Im just going to come and say it. The Sega Megadrive is the greatest game console of all time. Thankyou Kim for this.

[@natsume-hime2473]

Me: I wonder why Kim doesn't seem to make scripted and curated videos more often. Me: \*Sees the 1 hour, 49 minute, and 14 seconds length of the video\* Me: Oh, yeah that'll do it. Plus for content this well thought out and put together. I'm also not complaining. Cheers Kim! Thanks for the amazing content.

[@MrSegAsh]

Opa-Opa Dont get me wrong the Dreamcast (niaomi) is a good console, I still have mine from back in the day. but the good old Sega Mega Drive was the balls and got Sega its place in the home console market. There is still a huge homebrew scene for this much loved console and in my opinion will always be Sega's best console.

Great list! Super happy to have a couple of games I made on your list (General Chaos, Jungle Strike, etc). I'm always happy to hear what fans think of them. Good stuff! BTW, when I made Strider 2014, I actually purposely ignored US Gold's games and barely looked at the NES game. If you're referring to Strider 2014 being a Metroidvania, the main reason was because you can't do a 30 minute arcade game now and expect it to sell. So, the game is a love letter to all things Strider. Sorry it didn't work for you, but as a LIFE-LONG Strider fan, I'm pretty proud of what was done by 22 people in 14 months with a ton of executives trying to get in the way and make it into "Gears of Strider".

I was a SNES boy and have never owned a Sega console. However, your videos are excellent and this list makes me appreciate just how great the 16 bit era was. Two fantastic consoles, both with a remarkable library of games.

[@SirHilaryManfat]

I had a Megadrive, and was lucky to have a SNES owning mate. I think that anyone who didn't experience both was really missing out. There was no loser in the 16 Bit console wars, as they both rocked!

[@iamthatguyfromslipknot1137]

@@SirHilaryManfat yeah I was the same i had the mega drive and my mate Jamie had the Snes do I got to play both and yeah they are both great consoles there could never be a winner really..even though Nintendo are still about it was sad Saga never did much in the end but I got the Saga all stars pack for my ps3 which had all the best Saga games on there..

[@Jayce_Alexander]

@@SirHilaryManfat Exactly. It's kind of daft how there are still SNES and Mega Drive fans out there who still refuse to touch anything that was on the competing consoles, or Amiga fans who won't touch anything that was on a any console, period. It was one of the greatest, most diverse eras in gaming, and people who are still fanboying to that degree are only cheating themselves. I'm really glad the indie gaming revolution has really brought 16-bit style 2D gaming back to the forefront. It's like a revival of the 8 and 16-bit eras, and meanwhile there's also plenty of modern stuff still coming out. There truly is something for everybody out there now. :)

[@RetroGamesBoy78]

@@iamthatguyfromslipknot1137 "it was sad Sega never did much in the end" we are talking about the same Sega right? They have had a massive influence on video gaming, only second to Nintendo really, and they are "still about" releasing games as a developer and Publisher quite regularly as well as licencing out some of the biggest IPs.

[@ninjapirate47]

I had both, the mega drive 1st. It was a privilige. They were both fantastic in their own ways.

[@Jayce_Alexander]

Great stuff, Kim! I hope you'll decide to do one of these for the Master System at some point!

[@angryretrogamer7313]

I really like how you keep the actual name of the game at the bottom of the screen while you talk about it and show footage I recently got super console x and i enjoy watching these videos to give me ideas of games to play its much easier to write down the good looking games without having to rewind the video to see the name again thanks and i love your selection 👍

[@stevieh6]

Great video. The way you talk about these games really takes me back. Thanks

[@SickLiq]

Old vid but still had to comment. My parents used to play Columns too! That and my dad would play me in Madden '92 and I'd cry like a little spoiled brat when he won. Only videogames they ever touched. Unless video slots count. Lots of nostalgia. Good list. Edit: After watching through. I'm glad you gave Flashback some real love. It's a personal favorite. So much nostalgia from the list. Cast of Illusion and Flicky were games my parents bought for my little brother, they were two of the first games I ever finished. I want to throw out Kid Chameleon as an honorable mention and Sega exclusive I believe. Also Soldiers of Fortune was a great multi-platform game that was a really nice top down shooter with a cool steampunk vibe and a fun upgrade system. Enjoyed how much you know about these old games. Encyclopedic!

[@johnbowles5399]

Nice list Kim! I find it hard to disagree with too much here except to say that I'm surprised that Landstalker, one of my fave Mega Drive games of all time, didn't even make the list! Oh well, perhaps isometric action rpgs aren't your thing. I also would have placed Shining Force a lot higher up but then, as you say, these lists are very subjective and personal things. Great vid and great work! :)

[@dazino3509]

My most favoured console of all time. The memories of playing it at my gran's house on her living room TV are so vivid. I only had a 14" in my bedroom! Sawing off the wee plastic bits to play imported Japanese cartridges felt so good, especially when games hadn't been released in the UK!

[@lpgibbo7463]

Madden is THE reason I've bought consoles for 30 years! From the first game on the Megadrive to the ps4 now, I'll get it on Ps5 when I can eventually be bothered with one. Good videos these, came from the Amiga one 😊

Wonderful list, only took 2 days to watch, but I really appreciate the fact that you didn't just show the beginning of the games as many, many other people tend to do, but instead showed the more interesting moments that actually showcase the games better, and I also agree with most of the positions, safe the few..

This is a very tough list to put together, but putting Streets Of Rage 2 first made me smile obviously :) I did however expect Quackshot, my favourite Disney game on the system.

[@sargonsblackgrandfather2072]

Yuzoboy spoilers fuckface! 😉

[@Jayce_Alexander]

I've only played Quackshot in short bursts, but ever since I was a wee lad, in days of yore, I've wanted to play it. It just seems like a really excellent Disney game, and kind of unlike anything else with the adventure elements. Sega had a lot of good Disney games. The Illusion series was fantastic - on the Mega Drive AND the Master System. I also loved the Master System Donald Duck games, Lucky Dime Caper and Deep Duck Trouble.

[@Sephsplaces]

one game missing from my childhood that I used to love on the mega drive was worms..... caused many a family feud

[@robert-leesefton9274]

Your reviews are great for two key reasons: 1) I am from the UK and things definitely were different in our country and Europe generally in regards to how popular Sega was and the predecessor not really being Atari 2600 or NES but more the home computers. Amerct reviewers often take me out of it when referring to stuff like the gaming crash etc where you obviously don't!! 2) I value the fact that you aren't pretentious in your gaming choices. Many people would retch at the thought of sporting games being on best ever gaming lists, but NHL and the likes were amazing games and deserve to be included on merit. This coming from someone who on a blog once put Virtua Tennis (arcade) as one of my top ten games of all time and got roundly abused for doing so! Keep it up, best gaming channel on KZbin for all the best reasons!

Nice list Kim! My personal favorite is Contra: Hard Corps. That's the best Contra game and the best Genesis game for me!

Jewel Master and Bio-Hazard Battle are twp favourites of mine.

I’d love to see that PlayStation top 100! Streets of Rage 2 is 100% correct I agree with everything you said, the game is literally perfect. Great list overall.

And there I was earlier thinking there hasn’t been a Kim mega drive video for a while....and bosh! As ever, keep it up Kim. Great stuff.
