After being such a big fan and collector of the Disney-based Mega Drive games, I've always found Fantasia such an oddball game. It's clearly the worst, but...there's something about the off kilter platforming and minimalistic dark music I found captivating. It feels like a game to be played sleep deprived

I've always had an affection for Pacman 2. I really like point and click adventure games, and I feel like it's one of the most unique entries in the genre. Honestly, if it played more like a traditional point and click game but with shooting sections, I think it would be fondly remembered.

I guess what makes a game ‘finished’ is highly subjective… there’s always more to add to a game and improve it, at what point is it considered finished? I get your point but it’s like Art… some art work could be intricate and detailed while another could be a splash of colour on a plain background. Technically, they are both considered ‘Art’.

I remember trying to play Rise of the Robots and thinking to myself, "What the actual F***?" I thought Time Killers and Shaq Fu were considerably better. I could actually play those games whereas Rise Of Robots was abysmal. Also, I got down and dirty with Revolution X. I was a little younger though. Sometimes its really a matter of what was available to rent at Blockbuster when your parents took you, and making the best of it. Revolution X and Time Killers fit that category. But Rise of Robots was a big fat, "No, I do not care for this!" So was "X-perts" If you can't "woo" a 6 year old renting games from Blockbuster, you're in trouble.

Ironically next day after my parents bought me BTTF III the screen was black when i wanted to start the game. After a few days of trying to start the game i throw it away. Neither my dad or i could pass stage one. It is till today my worst Mega Drive experience.

Of all these games, Technocop hit home for me. I remember the tedium, the frustration, and downright anger at times, but I kept coming back to this game and finally took it for what it was. I still throw this in a couple times a year and enjoy it very much. No saves is a serious letdown, so there’s that. Stills brings back great memories of simpler times though. 😊

Tom and Kerry: Frantic Antics was based on the animated film. I remember it being 2 player co-op and playing it with my sibling. It was really hard. I eventually did end up beating it legit but one of us always died before the end, even the final boss. Seeing it in this video gives me nostalgia and paranoia at the same time, especially that music with Jerry at the end of your clip.

I have a weird history with Dark Castle. I first played the original Mac version on a lab computer back in high school (and mastered/beat it), so I have some nostalgia for it. When it came to the Genesis, it was the same game, just using a controller instead. Since I already knew what to do, I breezed through it. The game is extremely easy if you know what to do, you deal with things from a distance.

I really appreciated your perspective at the end of the video. You pretty much said it all there. For the title Zoom: That game was a much bigger deal to me as a kid growing up. My family was pretty fortunate to even be in a home and to make that happen, there wasn’t a lot of extra money. That meant at 13, when I wanted the newly released Genesis, I had to work odd jobs around the neighborhood. The first year it had been tough for me to raise funds for new games. That meant rolling the dice on those budget priced games. Zoom was on of those. I agree the game isn’t very good at all and the “Come on boy!” is annoying af and once in a while desperately funny due to the aggravation it provokes. But Zoom was one of my first three games bought for the Genesis. Even though I’d often play with the sound off, Zoom still has a sentimental place in my personal gaming history. Thanks for all your videos! I super enjoy them!

Most ppl won't like much what u said about Toki, I for one love that game, but I guess it's part of making a video bashing video games in general... there's always gonna be that person that like that particular game and get pissed. Anyways, when I played Toki, I used to change it to hard (so it would have a real ending) and also to 9 lives. But the real thing here is to changing to "100k every" (or something like that), then u should NEVER run out of lives again... lol Now I understand what u said in the video, but those changes really do make that game more accessible, so ppl should try it. Anyways, cheers, man! Love your work, cya next time!

Simply because the greatest title intro on the Genesis in any region. Watching Mondu waddle out slowly in a diaper, turn to face the screen, and say, "Welcome to the Fight Palace" from a mouth in his belly button with a giant tongue flopping out is one of the great pleasures of being a Genesis owner all of these years.

12:35 I remember getting it at John Menzies in 1991 with my dad and thinking it would be great as Golden Axe. A couple weeks later I told my dad to take it back or get rid of it lol. It's one of 2 Mega Drive games that I told my dad to take back the other one was Turrican the one that had a box like Star Control.

Despite it's flaws, Fantasia was really an enjoyable experience for me :) I wish I could have said the same to that Tom and Jerry game though. If only they could have added the boat chase scene or even add some cutscenes here and there, it would had been a blast to play.

growing up, I really liked Fantasia (also really liked the movie too) but it always frustrated me because I couldn't ever get further than level 2, maaaaaaaaybe get to 3 if I was doing really well. Sega Lord sure isn't kidding about the floaty controls and even with the manual the actual playstyle isn't very intuitive. That and as I grew older and got further and further down the classical music path I started to go from thinking the game soundtrack was a unique rendition of the pieces from the film to thinking the Genesis was a terrible choice to try to digitize orchestral music. Even if the game still controlled as it did, if it was on the SNES the music would have at least sounded kind of pleasant

Dark Castle was originally a computer game for the Apple Macintosh released in 1985, and then rereleased in color for the Sega Genesis in 1991. I never played it on the Sega Genesis, but as a small boy with the small amount of games available on the family black and white screen Macintosh in 1986, it was a great arcade style game. The animation, sound, and graphics were impressive for that time period and for the Macintosh. You may hate it for the Genesis, but when my father bought the Macintosh from the Apple reseller type store, a very friendly helpful clerk who worked there upsold him a large shoebox filled with pirated software and some games, and Dark Castle was one of them. Good times.

I think when and where you experience a game for the first time can be profoundly important to how you receive it. Your story vs the reality of the Genesis release is a prime example of this.

The Pac Man 2 game is basically a point and click, but in real time. It's an "activity book" type game with lots of stuff, and a story. No way to fail iirc. I liked that game a lot. It was about managing Pac-Man's mood so that he will listen. Doing little things like telling him to look down so that he stops walking and doesn't get hit by a door scripted to hit him in the face.

Most of your vitriol for Dark Castle is fairly well deserved, though you might not know that it's a port of a macintosh game and by design aiming was done with the mouse, and keyboard for movement. It's often just as stupidly frustrating on the mac version too, but it's a vastly different experience on mouse and keyboard.

Mostly agree with what you said here, the exceptions are New Adventures of Pac Man and Toki. NAPM's unique style really excited me to explore more and it is remarkable Namco pulled it off. Toki I mostly played on the Amiga initially (which is probably the best way, amazing soundtrack). The slow movement may prove too much for some, but the game in there is great, and it's impressive how much Sega expanded the levels (even if the level designs not at the same quality). Many of the games you have shown here i felt are just 20% off being a winner, but a critical 20%. Who knows, with a rebuild/remix of some of these titles they could be solid games?
