Bio Hazard is one of the most underrated Shooter on the Genesis, it was the first game I purchased with my own money and loved it every second, tough as nails.

And something that I love about FIGTHING MASTER is that they achieved a fighting game with 12 playable characters with only a 4 Megabit cartridge, all with spirtes of attacks and poses ... The truth is that it is not a masterpiece but it is very complete compared to others who used 8 or 16 mg.

[@atrocity3010]

Two of my childhood favorite Genesis games that no one talks about are Animaniacs and Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Hidden Treasure. Both are pretty cheap as well, even in today's ridiculous market.

[@PlasticCogLiquid]

You know what kills me? The Genesis originally was supposed to have the superscaler hardware but they decided to cut it out. It hurts like a knife, kind of like how the SID chip on the C64 was originally supposed to have like 33 channels but due to time constraints they cut it down to three channels. Both of those things would have improved gaming at home 100 times over!

[@darylmoffat8057]

I recently purchased Dj boy as I remembered renting it as a kid. I actually still enjoy it, probably the nostalgia talking. The difficulty level is a bit strange but once you get the powerups it becomes much easier

[@samhillier9607]

I bought it a couple of years ago and still quite like it, too. But I have the Japanese version, which does not censor the offensive stereotypes of some of the characters and (I'm told) has various other differences. I actually didn't have too much trouble beating the game, so I am guessing it must also be somewhat easier than the western version.

Very interesting episode. Growing up as a MD/Genesis owner, I remember renting many of these. I get a weird nostalgia for some and because of that fondness, they kind of ended up in the "so bad it is good" category for me; namely Fighting Masters and Street Smart, but also Beast Wrestler (not shown in this video). Thaks for rekindling those memories! Also something interesting I remembered: Insector X was originally a "Cute 'em up" on the arcades and PCE Engine (I think it got ported there anyway), but got a major visual reskin on the Megadrive, and we ended up with the high tech bug things.

[@Tenpouin]

One Genesis game I never see anyone talking about is Mystical Fighter. One of the best beat'm ups on the console imo

[@teknomax7883]

Well, I did see it on some lists. And one of my friends is absolutely fanatic about it (and I am the Sega expert of my group), so much that he insisted that we play it and beat it... And we did. I do remember renting it back in the day, with another friend. To be honest, I didn't find it much entertaining or attractive.

[@Tenpouin]

@@teknomax7883 I have never seen another beat'em up focused on grappling like MF, honestly. Specially for its time. I come to back to it every now and then because it's just so much fun to throw enemies around in many different ways

[@Oysterblade84]

Talespin is a decent game. I hadn't played it for ages and had a go at it a few weeks ago and I never had any real issues with it. The pyramid level inside the tomb is probably the only section I get lost in but other than that, I think it's a pretty decent Sega of America title. Insector X is one of my favourite shooters and I can't seem to find a copy of it anywhere, it must have been in a low print run or something back in the day because it is very rare.

[@mole28]

I was hoping you would cover "Crusader of Centy" (or "Soleil" as it is known in europe), one of the best Genesis games that never got a re-release. Maybe in another episode? ;-)

[@PLEYOR]

Two games I'd have added: Desert Demolition: Featuring Road Runner and Taz-mania

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

Thank you! I just grabbed a boxed copy of Taz-Mania on Ebay *cheap* thanks to your comment (I was putting it off and just checked again).

[@Hektols]

Those games were good, not gems but not average like the ones in this list.

[@DeludedOne]

Desert Demolition was awesome, even better than Sylvester and Tweety Cagey Capers in some ways. Both were great games though, each in their own way. I find that playing as Wile E. was much more interesting in Desert Demolition than playing as Road Runner.

I bought DJ Boy as a child. I managed to get through it but my god was it hard.

[@MaddSweetGT500]

Yeah it was hard, but it was hella kool! I know it's not easy like some japanese version of games but Dj boy is awesome. It had a great soundtrack imo. People forget that coming from NES and SMS ... The graphics on the Genesis are far superior. And Dj boy to me was awesome in that regard.

BTW the first system i ever played was the vectrex, my uncle was one of the first ones to have it. That got me started in video games, as you mentioned you've been playing over 40 yrs. As I'm 46 now, time fly's when your having fun

[@EdsterIII]

I am a retro gamer as well. Dating back to the 70's with my old Pong machine and my Atari 2600. Then my 5200. Finally I found and received the Nintendo NES for Christmas. I was in AWE. But with everything especially video games, things change, expand, grow, etc. The Vectrex system was such a wild and unique concept. I really wanted one, but I had already dropped a LOT of money on games. Sadly I never even got to own one. I THINK I tried one at a local gaming store called Babbages. Back in the 80's and 90's, they were in Shopping Malls. Anyway it had a simplistic look but it was extremely wild looking when you played it. I have seen "reviews" or footage of games so I am fully aware now of it's capabilities which are awesome! It was like a mini arcade machine. While I did feel bummed I never had one, I owned a crapload of systems and games. Nintendo NES, Super-NES, N64, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis & CD, Sega Nomad, Saturn, Dreamcast, TurboGraphx-16, Commodore Vic-20, Commodore-64, 🍎Apple IIe🍎, and eventually a IBM or that type. Yes I have a problem..lol. Now I've gotten into the "Minis" and I LOVE THEM! However I really want to get back to the actual systems from the 80's and 90's. The Minis are great but I want the REAL GAMES! And maybe if some miracle happens I can find a old working Vectrex someday? Crossing my fingers. 🤞

I remembered almost all of those covers and only half of the games. They were all over the game rental stores when I was a kid, and they had them in Japanese, American and pirate flavors. We played Fighting Masters a lot, dreaming of a home version of Street Fighter for our Mega Drive. Super Volleyball was also a hit among the condo kids.

Pigskin: Footbrawl. My only football/rugby game I've ever owned, when i sold my old systems at a retro gaming store in 2013 they had no record of the game in their system and gave me extra for it.

[@Genethagenius]

Loving all the great content you are putting out recently Sega Lord X! I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s and had an NES, SNES, and finally, an N64 so I missed out on all cool Genesis, Saturn, and Playstation 1 games of that time. Thankfully I’ve been able through collecting and emulation to play a lot of the games I missed. (I remember being sooooo jealous when I was like 12 or 13 that the Genesis was getting an “X-Men” game! I was a huge X-Men fan growing up and that just made my pre-teen self so salty, lol!). I’ve become a big fan of the Saturn (especially its RPG’s) since then and your videos have let me know about a lot of games I otherwise would have missed! Thank you again for the awesome videos!!!!

DJ Boy was the first game to give me a genuine nightmare. The first I saw was in the arcade section at a skating rink (damn that makes me feel old). The boss of the second stage is the pumped up Chippendale dancer that moves around with this real weird strut. That night, the next night, and the night after, I had funky dreams of that weirdo chasing me down with that strut. The thought of it haunted me for like a year.

Also from your list i absolutely loved Super Voleyball, it's definitely one of the games i played the most.I had this game and me and my brother had some real epic battles back in the day. Single player was a decent enough challenge too.

[@ricardorocha2878]

Super Volley ball was AWESOME! There were "secret" moves that would make a difference! If you EVER played Volleyball you would see that the moves could be done with button combinations and it was comprehensive. Get 2 players that knew what they were doing and you had a thrilling match! Underated gem

[@arioca]

I agree. There’s a way to serve a spike that makes the ball go up really high and come back zigzagging that’s almost impossible for the opponent to receive/defend. Also, all teams do not play the same and they get harder when advancing in the tournament. Many KZbinrs play the games for 5 minutes or just beat the first stage to make a video and for people who played it’s clear when they’re aren’t familiar with the game.

"What in the holy hell were the developers thinking?" 🤣 It's a shame though, because the look of the game is pleasant, and the artistic touches of the boss and the cable car lady make it clear that someone cared what they were doing. On another note, is the "Sega" vocal (not the music from Astal but the actual word "Sega") from a game, or was it made just for this channel?

Nothing crazy, but close to me like Faceball, Strike Gunners, Earth Defense Force and other retro shmups I grew up with nobody heard of.
