My Life in Gaming Marathon #2 - SEGA Systems and Games

[@EricAbroad]

This video seriously couldn't have had better timing for me! My gf asked me if I wanted a Megadrive/Genesis for my retro collection as a bday gift. I asked her to wait unti I did some research on which model to get. Keep it up, guys!

[@The90sGamingGuy]

Model 1 with HD Graphics is the best one to get imo i have two of them.

[@RWL2012]

@@The90sGamingGuy he's in Japan, so the equivalent would be an "AV Intelligent Terminal • High Grade Multipurpose Use" Model 1.

Listening to this while working from home is super relaxing. These guys bring nostalgia just by listening to their voices.

I'd agree with that. I could listen audio only on most vids

It's either this or the Snyder Cut, take your pick.

[@ohmlord]

I love sega consoles. I once got given as a child, a entire collection of sega gear, both cd drives, 3 mega drives, a 32x and mastersystem addon and HEAPS of games like an entire collection and it was the only console i'd play. When we had a garage sale my parents sold it all for $100 (2003). It has always been on my mind and as i grew up I'd try buying the same games and systems I'd lost. It has cost me close to $2000 (Aus) and I'm only halfway buying. This comment was written in frustration and is out of context but I hope this comment just stresses the point not to sell your old consoles cos it will cost you many hours of work to get back.

Just discovered this channel yesterday and I've had it playing in the background ever since. From one Sega kid to another, thanks for the videos!

Gonna add this to my sleeping play list, this and game sack's console crunch are my lullabies

Gotta agree. MLiG, GameSack, GTV are my go to's also.

I’m glad there are more of us

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

Isn't it strange how it listening to dudes talking about video games eases anxiety? Whenever I have insomnia I put one of these on and it helps my racing mind to calm down.

Wow at least I’m not the only one who sleeps through video game history lol. But I like it.

[@RapideWombaticus]

[@chrisw8069]

I really appreciate this guys. Glad to know other people loved and admired Sega as much as me.

[@tims.2717]

The Sega Genesis Collection for PS2 was my first experience playing these games ever, having never grown up with them on the actual Genesis console in the 90's and was the first game collection that got me into retro gaming back in the late 2000's.

[@rokuken]

Well Joe, you’re bot the only Space Harrier’s SMS version fan. Here’s another one. One of my favorite SMS games ever. Still play it to this day from time to time.

[@BlackMushroomy]

thank you so much for making this. i love listening to stuff like this while im working. i hope you continue to make compilations like this!

[@PogueSquadron]

I also recently played some Genesis games I missed out on and would love to play more. In the past couple years, played through Wonder Boy in Monster Land, Monster World IV, some Streets of Rage 2, and Castlevania Bloodlines. I'd love to check out Contra Hard Corps and Ghosts n Goblins on Genesis.

[@wisewords8972]

Emulators my friend. I have entire retro gaming console libraries on my Wii, Android device, original xbox and 3ds xl. A decent PC would due too. There are plenty of roms online to find.

2:42:10 I had the exact opposite experience with Quartet. I loved the arcade game as a kid but I had an NES. I never knew there was an home version of Quartet until I was an adult and start watching retro game videos on youtube. I bought a cartridge off of ebay as soon as I found out just so I could have a physical copy of one of my favorite childhood games.

[@Dr.D00p]

Gonna have to download this for offline viewing.

[@SegaGentleman]

I loved my Sega childhood.

[@ortsed7]

Sega is just the best. Mastering games about platforming, fighting, fork lift driving, light gunning, deep sea fishing, daytona drifting, maraca shaking (!), street thug thrashing, 18 wheeler delivering, Ferrari shifting, graffiti spraying, rally racing, twin stick mech battling, cosmic tennising, after burning - just to name a few. No one other game company had the guts or just sheer cool factor to cover their range.

[@josephmorales652]

I recently just started playing alien soldier on a small crt tv I acquired. It’s freaking amazing. The game has aged extremely well.

[@rickylovesyou]

Every RF modulator should be removed lol. The caps in them seem to go out quick. Been repairing a TG16 with the issue and it happens in NESes and others too. MD2 Component cables are apparently a must too for any retro gamer lol. Great vid guys!

[@slimebuck]

as a hobby emulator coder, plug in maker, and bug fixer, it makes me sick the emulation quality the top brand companies use. You would think sega, nintendo, sony and microsoft should have the best emulators. Why is it hobbyists, people not getting paid, small teams show these billion dollar thousands of people companies up so much??

[@eustab.anas-mann9510]

Don't forget most of the code is closed source and only Big Gaming has access to their own source code.

[@StRoRo]

Why would these companies have emulators for their own historic hardware? Thousands of hobbies have contributed decades of work to creating them. The real cost of development is probably billions over this time. Financially it's not worth it to them.

[@TwilightAdvance]

​@@StRoRo ...You seriously believe this 😂? You do realize emulator is a one thing which runs MULTIPLE softwares. They don't have to create a new one each time they want to emulate a single game 😂 Never bootlick greedy companies, have dignity.

[@humnaset]

Ow yea, stereo sound from the genesis, I remember it. When I had a genesis back in the 90's, I was into electronic DIY, so I hooked my genesis headphone output to my DIY stereo set. Street Fighter II sounded awesome.

[@AnthonyRiddle]

Part 1 of this video is why I prefer playing games on my mini consoles. You get a crisp upscaled pixel perfect screen with just an HDMI cable.

[@gusposey8218]

@@eastcoastitalian6179 It's true, and it's one of the reasons I have an original Xbox hooked up right now. It was Soul Calibur 2, especially, that sold me on the idea. I love the relationship, but only wish I had a massive green box with a SEGA logo on it.

[@Jakub72]

At 1:52:00 with the original Xbox playing JSRF, was that footage coming through the FrameMesiter? I'd like to achieve something similar for the Xbox, PS2, DreamCast Era that isn't as expensive

[@dustoffer9870]

Biohazard Battle

[@darinherrick9224]

It's also funny to me how when I was playing SEGA I was a kid and my parents didn't like the sound anything even remotely violent. So no Shinobi for me! I was playing Sonic and Toejam and Earl, Taz, Thunder Force (spaceship violence was okay). I never played Space Harrier or Golden Axe or Shining Force. Now that I'm almost 40 I have to wonder is it even worth going back and trying to understand all this stuff I missed?

[@enfieldjohn101]

Genesis hardware is fun to tinker with. I no longer have the space for the huge stack of add-ons that it takes though. I wound up selling my setup a few years ago and now use emulators like Hyperkin. It's really interesting stuff for a hardware geek like me to tinker with though. I kinda miss it at times.

[@redhotsonic]

9:03 - The Genesis 3 DOES have RGB natively. No mod is required.

[@mylifeingaming]

[Try4ce] Yes. This was a common rumor years ago when we made this video and we fell for it without adequate testing of our own. Lesson learned.

[@redhotsonic]

@@mylifeingaming - No worries. I got my Genesis 3 half a year ago and stuck an RGB cable to see what would happen after falling for that rumour myself. And colour me surprise, it actually worked 😊

[@aravinz_hd]

What is your prefered upsaling solution nowadays? Do you still use the Framemeister or have you switched to other methods like the OSSC or do you use something else?

[@mylifeingaming]

[Try4ce] We don't use the Framemeister that much these days (although I'm actually using it tonight because I'm streaming a PS2 game and the Framemeister is still one of the better solutions for 480i). Mostly we use the OSSC, although we imagine we'll be switching to the RetroTINK-5X and OSSC Pro when those come out. But those are going to be much more expensive solutions than the existing OSSC and RetroTINKs.

[@DacioNerdTV]

For s video cables for consoles like snes, genesis and ps1 what would you recommend ? Is there a specific brand or the og s video cables for these consoles ? I have a retrotink and I have one of those multi input composite/ s video cables and the image is sharper than composite but I get these diagnol waves on the tv when I use it. Do you think this problem could be the result of my s video cable or the capture card I use which is the original elgato HD that I always have it plugged into ? I'm upgrading to ossc but would still love to use the tink for composite and s video uses.

[@mylifeingaming]

[Try4ce] Genesis can't do S-video, just composite and RGB. SNES and PS1 can, though. The issue you describe looks very much like what you get with poor S-video cables. For Sony, I bought some official ones not that many years ago and they weren't too expensive. Not sure what else that's good is out there, but there might be something. For Nintendo, I'd say go for the one from Insurrection Industries. insurrectionindustries.com/product/nintendo-s-video/
