GREAT SEGA Genesis Games Under $10 | Collecting On A Budget

[@antiquecardboard]

Just want to say I love the work you guys do. Quickly becoming one of my favorite video game channels. You guys put in a lot of work and it shows. I appreciate it!

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

Thanks a ton man! And yes, a lot of work goes into this project but we love doing it. Having the time of our lives. Cheers!

[@paxhumana2015]

@@GamingOffTheGrid , you all can keep your carbonated horse piss, but as for the chocolate, I love the Ferrero Rocher. Also, as for how to pronounce those words, it is fuh-rer-o ro-shay. I saw you mention 6-Pack and I used to have a next door neighbor that had a kid that was around 9 or 10 and I was around 15 or so and we would totally play the 6-Pack back in the day at his house and he would sometimes visit me (because, once again, he was my next door neighbor) and he would play video games with me...it was awesome. Finally, have you two played Darius, Tetris, Pier Solar and the Great Architects, Xenocrisis, or Paprium yet for the Sega Genesis? Tetris and Darius are actually getting official physical releases for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive thanks to their appearances on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Mini and Pier Solar and the Great Architects, Xenocrisis, and Paprium are three really great homebrew games for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive that you might enjoy playing sometime. (Also, do not be dismayed at not having Pier Solar and the Great Architects, as it also has Sega Dreamcast, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii [I think], Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, Android, and iOS ports also available...oh, and Kemco has a ton of good Android JRPGs that literally no one talks about on Android and iOS as well, just saying.)

That was a great “Sega!!” in the intro!

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

LOL! Been working on that for years my friend :)

[@RetroWolf_YT]

These are all great choices guys! I have also found that the Genesis is absolutely PACKED with TONS of hidden gems which is awesome.

[@gp63]

Oh you guys must have tapped into my brain this week, I've *just* had a hankering for collecting some genesis games. Sold off about 6 of them 2 months ago ( a few common titles that didn't really need to stay in the collection so to speak) and want to rebuild a small library of titles worth holding onto. I have one title left, a CIB Xmen 2 Clone Wars, and my first game to track down is its predecessor X-men. Flawed game but holds tons of nostalgia as a title I played the shit out of it when it came out. And its title screen theme rocks to this day. You guys are doing well, always look forward to the stuff you put out.

[@atpyatskowit]

The X-Men games on Genesis are EPIC

[@gp63]

@@atpyatskowit yep, the 2nd one especially. Had the first one as a kid and sold it, now want it back ( you know how that goes lol).

[@robmason5799]

I love my genesis and collecting for the system. You can still find some deals more than Nintendo or even PlayStation. You should do best sports games for the Genesis which I think you can find a good amount for under ten dollars

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

That would be a fun episode! Thanks for the idea and watching!

[@billcook4768]

I know collectors often view sports games as garbage/filler... but on the Genesis they are iconic, IMO. While there are a ton of cheap sports games for the system, nothing beats EA’s NHL series. 95/96/97 are all under $10, sometimes even for CIB.

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

The NHL games from this era are far from filler :). Totally agree. Cheers!

[@KID_JEDI_76]

I love NHL '96. I still play it to this day.

[@paxhumana2015]

@Bill Cook, honestly, in the terms of football games, if we are talking about the NFL, nothing comes close to the greatness that is ESPN NFL 2K5 for the PS2 (though Madden 2004, 2005, and 06 are also good games, and ditto for NCAA Football 2004, 2005, 06, 08, 09, and 11). Anyone can talk about Tecmo Bowl all that they want, but ESPN NFL 2K5 always had support for itself since Day One and it did not rely upon fan based nostalgia, plus ESPN NFL 2K5 can do all of what Tecmo Bowl games did and better as well. Sure, some of the rules in the NFL have changed since those games, but, more often than not, ESPN NFL 2K5 is closer, not just with the rules, but also the AI, than any other NFL game, bar none. Now if we were going for crazy and zany old-school football hi-jinks, then the Fourth Generation of Video Games certainly did it better than any other generation for a lot of sports. Now as for the other games, for boxing, nothing comes close to the EA Fight Night series except maybe the Malibu Interactive Boxing series for the PC, SNES, and Sega Genesis (ABC's Wide World of Sports Boxing, Evander "Real Deal" Holyfield's Boxing, Greatest Heavyweights, Riddick Bowe Boxing, and Chavez, if you are wondering about the names of those games and their chronological order). Now as for college basketball, College Slam might be a generic NBA Jam, but it is still as fun as those games and no one talks about it, which is sad. However, on the PS2, an equally criminally overlooked, as well as criminally underrated, basketball game is College Hoops 2K8. Yes, it might not be as well known as the NBA Live or NBA 2K series (NBA 2K8 is also a good game), but it has a LOT more teams, as well as depth, that no one talks about on that game. Now as for baseball,although MLB The Show has been most impressive since around 2015, a lot of people overlook MVP Baseball for the PS2 and Xbox and, to be honest, it is a better baseball game than any 8-bit or 16-bit offering (though MLB Slugfest 2003 is also fun for the PS2 and Xbox). The 16-bit Madden games were nice, but everyone overlooks Mutant League Football. Mutant League Hockey also gets overlooked. I also wish that there was a Mutant League Baseball, a Mutant League Basketball, a Mutant League Soccer, a Mutant League Rugby, and a Mutant League Lacrosse, as those games would have been nice, plus there are not a lot of rugby and lacrosse games that are available and having those games might have started a bigger trend for them in the USA.

[@KID_JEDI_76]

@@paxhumana2015 Yes, I and just about everyone else will agree that NFL 2K5 is the standard for video game football. It does so many things right that even after these sixteen years since, Electronic Arts hasn't come close for Madden football to what 2K has done. But, the discussion is about great Sega Genesis games, and Bill Cook pointed out that many people tend to overlook that the Genesis had great sports games, too, especially in the early years of the NHL series. The Sega Genesis also had RBI Baseball, Joe Montana Sports Talk, Madden and NBA Live games - all which were really fun. And, by the way, NFL 2K5 played better and looked better on Original Xbox compared to PS2 due to it having greater processing power, gpu, and RAM memory. Plus, as a bonus, the Xbox version of 2k5 utilized the feature of a custom soundtrack when you ripped songs from CD's onto the hard drive, which was really neat.

[@RetroGamingReplay]

Not many good sports games when they re hash

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

Yeah, you know I'm on that Genesis business boys - been down since 1991! (Can't wait for my Classic Edition Paprium and the Toaplan shooter boxed set!) Also *finally* asked the chick at the gas station out on a date ("... you wanna go grab something to eat with me, or perhaps kick it and play some video games or something?")... *AFFIRMATIVE!* *"PLAYER 2 START!"* 😉 Cheers Robert, Wes and all my friends here! 🍻 ✌❤

[@jamess9260]

I remember buying a Sega Genesis early 92, my first new game was Lakers vs Celtics on sale at Kaybee Toy Store. Recommended Cheap sports games are Super Tecmo Bowl, RBI Baseball 94, Double Dribble, and any Nhl hockey games. I brought Superman developed by Sunsoft not to long ago for about 10 bucks, it's not bad. If you can get it cheap, Mercs is a top favorite, there are 2 different versions within the game. Great Video!

[@MiguelGarcia-xz8sg]

Great episode. I already got most of these games. I also have a multicart. This is a great way to play the crazy expensive shoot em ups using the genesis arcade stick on the original hardware

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

You can never fo wrong with the 6-Pak. The way you described the controls for Sub-Terrania, reminds me of Gravitar (1982), which is a frustratingly hard arcade game.

6 pack was my first sega game back when I was a kid. It was my only game for a good 6 months; and I was not left wanting. Sub terrain was another one I got years later....man that was good fun.

Great first game to get. That thing is loaded. And having the first SOR is the cherry on top:). Cheers!

[@DoYouNerd]

Back in the day I used to adore multi-carts; with not having the funds to by multiple games, having a variety on one cart was incredible. The Vectorman games were ones Lady Laci and her dad used to play. Give me the combat of Genesis Aladdin with the audio and visuals of the SNES version and you've got the perfect Aladdin game right there. No, you'll see you--you WILL see it--he's talking about his golden ball treat peeps! lol

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

Muti-carts are pretty dang sweet. We have an NES and SNES on in the garage so we don't have to take the collection in and out. They work great. I wonder if there is an Aladdin hack out there that combines the games? If not there damn well should be :)

I had a Sega pack on PC back in the day that had Vectorman 2. What they did with the lighting in that game is super impressive for sure!

@Gaming off the grid I got two words for ya! Repro cases! I get mine from “Custom Game Cases and they use the original style Sega clamshell cases. Not the similar but larger repro cases commonly found. These are the exact same size and design. I have never problem buying loose Genesis games because of the availability of their cases and their repro artwork is pretty decent. I buy my games to play. CIB doesn’t matter to me.

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

If I want the game I'm not too bothered about it being cib... I think they're a bit pricier over here in the UK... I'm happy to get any MD game for under £10...great stuff lads

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

The manual is a bonus for me, I hate buying Genesis games without the case (unless it's cardboard, I buy cart only and get plastic repro cases for those), if I get cheap loose carts that *should* have hard cases I buy or make reproduction cases. I love customgamecases.com, $4 blank cases, $5 with repro artwork. Unfortunately, I don't know about availability outside of the US. 😔 Either way, cheers mates! 🍻 *"SEGA!"*

[@DetectiveGoroAkechi]

Solid list of games. Also if you like Columns be sure to pick up Columns 3 also. For some reason they skipped part 2. Another puzzle game I enjoy is called Klax. See if that is up your alley. As for the Mortal Kombats, I would argue they are all actually better on Snes with the exception of the first game which ran slow and censored the blood. For the definitive old school MK experience though I recommend Mortal Kombat Trilogy on either the original Playstation or Sega Saturn. There is an N64 version of that as well, but it is missing some characters and other features. Cheers fellas.

I was a SNES kid, but I do have the Genesis-mini as well as Genesis collections on PS3 and Switch. So as much as I love Altered Beast and Sonic, it would have to be for a game I don't already own three times over. TMNT Hyperstone Heist would definitely do it.

If you have the power base converter for the Genesis that allows you to play Master System games you can get for under $10 a loose cart of Aladdin for The Master System which is it's own different game. Genesis is great. It was MY first system. I had the NES but had to share it with my brother but the Genesis was MINE and will always love it. I wish I had the games I had back then. Sold them with my Genesis to get a PS1. I only have a handful of C.I.B. games after recollecting for it but they're all great (Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Streets of Rage 2, Shadowrun and Castlevania: Bloodlines to name a few). I picked them up right before the prices started going up which slowed down my collecting. Now I have to be a lot more selective and only get the games I really want and will just put a few bucks aside a week for a pricey one until I can afford it even if it means only getting 1 or 2 games a year tops.

[@TelesplashGaming]

I have 0 nostalgia for the Genesis, but there are a handful of games that I'd love to collect on the system. Toejam and Earl comes to Mind. Obviously the sonic games. There are a few few sure.

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

I think your next goal should be a complete genesis collection! I'd LOVE to see all the bum deals you get ;) Hope your doing good man!

@@GamingOffTheGrid The N64 is a small library and I'm already sick of this piece of shit lol. I left a decent comment on a previous video but it probably got flagged. I said something about stomping a mud hole in your.......but KZbin probably hated it

[@bernardosellers369]

What’s up fellas.. cheers

[@eduardovelazquez6013]

Solar Jetman for NES is similar to Sub Terrania and came out before it. Check it out guys

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

We'll give it a look for sure. Always lookin for good NES games that we've missed. Thanks for the recommendation. Cheers!

[@es7990]

ABBAABBA I think this is the level skip code for Aladdin.. lol first code i think I ever was able to do by myself

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

LOL! Still got it down all these years later :)! Awesome stuff. Cheers!

[@az-cafe-moto]

If you like sub terrania on genesis try solar jetman on nes. Same concept. Fun game.

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

That sounds sweet! We will have to check it out! Thank you!

[@jaxonedwardson458]

GOTG for life if you have wrestlemania 17 on vhs you guys should watch it on a live stream maybe you can show some of the matches but i think austin vs bret hart is the best match so i think we should watch that match and thats the bottom line because action jaxon said so

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

That would be sweet man but we'd get a copywrite notice immediately lol. Not gonna be able to pull that off.

[@Beampit]

Sub-Terraria is an awesome game. I picked it up with a Genesis lot I bought, and I play it all the time.

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

Very unique game and the controls are tough. Lots of fun though. Cheers!

[@larrythebatmanfan]

[@larrythebatmanfan]

@@GamingOffTheGrid those were some other cheap titles in Genesis that I could think of. Cheers Robert and Wesley!!!

[@larrythebatmanfan]

@@GamingOffTheGrid lethal enforcers is also cheap around $5-8 for a copy

Cheers man

[@mancman-bu4kz]

My lad loves n64 but I won't let him play my games they all complete and minty lol I know I'm stingy lol but bought him multi cart he got around 200 ish on it

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

Nothing wrong with a good ol multicart! We have a few in the garage and we play them a lot!

[@jamess9260]

You gotta keep the Cool stuff distant from the kiddos, until they learn, value, and cherish your stuff, like you do. I don't know how many times I had to buy things over since I had kids, God bless them.

[@mancman-bu4kz]

@@jamess9260 hahaha ha yeah same, usually control pads for me lol

[@bxgeo5180]

Great games for under $10. NHL 94 another great game. I think it's under 10 bucks as well

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

We covered that game in our SNES version of this episode. We tried not to double up on games but we are huge fans of NHL '94 for sure. Epic. Cheers!

[@bxgeo5180]

Oh yeah that's right my bad lol

[@aarondaigle8412]

You said Sonic, but Sonic 2 is notably better and still only about $5 and easy to find

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

Sonic 2 is better for sure. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!

Bonkers lose cart is cheap and fun

Can I send you guys a beer? Only in Texas, and I think it’ll be y’all’s favorite beer of all time. I know that’s saying a lot but I swear on it.

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

Damn man, that would be awesome. DM on social media or email us at [e-mail] to sort it out. Much appreciated. Cheers!

[@adeeshabandara9140]

Who say's this is old? they are still making games for the console

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

It's crazy to think it's over 30 years old!

[@whiteangelskys]

Sega MK2 sucked compared to Snes. It was missing so many colors and frames of Animation compared to a Nintendo version. I have both.

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

Shoot. Might have been the first one I was thinking of lol.

@@GamingOffTheGrid yeah mortal kombat 1 is better on genesis but two is better on snes
