I worked at a brick and mortar video-game store at the time these games released. Unusually Sony sent their own sales rep and if my memory serves me well, we placed orders directly from Sony (it's been 30 years, the end skit is too real!). We gave them 1.5 meters of the street facing window display (of a total of about 12m). The Sony guy was very happy with us and when they eventually released the Playstation we got a lot of perks like an early Japanese machine with Ridge Racer. Store ended up using almost 70% of the shelf space for PS1 games, with the rest being PC and some N64 after most of the old stuff was phased out. Sony played a long game and it paid off.

lol different time back then. In Minnesota we had FuncoLand and Electronics Boutique, and you could see back then who's bread was getting buttered. It was usually either Sony, or Nintendo (FuncoLand tended to have the better Sony kiosks, while EB and Toys R Us had better Nintendo displays.) That mid 90s time was magical, because gaming just seemed to be getting soooo futuristic. You went from stuff like the Genesis, Super NES, TurboGrafx, and early Neo Geo, to Saturn, Nintendo 64, Playstation, 3DO, CD-I, Pippin (remember that?!?), and late Neo Geo.

Really makes you wonder how anyone could be optimistic about a Sony console in the early-mid 90s...! They don't really seem to have their fingers on the pulse of the industry from what they're publishing here. From seeing this, to me it kind of looks like their success in leveraging established Japanese developers looking for another avenue is a big part of what saved the PlayStation... Although, I think western devs did start to come into their own a bit more into the late 16bit & 32bit era in the console space. Either way, funny to see how spotty their pre-Playstation catalogue is. If this is what a Sony console looked like they may have gone the way of the 3DO and others. Also, Joe bringing back the classic, "There's X for ya" outro. Nice.

We went apeshit over Sensible Soccer and even more over Sensible World of Soccer, because on the systems we played it, it was freaking awesome. This game is made to be played with a joystick and a joypad simply won't do. D-pad takes away so much of your control of the aftertouch on the ball, that it's not even funny. The World of soccer sequel had a player, player manager, or just manager option for career mode and contained an absurd number of real teams with their respective rosters, like I could play my home town team (a town of only 30k people) in Greek league. It is one of the top 10 most influencial games of all time according to a list compiled by Stanford University Science and technologies curator and a team of game designers, journalists and researchers, and has its own spot in a museum in Zurich. All in all there were more than 1500 real teams and 27000 players in the 2-disc Amiga floppy version

@@jimkrom oh yeah Cannon Fodder might be my all-time favorite Amiga game, period. First time I ever played an RTS, even though it was a very different kind of game from Dune II and the likes. Really opened my eyes when it came to what games could do beyond arcadey/console stuff, point and click adventure games, and driving/flight sims. It was the first time I saw a strategy game that had elements of action in it, that didn't feel slow-paced or like it required a giant manual like the military sims and turn-based games my brother played. Yeah it was brilliant. One of the best games of that era. Certainly Sensible Software's best, and one of the Amiga's best. And you really needed a mouse to really get the proper experience.

I didn't understand where the disks went, as I was sitting on the left side of the Amiga and it had the built-in drive on the right side. It was jaw dropping, beautiful game, looked, sounded and played like anything I've seen before that. This was around 30 years ago and I still love this game and because of that I have multiple copies of it on multiple system (yes, also on the SNES).

I can't believe I never noticed how similar Skyblazer is to Hook until you pointed it out! It definitely feels like a spiritual sequel---the protagonist looks and moves almost exactly like Peter in that game, just with differently coloured clothes. Overall, before the PlayStation Sony was a B-tier publisher at best, releasing mostly licensed trash, FMV games and euro jank that should have stayed on the Amiga. Back in the '80s, before Imagesoft, Sony did publish a couple dozen titles for MSX computers in Japan (they also had their own line of MSX computers). It was mostly ports, so while less "forward-looking" than the Imagesoft output (they were really pushing for cinematic games,) it's generally of a bit higher quality.

I can tell you're really bitter about Mode 7 for whatever reason. Haha Also, you might think that Mickey Mania on Genesis is better than the SNES version in every way, but that's not entirely accurate. Yes, it is in fact the better game overall, but there are many times where the SNES version has more colours (nowhere near as much or often as it could have mind you), some times where it has proper transparency that's missing on the Genesis version, and times where it has more backgrounds layers for additional parallax. It's also not even running in FastROM on SNES, meaning it's stuck running at only 70% full CPU speed, so it definitely could have ran faster/smoother too if that was implemented properly there. The missing hurricane level and any other missing details also could have been added, as well as the loading times either greatly reduced or removed entirely, if the game had been given the extra development time that was afforded to the Genesis version, which is when they added most of that stuff in there. I mean, history is what it is and can't be changed, but it does show that if the developer actually pushed every aspect of the game on SNES to the same level as it did on Genesis, the SNES version could have actually matched and even surpassed the Genesis version in many ways (not all, but many). Anyway, that SNES version absolutely could have at least looked noticeably better pretty much across the board for sure if given the same amount of love and attention. But, hey, what ifs. As it is, the Genesis version is better than the SNES version. And that's that.

I had some fond memories of enduring Flash Back in the early 90s.

Yeah, I still own my Genesis copy. I always liked the rotoscope technique in it and Another World/Out of This World. You can actually play them both on newer consoles.

1:50 Sony definitely Morbed the NES to the Max with this cross-reference. It’s Morbin’ time! 🔥😎

For me? Just about the best HiFi stereo system EVER... that's what Sony was for me before the Playstation. Dual tape deck, the latest in turntable technology (for the mid 1980's, anyway), built in EQ... came in it's own cabinet with a glass door. Seriously... I lament that damned thing not staying in my family as an heirloom. But my mom sold it at a yard sale.

I just learned that some of these NES games were code ported from the Gameboy versions. Hook and Dracula are perfect examples.

I can only hear "Damivan Breadberry/I'm Ethan Breadberry" when I listen to the N. E. S. Dracula soundtrack, and that's because of a YTPMV called "Trapped in a Social Experiment".

Amiga Flink is actually designed with 60Hz in mind. It has a video mode option for Europeans who own decent tvs. I wouldn't call ESPN Hockey Night on Sega CD the better sounding version as it clearly uses background audio from a basketball game... Complete with squeaking shoes. :D

With Dracula and many other games, it's clear that Probe Software have some skilled Z80 coders - so the Master System versions end up being pretty good. Helps that the Master System hardware is pretty well suited to enhanced NES games, if your team knows the hardware and has Z80 experience.
