Can't recall how much I played it. Never played arcade games, so my standards were low. Yeah, those flashing ghosts were pretty annoying.

So.. the modding community goes way back....

Well giving that the gaming industry was young at the time, no one really knew what to watch out for. Other factors, such as lack of publishing control, meant that you had a lot of lower quality games on the market that cause gamers to steer away from certain brands of PC and Consoles even though they were known be excellent. Then, there was flooded market which I think that did them in. Too many consoles and PC's where available and not enough shelve room to hold them in stores along with leaving consumers an idea, that boggled their mind, of what system to buy. It was hard lesson to learn, but thankfully since then, we have not had another market crash since.

I feel like you must not have even played the Jaguar at all if you think the keypad was inconvenient to use.

Bro slow down. You talk too fast to be able to smoothly immerse myself in this video.

Renting a game was more a pathway to potentially buying a game, Nintendo should've known better.

Consider making a video on the epically awful ET video game.

As a kid i love the game genie so much. Not only was there the book of codes but you could make up your own, was amazing.

Zelda 2 was the first game I bought with my own money. I absolutely loved it. Yeah, it was harder than the first game, but I enjoyed the changes and felt it really expanded on Hyrule and the whole story. It remains one of my favorite entries in the series.

My fave Zelda game. I love the difficulty and the gameplay style. I feel like metroidvania games are popular and alot of them are kinda hard to enjoy when you have competition like SoTN and Hollow knight. However I think some should probably draw inspiration from Zelda 2 with its combat having a focus on high/low thrusts and shielding and such. Fighting the knight enemies in Zelda 2 has an actual knight battle feel that other games don't have (yes I know you can cheese them with jump attacks, I refuse to do this, I fight them with honor!). That being said, I want someone to make a beatemup like Dragon's crown even more.. argh.

Sega cd and 32x were before their time and were a decent attempt at upgrading existing hardware. People are happily getting ripped off more today. Just imagine instead of paying £500 for a ps5 pro you could buy an add on to your original ps5 to make it to the same specs.

I was 11 and I got this mess for the 2600 as an early birthday present. I was for 10 minutes the hero in my neighborhood for I was the 1st to get it. Everyone on my block including older cool kids, girls, bullies shit I think the Mail Man was in my Kensington row home and as I slipped that ruiner of worlds piece of plastic crap I knew just by the cover on the cartridge then I turned it on and before I knew it I was the worst most pathetic dork that got bullied just for the game being so suck ass. I cried for 2 days and hid till the summer. ET had nothing on this flop.

To me, the most interesting thing about the Jaguar is that it’s housing is also used in some dental equipment, according to AVGN.

I never got that coupon! lol

Nintendo wanted strict quality choices. lol

I never noticed the colors... my basement TV for my Atari was a black&white TV

Blemish?? This game was beloved on the 2600 in my household and dozens of others in my town.

As a kid, I thought this game was great.

You got almost everything about Zelda 2 wrong. Good job, try playing the game before making factual statements about it.

Almost everything in this video is irrelevant - the Jaguar failed because it didn’t have games.

It was hideous-----but they rebounded nicely when they put out versions of Ms. Pac Man, Centipede, Joust, Dig Dug, and others arcade hits in the silver-label series (I think the equally wretched ET game was the first in this series), assumably after boosting the power to eight bits because the graphics were much better.

I have such fond memories of using the game genie with my nes.

Believe me I was greatly disappointed at the time too.

I played it as a kid and i got it again last year for my 2600+. I love it. I dont see whats so bad. Its the 2600, not like the 2600 had arcade hardware in it.

How can Link go on a journey for so long and not even have to goto a prostitute even once? How come?

I think Earthworm Jim and Uniracers could easily be on the next list.

As a little kid I loved this game! After playing this one first I later played the first one for the NES and was disappointed it didn't have such a cool fantasy world to explore. Zelda II took inspiration from the overarching fantasy epic movement in Hollywood at the time with movies like Willow, The Neverending Story, Conan The Barbarian, and The Dark Crystal.

I traded my snes for a Jaguar back then. I regretted it. I only had Cybermorph and one other game. I just remember being taken in by the 64-BIT POWER! I think my Jaguar was ruined when the basement flooded. Now days I wish I still had it if anything for collectors status.

Good video, but I think it would have been cool if you had explained at the beginning the difference between the Atari arcade games company and the computer and condole company. A lot of people don't understand this.

Game Genie made games repayable. Made games that were too hard playable. And it was fun to see what the different superpowers you could give your player.

I used to be a manager at Movie Gallery, and the least appealing chore was calling video game renters to try to get the manuals back....Spoiler: they never, ever admitted to having them...

Zelda 2 was an absolutely horrible goddamned Zelda game.

Favorite one. Shouldve stayed like that. 2d side scroll.

Anyone else think this guy sounds like a slightly digitally augmented voice of Tucker Carlson? 😆

Why would anyone buy a Game Genie for Sega? Sega Sucks! Genesis What Nintendo is so better!

Ah the 5200, yeah taking the 800 home computer they made and putting it in a console case didn’t turn out to be the best idea, especially not having finalized the joystick. Everybody bought the 7800 if they wanted a new Atari after that came out in 1986, the 5200 was a quick really bad response to a rival console.

The 3do was garbage, you’d see it in software stores back then trying to sell the thing.

America isn’t Japan and they didn’t like that. You could rent music in Japan but couldn’t rent video games back then. Because you could in the us this created a big stink and caused a lot of games to come here altered from their original release like Castlevania 3, the greatest game ever.

After a certain period of time your game console and its games become public domain. This happened to the nes in 2003 and since that time of you want to buy one that isn’t made by Nintendo you are free to do so but they still try to act like they’re above the law and stop people from playing their games so they can charge them money to play public domain stuff, like if universal was going after sellers who were selling Frankenstein and Dracula.

I didn't look through all of the comments to see if anyone had mentioned yet there was/is a similar product for gameboy I believe called GameShark

Did not help atari that intellivision made their own pac man only a few months later in 1983 that was very close to the arcade version. That was why their sales dropped off so dramatically.

Game Genie was awesome.

great video... I always wondered what happened, I remember the "do the math" ads which seemed to be around for about 2 months but the ads were all over the place for a blink. I was a Nintendo loyalist back then, I think the absolute awful design of the Playstation controller initially turned me off... but then the games that they started to release... no way to ignore that!

This game is a masterpiece. It's only "sin" is to be different from the first. The story, the world, the tight controls and exciting combat, and the godly music make it one of my favorite video games of all time. The difficulty was about average for the era

The fall of the Saturn was sad. I enjoyed that console. It made more sense to me than ps1 surprisingly. It was the disc based console that helped me transition from cartridges.

I hated it. It was marketed to 5 year olds, and it's still impossible as an adult.

I will admit Zelda 2 is still my favorite of all the Zelda games. 😊 It was and is still a lot of fun. I wish Nintendo would make another just like this one. 😮😊😮

You forgot to mention that the landfill in NM was unmarked and illegal. It was only found decades later.

I enjoy your content, I'm a sub. But "Mare-ee-oh"? You know he says his name in several of the games, right?

You should do the same type of video for *Sonic Adventure 2* Great Video 👍
