Fourth VideoGame Generation Recap - My Thoughts Overall - Adam Koralik

[@Ahmed-ty1ko]

Hey Adam! I started re-watching your channel after several years. It's great to see you in videos. I stopped watching years ago because I was broke at the time and seeing cool retro games I couldn't afford was too much. Now I made it, and I've started a beautiful collection! Thanks for doing what you do! I'm the guy who sent you Dark Souls (X360) and The King of Fighters XI (PS2)!

[@AdamKoralik]

Yo dude, I remember! Welcome back.

I am so excited that you are doing this. I consider myself to be fairly knowledgeable on all things gaming across all generations. But I have learned so much from your retrospective videos and you are so easy and fun to listen to and understand. Thanks AdamKoralik your awesome!

[@trevbook255]

Found this video when doing a school project related to video games... I think I'm about to fall down the rabbit hole that is your KZbin channel. I can already see that you have some great content on your hands, and you're very passionate about what you're talking about! Keep it up! :-)

[@AdamKoralik]

+Trevor Hubbard Thanks! Good luck with the assignment.

[@AdamKoralik]

+Dominique Newman Yep, I have it.

[@AdamKoralik]

+AZARIAH C. Neal You need to enable replies. Plus, yeah, it should be extremely obvious given the subject of the video that I was talking about consoles. I admit, I could have phrased it better. That's why I added an annotation you must have missed.

[@mraltoid19]

I adore these retrospectives, I've been gaming since the Atari 2600, and you seem extraordinarily knowledgeable about the industry. Your videos are greatly appreciated.

[@AdamKoralik]

Honored.

[@Sut1978]

Really enjoy these generation recap series Adam. Your previous ones were brilliant and I'm sure this one will be too. Can't wait ! This is my favourite generation, In my opinion the two best game developers ever were at their best! So many classic franchises.

[@AdamKoralik]

Thanks!

[@xGeneticzz97]

Love this series adam! Really would love to see this go through to the 1st Gen!

[@danwood_uk]

Another fascinating video Adam. This is probably my favourite generation as well. The Commodore product you mentioned is called the CDTV. It was essentially an Amiga 500 computer, with a CD ROM drive. It was the forerunner to the CD32 that you covered recently, however it was never marketed as a console, but neither was the Philips CDi. The Amiga CDTV, and the CDi we are both marketed as home multimedia set-top boxes. It was a market that a lot of companies assumed would be big in the early 90s, basically multimedia encyclopaedias, atlases, videos and study aids. As we know though, the market wasn't quite ready for it.

[@BuckieTronik]

You really can tell that this is your favourite generation by the passion in your voice here. I’m looking forward to the rest of the videos. (Because it’s my favourite as well)

[@AdamKoralik]

Thanks!

[@patmccarthy8845]

these sorts of videos are my favorite part of this channel

[@bronch3733]

Love your videos, mate. I've been a PC gamer since I was a little kid but I recently started collecting consoles into a big 'game station' in the corner of my room. Your videos on the lesser known consoles (Saturn, Jaguar, 3DO, etc) especially have been interesting to watch.

[@AdamKoralik]

Mad Brochacho Thanks for watching!

[@D5A5Y5]

Great job, per usual. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@AdamKoralik]

Thanks Dylan.

[@N0sferat66]

YES!! Another recap. Exactly My thought. 4th gen console wars was like a fair 1 on 1 fist fight without weapons and other cheapshots. Sega megadrive is my nr 1 console, period. The games are so damn good. I have a pretty neat collection and still play them to this day and have a great time. Looking forward to the other parts!

[@hotscorcher9544]

Nice video as usual, Adam! I always look forward to your generation recap videos, I really enjoy them. Damn, that Laser Active console is huge!

[@AdamKoralik]

Yeah man, it was a beast. Thanks for watching.

[@hotscorcher9544]

AdamKoralik Always a pleasure to watch your "documentaries" man!

[@AdamKoralik]

***** Thanks! Though honestly, they're more of a brief history followed by some trivia, my personal experience, and some game recommendations. Hardly something people should consider a documentary.

[@hotscorcher9544]

AdamKoralik Really interesting to watch though! Looking forward to Part 2!

[@duff_thatdoodle3041]

Dude makes the best breakdowns in my opinion... shit wish you had more systems to review. I can't get enough

[@NansheOwl42]

You my friend are criminally underrated! You should have way more subs. Love your vids bro and I also bought a Dreamcast when it launched when I was a kid. Love that system. Still have it too.

[@shenmeowzo]

yay!! oh man, these are definitely my favourite series in the gaming community, so fun to watch, especially since you're so knowledgable. really lookin forward to this series.. i want more now! lolyea the mega drive is hands down my favourite from this gen too. sooooo much fun with it when i was a kid.

[@AdamKoralik]

It's going to fill up my April. One released every friday and monday is the current plan.

[@chaospoet]

This is my favorite generation. Of them Genesis is my number one I sunk an ungodly amount of time playing games like X-Men 2 Clone Wars, Shining Force, Dune Battle For Arrakis and Dungeons and Dragons Warriors of the Eternal Sun among others that were Genesis exclusives. Turbografx is my number two as my uncle had one and later on a cousin of mine had one so I played a bunch of games back then. Only managed to beat 2: Bonk's Adventure and Military Madness. And played a lot of Dungeons and Dragons Order of the Griffin that plays very much like the Sega one. Then SNES 3rd. I had a friend down the street who had one and while I loved the rpgs it wasn't my preferred style at that time (except Shadowrun) and the lack of turn based strategy games didn't help and was not a fan of D&D Eye of the Beholder, but I still loved it just the other two a little bit more. And my God did I, and still do, want a Neo-Geo. I'm jealous looking at it.

[@miles2354]

Brill to see u continuing this series!

[@kensley94]

5th gen is just the best, such a mystical vibe it had in coherent with the 90's

[@JustSueMe]

This is probably my favorite console generation. I gotta be honest, I was like the most annoying Sega fanboy back in the day. But still to this day, I don't know what came over me and bought the SNES instead when it came out. Loved the console, but looking back on it now, I do think the Mega Drive was the close winner. The console that I absolutely idolized though was the Neo Geo AES. It was extremely rare in my country and it seemed more like an urban myth, few people knew about it and I didn't know anyone that had it at that time. I only saw one at a console club (videogame store) on display playing a Fatal Fury game. I grew up in the arcades so this console was like a dream machine for me. Great job as always Adam. I am looking forward for your next video!

[@Bk2fut100]

My favorite generation. My megadrive is on more often than the Xbox one is

[@KhAnime]

Out of all the gaming generations, I love the 4th one the best. SNES (also my first console) had Mario, Final Fantasy, while Genesis had Sonic, Phantasy Star. Neo Geo had KoF, and PC Engine had Bonk! The last generation where 2D was the main focus, and the last generation to have console makers (minus Pioneer and Phillips) be about games and games only! Also aside from the two I just mentioned, this was also the last generation where everyone used cartridges! Funny how gens later, I still go back and power on my SNES and Genesis on a almost daily basis!

[@ComicBooksandVideoGameNerd96]

the first I played was the Sega Genesis and first one I own was the PS1 and my favorites are Streets of Rage 2 Mortal Kombat Street Fighter 2 Special Championship Ranger X Shinobi 3 return of the Ninja Master Contra Hard Cops Double Dragon Battletoads TMNT hyper stone heist Sonic The Hedgehog 1-3 Sonic and Knuckles Sonic 3D Blast Castlevania Bloodlines Shinning Force and Phantasy Star

[@AdamKoralik]

Thanks.

[@3229343]

I love your honesty in this videos man!

[@AdamKoralik]

Thanks!

[@gojohnniegogo]

It was Sinclair behind the Spectrum. Out of all those home computer types (Spectrum, Amiga etc) the only one I ever owned was the Amstrad CPC464+ which had a tape deck and a cartridge slot. I've still got an Amstrad GX4000 and a whole 3 games for it! If anyone's interested, there's a movie similar to the Pirates of Silicon Valley called Micro Men that looks at the rivalry between Sinclair and the BBC Micro. The 4th gen was my introduction to gaming in the early/mid nineties too. Like you Adam, the Mega Drive and Dreamcast are my two favourite systems.

[@AdamKoralik]

I wanted an Amstrad GX4000. Almost got one in the UK when I was there last year. Had the money...just didn't have the luggage space. Le sigh.

[@gojohnniegogo]

I remember you saying in one of your vids. The games are really expensive now. The two I have (not counting the pack-in game Burnin' Rubber) are two of the more common ones, Switch Blade and Pro Tennis Tour. I never see any games out and about, only on eBay.

[@AdamKoralik]

gojohnniegogo Yeah, can't say that surprises me. It wasn't around long.

[@michaelwolfe9496]

I was starting to think this was never going to happen. I'm really excited to hear your thoughts on some of my favorite consoles and the CDi. PS. Adam you might as well face facts, people won't be satisfied until you've covered every generation of consoles.

[@AdamKoralik]

They may have to accept the truth about the first generation, I can't ever do that one. It's all Pong clones and stuff. I don't even own a single machine from it. The best I could do is a single video vaguely talking about it.

[@michaelwolfe9496]

AdamKoralik I completely understand that. Still even just an over view of the generation is better than nothing. And there's a long while til then anyway. :)

Hey Adam. I just want to say that I've learned so much from your recap videos. We can all see how much effort you put into these videos and your channel in general. So I just want to say thanks. Dare I say I'm probably more of fan of you than you are a fan of the Dreamcast and Shenmue put together if that's even possible

[@AdamKoralik]

Stevie G Thanks!

[@velislav871]

Hey Adam, thanks the video! Those n-th gen Recap videos are great! :)

[@AdamKoralik]

Thanks.

[@MegaManNeo]

Here it goes, you started your fourth gen recap. I'm really looking forward to it, really the best gen next in my opinion and even though things like the MegaCD or BS-X weren't much of a thing to us as players back then, I guess those things still make these systems unique and interesting. Especially _SEGA's MegaNet_ and _Nintendo's Play Station_ which both started things all well known for todays gamers. Also I think there's no need to say it but both MegaDrive and Super Nintendo had great titles to offer, hands down.

[@AdamKoralik]

Hope you end up liking the series.

[@Dacho_Shaki]

I was amazed while back as a kid how fast Genesis/Mega Drive games were from sprite animations to level design compared to SNES, never owned a Mega Drive, I was an SNES kid myself but I played the Mega Drive games bunch of times in a rental store

[@aceplays1081]

Thx Adam appreciate u doing this

[@AdamKoralik]

Thanks for watching.

[@johnf9710]

Discussion of connection among generations matches my description of progression in JRPGs. Golden age (snes and ps1) was when creativity exceeded tech. Silver age (ps2) was when tech was on par with tech. Dark/Present age has tech exceeding creativity.

[@thehumbleone1983]

Love the videos Adam it's brings me back so much memories to my child hood growing up cause my life story is pretty much like yours but the only difference was I first had the Atari first then going to the sega master system and then finally my sega mega drive oh man did it give me the best memories and times of my life games like wonder boy in monster land , Shinobi , golden axe , out run and finally the one and only sonic the hedgehog for me these were the best days of my life and the sega mega drive will always have a special place in my heart so thanks a lot Adam for this awesome video mate

[@AdamKoralik]

Huynh Mai Dang Thanks for watching!

[@IvyANguyen]

This generation is my favourite generation. I started out with an NES & naturally moved to an SNES in 1994. Friends & family had Genesis, SNES, & even TG16, depending on who. What I liked most about the 4th gen are the polished environments and overall look, as well as even more imaginative gameplay that got going during the 3rd gen. Mario, Sonic (yes I know he came about here, but his games went from pretty nice in 1991 with the 1st one to legendary with Sonic & Knuckles at the end of '94), Final Fantasy, Zelda, Metroid, Mega Man, Castlevania, TMNT, & loads of others were great before, but became truly established household names by this point. Many games in the 3rd gen have a glitchy charm to them that I like nowadays, but that is mainly out of nostalgia. The 4th gen was where quality control really shows. Something else I liked about this generation was that it was so interesting in that there were CD add-ons that were being pushed due to the multimedia craze that was also going on, like today we have 'Internet of Things' as the latest big buzzword. Everyone wanted in on the action, from Sega to JVC to Philips to Nintendo to Atari to Commodore to Sony to the companies who made 3DOs, everyone wanted to be on that next cutting edge & were hoping their formula was the one for success. Unfortunately, this also likely meant a lot of money lost between companies making all this stuff that didn't really succeed, & consumers whose' wallets were much lighter after buying some of these expensive add-ons or that crazy-expensive 700$ 3DO. I am confused about where this gen end & the next begins due to the timing of the 3DO & Jaguar launches - those came out right as Sega was pushing their Sega CD & their new 32X add-ons, but the PlayStation was over a year away in the USA, possibly 2 years. I think companies learnt from this generation that it is best to just make one console & focus on that. The Amiga CD32 was the console version of one of their computers, & it probably would fit in best as 4th-gen, given that the games were still 2D for the most part. I believe there existed the CDTV as well, but the CD32 was more of a console than any of their other stuff. Still supported computer component slike their disk drives, etc, though.

[@weegeesoul]

Glad you make the 4th gen recap!

[@AdamKoralik]

[@cardinalglick57]

These were my favorite years of gaming. Hands down. Legendary games during this period.

[@AdamKoralik]

[@AdamKoralik]

+Radigon Yes I have heard of it. Not really a game console, just kind of a child's toy in the end.

[@llpalm08]

I've never really played much from this gen. The most I've played is a few games I have for the mega drive and the mega drive compilation disk for the 360. There are probably so many great games I have not played from this gen simply because it was before my time. I mainly want to know more about Nintendo in this gen because I know virtually nothing about what they did in the 4th gen, which is partly to do with me only playing the handheld Nintendo consoles up till the Wii U which was the first Nintendo home console I actually got interested in.

[@HYPNOGLANCE87]

Damn memories and nostalgia for me getting the sega genesis on chrismas of 1992 it was exciting for me plus my uncle got me an SNES also on the same day i got the genesis so my chrismas was me in my room all night and the games i got was awesome.Super mario world and sonic the hedgehog 1 and 2 and animaniacs.and toejam and earl and toejam and earl 2 panic on funkatron.

[@Noobsaibot21]

Looking forward to the SNES video. You will need to discuss Yoshi's Island - One of the few games in the history of the industry that STILL looks as good today as it did on release.

[@IncisiveGaming]

Your the MAN so much info.. glad you make these videos! I agree 100% SEGA Genesis by a hair both was great..

[@joeskelton586]

Love this series man. Thanks for doing it. I'm with you mega drive edges out snes by just a little bit.

[@AdamKoralik]

Thanks for watching.

[@dominiquenewman]

Hey Adam. Did you hear about a game called Army Men: Sarge's Heroes on the Dreamcast? (It also came out on the N64, PS1, and PC.)

[@AbrahamMeat]

I love your videos (and your predictions), I have learned a lot from them. I grew with the SNES and that's my favourite generation too. Isn't it funny that generation four had more good games than the recent generations? Perhaps it is that making vieo games has become so damn expensive, that companies don't take risks as easily as before.

[@AbrahamMeat]

Note that I'm not saying "better" games, but more good games. A better library overall.

[@AdamKoralik]

Abraham Meat Thanks for watching! I agree man, it's hard to compete with the library of this generation.

[@ethanjohnson7685]

I find it strange how much I agree with you on things regarding the generations. I was an N64 kid, but the opening of the 4th gen and 6th gen to my eyes really made me realize a lot about gaming as a whole. I am in completely agreement that 3rd and 5th were really just the preamble to the other consoles which had a consistently solid library of games and some of the most transcendent experiences of all time. They really felt like games that could ONLY be played on a console, rather than just altered arcade games. Even Super Mario World remains my favorite 2D Mario. Since I'm off doing my own gaming history things, I'm very much looking forward to exploring the reaches of Gen 4. The most surprising thing which I've learned about has been the PC Engine. I'm astounded just how successful it was in it's native land and how progressive it was in terms of a console. It's sort of like the Colecovision of the 4th gen. I think it's impossible to really sum up the 4th gen in any timely manner. There's so much that goes into its construction and a lot of preconceived notions that hopefully you'll address a little bit. It really was the head to head competition that made these consoles unique and great, and I'm glad that the growing generation will be able to talk about them with personal experience.

[@AdamKoralik]

Thanks for watching! I tried my best to give some highlight. But whole classes could be taught about that particular generation.

[@ethanjohnson7685]

What I wouldn't give to teach THAT class.

[@abelillo88]

I'm only 26 and you make me feel old :(... what a great generation man, Megadrive vs Snes, a classic, here in Spain the war was toooo close, half of my friends had Megadrive and the other the Snes... i was poor and had the NES hahah :(

[@georgenelson9211]

I agree with you 100% Adam! This was the greatest generation for video games! It was kinda like a Cold War but also a World War at the same time!

[@mikebryant3818]

Man, I really love you generation recaps, and this will be the second best yet, just like 6th gen is ahead in real life, it will be true here i believe. I wish I could play you in some golden oldies, but alas you are from Chicago, and as a Detroiter, we have to be mortal enemies :/ ... Just kidding Happy Gaming! And thank you for great videos, from one Sega guy to another!

[@AdamKoralik]

Thanks! It's a fun rivalry. :D

[@AlphaladZXA]

3rd Gen recap next! Big fan man

[@connro]

Do you consider things like the Power Base Converter for the Genesis or the Super GameBoy for the SNES to be add ons (and do you own either of those....I'd assume you do.))

[@AdamKoralik]

Yes and no. I could really see either side of that argument. I ended up including them.

[@twentiethcenturygamer5508]

I just starting watching your series after a long hiatus so forgive me if this comment is not pertinent to the above video but I wanted to make sure you read this. I just wanted to mention in reference to your Atari 5200 controller Gamerade video that there is a company called Best Electronics that offers an upgrade to the controller that should, theoretically, prevent the user from ever having to open up and clean out the controller ever again. I have not used their products but there are plenty of people on the Atari Age forums who have and their experiences are all very positive. What is relevant to the above video is that I just purchased a model 1 Genesis with s-video, region free mod, and will also convert 50hz to 60hz. I do not own any PAL games at the moment but the s-video output is a tremendous upgrade over the composite, so nice in fact that I have no desire to upgrade to RGB.

[@AdamKoralik]

Yeah, I've heard of them actually. I'd be all for getting their replacement board, just haven't found the time to deal with it.

[@stan_austin]

Great video. Yes it was a mad gen for add-ons, I think Nintendo's main approach of adding custom chips to the carts worked best. At least you didn't have to buy any new hardware even if it pushed the price of the game up slightly.

[@AdamKoralik]

Thanks.

[@AL3SS3R3VIL]

So true really was imho the golden era for gaming, was always a SEGA kid, SNES still awesome though and i still occasionally put my imported snes on for some full speed f-zero, one of the most amazing looking and sounding 16 bit games ever!

[@khuntington]

will you be doing a seperate video for the 32x/cd expansions? that would be cool to devote a complete episode just for the expansions

[@AdamKoralik]

K. Huntington Yes, each add-on will have its own video.

[@blaiselong8508]

Adam, when ever you make these videos i am learning alot about video game history, please make a 3rd generation video!!! :)

[@Walker998]

there was the atari 5200 and 7200 that generation i believe or probably the generation before

[@AdamKoralik]

Atari 2600 and 5200 are second generation. 7800 is third generation. Jaguar is fifth generation.

[@Walker998]

ok

[@terrythe2dmaniac71]

also a generation 4.5 or 3.5 video with the amstrad gx4000 and the commodore 64gs and the Amiga cdtv, that would be just a fantastic video series.

[@joewall2217]

I knew it! Thank you so much Adam!

[@AdamKoralik]

[@bloo_110]

Adam thank you soooooo much for doing a 4th gen recap. I think I asked like 4 times cuz Ik UR the guy to talk about it. Thanks

[@AdamKoralik]

Thanks for watching.

[@planetcentral8322]

Adam when are we going to see the Sega Wondermega video

[@samwyse2006]

The Commodore CDTV is as much of a console as the Philips CD-i. You can add a keyboard and a floppy drive and use it as a computer, but they're not needed for normal use.

[@AdamKoralik]

If you say so. Most people consider it a PC/console hybrid. Though honestly I don't really have enough information on it to positively state either way.

[@chaseballard6489]

Hey Adam if your ever in the Charlotte and Greensboro areas you should check out Save Point and Lost Ark videogames

[@AdamKoralik]

Noted sir.

[@monster28685]

[@SadisticSenpai61]

Is it bad that I thought the two big systems on the bottom looked like VCRs? Also, just how stable was the stack? I kept thinking some of the systems were going to fall or at least wobble when you touched them.

[@AdamKoralik]

The only one that was ever in danger of becoming displaced was the SNES.

[@zachcreek9629]

Yesssssss 4th gen recap is here

[@sev2300]

I still like to see Sega back and start making consoles. There will come a day when these two companies go head to head with each other again.

[@Unveiiled]

Awesome video and shirt :D , can you maybe do a roomtour video , or 2nd/3rd gen recap?

[@AdamKoralik]

Thanks. Maybe, though the room tour isn't likely.

[@AdamKoralik]

***** You need to enable replies bud. And the answer to that is...not really. You'll see when I make the video.

[@gudenau]

Why do they even get disabled? It is a nice feature.

[@AdamKoralik]

gudenaurock Either the user disables them, or more likely they're using their Google+ page instead of their KZbin page to comment.

[@AdamKoralik]

***** Yes I am. Wasn't planning on it...but then realized I had a lot to say about them.

[@hotscorcher9544]

Google+ and KZbin is a mess. It was a real headache to find the way to use a "nickname" for my KZbin account instead of something with two words, like your real name. I had to create a channel, link it to a Google+ page, then delete that damn Google+ page! Because nooo, it can't be so simple, right?

[@autobahnfever1299]

AdamKoralik I think that nostalgia of gaming was going to be taken one way or another. If it was not Sony or Microsoft then it could have been Commodore, Phillips, or any other company at the time that was not a gaming only company from the grounds up. BTW I love your videos about the seventh, sixth, fifth, and so far the fourth generation of consoles, can you do all the generations of video game consoles?.

[@terrythe2dmaniac71]

you should definitely do a video on the 2nd generation if you own part of the consoles from that generation as I'm pretty sure its very easy to get a hold of the intellvision and collecovision.

[@jacobziacan3868]

Have you heard of the Retro VGS console thats being developed? It uses the Atari Jaguar mold as its case. Will this be something worth investing in?

[@AdamKoralik]

Can't say I know much about it. If it's some crappy clone console, I'd avoid it.

[@DrLeatherface]

AdamKoralik it's not going to be a clone console, it is actually a brand new console that plays original 16bit titles. It's being worked on by Gamester81 and his collectorvision company. I'm guessing it will be a dedicated platform for their retro style games. Sounds interesting.

[@AdamKoralik]

DrLeatherface Huh, that's pretty neat.

[@jacobziacan3868]

I am really interested in this. I hope people support it because it would be the last cart console. I hope you look into it Adam.

[@stephenobrien6983]

Awesome, love this series. This is the generation I was introduced to gaming, back in '94 with the all-stars pack so I'm really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the snes. You present gaming history pretty well, have you ever thought of expanding your enthusiastic format into similar-but-different productions? (like a company or character opinion series) p.s. (the atari jaguar-dental machine trivia was mindblowing) thanks

[@AdamKoralik]

What like movies or politics or something?

[@stephenobrien6983]

Well talking about whatever your passionate about would work. I was thinking of more along the line of something to supplement the insight found in these videos, like a comprehensive recap of gaming history as a whole or maybe just a short opinion piece on some of the major players who influenced the industry?

[@AdamKoralik]

Stephen O'Brien Kind of a retelling of history but from a less fixed position perhaps?

[@andytaveras3695]

Would u do the second generation and the third also wat about the handheld generations

[@AdamKoralik]

I may.

[@SuperGabetendo777]

Hi, I'm new! Will you do one for the 8th generation and then maybe the 9th one?

[@AdamKoralik]

Probably

[@SageOwl]

I take it you will mention the ill fated SuperCD since you didn't mention it here. Looking forward to the next parts of this as it is my favorite generation.

[@AdamKoralik]

The SNES CD? I'll be talking about it during the CDI video.

[@SageOwl]

AdamKoralik CD-I huh; I guess that would make sense given their relation.

[@AdamKoralik]

Dr. Steve Brule That and there isn't much else to say about the CDI. :P

[@SageOwl]

AdamKoralik Haha. good point. Eugene Levy's Whacky World of Miniature Golf could take up at least a good 3 minutes though.

[@AdamKoralik]

Dr. Steve Brule Can't say I knew that was a thing.

[@Fridgidice]

Hell yeah. Can't wait for the NES/genesis videos.

[@AdamKoralik]

NES is 3rd generation.

[@Fridgidice]

Either way. I originally wrote SNES but was unsure which one was actually relevant to this generation and was too lazy to look it up because i'm not yet educated enough to immediately know, which is why i watch this series and subscribe to you, so i just went with the older one. Still, my bad.
