The Ninja Gaiden arcade continue screen is legendary. It never gets old!

[@ScrapKing73]

IMO, the all-time ultimate same game, different name, is “Splinter Cell: Double Agent”. The 6th generation version is based on the idea of two agents working together in co-op. The 7th generation version is entirely different, and is based on the idea of one agent working for two organizations.

some of music of game it feels llike classic bethoven level. for example on forest boss music. it very familliar. in nead end level of game spacey music become surreal. ı cant forget about when you get final boss to save pricness she turn demon and there is shock music on there.

There's a KZbin channel named Same Name, Different Game which is coincidentally run by a guy named Joe. He's been around for 15 years, has great content and is criminally overlooked. (Less than 15K subscribers.) Just wanted to point him out. He deserves so much more! ❤

I’d like to mention Disney’s Donald Duck Goin’ Quackers, despite the game sharing the same title and cover art on multiple consoles each version is a completely different game, at least the ones I played (Playstation/Dreamcast/Gamecube) each is a whole new game.

[@benjaminmuratore9341]

I have a lot of personal nostalgia for the PC version of that game. I remember that I did play the GameCube version once and was surprised by the differences in terms of graphics and presentation.

[@juiceala]

@@benjaminmuratore9341 I grew up with the DC version and my friend had the PS1 version, at the time I thought it’s the same game with lower graphics but it’s a whole different game.

Back in the early 2000’s I worked at a Chuck E Cheese location with that Jurassic Park Arcade machine. One of the best parts of my day was testing it out each shift to make sure it was working properly…till it stopped working properly.😢

Awesomeness Episode. Awesome Channel Joe. I can't believe this channel hasn't hit the Million Subscriber Mark yet. Your Channel is hands down my number one for Retro Games now.

[@epicon6]

21:48 you don't actually have to eat the bombs when you land on them because you can pick up any items you land on and even pick up enemies, so you can land on a bomb, pick it up and throw it away.. Like in many games from this generation many important gameplay aspects are included in the manual and not easily found by just playing the game. I always read the manual before playing a new Genesis game because most likely i would miss something useful. The manual reads: Button A(Action) Makes Taz pick something up. Move Taz next to a creature or item and press A to pick it up. B button makes Taz throw something he's holding. Taz-Mania on the Genesis is still one of my favorite games. I have finished it over 80 times propably. One tip for players who havenmt played it, when you get to the cave level with the mining cart don't get frustrated because you have a ton of continues and it's a fun sequence to memorize where yout have to slow down and speed up. In theory anyone can finish the game in 2-3 playthroughs so it's not a difficult game although few parts require good timing.

[@ytjaymz-x]

5:00 it's worth noting that in the arcade cabinets for this game, it was shaped like a Jurassic Park Jeep and had a moving seat. Tons of fun to play back in the day

[@BiffMcSkylark]

Me and my mom played the arcade Jurassic Park in a Chuck E Cheese until completion. It's a super core memory in gaming for me. The set up was the back of the Jurassic Park Jeep and the seat you sat on had hydraulics that moved the seat up and down as if you were being driven through the rough environments and terrain. Absolutely a dream arcade game for me if I ever had the space.

[@Quimbyrbg]

That's a cool memory to have with your Mum. Fingers crossed that you get your mansion and JP cabinet.

[@bischoffdev]

Wow, two of my all-time favorites in one episode: the 8-Bit "Castle of Illusion" and "Rocket Knight Adventures". I love it!

[@gluttonousmaximus9048]

Master System Ninja Gaiden had really REALLY relentless enemy patterns and stage designs but that bullschnizzle is almost excused by a likely unintended exploit of an already forgiving feature: You don't lose magic points to use in special Ninjitsu attacks after countless game overs, and once you rack up to 999 MP, it NEVER goes down, and paired with something like the heat-seeking fireball you basically have infinite missile ammo. That's how I managed to beat the final boss of the ONLY Ninja Gaiden game I ever cleared.

[@gluttonousmaximus9048]

The thing is, if you know the ins and outs of the wall-jumping mechanic, it can be quite a blessing if you're knocked into a pit. QUICK, THERE'S A WALL, HOLD A AND HUG IT AND I'm back in the game baby! However there are also many times where my character just falls into a vast pit of nothing.

[@roberto1519]

"relentless enemy patterns", funny you say that, it can be beaten in your first sitting and the relentless enemy patterns is really a NES thing for many, many games on that system. I'm not a super player but I can't agree anyone saying the SMS release is difficult, it has very few tricky spots and you can actually end this game using your reflexes, while the NES release can only be beaten by muscle memory, to the point it's not even fun and becomes a job if someone try to beat it.

If you mean games that have a different gameplay/style in different platforms (like *Moonwalker),* or just reboots/remakes with the same name (like *Residen Evil 2),* or sequels with the same name of the first title (like *Mortal Kombat)...* you can easily make at least 10 more episodes.

Great video Joe; but I'm shocked that you didn't cover the Turbo Grafx 16 version of Ninja Gaiden.

I hopped into the comments to whine about the same omission! Is it because it's technically "Ninja Ryukenden" and not "Ninja Gaiden"? Either way, I loved this episode! Thanks for the incredible content, Joe!

[@nickparsons337]

@@HunterEBryant Honestly, Joe will have to clear that one up. Either way the Turbo Grafx 16 version of Ninja Gaiden is still just a sort of reimagined version of the NES version with strange parallax scrolling and while play able; no version can compete with the NES version.

One of my favorite YT channels. The Jurassic Park game for Mega CD actually could be considered the most expensive game of that era, seeing as Sega of America built their Multimedia Studios for tens of millions of Dollars (in 1993s money) and this is the only game they made, as far as I am aware.

[@SomeOrangeCat]

That's because it was before the era of failing upwards.
