RETRO TECH: SEGA GENESIS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 дек 2019
- In 1988, Sega took Nintendo by storm and released the Sega Genesis. The conflict between the two companies created a video game console war for the ages. I learn about the cultural impact the Genesis had from comedian Hannibal Burress and play Mortal Combat for the first time against Mari Takahashi from Smosh Games. Fellow RUclips creator Jake Baldino from Gameranx teams up with me to test some questionable Sega Genesis gaming accessories.

30 years ago, saying "Come to my basement and ill show you something cool" didnt sound bad
Haha
That was a good one!
🤣🤣
Says you!!?? I lived back in those days, and I did go down into someone's basement.
And I tell you what, it was a mistake that I would not make again. My bum was sore for two weeks.🥴😭
BoxHead 42 umm... I am afraid to ask but why?
Dude, this is the first youtube premium show I'm actually into.
RIGHT?!? XD
Me two!
Cobra Kai is up there
Aditya venkat That’s the reason I felt like joining. (:
If anyone is in college they can get it for 4.99 instead 9.99
As an older millennial, this just plastered a smile on my face. Thank you for bringing back so many memories!
Dangit, the "SEEEGAAAA" made me teary-eyed immediately. Oh nostalgia, you are so strong.
Miss the streets of rage and super shinobi
I was really expecting to hear "SEGAAAAAA" at the very start of this video.
This show is just MKBHD telling everyone he interviews how young he is
Yep, also, I thought he was around 30 now, how old was he when he started his youtube channel? And also, he looks and sounds considerably older, must be how tall he is.
One last thing, most people that are into tech, are or have been at least in their formative years, are into video games, it's strange how he's not.
its almost as if telling someone your age helps them get a general understanding of your familiarity with technology of certain era. weird.
The ultimate flex
Retro Doc ok boomer
@@imnotacat5299 Aaahhh I see what you were going for there. Lol
He put the game in with the console on. He’s lucky he didn’t damage the cartridge. lol
Does that actually damage it? I do it quite often and nothing has happened
@@mckicks nah.
Exactly... Dude is all about tech and does the dumbest thing... Incredibile...
@@mambomambo5 to be fair, newer machines wouldn't have this requirement. You can be powered on, stick the game's media in the machine and select it. Coming from newer tech and checking out older machines tends to give people different tendencies when it comes to how we interact with it. Those of us who came from those older machines simply have different notions of how to interact with a device by default, through our experience.
Hahaha. Amazing comment. I checked the same thing - that was completely inappropriate.
If I remember well, one “Cheat mode” between games were accessible only switching cartridges with the system turned on - maybe something related with Sonic and SuperMonaco GP - I read that in a magazine from the 90s when I was a Kid. The advise from the magazine was “It could severely damage the cartridge or the console” - great trick to teach the kids!
I remember the day my mom came home and told me, "I bought you a Nintendo!" I ran out to the car only to find she had bought me an Atari (much older system). I didnt have the heart to tell her what it actually was and hugged amd thanked her. It had a joystick and a single button on the controlled. I played the game it came with until it froze, which I was convinced meant I finished it. So I just told myself, "I guess I flipped it over", which meant I passed the whole game. I ended up getting a Super Nintendo years later. Memories
Wtf man , this is not a super nintendo console review , sorry pal , wrong video
@@MrArreaga c'mon man let the guy tell his story
im surprised your mom didn't read the box and casually said: yeah its a nintendo. eitherway hoped you liked the atari
@@protocat-w-3197 if I remember correctly, she brought it to me in a plastic bag. My mom wouldnt have known the difference between consoles. This was back in the early 90's.
You and your mom sounds like awesome people.
"I think the victors is obvious. Its us. Its the gamers" - Such a beautiful way to put it
ikr
on point statement
Fantastic statement and completely true.
2:15 Felt like throwing my TV across the room when he tried putting in the cartridge with the power already on.
cringe worthy much LOL
Me: see’s that happen
The comments: Everyone disliked that
Yeah, I said “don’t do that!” Out loud while watching
Fr fr 😂
😅😅😅😅
The sound output through the headphone jack was just next level. It sounded completely different and awesome compared to the sound coming out of the TV speakers.
I can’t believe everyone always skips over sega Saturn when they talk about the genesis and the Dreamcast, the sega Saturn was outrageously underrated...
Yea too right. I remember playing it for the first time thinking how is thing not even heard of? Sad that it didn’t take off well.
Yeah the sega Saturn saw way expense and ps1 dropped and killed it.But sega Saturn is losted gem in history of gaming
💯 Truth
I had the Saturn
Yes. Resident Evil, Sega Rally and Nights Into Dreams were my main jams. Great times
That sweet chime of "seeeegaaaa" transported you instantly into a new world. Thank you Sega.
And they still continued to make revolutionary crazy games like Alien Isolation
Oh shit, so it didn’t say….never mind lmao
@@Kalmar5567 ?
What a pain it was not being able to save the progress in Sonic, countless times we started from the beginning.
Until you found the music track cheat and you were able to skip to the last level :) ...

Judging older tech with a modern mindset isn’t giving these products their due. During the time, the add ons were dope
Are you talking about the 32X? That was s--- back then and it's s--- now. The only good thing about it is that it has a miniscule library so it's easier to collect for, but then all the boxes are cardboard and most of the games stink! The Mega CD add-on had more appeal, but not much. A slow consumer-grade CD drive with a library of 90% FMV crap like Sewer Shark, Corpse Killer, Night Trap and Double Switch. The only decent games on the platform were Snatcher, Keio Flying Squadron and Sonic CD. Not exactly worth the exorbitant price tag.
@The Retro Speculative Silpheed, Shining Force CD, and Ecco the Dolphin CD were pretty good as well; but I agree that most of the Sega CD library was trash. That being said, the CD add on, made way more sense than the 32 x.
What Sega should have done was just upgrade the graphics with a chip in the cartridge, similar to Nintendo; or with pre-rendering, as they did for Vectorman. The 32x was completely unnecessary, considering these options.
and he aint even using a crt tv
You are by far my favorite youtube creator. I mean, you got it all. Within your channel we get new tech reviews, old tech flashbacks and more. Combine that with really smooth editing and a personal approach... No wonder you are killin' it. Rock on Marques!
Seeing how he first turn in ON and THEN plug the cart in I shout: "NNOOOOO!!!!"
i was readying myself into the moment when that poor genesis or that poor sonic cartridge would sort themselfs out from that abuse.
but then i remembered that those things were build like tanks, and even after nuclear strike those 80's and 90's cartridge consoles would still work like new.
Hahahaha… exactly! Me too, I was shouting “stop! stop! For the love of God, switch the damn thing off! kkkk
I LITERALLY went to the comment section just to see someone point that out, Thank you.
I almost died seeing that lol
“Ohhhhhhhhh!! THAT’s why you talking to me like that.” 😂😂😂
Joy to watch. Great insights, guests and brought a whole heap of good memories back. Thank you.
Loved these retro tech episodes. Should do some more
"Come to my basement and check this out."
No, thanks.
Haha. Definitely not. 😁
But I guess if it is probably one kid telling another kid and they are buddies, then maybe it is not so scary. But yeah all the same, let the game be in the living room not basement. 🙂
The world was innocent then. Kids even played with their joysticks in the basement.
😂😂😂
We had these days, I'm 23
Alex McCaffrey “with their joystick” woah let’s not go that far buddy
MKBHD the type of guy to put a cartridge in with the genesis already on.
Lol bruh I was literally screaming at the video
😂💀 he a baby he don’t know wtf he doing you know the new shit you can cut it on without the game in it 😂😂😂💀💀💀
He looks older than me.. I'm 23 and anybody with a gameboy back in the day just knows that's a big no no, at least he didn't take the cartridge out while it was on right?...
Words cannot describe how upset I am rn
All the old people here are pissed. I’m old people.
Dam bro, your videos are always dope, but this is top tier!!!! My childhood came rushing back!!
This is awesome! Great concept, I love seeing the new generation try to use tech I grew up on for the first time.
This is the first thing I've ever watched in RUclips premium. More of this

Yes...! The icon of the character sound,when we began to turn power on,after we insert A cd games to that portable video games.
Yes....! I still remember that.
Yeah.....saaayyygaaaa. I always imagined a choir in white robes holding controllers and singing with babies with wings in the air.
So much memories too. I was born at 1972 so i remember a lot of tech from ZX Spectrum, commodore 64, atari..... Sega Genesis (Sega mega drive), Super Nintendo (SNES) and many more. I was experience all of them and some other cool things (like first VR in 90-s)

I had the Sega Genesis. I am still nostalgic for it. I loved Batman and the Batman game was my first on the console. I never thought about it being edgy, consciously , but it was dark, literally, set in Gotham city with edgier comic characters.
Watching you unwrap my childhood and where my love of gaming began is ... um ... no words.
Seeing all those cord hookups and old tv made my heart flutter. That was a good sleep over Friday night and Saturday morning.
“Ooo that’s why you talking to me like that “” lol 😂🤣
too funny
Woah Jake on an MKBHD channel? It's the epic collaboration we never knew we needed!!! Gameranx - one of the best
I’m loving these Retro videos right now
Mortal Kombat, Sonic and Fifa 97 were my favorites. I can still feel my "all-new" 6 button controller in my hands. Good old days...
I mean, Sega licenses new ones that have USB or wireless with Retrobit if you really want one. They also do Saturn ones, too.
Mine's Mortal combat, mighty fighters, Monaco gp, Mario, double dragon and street fighters. I had bunch of cartridges but these were my favs 🖤
Had to have a 6 button
it’s so crazy watching this video in 2021, when we’re now seeing things at 4k, 2180p, possibly 240hz. to see how video games and graphics have advance from 8 bit pixels to cinematic type graphics is truly amazing
Sadly better graphics did not produce better games. MK3 is still best game ever, Rock-n-roll racing still best racing game.

@@chartedtravel1776 The amount of fun I've had playing newer games like COD and GTA with my friends far surpasses any of the older ones
This guy not knowing how to work a Genesis is heartbreaking. What a missed childhood. I grew up at the perfect time, born 1986! I’ve been exposed to every system ever made and what a journey it’s been!
Same. 1983 for me
@Joey Bones my very first gaming system was the Atari with Pole Position
Even the games back then was so wholesome. Really miss it
The dreamcast was ahead of it's time. It's sad that it wasn't a success, it should've been.
Thean Kotze want to start a gofundme and bring it back? I have so many ideas. Literally dream of this at night.
It wasn't ahead of it's time, it was dead before it got off the ground. People like me and my friends had just got done dropping hundreds of dollars on the 32x and the Saturn. They were both terrible investments. We were all done wasting our money on Sega products by the time the dreamcast arrived. Sony had already been killing it for years.
Brad Strawn
Ok, but you're not really talking about the dreamcast any, the dreamcast was indeed very revolutionary, with its arcade perfect ports and all due to being based off of the sega naomi arcade hardware.
It was the start of the 6th generation a whole year and a half before the Playstation 2, it spawned a new but short lived proprietary format, GD-Roms. The VMU's were pretty neat too. It was also the first console to standardize online play, it blew the competition out of the water when it came out in terms of technical capabilities
Thean Kotze
It was a success, popular for its time, the problem was the PS2 took away all of its popularity
@@SK91NO I would expect the first console of the next gen to blow away the competition. Just like the Genesis was miles ahead of the NES. That's not ahead of its time. It didn't fail because consumers didn't understand it (which is what ahead of its time implies)it failed because Sega had been churning out half baked consoles for years.
Biggie:
‘Super Nintendo Sega Genesis’
‘When I was dead broke man I couldn’t picture this’
Yeahhh 💯
I was think about this throughout the video lol
This is so cool I never had one but always wanted one love that start up screen
The king of tech on RUclips "did I put it in backwards?"
I'm just a couple of years older than him and I grew up with Genesis
Aaron Warren same i cant believe he’s never played Genesis
So, you played it when you were in the age range of 2-4 max. And "Growing up with something" after the product is already outdated, which in the case of the Genesis is 1995 after the launch of the Sega Saturn doesn't count.
Lalfred I think he means that during his childhood that’s the console he had and enjoyed playing it, hence why he said he grew up playing with it. Makes sense to me
Genesis came out 2 Years before I was born so when I was maybe 5 I was playing genesis and snes and didn’t play ps1 til maybe 1998. We couldn’t afford the latest and greatest
@@aaronwalakay Yeah, but the fact that your experience came later means that Marques probably didn't experience it because it was pretty much out by the time he was 2.

The original Sonic still impresses me to this day.
It was a epic achievement from the sega team at that time.
Funny thing is, the 3 years younger super famicom could not process such speed on screen. Alot of people have forgot this. Sonic also made the genesis succesfull.
I can remember every teenager wanted one, then again alot of parents found it too expensive.
As kid i daily visited a toy store where they had a megadrive demopod, staring at aliensyndrome, altered beast golden axe, knowing i would never own one (my parentd did not have much money)

90s was the greatest times ever. Everything was cheaper. $100 you was able to do alot with it. Hell $20 was enough in the 90s

@@AndrewDavid84 Back then I was always looking forward to something better. Not so much now. I enjoy the Switch way more than the PS4 and PS5.

5:00 the sega master system was awesome as hell! I loved that system. The games were incredibly cool.
With the mortal kombat memories of blockbuster video tournaments….what a time to be alive
The kids who babysat me had one , I had an nes and after I played sonic and mortal kombat , I knew I had to do whatever I could to get one ! Great video
"SEEEGAAAAAAA!" ah... The sound of my childhood.
I always get chills down my spine.Sega was my chilhood.
Congrats
That sound is not in Mortal Kombat either!
Since everyone is commenting about how premium is now worth it I feel like I also want to put in my 2 cents.
I think everyone likes this show because one Marques takes a lot of pride in what he creates so he wouldn’t allow himself to release mediocre videos and two I feel like a lot of other premium shows try too hard to be good in the sense that they try to find a topic that’s relatively mainstream to get views as people ride the wave.
Also, for myself and probably plenty of other people this series taps into things that we didn’t even know we real it missed. Brings back memories that make us happy and in a time like 2019-2020 that is very much needed.
Props to Marques. Very well done show!
Check out could you survive the movies by Vsauce3. Also a great premium show.
I know you guys love this dude but to be honest I don't see this as that great.
The whole thing feels more like a thing that will attrack a viewer that just watches for the hell of it but not really about making a great small documentary into Genesis.
Like a poser Genesis video than a real one if you get my drift.
Good camera, clean image, even going and finding people to talk in a big studio with variable lighting but a bit soulless to be honest and not very informative ether.
I have seen other RUclipsrs do a lot better with a lot less.

“Ready to play a sega genesis game for the first time” - the disappointment
Oh I remember having the Mega Drive in my 20's. Waking up in the morning and playing right away.
OutRun, Sonic, Golden Axe, Thunder Force 2, Flashback, Afterburner 2, Pitfall.....
You can't talk about the Sega Dreamcast's failure without talking about the Saturn so it's a shame that wasn't mentioned. It's also worth mentioning the Dreamcast has a pretty substantial cult following. Overall though it was a great video about it's legacy
Exactly, what "killed" Sega was the Saturn, they rushed it because Sony was coming up with the Playstation, it was too expensive (400$ vs 300$ of the PS1) and way to hard to program for, plus, the first games that came out looked awful compared to the PS launch titles which had a lot of 3D games (and then the N64 with Mario 64). When they released the Dreamcast they were already in a financial hole, they had GREAT games, but 3º party support wasn't there and the DVD player on the PS2 (major selling point at the time) was the final kick for Sega.
I Still love the Dreamcast, what an amazing system, just thinking that it had Online gaming in '99, that would not become a common thing 'till the xbox live came out 3 years later (i know both the PS2 and GC had internet, but they were add-ons that never got much attention).
They also didn't mention the Super Nintendo, which a lot don't know actually outsold the Genesis.

The Dreamcast was actually very well received! It was piracy and the lack of a DVD player among some other issues that was its demise.
Dvd player? U mean CD Drive?
@@kylegordy113 no I mean DVD player. The reason the PS2 was one of the best selling consoles of all time, was due to the fact that it could play DVDs. Consumers didn’t see the need to buy a stand alone DVD player when they could get a gaming console that plays movies for the same price. This is one of the big reasons the Dreamcast lost so many sales to the PS2. Was because Sega opted to not put one in, since it was for gaming.
@@fossil-bit8439 dreamcast came out 2 years earlier and ps only had a cd drive but ya.
@@fossil-bit8439 it would have been impossible in 1998. But Dreamcast didn't really lose any sales to the PS2 overall because Sega pulled the plug 6 weeks after the PS2 launched in the West.

@@roybatty4687 I know u young ppl suck at math, but it came out August 14th 1989, so that's 32 years on the market. And I'm only 35 fucker, that's not to old, that's not even half of most ppls lifetime 😜
I went ahead and purchased NES and Sega Genesis with an Everdrive cartridge that has all original ROMs on an SD card inside the game cartridge along with a CRT television and I'm in heaven. What is weird about all this -- I'm playing these retro systems a ton more than any modern day system.
newer doesn't always mean better. you cant go wrong with the classics@@sonicmoj1
Sega Genesis was my childhood. I literally couldn't see myself playing games on a Super Nintendo even now. Sega was raw, unhinged and didn't fuck around. Seeegaaaaaa... for life!!!!
Nintendo kept delaying the Super Nintendo that's why Sega had time to improve their games for Genesis. The SMS was actually good but failed because Sega wanted all game development in house.
Yess, best console of that era..
@@ballstothewall38 Yeah Sega back then did not want third party companies to make games for the SMS because they thought they would lose revenue and let another company make money off their system. Nintendo realized there were many companies that produced great games and realized they could sell more systems if they got third party titles. Nintendo also got a percentage of the third party companies game sales revenues.
😎💯❤️
I'm 5 mins into this video and it already feels like I fell in a hot tub time machine.
Men what's a video, I still have some stuff from my sega genesis like the arcade control, a mortal Kombat 2 and one special control, keep it up
Wasn’t expecting Jake. “You look like it’s your birthday party” is such a good description.
20:42 they just totally ignored the Sega Saturn and went to the Dreamcast after the Genesis
32x, Sega CD. But Playstation took saturn out...Dreamcast was one of the most underrated game systems ever
poorly produced video. they didn't do their research because they aren't actually gamers. mkbhd is a tech guy, not a serious gamer like happy console gamer or avgn who knows the history. pathetic
@@StreetFighterIIFeb someone got out of bed on the wrong side.
@@StreetFighterIIFeb Don’t forget the Gaming Historian. His stuff is really well researched.
I couldn't stop laughing.
They must of ignored the Saturn intentionally.
All the cool kids with the 16 bit games...
the SEGA intro sound 💔
The hours I spent playing Super Shinobi, Sonic, Desert Sequel, Michael Jackson Smooth Criminal, spiderman and many more..
"Method of murder" has to be the most derogatory way of saying "Fatality"
