Generations Lost Longplay (Sega Genesis) [QHD]

[@zigfaust]

In case you are wondering, Bruce Straley designed both this and the X-Men game, hence the similarities and music.

[@TampaTec]

Plays like X-Men 1 on Sega Genesis even the first map is similar. Interesting.

[@Jayce_Alexander]

First thing I thought when I saw it.

[@rickdavis32]

The music is very similar as well.

[@reno82]

It's probably the same engine, from the same developer, with only a few sprites changing.

[@Zhello79]

Yeah, similar engine for the platform play. Ironically some of the glitches from X-Men actually works but tricky to pull off

[@zigfaust]

Bruce Straley was the lead designer on both games. Different companies, but it shows that a good dev can carry their style to other teams.

[@hashknight1]

[@moxxichannel5950]

At first I thought it was a sequel to Sega's X-Men title but starring Bishop. Cool looking game.

This is the most genesis game i can identify.. i mean if anyone tried to show me this game leaving me to guess the platform it belongs to, my answer would be immediately the genesis. Those sound effects and color palette, smells Sega all over the place

[@antonlavrentiev5249]

As a child couldn't past the first level. But still remember this game after 28 years.

[@jim_dove]

Used to play it when I was I kid. Never could beat the first level... Finally I know what's next. Great game with a special atmosphere! Thank you!

[@jumatatuta2408]

Aaaaaa, Jesus, I played it as a child and forgot the name, I searched for a long time on the forums and on KZbin, but there was no information anywhere. Thank you very much!!

[@teddycaster248]

Thank you very much! 🙂Beautiful, and very interesting game. Something in style remind "Flashback". So much good games be in retro era. In our modern time games diferent by the spirit and art performance. Time change, and games change. I very like old games, all modern video games industry began from there. Thank you, perfect walkthrough, I get a lot of pleasure to watch this. 👍

[@darak2]

This game reminds me of The Sacred Armour of Antiriad, a much earlier 8-bits game with a similar setting and main character. Even the Wikipedia mentions it, although both games seem to be unrelated.

[@litjellyfish]

Look like to child of Antiriad and Flashback

[@rafaellima83]

Back at the day people compared it a lot to Flashback.

[@cauldronrevs6951]

Yes on C64 and it is not easy to finish it with the life , it is good with a trainer .......... have a nice day.

[@cybergothika6906]

Funny how the story has a long distant resemblance to current Assassin's Creed mythos. It has no relation with Ubisoft but indirectly, Crystal Dynamics and others in the influence. Then I went to take a look and it was designed by Bruce Straley. The guy behind The Last of Us and of course Uncharted.

[@desktorp]

I remember looking at this game at a rental store called Video Goldmine, but it was before I owned a Genesis, so I never tried it. Seeing the box art is a blast from the past. Reading the wikipedia article about it is kinda hilarious.. The Gamepro review sounded pretty brutal and I imagine if the game had been the X-Men sequel it was originally supposed to be, they would've been kinder to it. Also thought it was interesting that the Gamepro reviewer claimed there were no boss fights when there clearly are. Almost makes ya wonder if they even got past the 1st sector. Looks like a good game to me. Yeah the controls seem a bit clunky, but it's got a great aesthetic and the story is cool.

[@zandorvorkov7257]

I've never heard of this but it looks GREAT!

[@tonkrogerio]

This looks so identical to the genesis xmen game that I had to google it and it turns out it's the same guy who did both.

[@dirtmerchant4718]

The reason why most of us never bothered with this game is due to the release date. It came out in December of 1994, the same date as the Sony Playstation. We were too distracted with Toshinden and Ridge Racer.

[@greglongmore6503]

Oh okay that explains it

[@TheTubhead]

I play it and bought the ps two years later.

[@tiborvegh700]

Que recuerdos me trae este juego , parece fácil pero tenía una mecánica que era poco común para la época

Era difícil el salto, como que era lento. Había que acostumbrarse

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

The story is really great. One day, humanity will have to face something like this.

[@TheTubhead]

I didn't understand the story much, can u please explain it?

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

@@TheTubhead long time ago in 21st century, a huge spaceship was built on Earth to reach the nearest habitable planet. Generations of people were planned to live for centuries onboard. During 400 years of the journey, original knowledge and information was lost and the crew eventually degraded into primitive tribes who didn't even understand who they are or that they are onboard a spaceship. So they just been around the target planet orbit for 200 years...

If X Men and Flashback ever had a son.

I think Flashback's opening level is just "coincidentally" similar with it's jungle forest/sci-fi tech environment but yeah this game is to the X-men game what Super Mario 2 was to Doki Doki Panic.

[@qwert4560]

Reminds me of Flashaback. Especially sound and soundtrack.

[@cybergothika6906]

O projeto é do mesmo criador do The Last of Us e Uncharted, mesma mente por de trás. Privilégios mil mas pelo menos e talentoso, é o Bruce Straley. Ele e o staff produziram Generations Lost pra ser um jogo do X-Men a engine tava pronta pra sequel, mas perderam os direitos autorais e ai pra não perder o investimento fizeram outro qualquer no lugar. A história é bem original pra época que foi feita, parece os mitos do Assassin's Creed e Horizon New Dawn feitos hoje.

[@gatotsu2501]

Wow you can already see the basic shape of the narrative-guided traversal/combat/minigame/cutscene formula that would define Uncharted and Last of Us. I always knew those games were influenced by Another World, Blackthorne, etc. but not this explicitly. Curious to try this!

[@cybergothika6906]

It is a mistake to say only Snes had nice framing animations. I was always envy at my best friend's Genesis when it came to peculiar titles like these. I also loved Ranger X and Comix Zone, Echo Squad and so many others. We always burrowed each other's console so we could play these games. He liked Chrono Trigger for Snes and if I remember correctly, my friend used to like Batman e Robin for Snes more than the Drive's. I'm just proud to be an old ass gamer to have come from the golden age. Now look at the mess.
