This is actually the first episode where I could tell something was wrong with the audio. I just figured you had the mic too low (physically) so had to turn it up (audibly) and didn't have a way to clean it up after the fact.
Congrats on what is probably the most refreshing nostalgia related video format of the past few years =) I remember a lot of these releases from back then, but memory gets fuzzy and your videos always help putting things in perspective.
I absolutely love coming home from work each Friday and being able to sit down and watch this. I look forward to it every week! Keep up the great work guys!
I played the PC version of LHX Attack Chopper back in the day and had a lot of fun with it even though I wasn't very good at it. It's on my list of abandonware games that I need to play in full before I die, so there's that.... Editor Dylan never fails to disappoint, and this week was no exception! Keep it rollin' with those "that's what she said" jokes! I actually laughed out loud this time around and that's always a good sign! Keep up the great work my dude! Thanks for the great video and stay safe out there!
I had AH3-Thunderstrike on Sega CD. At the time I had just hooked up a receiver and some speakers. Needless to say I was rocking out to the guitar driven soundtrack. It was one of the few (beside Final Fight CD) games that my older non-gamer brother was impressed with.
Super glad the channel is already getting Patreon support! You guys have made a great thing, and I love learning about games and consoles I was too young to actually buy (or even care about)--mostly because I didn't read magazines, only comics, in 1992/3. And I didn't read the game reviews in those comics (mostly the Fleetway-UK Sonic the Comic) because...who reads walls of text as a kid? Bring on the pictures.
Wolfchild has got to be the most 90's metal game I've ever seen. You can just hear _Of Wolf and Man_ blasting from a boombox nearby while looking at it.
Sad I gotta wait all year to see if Lunar The Silver Star gets its own spotlight on this show. I REALLY hope it does, as it's one of the best RPGs on the Sega CD.
@Burst Your Bubble Oh of course. Not discounting Lunar 2 for a second. Both excellent, life-altering RPGs. But we have to wait until 2025 to worry about THAT featured on NIT90s
@@alexwilliams3078 I really wish they'd port those to the Switch or something. I haven't been able to play Lunar 2 in over a decade since it just had to be one of the few PS1 games that can't be played on any version of the PS2 and my PS1 died ages ago.
@Burst Your Bubble While I wouldn't go as far as "lackluster", I do agree that Sega CD Lunar 2 is probably the definitive version. If only because the PS1/Saturn ports are more straightforward than the sheer story overhaul of the original game's ports.
@@annienunyabiz6627 my copy works just fine on my ps2. The only PS1 game that every had any trouble playing on the PS2 was Soul Reaver, and then only if you have it set to read the disc at higher speed (the streaming levels insist on the PS1's CD read speed). You can also try it on PS3 since it also runs PS1 discs
I saw the title and thought you were about to talk about about Lunar: Eternal Blue, but that doesn't come out for a few more years. At least you'll be talking about Silver Star at the end of this year!
I played the The Hunt for Red October SNES game in my youth, not once with the Super Scope. The campaign has you choose the order of missions to go through, completing each of them before moving on to the next chapter of the campaign. For me and my family, we always gauged the difficulty of the level by which of the three background music tracks were used for that stage (which were, by the way, covers of classical songs).
I have to say, thank you for making this show. It gives me something fun to look forward to every friday. I love learning about all these retro games I missed from being born too late XP Can't wait to see more
Dracula on the Lynx is an impressive effort, though it suffers a bit from the platform's lack of cartridge capacity and inability to save games. Yep, that's right -- it's a point and click adventure with no save system. And the ability to die, sending you right back to the start! Thankfully, if you want to play it legitimately today without delving into murky waters and with considerably less frustration, it's available in fully licensed, official form on the Atari Lynx Collection 1 cart for Evercade, and that version allows you to save whenever you want! Oh, and the Lynx was one of the few handhelds at the time which you *could* play in the dark -- both it and the Game Gear had backlit screens, unlike the Game Boy, which was the main reason they gobbled up batteries like [insert "your mom" joke here].
Love this series since its inception but I do wish they were a tad longer. It does feel a bit rushed in some episodes and some skits would be a cool addition in my opinion otherwise, love the content guys!
CORE seemed to be one of the very few companies able and willing to exploit what the Mega CD could actually do. Even SEGA's efforts felt a bit halfhearted but CORE went all in exploiting that sprite scaling and limited 3D capability to the hilt in several of their titles. If only that had been more mainstay, ah well.
Something smells fishy about that AH-3 release date. The box art style is one Sega wouldn't start using until Jurassic Park in August 1993. EDIT: According to Sega Retro, it actually came out in November of 93. Whoops.
I played one of the Thunderstrike sequels (specifically, Operation Phoenix). It's really fun, but it has rather steep learning and difficulty curves. Most of the time, I just messed around in the tutorial level.
Werewolves seemed to be a recurring theme around this time. Werewolf: The Last Warrior, Altered Beast, Contra: Hard Corps, et cetera. If your game had a werewolf in it, it also had to have an awesome soundtrack. 3:15 Fun fact: The SuperScope Six doesn't even have a "scope." It has an "aperture." But "SuperAperture Eleven" doesn't have the same ring to it.
The Sega CD was a harbinger of what was to come for console gaming. It cannot be stressed enough how CDs made it easier to make more technically superior games with improved graphic capabilities, sound design and, most importantly, space to make both a reality. Sure, there were CD ROM based computers by this point, but they were far more expensive and intimidating than a gaming console. Sega was able to bring this to the masses by simplifying the process.
Still own my copy of 'The Hunt for Red October' (SNES), haven't played it in many years though. I remember it being a bit of a challenge & the 'game over' screen being quite haunting.
I remember seeing the rave reviews for Thunderstrike. It's not the type of game I'd generally buy but I'm glad I did. It is one of the best games. The sequels never felt the same and I lost interest in them.
Interesting, at least the few clips shown of the Dracula game makes it appear that it follows the book quite nicely. And if it does, there was a dead infant in the bag, and no Wendy's.
The SNES "Hunt for Red October" looks like it tried to ripoff the arcade game "In The Hunt" which came out in April 1993 on Arcades. The SNES isn't up to task of making it an exciting Shmup but "In the Hunt" was incredible on Playstation when it came out in 1995. I recall buying the big box version of In the Hunt at Electronics Boutique in 1995 in the clearance section for $20. Most early PS1 owners only wanted 3D games for the system so In the Hunt didn't sell well.
1993... In this year will see the launches of at least 3 new consoles: LaserActive, Jaguar and 3DO. I can't wait listen Jared covering all those obscure LaserActive and Mega LD releases.
Just as a heads up for people thinking about playing the Lynx Dracula game, it is genuinely quite good except for one problem: there's no way to save. At all. Granted, it's a very short game and can be completed in
So there’s actually 12 Super Scope compatible games. Just a few years ago, an easter egg was discovered in Lemmings 2: The Tribes that lets you shoot the poor lemmings!
Wolfchild soudned awfully familiar, until you did the "man...child" joke and recalled it from the gameplay channel. Glad to hear you're having as much a blast making this series as we watching it.

Hey, just a minor nitpick, your audio is a bit hot in this one, your mic is clipping like mad.

I had Wolfchild on MY Sega CD, it was great pc engine couldn't touch Sega CD Bitch 😁
I see that grey hair coming in =)
I loved playing Thuderstrike as a kid, it was the one game I could get through every summer when I would visit my dad.
My favorite scene in The Hunt for Red October is a bare-chested Sean Connery firing the submarine's missiles at the monster squid.
Man, I loved my Sega CD. Here's hoping that these games become more widely available for everyone to have the chance to enjoy!
Congrats on what is probably the most refreshing nostalgia related video format of the past few years =) I remember a lot of these releases from back then, but memory gets fuzzy and your videos always help putting things in perspective.
@5:36 I loved playing Race Drivin’ at the local arcade!
Thunderhawk is amazing. Still play it regularly today.
I absolutely love coming home from work each Friday and being able to sit down and watch this. I look forward to it every week! Keep up the great work guys!
Who can forget that classic scene in The Hunt for Red October when Sean Connery fought that giant squid?
Classic moment in cinema history
Man, I had LHX Attack chopper as a kid, I didn't know any other games like it at the time so I really enjoyed my time with it.

"The Hunt for Red October has SUNK" frigging sent me, these episodes are so amazing. Keep up the good stuff, Jared and Dylan!
The 90s and their majestic hairs in the wind, this explains a lot, thank you very much for this episode Team and Jerd ✌🏼
You’re excited about this year’s series of episodes? We are as well! Each friday I’m treated with a great nugget of 90’s gaming goodness.

That Dracula Lynx game looks awesome.
Always a great way to end the week :)
So true.
Actually Editor Dylan, the Lynx had a backlit screen, so you _could indeed_ play its games in the dark.
Wolf child on amiga was so ahead of its time

remember when Sean Connery in Hunt for Red October said "Shoot the Giant Octopus!" such an oscar worthy quote
The graphics of this Dracula game are pretty impressive for the Lynx.
Yoshi's Safari validates the existence of the Super Scope.
The Hunt of Red October looks very similar to In The Hunt which itself was a precursor for Metal Slug.
I got an SNES with Super Mario World for my 5th birthday on 01/20/93
First game I ever owned. Still one of my favorites.
I saw the title and thought you were about to talk about about Lunar: Eternal Blue, but that doesn't come out for a few more years.

I had Wolfchild on the Genesis. I didn't know it was also on the CD.
Everytime I watch this I get transported back to the 90's as if I were watching a tv show or reading a magazine about upcoming releases

Yo Jerd! Mic was peaking a little on this episode. Just pointing it out so you can note it for future eps! Still a great episode otherwise!
Was worried it was my speakers. And he says "Amica" instead of "Amiga."
I thought my headphones had fucked up
I thought my speakers were blown on my phone, noticed this too
When Dylan's section came I knew it was not my imagination
Rick Rubin produced this episode
I always look forward to Fridays because of this show.
This series is always a good bump of nostalgia.
Outside of Lunar and Final Fight, I thought AH3 Thunderstrike was a great game to showcase the Sega CD. Still enjoy it 30 years later.
Edification: the moral or intellectual instruction or improvement of someone.
Thunder was the 90s equivalent of fire

Hey, that Dracula game is being true to the original novel! You basically never nee that; that's incredible!
I member watching the hunt for red october at the movies where sean connery spent the entire movie blowing up giant squid.
I played one of the Thunderstrike sequels (specifically, Operation Phoenix). It's really fun, but it has rather steep learning and difficulty curves. Most of the time, I just messed around in the tutorial level.
Wolf Child looks like a lot of fun
I love how you show the old EGM reviews. I remember reading that magazine all the time.
I still love this show and look forward to it every week!
"[Dracula] barges in with a bag of Wendy's."
Uh, so, in the novel, Dracula brought home a baby. To eat. They ate a baby.
Keep em coming! Can't wait to see games from systems I havent seen in years.
Werewolves seemed to be a recurring theme around this time. Werewolf: The Last Warrior, Altered Beast, Contra: Hard Corps, et cetera. If your game had a werewolf in it, it also had to have an awesome soundtrack.

Thunderstrike amazing graphics
The genesis version of LHX is another PC Port, This time from MS-Dos the year before. It does run smoother there even on vintage hardware.
never seen Wolfchild gameplay before, but i definitely remember seeing that Wolfchild ad in magazines and maybe other places.
This is the content I come to RUclips for
Still own my copy of 'The Hunt for Red October' (SNES), haven't played it in many years though. I remember it being a bit of a challenge & the 'game over' screen being quite haunting.
Wolfchild looks dope
So glad I got to live through these days. Good stuff
I was not ready for the depth of lore of The Hunt of Red October games.
YESSSSSS Now in the 90's!!!!! TODAY.
Dracula the Undead was a fascinating experience.
Thunder stricke was really great!
looking forward to the editor's corner more every time, great job lol
I love this show, never missed it. Great job guys!
Oh! There was an arcade booth of race drivin' at my camping as a kid. The memories.
Editor Dylan is a very likable side of the show
Time to rename the Rapid Fire Releases to just "The sports games that released that week"
Keep these coming! I love this show. The nostalgia, great info, entertaining. Great job!
Great video my dude
I remember seeing the rave reviews for Thunderstrike. It's not the type of game I'd generally buy but I'm glad I did. It is one of the best games. The sequels never felt the same and I lost interest in them.
Once again, I am impressed, informed, and having fun. Good job, guys.
i swear, i was never a fan of Jared, but this new content shot him up into maybe my best youtuber ever, hope he keeps this hup, amazing content.
Best Sega CD game is like winning Miss Leper Colony.

now in the 90s! I watch it while eating bread!
I'm impressed that they managed to fit a whole point-and-click on a Lynx cartridge. I guess the Lynx really was that powerful.
How have I not heard of wolf child I want to play it
I remember wolf child…rented this on snes
Meep meep my dude.
... Meep meep
I love editor Dylan's show!
oh damn I had LHX Attack Chopper, I haven't thought about that game in a very very long time.
I coulda sworn I subbed when the channel was created
Mostly shocked that the master system was still supported around this time
The first 2 games from the rapid fire segment, had them for PC, and LOVE THEM!
What the heck is long flowing wolf-like hair suppose to mean? Wolfs have quite short hair.

Guess it depends on taste, but I'd put Time Gal, Shining Force CD, Lunar: The Silver Star, and Dark Wizard ahead of ThunderStrike.
I traded my copy of SimCity for Wolfchild... Regretted it every day since!
