This was a great video. Thanks for letting the sound of the games. Please next time include the name of the games in the timestamps, not just a number

[@MaxAbramson3]

What a great list, brah. Top notch. I'd forgotten some of these games. Of course, after the Genesis hit 20 million active consoles (not counting the Nomad), third party devs pushed this machine toward its limits to compete. Great machine. Great platform!

[@sweetNomi-tv2pe]

Where are you foram

[@VladLeshchenko]

I hope people discover this video! This is a true love of Sega!

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

[@JumbleTasteSpinning]

1994 was my best year in my life too! wow what a lifetime back.... mortal kombat 2, street fighter, another world, and movies.... i will give anything to go back to 1994.

Bad year for Nirvana though lol. But agreed, I often mention 1994 by name.

A video for men in their forties.. I was smiling stupidly for the whole video.. Thank you for the amazing memories

[@poncho828]

Great list! The Genesis is such a great system.

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

Thanks a lot! These games still hold up so well! They are timeless!

[@iansims2984]

My top 4 megadrive games all have 2 in the title. 1. Streets of rage 2 2. Speedball 2 brutal deluxe 3. Street fighter 2 special championship edition 4. Sonic 2 Great video the Sega Megadrive is also my favourite console of all time 👍

[@handrewmillan4293]

ive been watching retro game videos of all sorts for the past few years and you really knocked this out of the park. great list with it being personalized, the commentary and how its delivered, even the clips... i swear everyone else is just taking their gameplay clios from some stock footage source. you show gameplay moments and scenes that no one else shows and youre not scared to play ghe game music. love it man hope to see lots more from u

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

Great comment! Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it. I put a lot of heart and soul into this episode so I'm happy that you got a lot of enjoyment out of it. I knew they're be someone out there that would connect to it. Sega for life! - Wesker

[@handrewmillan4293]

@@greatmentakingovertheworld4800 your hard work is greatly appreciated 🙏🙏🙌

[@OmarDiaz-fg5nm]

Great Concept for a channel and great selection of games, best of success on this new endeavor.

[@chrisfern4699]

Great list 👍! My top 25 in no order: Phantasy Star 4 Shining Force ll Shinobi lll Gunstar Heros Crusader of Centy Alien Soldier Pulseman Sonic3&Knuckles Streets of Rage 3 Beyond Oasis Castlevania: Bloodlines Rocket Knight Adventures Monster World:4 Herzog Zwei Toejam and Earl Contra: Hard Corps Ranger X Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Streets of Rage 2 Ristar Sonic The Hedgehog Hog Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie Comic Zone Shining Force LandStalker

[@oldiegoodman]

Great list. Genesis was my childhood console and I wouldn't have it any other way.

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

Thanks! Same here. It provided a fantastic childhood. It was meant to be

[@zeroXshinobi]

Massive video with massive insane quality! Wesker has great taste in games 😂

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

Yo Zero! Thanks a lot! Wesker would appreciate your appreciation! lol He went all out on this one for sure! I really enjoyed it too. I agree, great picks. Hope you're doing well man!

[@gabebautista2978]

I was a snes kid growing up, but this video shows me what I missed out on. Great video and good sense of humor. On the fatalities 😂

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

Thanks for watching man! I appreciate your words. I was on the other side of the fence. I was a Sega kid and SNES was my mortal enemy! But they're both great systems which we can appreciate as adults. - Wesker

[@shanenice5380]

I liked them both.sega and super Nintendo still worked today u can't beat that

[@King-wc2ox]

Awesome list! 26:18 good to see Fifa international soccer on the list, i still play this game sometimes with my brother to this day!

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

Thanks a lot! That's so cool! Goes to show how these great games still hold up, doesn't it? Thanks for watching!

[@bsiferd]

Bro, 94 is still considered the best year of my life as well probably because of gaming

[@HermannTheGreat]

Just thinking back to the Mall atmosphere, arcades, miniature golf, going to the movies, no cellphones, cartoons and SNES/Sega with dozens of games released every year, all better and better ever year.

[@cloudair4154]

classic video.. my favorite genesis game is comix zone.. i got it back in like 95 or 96.. its just a beautiful game and nothing can compete with it in my opinion!

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

Comix Zone, interesting! Yes the game looks and play well, but man is it brutal! I'll have to go back and give it a proper shot one of these days and see if I enjoy it more. Thanks for watching Cloud Air! - Ren

[@jasonbledsoe6676]

Yes, I like a lot of games on this list, but I was sure Comix Zone be in top 10, top 5.. that game was crazy... never beat it as a kid, but I did as adult on an Xbox 360 Sega Collection!

[@live_monkey2485]

Totally agree with your number 1 spot and everything you say about it. This game was a huge part of my childhood. It blew me away.

[@MrFlex5]

Loved your passion about Sonic 3 & Knuckles.. I felt that. And I agree 100%. I'm born in 1981,so this was my era as well. Maximum nostalgia! Great list, I had Streets Of Rage2 and Shinobi ranked higher though. 😅 Toejam & Earl, and Forgotten Worlds slaps too!

[@thehumbleone1983]

Great list of games for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive as I also love and grew up with the Gen/Md console one of my favourites ❤️🕹👍

[@48hourrecordsteam45]

Here go my 25 must own must play .!! doing this breaks my heart Because I’m realizing, even a 25 games list is not enough to do on genesis , there is way too many games that fight for positions and too many games will be left out 1.

I can go on and on and on 😭 😭 😭 Bring back the genesis sega. Make the svp lock on cart And add shoulder buttons to the controller and lengthen the handles and round them for comfort grip

[@USERA15]

Sonic 3&knucles the best

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

So good!

[@KingStr0ng]

Facts 🎯

[@RoboCop-zn8bt]

Great list! 1995 was the best year of my life. I've played and beaten all these games except eternal champions( hardest fighting games I've ever played) and the RPGs. I love Sega

[@raymondfranklin6478]

So much passion for Sega in this video. Immediately subscribed after watching, I loved this. Ordered vector man as well to give it a shot, thanks for the recommendation 🙌

[@benrichards6087]

That sonic & knuckles cartridge was unique AF, you could connect sonic 2&3 to it to play as knuckles (my fave) in those games. Great review man, enthusiasm was off the charts!

[@Boswd]

Missed outon the nhl 96 back in the day in college we played the sheet out of 95 so many great memories in our house. We would play that before we all went out for the night and then come back play that and Sonic drunk as sheet. so much fun.

[@XBC3-4GOTY]

The Sega Genesis is my 4th Favorite VideoGame Console of All Time

[@TimBitten]

When I first asked for my Genesis as a kid, I said, confidently: “As long as it comes with Sonic, I will never need any other game.” 😂

[@whotocord]

Pretty Good List. I think I still like Desert Strike best out of the Strikes. I have nostalgic vibes for Taz-Mania and Chakan, as they were games my father gave me, upon returning from a business trip. Also, I laugh at Cyborg Justice alot. It's ridiculous how the robots strut like Mick Jagger.

[@rwicker83]

Pretty solid list of Genesis games! I enjoyed a ton of these titles as a kid. The only title I was hoping to see was the OG Rocket Knight Adventures! Great video! 🙌

[@blindmanplays]

This is superb thank you for sharing :D

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@randycruel]

I love your list. This is a REAL top Genesis KZbin games list. You can tell it’s from a proud Genesis owner and fan. History has been rewritten on KZbin when it comes to the Genesis (Gunstar Heroes is the greatest Genesis game… SNES was more popular…. DK Country was legendary while Vectorman was trash…. Today’s terrible sports game mean that 16 bit sports game are no longer top tier games…. I could go on and on). But videos like these restore the facts and the truth. Seeing NHL and Street Fighter in a top 5 is so refreshing. Great video man. This was how it really was. Not post AVGN Genesis history.

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

I totally agree! The truth is out there now!

[@1stdanclaire]

Imagine the strike games fully remade now with all the dedestruction and missions.

[@damin9913]

Sega genesis is the only console i enjoy no other console can entertain me like the sega genesis can😍

[@KingStr0ng]

Same bro

[@Aubrey_2_Hotty]

Great list, just discovered this video. Been playing my Genesis mini a lot and SF2:SCE still rocks. Growing up I only had Vanilla SF2 on SNES. I got a Genesis after a SNES and got SCE, turned the hyper speed all the way up, and was like WTF THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN MISSING!!!!!

[@eduardolopes7740]

Amazing List! I missed Wonder Boy games

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

Eternal Champions! YES! So few people actually know this game! LOVED IT! Road Rash! SWEET! My brother and I would play this game and drink beer and howl with laughter at how bad we were playing! Now I want to hook up my old Sega! Thank You!

[@4713Caine]

in terms of brawlers, Streets of Rage 2 is EXTREMELY dificult to top: from the graphics, to the sound, to the music, to it's overall presentation. I'd argue Capcom actually DID top it in 1994 with ALIENS VS PREDATOR the arcade game. If you haven't played it, you gotta try it.

[@dat6mail]

We didnt have a ton of sega games but Road Rash, Sonic 2 and NHL96 got played the most

[@dvforever]

I put a lot of hours into NHL 96. It was an addictive game.

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

that's all you need!

[@gabetafoya3936]

Great video! It amazes me that all of these best of genesis videos never mention some of my favorites of the generation which are Rocket Knight, Comix Zone, Cyborg Justice, Combat Cars, X-men 2 Clone Wars and Adventures of Batman and Robin. I was more of a SNES kid, but Genesis had some good stuff too!

[@LovellArt]

Great List! So many gems.. NO THUNDERFORCE IV though!!! :O

[@doggyd5874]

I'm a Nintendo fan since my childhood: It was magic, NES was my first console.. and then the Gameboy, SNES, N64. In the same time, I admit that I was also jealous of my Sega friends because of The Ninja (MasterSystem), Sonic and Quackshot (Megadrive). I also remember that I was so enthousiast when I saw the Jurassic Park and Moonwalker games, playable in my theatre. My first Sega console was the Game Gear with Mortal Kombat and NBA JAM, sooooo much fun. And later I came back to Sega with the Saturn, that I loved and defended against Playstation. Nintendo, Sega, SNK, Nec had great devises with a lot of differences and specialities. I'm so happy to have known these wonderful periods. Anyway, I admit that now I play much more on my Megadrive than on Super Nintendo :) Getting older, I like so much the Sega spirit in arcade/action/sport games

[@LUCIFERrilo]

Mutant League Football never gets any love, it’s one of my favorite games on the Genesis.

[@ventiankraus980]

94 was the year I turned 9 and the last year I legitimately liked until I turned to Christ nearly 30 years later. Great list without all the usual suspects. Video definitely needs more views. ✌️ 👽 👍

[@julianvermund3951]

I loved Airbuster on Sega Genesis! Loved it even more than Gradius 3 from SNES. The chaos in some sections of Airbuster was SO FUN!

[@CobraShuttle]

Decent list as a SNES lover back in the day, and now hacking my Genesis Mini to play games I missed out on. Gotta stop using the filter on the emulators! So far MUSHA, Skeleton Krew and Gauntelt IV are my favorites.

[@joshbrekke6374]

The Immortal, Truxton, Arnold Palmer Golf, Ghouls & Ghosts, Forgotten Worlds. For those of us who got ours in 1989. Are a few early ones we really liked. Great list however it’s definitely not mine. Many great ones! The Sega Genesis library is so vast & great. However there are many SNES greats as well. I love both systems actually.

[@magicaltingles]

nice shades

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

Wesker represent! 😎

[@VladLeshchenko]

For real though! 😎

[@TheWarmotor]

46K views, 2.41K subs? How do those numbers work? Glad I discovered the channel, hope Wesker is still making videos...

[@eon-one2182]

Love you man

[@franco7363]

Interesting list. No shumps? Gaiares is crying in a corner lol Fun video to watch tho! Tnx!

[@minimoe2807]

Being a good deal older then you I played Sonic, the first one, my senior year of High School. So for me, just based on pure nostalgia alone, I absolutely love that game. I have played the others but, by then my gaming days were coming to an end. Until I got into retro gaming several years back. Great video, your excitement is contagious.

[@TimBitten]

The best Genesis game people haven’t played is Starflight!! It takes some learning at first but it’s sooooo worth it

[@leegsy]

Interesting list. I have quite a few of these games in my own collection.

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

Yo leegsy! These are definitely the games to have! haha Thanks for watching!

[@nathanmontega8181]

This list is GOLD!!! I just never liked vector man, baseball, soccer

[@cloudair4154]

contra hard corps is ultra hard... i turn it on and my character is dead in 30 seconds

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

Yeah tell me about it. Contra games are no joke!

[@thinkhector]

General tip: When playing hard old school games, try to beat the Japanese version of the game first. Also set them to easy, and max out your lives. For example, in Contra Hard Corps, the Japanese version gives you a life bar and unlimited continues. Come back to the American version and will be amazed how much better you are once beating the Japanese version.

[@keymo9480]

Nice list!!!!

[@FelipeCarrasco-p7j]

Phantasy star is just great, the entire series are just so original and pure, top 5 at least xD

[@bsiferd]

I started getting into KMFDM win. This game came out, and I thought streets of rage three was far better than the others.

[@RibbonPL]

What an awesome video! Subbed!

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

Really appreciate it! Thank you!

[@gonxalves63]

Obrigado por este presente. O vídeo me prendeu do início ao fim. Parabéns e continua com esses videos que sao espetaculares 😂. Meu jogo na época São muitos mas eu me vejo a jogar até hoje o Jungle Strike. Mission Complete!😅

[@petejones6827]

when you hit a downed rider and jump like 2 miles lol i love road rash

[@roccomitchell-wo9qi]

I 100 percent approve of this whole list cause I played mostly all of these games and let me tell you I love it ❤

[@daboys00]

Idk man, this list is utterly amazing. I would’ve added Super Hang on (the original)

[@XBC3-4GOTY]

My Top 10 Sega Genesis Mini Games are: 10. Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusion 9/10 9. CastleVania:Bloodlines 9/10 8. Beyond Oasis 9/10 7. Alisia Dragoon 9/10 My Sleeper Gem 💎 6. Phantasy Star IV 9/10 5. Shinobi 3: Return of the Ninja Master 10/10 4. Sonic The Hedgehog 2 10/10 3. Shining Force 10/10 2. Gun Star Heroes 10/10 1. Streets of Rage 2 10/10

[@Doorknob15]

Finnaly a list that anknowledges sonic 3's exsistance

[@Shinobi15]

You missed out on Quack shot, Tiny Toons adventures, Punisher, Wwf, sunset riders, Brian Lara cricket…

[@arcadeslum5882]

solid list.... sf2 was trash though on the genesis. Biggest purchase regret as a child. ($74 in the 90s!)

[@frontyardmechanicdiyall4268]

i had all of those games and my favorite one was Gunstar heros

[@Geofferymchugh]

For me it was dune the battle for arrakis, shining force. Phantasy star two, ecco the dolphin and of course toejam and earl

[@AntLeonardi01]

So far I see shinobi 3 as number 18. Can’t imagine what the top 5 are

[@scollurio]

Love Sega. But was a SNES kid. Im Glad I can now enjoy what I missed out in back in the day. As for the best console ever? With no nostalgia or retro love probably 360, the last generation before games as a service first day patches and stupid dlc prices went completely bonkers and games just keep repeating themselves. That said, Sega Genesis has a special magic to it, unique to nothing else. ❤

[@angryretrogamer7313]

Good video👍

[@ElectronStarCollapse]

I definitely can't argue against Nights being in the top spot. My surprise is that D's sequel Enemy Zero didn't make it even to the low end of the list. I guess I forgive its flaws more than others.

[@TheMuffinMan96]

Eternal Champions would have made a great movie!

[@gumpyflyale2542]

I played through the lost world jurrasic park all the way it's a great game on the sega genesis

[@guyverjedi]

tbh your list is very close to what id have chosen. Only i loved Thuner Force 3 to add to the list. the game was pritty basic however the music was awsome.

[@Ahd_03r]

Add to these games street of rage 1 sunset riders golden axe 1-2-3 mickey mouse castle of illusion Comix zone quack shot 007 shitou

[@SuperHns]

I think the MD/Genesis version of MK2 is grittier, I love SNES/Arcade versions as well but Genesis/Megadrive version is not bad at all

[@juancarodriguez7134]

great video bro thanks

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@timecapsule5604]

Mine was the Atari Vcs which i got for Christmas in 77'but id have to agree that this system came out in 89' when me and my future wife would play all night well on weekends anyway and then my son was born in 91' and reminds me how much fun i had at the time playing video games only other time u had closento that much fun was at 13 or 14 when i completed my C64 setup

[@henokhsatrio8804]

Sonic 3 is the best! Still in my top 10 game of all time!

[@laron.henderson]

Road Rash was that deal!

[@mjkl614]

Glad I played phantasy stars 2, 3 and 4 when I was little, shining force and Langrisser series were super dope too

[@0Cordarro]

I loved road rash

[@miriamalmeida6687]

1 worlder boy 4.2 shinobi 3.4 sonic 2.5 beond of oases.6 ristar .7 stret of rage 2

[@killbotone6210]

You bring up the point I've heard again and again for 30 years. Games just ran smother and faster on the genesis than the snes.

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

Truth!

[@draganapetrovic890]

Number 1 is a lock on

[@caio.delira]

Sorry but Shinobi's 3 original soundtrack aren't Koshiro's. These are the composers: Hirofumi Murasaki Morihiko Akiyama Masayuki Nagao But it is really an amazing OST!

[@pixelpix5168]

I give you a yellow card for appreciate Eternal Champion 😀

[@timecapsule5604]

Got mine in 89' with Altered Beast but then also got the Super Nintendo when that came out had to have the Mario games but other than that really I enjoyed and still do The Sega Genesis system and games better just because i was older maybe i was 20 in 89' so i lived gory games fast shooters action platformers and to me no system did it better than the Sega Genesis at least in cartridge

[@oggamer735]

NHL 95 was first where you could make youre own player. That is why it was the best. Still love it.

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

Yeah, you're right. NHL 95 is absolutely great! I played it first. But I came to prefer the faster gameplay of NHL 96!

[@mousey_2]

Is this the game that was played in the movie Surf Ninjas? 🤣

[@markdevlin3630]

Ecco the Dolfin is top 3 sega game imo. Good list tho.

[@magicwordxyzzy]

While I agree with Sonic 3 & Knuckles being number 1, number 2 should have been Crusader of Centy; it's the quintessential Zelda knockoff for the Genesis.

[@gavindixon5403]

Super monaco gp was mine

[@adamantium4797]

Good games

[@MichaelLawliet-si4yv]

Why does shining force always get overlooked
