Best Sega Genesis Games SNES Owners Missed Out On, Part 2 - SNESdrunk

[@SNESdrunk]

PART ONE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIDElqptbauJa5Y

[@quonomonna8126]

i played zelda 1 and 2 and haven't played any zelda games since, is zelda 3 for snes worth my time? i have an emulator and the rom

[@JackXombi]

Time for a part 3 . You need to check out Sword of Vermillion one of the most innovative RPG's of the 16 bit era.

[@famaral42]

Nice choices! If you ever make a part 3, please, check out Yu Yu Hakusho Makyō Tōitsusen. It's a fighting game with extra game modes, like 2vs2, 1vs 3 and 4 every men for himself. I played alot of it in japanese, memorizing the options. Latter a brasllian company (TecToy) released a version in portuguese.

[@iplaysdrums]

@@quonomonna8126 A Link To The Past is one of my favorite games ever made. It's top notch!

[@ensvenskateist3564]

If you like to go back one generation in console when nintendo game system (8-bit) ruled the console game world SEGA had Master System and both have a lot of good games to dive in to ;)

[@Holden0021]

I like how unbiased you are, despite the fact that you bear the SNES's name.

[@shadowyashatoura]

Holden C Everyone has his preferences,personally I prefer Snes but every console has good games

[@mariusamber3237]

Yeah, exactly. Here in Europe SNES wasn't really a thing, at least in some countries, so I'm subscribed here mostly to learn about all the SNES stuff I missed out on. Sega Master System and Mega Drive had much fewer Japanese exclusives, so it's really cool to learn new things about those too.

[@Ramjet164]

Marius Amber in the uk the snes was definitely a thing.

[@chaser5616]

Segata sanshiro really have some great game, no wonder he beats people who didn't play SEGA

[@sayr8843]

The SNES only sold slightly less than the Genesis in Europe. They both sold around 8 million.

[@lasafrog]

Awesome! Herzog Zwei is my personal pick as the #1 Genesis game, hands down. It's as fun today as it was in 1990. It was this hidden gem we discovered through my friends uncle who simply bought everything for his kids. Nobody knew about this but us, and we battled each other constantly. It was one of those rare games that when you won, you genuinely felt you had not only outplayed, but outsmarted your opponent. 10/10 in my book.

[@Bowen_Windcalibur]

Ok I am 32 years old and when I was a kid 8-9 years old I played this game where you play essentially as a mech that can combine with this motorcycle attachment on screen. I jave been trying to find this games title for the past 10 years or so with NO results. I was so young and I played it on Sega Channel I didn't bother remembering the games title cause I was deep into Comix Zone and Road Rash. The game catalog rotated as did the game and soon there after Sega Channel went offline and I was doomed to the wind of CHANCE that this channel mentioned it!!! Ranger X! Same as the game Crystalis for NES as that was the 1st game I ever played 5-6 years old on our family NES and I had forgotten the name of it until it was mentioned on a retro game channel similar to SNES Drunk. You have no idea what this means to me. Like and subbed! Thank you! 😢😓👏👏👏

[@PetterNe]

Thank you for sharing, friend. Nostalgia is such a powerful thing and sometimes it’s just so important to get the required info to find and relive a past experience once again. It was the same for me with The Pagemaster for Game Boy. :) For years I recall a game where you play as a boy with glasses traversing a magical world. It wasn’t until I saw the movie on TV (I had no idea the game was based on a movie) and realized it was suspiciously similar to the game of my memory that I could finally revisit it.

[@razor8717]

Was it Cyborg Justice?

[@durt9872]

I fuckin loved Dinos for Hire!

[@Liquidcadmus]

excellent list. I grew to really appreciate the Genesis games as I got older. I used to have a SNES and my younger brother had a Genesis, but at the time I thought the SNES was plain superior. nowadays I really like a lot of the titles that were realeased for the Genesis. from this list I didn't know about Monster world 4, I will check it out. looks really nice.

[@bloodaonadeline8346]

the Snes benefits from better sound and graphics because it came out a few years after Genesis but both have fantastic libraries. The Sega CD also has a lot of great games despite not being that better graphically than the Genesis or Snes for that matter.

[@axel88er19]

Dynamite Headdy was one of the best games Treasure have made.

[@Citizen_J]

still have my copy!

[@seymourglass26]

And Treasure is a special name in gaming.

[@afriend9428]

*Ex-KONAMI guys*

[@pixelatedicon6579]

Yeah herzog zwei. Hardly anyone mentions that. The 2 player mode is absolutely frantic.

[@vicchopin]

As someone who grew up with the snes only I'm left only to miss fantastic games like Forgotten Worlds, Strider, Musha, Truxton, Powerball, Beyond Oasis, Puyo Puyo Tsu and many many more. But fear not, Snes drunk: Turbografx 16 and its SPECTACULAR lineup was also missed by many ;( Maybe we need some "Best TG-16 Games SNES Owners (and even some genesis owners, too) Missed Out On"

[@Burn_Angel]

Uh, Puyo Puyo Tsuu got to Super Famicom too...

[@zombieowen]

I loved General Chaos! I hadn't seen an RTS before. I loved that it was one screen, small crew, and multi-player. So good. It would've been amazing with a mouse.

[@tollban]

Dinosaurs for Hire was originally a comic series by Malibu. Not very good comics, have to say. But the game is sooo much fun. Very 16-bit hardcore. And Monster Land 4 looks so amazing!!!!!

[@nathanastruthers]

I miss my Sega Genesis so much. I had many favorite games. Some of them were Toejam and Earl, Starflight, Eternal Champions, Cyborg Justice & MUSHA. God how I loved all those games! I would give anything to play current gen remakes of them.

[@jeremyc9593]

You are aware that a new Toejam & Earl game came out just a few months ago, right?

[@LordSephleon]

Target Earth was probably the first fully sci-fi game I really loved back in the day (especially since I've been a high fantasy fan since I learned to read). I remember a school buddy of mine owned it and I couldn't borrow it enough in trying to complete it. I still play it once in a while to this day, but I realized that much of my love of the game stems from the anime-style art and characters it had. Turns out I have a huge weakness for that stuff, especially since I discovered anime five years after Target Earth came out. :) I actually had lots of fun with General Chaos, though my friends weren't as big on it as I was at the time. I am more of a Tactical RPG kind of guy, but General Chaos's distinct brand of humor and unique gameplay (at the time) gave me something new to play for a summer. I owned Chiki Chiki Boys, strangely enough, but I never got around to actually finishing it since I wasn't all that impressed by it. Road Rash... ah, man. How many hours did I spend playing Road Rash 2 and 3 with one of my best friends... I think we actually managed to put in more time in the second game even though the third one is much better in many ways, to be honest. Road Rash actually led me to Skitchin', which isn't as good, but still pretty entertaining if you have a friend, two controllers, and some time to kill. :)

[@torgogorgo1888]

Great picks! After a few years looking for Herzog Zwei I finally found a poor shape copy for an ok price. Still getting used to the controls but it's awesome. If you ever felt so inclined, you could probably fill an entire episode of this with just shoot 'em ups.

[@Rottenation]

Herzog Zwei! I recently discovered that game by reading about the history of RTS in Wikipedia, it's a really cool game. Also Dinosaurs for Hire looks really cool! Definitely gonna try it if only for the style. I'm really glad you made another video of Genesis exclusives. It's ironic but I think your channel is a great source for Genesis recommendations.

[@jetbreak]

Dune: Battle for Arrakis (aka Building of an Empire) was also a groundbreaking console RTS for the Genesis and made by the same people behind Command & Conquer =)

[@retrosoul8770]

Other Nintendo-centric channels should take notes on how Snesdrunk does it. Impartiality is the way to go.

[@weltvonalex]

i had a MegaDrive (Genesis was called Megadrive here) but i havent ever heard of those games except Chiki Chiki Boys. Thanks ! they are amazing

[@ShaunRF]

Shaun here, thanks so much for this. Not only did you do the two main games I wanted, Herzog Zwei and Ranger X, but you managed to find a couple I knew very little about. Great stuff as always!

[@Dj.D25]

Ranger-X I think pushed the limits of the Genesis color pallete past what was intended. It looks more like a Super Nintendo game than most Genesis games do.

[@BADC0FFEE]

super nintendo games only wish they can look that good. there are some insane and very cpu intensive effects on Ranger-X :P

[@jesot]

It was one of the last Genesis games, iirc. Damn shame the Ranger games both came at the end of their consoles' life cycles. The Saturn game was absolutely nuts as well. Damn shame the best Saturn games all came out at the end Panzer Dragoon Saga, Shining Force III, and Ranger.

[@happyspaceinvader508]

It looks like it pushes the palette, but it actually doesn’t. Just clever and well timed palette swaps. See this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZCchGqqnMqYf9E

[@Seegtease]

You'd think Shantae was directly inspired by that, not just in the setting, but the gameplay too. It's not just subtle similarities.

[@Akinohotarubi]

Nice video. Any mention of Monster World IV is always welcome as well.

[@megamarsonic]

Wait how did you comment two weeks ago if this just went up today?

[@Akinohotarubi]

megamarsonic time travel !

[@meganinja456]

I was a big fan of Wonder Boy in Monster World; I should get around to playing through Monster World IV sometime.

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

Just Joseph, it's pretty great. Little bit different to control, you can't do downwards stabbing or bounce off of enemies (touching them always hurts you), but there's an awful lot more freedom to explore, and backtracking to get into areas with new equipment.

[@brjohow]

Herzog Zwei was an incredible game and probably the first real real time strategy game and also has elements of being the first pass at multiplayer battle arena. the game is quite fun even if you can see your opponent on the split screen.

[@LockedLoadedDestruct]

Glad you covered a ton of genesis games I grew up with. Genesis had a ton of great games that were often overlooked because everyone I knew had a super nintendo while I had a Genesis.

[@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial]

I own a lot of these games and they are all great picks. General Chaos I have loved since I was 7, great 4 player game too if you have the adapter. Chiki Chiki Boys I recently got and the soundtrack is one of the most cheerful I have ever heard, game is fantastic for that alone

[@KWKBOX]

I love me some General Chaos. Where is that remake/sequel?

[@worsel555]

The kickstarter failed miserably I am sad to say.

[@KWKBOX]

Damn tasteless swines on the internet not investing in the proper games...

[@A3Lazar]

It's great with a multi tap too! One of the few genesis games that supported it...

[@KWKBOX]

Agreed I used to play General Chaos and WWF Raw all the time with the multitap.

[@nathanastruthers]

KWKBOX, Oh my gosh I loved General Chaos!!! That was such a fun and funny tactical war game. Thanks for the memory. ☺️

[@melacon00]

Has anyone mentioned Shining in the Darkness? It was an OUTSTANDING first person RPG that was Genesis only. One I've played through many, many times!

[@worsel555]

Thanks for throwing General Chaos in the video, that game does not get enough recognition. It really shines when you play two player though, my friends and I would get into some heated games. Also, all Gunner team was an instant win.

[@Matrxmonky]

Ahhhh! SNES Drunk! Where's Shadowrun? Yes, it was made for both systems and though the story in the SNES port was more original (and kinda odd), the Genesis version's gameplay was SO much closer to the original pen and paper RPG. They are basically 2 completely different games, but both worth playing through. I would argue (even as someone who had SNES while my friends had Genesis(es?)) that the Genesis version had so much more replay. I still play it in emu on my Pi 2 when I have little else to get my hands on. I know that while dealing with the topic of retro gaming you cover could have you doing videos for the rest of time, but there are few games where a game of the same origin for both systems couldn't be so quite as far apart from each other in presentation and design.

[@xelthos2051]

Played general chaos a lot as a kid. Loved it.

[@SupPalInd]

Panorama Cotton wasn't made by Treasure. It was developed by Success who made every game in the Cotton series. I understand why you'd think it was Treasure (I mean just look at it) but they didn't have anything to do with Panorama Cotton.

[@SNESdrunk]

I got it confused with Yu Yu Hakusho for some reason, I am bad at taking notes sometimes

[@marvinmobley6294]

+SNES drunk dude i really appreciate your production. your voice is loud and for me that is imperative. my ears are shot from Marshall stacks .great channel

[@miltondelacruz7033]

Ooooh. That was a great SNES Drunk.

[@ravagingwolverine]

Good video as usual. I'm glad to hear Ranger X mentioned. It's no longer a truly hidden gem as it was, but it's excellent in presentation and execution. I love it.

[@edospeaks5123]

I live your assessment of Herzog Zwei, one of the best gems on 16 bits consoles period!

[@user-fl1ed1nl7d]

Hey SNESDrunk. Why not make a video about your game collection and talk about some random stuff? No matter how many games there may be - I´d totally rewatch it a thousand times.

[@NYCHeavyHitz212]

You ever play Skitching? It's Road Rash on blades. Great game.

[@nomadxpert]

Heard of that one but never found a copy

[@brjohow]

@@nomadxpert download from romsite like coolrom.com.au roms genesis 5989 Skitchin.php

[@sliv_dawg]

That game was bad ass

[@asimpson164]

The music of Skitchin' is something I'll always remember. The 12 or so tracks were so close to many very popular grunge songs.

[@codyd6515]

Skitchin was fantastic. Put many hours into it, wish they'd made a modern remake for one of the current systems.

[@SirHilaryManfat]

I love this video, and the comments. It's so good that SNES owners are starting to recognise that the Megadrive was an amazing machine, which could better the SNES in many (but not all) departments. Having owned the Megadrive and played on my friend's SNES, I was just glad I got to experience both consoles at the time. It's sad that everyone argued (and still argues) over which machine was best, instead of just experiencing the best games on both. Whichever console you owned back in the day, you were lucky. For me there's no real winner or loser here, they were just both incredible and capable machines.

[@impofstpete727]

I was a big fan of the Strike series: Desert, Jungle, and Urban Strike games. Each one added something new and the password system gave you a chance to get past a level that maybe knocked you down a bit. It was also one of the few games that genuinely benefited from a turbo type controller as the increase in fire rate was almost necessary to survive the later levels where enemies had monstrous hit points and fuel was scarce. Once you got the hang of how to move you'd find yourself able to strafe enemies and execute nimble turns like a real chopper pilot. Jungle strike was awesome because it introduced an extremely tricky night level where the area would only light up with explosions. Also the F-117 Stealth Fighter level was just plain fun.

[@mariusamber3237]

Nice video! It would be cool to see a separate video on Japanese exclusive Mega Drive games one day on your channel. There were very few of those compared to SNES, so I guess at least some of them would be worth covering at some point. :)

[@TimBitten]

General Chaos remains one of my favorite games EVER. So great. I only wish there were more levels!

[@SavageGreywolf]

Shadowrun on Genesis was a totally different game from its SNES counterpart: it had different gameplay, story, and characters. The SNES game is generally considered to be the superior experience of the two but having played it, while it is tough as balls I would still say the Genesis Shadowrun is definitely worth playing.

[@onionhat745]

Yeah, the SNES has a tighter story and does a better job showing off the weirdness of the setting, but I liked the open-ended nature of the Genesis version.

[@michaelsierra9]

Totally agree that herzog is one of the best ever. I was twelve when i beat my older bro after a gruelling and intense 1 hour match. The next time i felt intense competition again was when goldeneye came out for the N64

[@ironphoenix5145]

One game I could play forever on the Sega Genesis was a game called Star Control. No sure if it was exclussive to the Genesis but it was a great game. Every game had a different layout of the stars making every game unique.

[@nateemond197]

General Chaos started my love of strategy and squad based games. Game needs so much more attention

[@jeremylovesretro]

Great picks, as usual. I would caution people about Herzog Zwei because I don't think it's for everyone. I heard it mentioned several times as one of the greatest games on the system, traded for a pricey CIB copy for myself... and I hate it. If you're interested, emulate it first to see if it's for you. I found the game pace to be a boring, slow slog and I didn't like that I basically had to memorize the different troop/weapon types you can produce and what they can/can't do. The same with troop direction commands. The "pick up and play" aspect that I want with a game just isn't there. You better want to immerse yourself into learning this thing. And you'll need a manual. Just a cautionary tale there.

[@pixelatedicon6579]

J3R3MYcant cant remember if you need the manual or not but suspect you probably do as it's fairly complex. Its awesome in two player mode particularly. If you win its a euphoric well earned victory but if you lose its a downer. Its a real complex fair game of tactics and skill. There's no argument if you lose.

[@DeathToTheDictators]

"I didn't like that I basically had to memorize the different troop/weapon types you can produce and what they can/can't do. The same with troop direction commands" - dude that's the same in literally EVERY RTS game ever made, wtf? No offense, but it's kind of on YOU that you didn't know this was an RTS game, and cautioning people against this excellent ground breaking game (just because RTS isn't a style of game you like) is way off base (especially when many if not MOST gamers like the genre).

[@briancurry6251]

Awesome, I'm glad you mentioned general chaos. This game always gets lost in the shuffle.

[@mathewm6294]

Skitchin was another good one, it was a roller blade racer in the vein of Road Rash, complete with weapons based combat and billboards you could jump into and come out in another stage. There was upgradeable gear too.

[@megamarsonic]

If I were to recommend a Genesis exclusive, it'd be DecapAttack. Yeah some of the stage graphics might be ugly as sin (why is some of the flooring translucent?) but the rest of the game looks good enough and killing off ghouls with the face inside of your body or by chucking the skull power-up you find from time to time is as funny as it is fun. If that wasn't enough, it also has one of the best Genesis soundtracks I've ever heard. The game itself has become a Halloween tradition along with Splatterhouse 2. Also, I know the SNES got it's sequel/spin-off (depending on who you ask) but the original Rocket Knight Adventures is a must play for all fans of platformer games.

[@thiagomiyazaki8883]

DecapAttack was really awesome, the soundtrack was really amazing! I would also include other games like McDonald's Treasure Island, Shadow Dancer, Moonwalker, Quackshot, Castle of Illusion... lol, and many others! But my favorite really was Toejam & Earl.

[@cyclonejd8189]

General Chaos!! Best gem I found at Hollywood video! Loved that game as a kid.

[@dauntlessoperator41]

Finally, I see a video mentioning Ranger-X...my favorite Genisis game!

[@gamecrazymatt]

I loved playing Ranger X back in the day. I've never seen Chiki Chiki Boys, but it looks very similar to Wonderboy In Monster World on the Genesis.

[@jeremyc9593]

Two games I still play to this day, which were on the Genesis but not the SNES, are King's Bounty and PGA Tour Golf 2.

[@stevenrosscarpenter]

The six button controller is a must for Ranger X. Skeleton Krew is another killer game for Genesis

[@Twigg4075]

I'm so glad you mentioned General Chaos. I do not like strategy games at all but I loved that game back in the day. I was also very fond of Haunting Starring Polterguy. EA just owned back in those days with games like those two and of course all of their super fun sports games.

[@philipposkasotis8658]

Wow awesome. I did not know any of the games. That is what makes it fun

[@KennyMcCormick99]

Glad you started branching out to SEGA games cuz your videos are too good to just cover one system!

General Chaos is an Underrated Gem 💎

[@hammettl]

Happy to see herzog zwei in the opening! Loved that game.

[@Grachtnakk]

Ever thought about a career doing barbershop quartets?

[@AbyssalManta]

Also Todd's Adventures in Slime World. That game was freaking revolutionary in its time, with multiple game modes that each reutilize and recontextualize the game assets for a completely different experience, with different emphasis, pacing and even mechanics. It's almost like the game was made for procedural generation, in a time before it was available. Even today, I can't say there's a game that completely supercedes the "alienness" of TAiSW's caverns.

[@retrosoul8770]

Aw man Snesdrunk you forgot about Dynamite Headdy! I really great platformer also made by Treasure. You gotta check it out. The Japanese version had a more balanced difficulty though so try that one instead I guess...great video as usual though man

Nobody ever mentions that game, but it was really great for its time.

[@lesterrr12312]

Great picks!! I'm a MegaDrive owner and still I've overlooked games like Herzog Zwei and Red Zone few times too many, but now that you described how they play I actually wanna try them out, too! Also funny how you compared MW4 style to Shantae seeing how it's essentially a spiritual successor to the Monster World series in general)) It's just a little ironic that Shantae is now relatively more well known than the series that inspired it..:D

[@MegaDriveProfile]

These are some good picks SNES drunk! I own these myself and they are fantastic games!

[@XBC3-4GOTY]

Monster World 4 is also on the Sega Genesis Mini

[@lipsynchORswim]

I think it's probably the nostalgia talking, but I was fond of "Rocket Knight Adventures," if for no other reason than it was a platformer with a possum as the main character-who wore knight armor and had a rocket pack. A unique concept on a tried-and-true genre.

[@ixiah]

oh my god. "general Chaos" I had played it years ago and completely forgot it existed until I saw this video. I loved that game.

[@deathnutz]

As a SNES kid, I only played Genesis when I'd visit a friend or cousin. However, I did discover some games I wish was on SNES that I enjoyed a lot. Spider Man. This was a platformer that had one key mechanic that made it stand above the rest. It had a Pokémon Snap like photo taking element. Spider-Man would have to take photos of objects that would get more money depending on size and positioning. It's been a long time since I've played it, but plan on doing so again real soon. Another is the Beavis and Butthead title. While SNES had one too, the SNES version was a different game all out. It was mindless. The Genesis version was more adventure based, closer to Maniac Mansion or Monkey Island style. You were Beavis and Butthead trying to figure out how to see GWAR. It was a much better game and with checking out if you ever liked the show. The Genesis was more open with "mature" content, so I remember it being more true to form and less censored than the SNES version.

[@colinconsidine5209]

Thank you for mentioning road rash! Those were my all time favorites on the genesis!

[@nintenjoel]

Definitely a great subject. I own a couple of these (Herzog and MWIV) and they are both excellent... This episode is gonna make me expand my want list!

[@GTFour]

Road Rash 1/2/3 are my all time favourite Genesis games

[@DeathToTheDictators]

Target Earth...my FAV Genesis game with a bullet!

[@kelleycondon6504]

Road rash for Playstation had some awesome cut scenes

[@Bloodletter8]

"General Chaos". That's it. That's all you have to say. That game is amazing.

[@NotaPizzaGRL]

Should've mentioned Yu Yu Hakusho. It's the best fighting game on the Genesis and one of the best console-only 16-bit fighting games I've played. Also Pulseman was a great game. It was like a cross between Sonic and Mega Man and it was made by the same company that did Pokemon. Rent-A-Hero was great too. There are so many great Genesis games and that's if you don't add the Sega CD too. Even the 32X had Kolibri, Virtua Fighter, Virtua Racing Deluxe, Wrestlemania Arcade, Mortal Kombat II, and Knuckle's Chaotix.

[@elel.]

I had ranger-x as a child. It has great visuals and smart ideas, but too easy and too short! I remember, i traded it for nba live 97, the best sport game i ever play (and i have play a lot). I never regretted!

[@auronsin69]

I used to have General Chaos for my Sega Nomad. It was a great game!!!!

[@whobitmyname]

I was like "I bet he forgets Target Earth." Don't I feel dumb. That game was awesome, pretty tough too. I never got far without the invincibility cheat.

[@DeathToTheDictators]

Target Earth is the most underrated Genesis game....so good.

[@AfroRyan]

You gotta try out some of the good Sega only (and sometimes Sega developed) arcade ports. Gain Ground is one of my personal favorites, and they even added levels that weren't in the arcade version. I also really like Vapor Trail (or Kuuga), a great shootemup from Data East with an awesome soundtrack. Granada is a port of a Sharp X68000 game from Wolf Team, and it's a lot of fun; an overhead shooter in the same family as something like Capcom's Commando. There's also weird original games like The Ooze and Greendog, which may have some rough edges but there's nothing else like them.
