My Entire Mega Drive & Sega Genesis Collection

Excellent collection and a great video Mike. My Life in Gaming just put out a video about the SNES Superscope. The described it being hot and miss with some games....the turned up brightness or contrast which seemed to help (without rewatching can't remember which one, sorry). It might help with your Menacer issues. Being such a light gun fan I can't believe we don't have one yet 🤷

I love those old UK Mega Drive ads. The "Genesis Does" campaign is iconic, obviously, but the UK ads did a better job of making the console seem cool and fun to play. I say this without any nostalgia for either (too young I'm afraid).

note to self: force mike to use the 8bitdo M30 I got myself the Fighter Stick MD-6 from Asciiware recently and the stick and buttons feel exactly like the NES advantage but for the Mega Drive. Some people don't like Arcade Sticks unless they have micro switches but those arenot necesary to play a good old SMUP. for real though use the 8bitdo M30 it's pure Mega Drive perfection

[@RetroGamerBoy]

I'll get one, I wanted the branded ones first though, they feel very similar and you can actually just buy the wireless adapter from retrobit and mod you original pad.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Ya Lakers is the biggest waste of money. I'm glad I have it, but I would not pay for it. The game is worth like £5 so its £4k for a sleeve and manual. It's not part of a full set, it's just a historical piece in the collection. The same goes for rare variations.

Great video, awesome collection. I recently completed collecting all the consoles I had as a kid and I've started on the games, I picked up a boxed Shadow of the beast 2, which I didn't see on your EA shelf. I'd gladly donate it to your collection in exchange for any doubles you may have for 8/16 bit Sega/ Nintendo consoles? * to get my collection started, I only have a handful for each.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

That's very kind, but I've just picked that up. And at the moment I don't have many doubles. If you drop by the Facebook group Galaxy Sega you may find some good value bundles to help you kick start things.

[@jonathan2950]

I really like some of the compilation collections they released on the Mega Drive. As someone new to collecting and just wanting to get as many good games as I can, they’re a godsend. Mega Games 2 cost me £15 and you get Golden Axe, Streets of Rage 1 and Revenge of Shinobi. I’m sure to buy the individual releases of those you’re looking at well over £50, possibly more. And the Classic Collection gets you Gunstar Heroes plus Altered Beast, Alex Kidd and Flicky. I only got it for Gunstar Heroes but that game on its own seems to be over £100 these days, whereas the Classic Collection cost me £20!

[@RetroGamerBoy]

The compilations are perfect to start of a Mega Drive collection. Like you said, some stunning games for a fraction of the price.

[@SegaSentMe1]

Looking very nice. Just a bit of friendly advice when buying some of the games you need...... have save searches for these. Sea quest, foreman for real boxing( The blue spine game not the k.o one. All the cardboard ballistic games and Normys beach babe o rama off the top of my head. Took me ages to find these CIB in box in good condition. This was a few years ago now, so things are may be different. All the best.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

They are still hard to come by. The cardboard box games come up often but the condition is the problem with these.

[@sirlancenotalot2765]

I’m just curious as to what is your favourite part about collecting? I’m a new collector and I have to confess that my favorite part seems to be finding the games, battering a deal and opening them when they turn up (if not bought in store some place). Playing them is definitely secondary (although I make sure I play each game I buy to completion). This means I spend too much time spending money 🙈 😂

[@RetroGamerBoy]

I enjoy learning about the games, the teams that made them and the impact they have. So more of a focus on the historical. But form pure collecting, I love meeting and learning from people and of course the physical aspects like the boxes and manuals. I also love playing the games. I play about 20hrs a week on the Mega Drive.

[@sirlancenotalot2765]

I too love the history and spend a lot of time watching and reading about it. I think I’m probably still in the novelty phase of collecting 😎

Blasphemy! The PGA series is the best. 96 kind of sucks because they tried this weird Polygon engine that loads super slow. But PGA 1-3 and the European Tour one are some of the best examples of 16bit golf games. I played those a ton with my Dad when I was a kid.

[@AGxAG]

[@clintchapman6099]

Mate. Aussie here. 🇦🇺🇦🇺 I'm wondering if you might know of a game I've been trying to remember.. it's possible it's a mega drive game, but it was an Arcade game I remember that was one I'd play back in the day. Basically Golden Axe is my favourite series and I grew up on playing GA1 alot.. but I always thought that this game I'm trying to remember was actually Golden Axe II.. but then I got hold of Golden Axe II and it's great but not what I was trying to remember from back when. Whenever I look into it I'm led towards its probably Castlevania? But I recall the character walking along and using like a chain or whip type weapon. Definitely not Castlevania. It's more like Altered Beast style. Can't pin down what it was. Or whether I'm just remembering a whole mashup of old-school games but however many KZbin videos I look up I haven't seen the game again. Definitely a golden axe / altered beast style game

[@RetroGamerBoy]

[@Kai0nTheMoon]

That's some collection! I myself didn't own a Genesis until 1997 towards the end of it's run, but I owned plenty of games before that. I had a SNES and my best friend at the time had a Genesis, so if a game came out for Genesis I wanted to play, I'd just buy it and play it at his house. Nintendo boys (and girls) missed out on a lot of unique titles, like "Haunting (Starring Polterguy)", Phantasy Star series and of course the Streets of Rage series. I love beat'em ups too, even though they're far less popular today. I actually just started playing one on PS4 called 9 Monkeys of Shaolin. It's pretty cool so far.

At the moment I am at the modest number of eighty games. Plus I have a little part dedicated to the Dreamcast and Saturn.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

That sounds like a great collection of games.

@@RetroGamerBoy Thank You so much 🔝🕹️

[@stephensheehan8107]

Can you tell me exactly how many UK PAL Titles there are? I’m on 398…..

[@RetroGamerBoy]

It depends on what you count. 543 is the number I see banded around but this does not include variants and variants that have ROM changes. I'm finding more games I had no idea existed every month.

My favorite console🥰 Thanks for this video, man!

[@RetroGamerBoy]

No problem.

Hi Mike, I’ve recently discovered your channel. I think it’s great and love the content you have here you have also helped me to discover Sega Head. I am now wanting to rebuild my own Sega collection having sold lots of my childhood games years ago. I didn’t realise how many Marvel properties had games would you be able to do a video of all the Marvel games you have? Also any outstanding you are yet to collect please? Thanks again great work!

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Of course, as I'm getting close to a full collection I'm going to be covering a number of different sub collections. The Marvel collection will be one of the videos.

I like it 😁👍

Damn that’s alot of games Damn how hd tv’s make these games look like absolute dog shit.! Decap attack looks so terrible on modern tv’s you’d think damn… did these games really look like this..?! How did i think this was good looking. Then u plug it to crt and everything becomes rich in color and vibrant and beautiful

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Totally agree. The closest I've come to reproducing this on an HD screen is with an OSSC.

Amazing collection! It’s my fav console of all time and has an incredible catalogue of games!

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Same here. I love it and the Mega CD and 32X combo.

Beautiful collection! I'm jealous of that game room.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Thanks, the room has taken a long time and a lot of sulking to my wife.😅

[@bundjohn]

Okay I'll say it, that S&K box is in great condition! Also have you seen that Paprium is on Kickstarter along with Pier Solar as you mentioned wanting to pick one up in a previous video?

[@RetroGamerBoy]

I have and I have my order in. Can't wait to play them in 2026😂

[@bundjohn]

Same here 😂

[@bundjohn]

@@RetroGamerBoy you might want to mention the KS in a video in case other people are interested. If they don’t mind waiting like us 😂

[@RetroGamerBoy]

I was thinking about that, but I'm sure it will just get trolled heavily 😱

[@gaminggrandad5554]

What a fantastic collection 👍👍👍👍

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Why thank you sir.

Holy monkey that is a collection, nice work!

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Thanks, it's taken 30 odd years 😂

Awesome mega drive collection Mike! Sounds like you are doing great picking up games still even with the crazy market. Keep it up brotha 🤟 ps that's a lot of Sega! Don't let Tom get his hands on it😂😂😂

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Don't worry, I have a bear trap outside. Especially for him.

[@maverickninjaentertainment6670]

Really enjoyed this one Mike, some absolute belters in there that took me way back! The OG Mega Drive is just the greatest console. 🤘 thanks for the amazing effort in your content always, this collection series is something I genuinely look forward to. Cheers buddy! 🍺 x

[@RetroGamerBoy]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. These videos are hard to make because I just want to show off everything.

I would definitely like to see how well that modem works for online play

Same here, I might have to try get it running.

Paprium ? Kick starter Paprium?

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Yup, what about it?

[@nixx_comix7287]

I have just found your channel as wanting to rebuild my sega collection. Instantly subscribed after watching this episode, very knowledgable and an absolutely awesome collection! I look forward to now taking a deep dive and trawling through all of your content 👍🏻

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Thanks, hopefully you find something you like.

[@davemurrells3780]

Would be good to see your top racing games on the Mega Drive

[@RetroGamerBoy]

No that is a good idea.

[@SkeggsyDAR]

Great video! I always love to see Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday (even though it was just a fleeting appearance)! It's a game that holds a lot of nostalgia for me, and doesn't get anywhere near enough love in my opinion.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

It is a stunning game. I wanted to add it to my top five but to be honest that top five could easly be a top 100.

[@Thefortniteproyx]

I need to get Tanglewood

[@RetroGamerBoy]

It's a great game but the best feature in the game does not happen until half way through.

[@Thefortniteproyx]

@@RetroGamerBoy ah ok. Out of interest, are there systems you don't collect for?

[@thesmf1210]

12:08 shame it seems probotector isnt in its correct blue box case or am i just being too picky?

[@RetroGamerBoy]

It's in it's correct case. It's the Konami branded case with the correct patent number. The gen 2 Sega clam shells that Sega produced had the tab fasteners, Konami and other 3rd party case and cart producers did not have this.

[@thesmf1210]

@@RetroGamerBoy ah right, i wasnt sure if it was still a standard but konami branded case, but good to know

You need a Sega Arcade Stick from Japan.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Which one?

[@chrisgude1091]

@@RetroGamerBoy The Arcade Power Stick 6b, or the Arcade Power Stick 2. But only the Japan Versions have the "Microswitch"(the clicker Sound in the Stick)

[@mambatabac]

Another brilliant video Mike! It's awesome seeing these games in such great condition! I also have quite a few games for this system but a lot have damaged boxes or no manual!

[@RetroGamerBoy]

That's not a problem, some of these games are over 30 years old.

[@fordxbgtfalcon]

Nice collection! I’m catching up to you. 👍

[@RetroGamerBoy]

😂 That's awesome. It would be great to see your collection when it's finished.

What a fantastic collection, thank you for sharing with us.

No problem, I love watching collection videos so I thought I'd make my own.
