella goes to a therapist about her situation of being married to a fly with a man's head and Andrea Marin and David Cronenberg guest starred. Atoms Gone Wild was a favorite as the show parodied 50s sci-fi movies. Good Cheer On Ya was a weird and heartwarming Christmas episode where Lenny gets lost in a blizzard and Turner makes a plea to Santa to help him find Lenny in time for Christmas. Lenny...One Amour Time was extremely funny they had a guest star actor from soap operas then the show proceeded to parody soap operas with all of the gusto of a disinterested local theater group. And the show ended with The Way We Was where two TV writers try to get a job working on a show based on the TV executive's life and the show was...Maniac Mansion Included in the good episodes was It Ain't Over Until Uncle Joe sings which was an odd episode where Uncle Joe visits the family and dies one night. Not sure why they wanted to do an episode about death, but here it was. And the odd part was the actors on the show playing Uncle Joe's music box as he recalls his life just before death. Cape Scary was a good Cape Fear parody. Tina was playing Juliette Lewis's character in this episode and the final scenes are very funny. The Prince's Broad where Ed Edison visits a sick Fred to read Fred a book which turns into a Princess Bride parody. The Long Hot Mansion had Fred take on the meteor in the basement after it messed with the family a lot. Luck Be a Lady This Season had both a parody of Married With Children and Twin Peaks And the questionable to bad episodes include Freddie Had a Little Lamb, which was a parody of Silence of the Lambs. This one was just a bad idea even though Joe Flaherty and Kathleen Robertson do good acting as parodies of characters from Silence of the Lambs. Maniac Mansion was a sci-fi family comedy and Silence of the Lambs is far from that. Love: Turner Style had 4 year old Turner fall in love with an adult until the adult finally found out the truth that Turner was not an adult and that episode was so, so, so very bad and icky and aged terribly. Wrestling With the Truth had Turner take his turn at wrestling and this was also a bad episode. The Live Show had the cast do an episode of Maniac Mansion on stage in front of an audience and the episode goes as poorly as anyone can imagine. I loved the Season 3 opening credits the most. The theme song was great. The show's title screen was fantastic. The instrumental song over the end credits was also a favorite. I don't know if this show could have done a fourth season because it was pretty clear in the third season that the show was running out of steam. I enjoyed the meta episodes where the actors were aware they were playing characters on a sitcom. For me, this would be my first foray into a sitcom parodying other media, and while a lot of the parodies were very light, they seemed to be able to do it without slathering on the irony

Great list, played all these back in the day.

This looks awesome on the advance Pete buddy 😍
