One Hour of 90s Video Game Nostalgia - Games of Early 1992

[@mr.horseshoe2301]

Born in '82. The early 90's were the golden age of gaming for me. Very nostalgic.

[@tf1090c]

Were you a Sega or Nintendo kid? What were your favourite games?

[@VixXstazosJOB]

38 person here.... I remember those, kinda sad how NOW i kinda hate them. Empty, Superficial and Shilly Annoying

[@MentalLiberation]

Also born in 82. This is one of my favorite shows

[@maddhattersboutique]

Love your work guys. Born in 83, Im a huge 90's kid and enjoy the nostalgia and memories of they great era. Wish I could go back and live it again! Best times in life were before all the new age technology IMO. Glad I got to be part of it. Keep up the great work you do thank you for the amazing videos you put out.

[@chrisrj9871]

Born in '80, so I'm an 80s kid with _some_ 90s kid sprinkled in. That was when I was a kid, a teenager, and a young teen adult the entire time!

[@VixXstazosJOB]

You can, it's called Emulators though

[@BQuanchi]

I know they had to skip a new episode this week due to lack of releases, but this is great. More compilations is a great idea

[@Chaos89P]

I honestly didn't expect anything this week. Not even this.

[@jackplumley3308]

Agreed. They could easily do monthly compilation episodes for those who want to watch an extended episode with all releases for a given month

[@sergeib1233]

i'd rather see them cover the early 90s games they skipped by starting this series part way through 1992. where's the new releases from 1990, 1991 and the first few months of 1992?

[@ShadowStarDragon]

If there's ever a week without releases, anything like this or even just some sort of short video showing game commercials or the like and talking about those. 100% in.

[@64Bits]

Watching 'Now in the 90s' on a Saturday morning feels like a delicious nostalgia trip!

[@mjdf122]

Now In The 90s Best Series Going Thanks Jared And Dylan

[@Xhalonick]

Don't forget the writer!

[@meekestlife]

Great idea! Quarterly or Bi-yearly compilations would be an excellent thing to see going forward on this channel.

[@Dragoonnight]

Saw this and was like “oh neat, a compilation!” Then after like 10 minutes I’m like “how long is this?” Only to see it was over an hr! “Oh!” Proceeds to keep watching 🤣

[@nugboy420]

Needs a part two with all Dylan’s “quick” reviews.

[@Toadws85]

Dylan makes this show.....am I right??? Ive always enjoyed Jared since watching him way back in the day as well, but love the petty, witty editor Dylan! Keep up the great work!

[@DanielFerreira-ez8qd]

This is the best way to get me caught up on all the episodes, not gonna lie.

[@Fauxkerykes]

A Link to The Past was my favorite game as a kid. I played the GBA version for hours and hours. I would turn the game off,close my eyes, and still see the game. So many memories. Games like this really help make you think critically and aren't just mindless.

[@Raktasdelespacio]

I've just binged through this whole channel in the past few days... And I guess now I'm watching this video!

[@Broseftoast]

You know exactly what we want. Long videos about games from the 90s?? You guys just made another lifetime fan in me lol. Great stuff, happy Friday guys, hope you're all doing great.

[@Nuanceishard]

Jarad coming back with receipts is still such a top tear G moment. ❤

[@db_524]

Indeed

[@Hotsaucedeluxe]

Since you guys started in 2022 (1992), maybe you could do a longer show of notable titles released in 1991?

[@chrisrj9871]

I'd kinda like to see them make this a semi-weekly (2x a week?) series, where on Tuesdays they give us 25 years ago until 2025 when it converts to 35 years ago, switching from 1999 to 1990, and finishing it up faster. But I know that'd seem like a real handful. They probably wouldn't.

[@tyneishalewis9917]

What a nice surprise in my notifications! I know it was mentioned last week, there wouldn't be a new episode so seeing this video is wonderful. Just can't get enough of Now In the 90s! Would like to see more videos like this. If possible, would you cover '90 & '91?

[@gstein86]

Really look forward to every new episode. having this compilation on in the background while working is like a soothing white noise machine. we just didn't know how good we had it back then.

[@thevideogamebrothers3006]

Best gaming channel on KZbin. Nothing is even close.

[@Jee9106]

This is a great concept for the channel!

[@pharmcat8484]

I’m so glad they thought to not skip another week. I was holding my breath.

[@Absolutely_Nobody]

Jared talked about the music but failed to mention the best part of the NES Pool of Radiance! The theme song is incredible!

[@halestorm_01]

Nice, a compilation of 1992. That's good background noise!

[@mickeym4278]

This was fantastic. I absolutely love this series.

[@wowbagel42]

The D.A.R.E. fanny pack is a most excellent piece of flair. I'm right back in 6th grade again with this visual aid. Haha.

[@Domarius64]

9:35 God I love this retro fantasy style artwork too. It's so over the top, and it features super heroic men and women both wearing next to nothing in bad-ass poses on fantastic backgrounds. It may seem cheesy, and even back then it was seen as super cheesy by art snobs, but by golly it has its place, and I'd personally like to see more games done in a retro style with cover art like that. And yes, Boris Vallejo had a lot to do with popularising that style.

[@db_524]

Great compilation of Now in the 90’s: ‘92. ♥️👍

[@TAGanimation]

In the early 2010s, there was a brief resurgence of “Wacky Races” in my household because my brother said my mom’s laugh sounded like “that dog from the racing cartoon” lol.

[@pharmcat8484]

Muttley?

[@TAGanimation]

@@pharmcat8484 yes, lol

[@VixXstazosJOB]

One more ewird funny image for my conscience, at least that's real a funny one, you have a cool mom XD

[@mojobone5352]

This episode is a banger, as it were

[@chiba6110]

an hour!? Now you guys are just spoiling us

[@jayroi1814]

I live in Japan so Now in the 90s is my modern "Saturday Morning Cartoon(??)" lol, it comes out in the middle of the night for me so it's queued up t watch every Saturday without fail. I don't look forward to many routine things but I look forward to this channel's release every week.

[@Chummy8]

Rewatching this in August 2024 and it's still sad that no more videos are being made on this channel.

[@chrisdillon8376]

Sometimes I forget my kid's names, but I could sing that Crossfire track verbatim and in tune.

[@mrchrisknight315]

Specially liked this one, one of the longest videos I've seen from you guys, great stuff.

[@TigerNightmare]

I wish I could go back, don't want to be in 2023 anymore.

[@susanfit47]

I like the Rival Turf! box art for the Super NES from Jaleco USA, because this is the most 90's box art I can only think of. Leather jackets, backwards baseball caps. This is perfect. It worked too for these 2 guys. I also be like "What is this? From a failed audition to join the boy band group New Kids on the Block (NKOTB)? A magazine ad for Bugle Boy jeans? These guys are straight out of central casting for Nickelodeon's Salute Your Shorts." After all, who is the target audience going to find more intimidating than thugs their own age?" And here they are promoting a side-scrolling brawler beat 'em up platform game. The game's logo on the box set in Antique Olive Compact font. Born in late 86, I'm a 80's, 90's and 2000's guy. I'm a lifelong video game fan and the 90's was a great decade of gaming for me.

[@lemonfed]

right now it's a studio known as city connection that own the Jaleco games , yeah it's named after one Jaleco own game called city connection.

[@KnightLuciferZero]

I was born in 91 so I didn't get a chance to play these games. I was born and grew up in the 90s and that makes me happy.

[@houndofwinter]

loving the short commercial bumps between episodes

[@TaiWanWaf]

I’m feel lied to ! I prepared myself for no video this week and got an hour compilation xD thannk youuuuuu 💜

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Bring this show back 😭

[@dantedisbrow3987]

Love the compilation to fill a gap in game releases

[@davidslater4826]

It's nice to see how far gaming has come

[@Mystik3eb]

This was a fun idea, and I think you could develop it a little further. First of all, it definitely needs Dylan in it beyond minor editing cameos. Second, it might be better served as less of a sizzle reel of earlier content mostly copy-pasted into the video, and more of a Best Of compilation, featuring some memorable games, moments, or otherwise funny shit. Cuz you guys are funny! Let that part show more =)

[@AlucardHV]

Now in the 90s, my new comfort-food-like show... along with AVGN

[@thecunninlynguist]

Now in the hours! I cant wait tii we have more hours and i can make a nice playlist

[@adamlong9728]

You know what game I played the most for NES? It was called Trying to Get the System to Work. I used to play that game for hours. It was so challenging.

[@Podgemaster]

I thought I was going crazy when he said April. I should’ve read the title

[@Inochih]

I like when you showcase the different box art that were used over the world

[@arcadeages3917]

Glad I went to Jared. This was excellent

[@ManillaHeep]

Me and my brother played A Link to the Past religiously. We once found the Chris Houlihan room at random. I could not believe my eyes.

[@anthonyw754]

I really did enjoy this! thank you

[@steelcurtain187]

Great job on this one guys

[@TheCreepypro]

nice to have a video like this!

[@Spiderboydk]

2:26 As a kid, I found the error room by accident. I was very confused, lol.

[@mr.pinckney]

Absolutely need to get some videos covering 1990 and 1991 somehow.

[@greggnuber5966]

What is this about it being hard to find that room in Zelda. I get sent to that room all the time. I didn't know it was hard to find or that there was an technique to find it.

[@Keldroc]

Julie Bell did do the Alisia Dragoon art. And she also did the Eternal Champions box art, not Boris. You can tell because she signed it "Julie" in the lower right.

[@mattm7798]

Can you eventually do 1990 and 1991?

[@raidomegnuo2868]

Always wondering the same. But to be specific: also very early '92.

[@Jee9106]

Was just thinking.. Maybe they'll get to it in 2030 and 2031 😅

[@spahr001]

11:00 Despite horrible graphics, 'Pools of Radiance' for the NES was pretty awesome!

[@adams4244]

What did we call a CRT television in 1992? A Tv

[@Obstreperous_Octopus]

0:30:47 did he just put a ghost in jail???

[@CloudDany]

I really enjoyed re watching this episodes

[@joeyfarris2543]

The Double Dragon cartoon was awesome 😎🐉🐉👍👍😎

[@Octokaizer]

I legitimately spent the first 5 minutes going "wait, didn't i already watch this?" I guess that's what happens when you don't read titles. Now to watch the rest.

[@wafflerman]

oh neat a compilation video

[@RadimuxCisco]

I just saw that it is one hour. I will watch it later. I have a podcast to watch in a little bit.

[@jupreindeer]

I played Arcana last year. It was sort of a nostalgia trip of the time I had rented the game. Both times, I never needed to restart over the loss of a character. Had a couple close calls. And it has this super attack mechanic that I only used on bosses... because it was there. Did I even need to use that feature? I felt the answer was a firm no. Still, loved every minute of its short play session and I agree that the difficulty was not excessively high. A fun game. Perhaps I will revisit it in twenty years or so.

[@SportsPlug-cp1eq]

This is nuts you know everything about this Era

[@jeggitv]

That news network doing the F-Zero thing should have replaced the guy who exploded in the car for like, a week, as a joke. lol

[@Stiner75]

I want to state that I found the Chris Houlihan room once before Nintendo ever published anything about it. I was fighting Ganon, fell down the gap at the edges of the room, and suddenly I was there. I was so confused.

[@MentalLiberation]

Ah good, a nice long form video to play in the background..... or Watch all over again. See you next week folks. EDIT: also, a great way to use the algorithm. I Have a friend who made a longform video or two and now has a bunch of new subscribers.

[@josephjennings3146]

38:28 = Yo i swear this felt like the editor did that. and i am not sure but if that is REAL, we need more news like that holy crap thats beautiful

[@parker469a]

I don't know about anybody else but when I was growing up even when I was allowed to pick a game to play a lot of the games I had seen in Electronic Gaming Monthly weren't being sold anywhere near where I lived.

[@chrisrj9871]

I was honestly hoping it would be a video about the 1992 games released before the first NIT90s, games of January-March, instead of a compilation of older videos. Maybe that should be a future project next time there's a "slow week". You can simplify it all you'd have to.

[@eyediealone1258]

Anybody else fight their friends or siblings to be Iron Man on the Avengers arcade?

[@pharmcat8484]

My siblings never wanted to play it with me.

[@LasseJ789]

I found it randomly as a kid one time, in Europe. I didn't know anything about the competition. I just thought sometimes you'd get into the rupee room.

[@waynedrew7074]

This is EPIC. Thank you Jared and Dylan

[@bolesoc7456]

a classic clip show is sooo 90s!!

[@highborn18]

Link to the Past is my favorite Zelda game as well!

[@janneaalto3956]

Don't know how it was elsewhere, but I think I recall Alisia Dragoon getting a relatively good amount of attention at least in finnish and british gaming magazines. I do know it has been acclaimed here in Finland (by sega people at least) since the 90's.

[@GameAW1]

Well, if there aren't any games released this week in 1993 then might as well have a compilation or filler episode.

[@KittStargazer]

I totally knew the instant he asked about if we knew there was a Double Dragon Cartoon that he'd follow it up with "It sucked" lol

[@zombieowen]

The first game I ever bought came out for the Gameboy in December 1992. I wonder if it'll get covered.

[@denahomchikn89]

kzbin.info/aero/PLEo4XoJKf554bKHsZqvTu-yeULppuwrWF You can find the December 92 episdes here. These were from last year

[@ThaetusZain]

actually somewhat surprised more Neo Geo games didn't release for the console first like Ninja Commando. While they are basically the same, the Arcade machine are marketed towards businesses. So it would be great marketing if your cousin's rich friend has an awesome game, and then it's in walmart 6 weeks later. Also they'd probably just ship quicker since the other is an arcade cabinet.

[@MrWholewheat]

Sweet! This'll keep me busy.

[@adventuretaco7140]

The 52 in Bee 52 is a pun on the military bomber the B-52 stratofortress

[@osgeld]

wow that zelda commercial... respectable video quality in the capture, but holy bathtub audio batman

[@laurenkapes6381]

Mutant Virus actually reminds me of mine sweeper for some reason.

[@JaiOva]

3:08 I still play link to the past on my tablet through an emulation app. #RetroGamerLife

[@Sethrain]

I completely forgot that last week you said there were no releases this week. 😆

[@legodawg2001]

Did they every cover Dragon Slayer the Legend of Heroes? That came out in America in December of 1992 and I don’t remember them covering it in any show they did

[@MrMrpeters74]

Pretty sure Ys Books 1&2 predates Cosmic Fantasy 2 and it also had voice acting in their cut scenes. Ys was released in 1990.

[@juiceala]

I saw a new video of Now in the 90s of one hour and thought Editor Dylan was dragging his segment again.

[@JohnJ77777]

great vid

[@NoahNCopeland]

18:06 probably "no time, no moneyness"

[@dnakatomiuk]

I miss the 90s especially with the Sega vs Nintendo wars my brother was Nintendo and me Sega. But going round to your friends house to play was awesome i remember getting Mk3 for Christmas and going round to play it. Playing co-op games like Streets of Rage, Road Rash etc Some of these games i dont even know of and mags i would buy didnt mention some of these how sad. And those games bot having many copies on cartridge anymore either

[@blockfrog]

Nice sealed copy of Earthbound!

[@neoku84r.p.g93]

I wanted that crossfire game so bad when I was little.

[@zachariahsmith9130]

Getting a weapon in a dungeon has always been a zelda thing lol.
