    We're counting down the top 20 worst Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games ever. Why?...well, the original videos kinda got screwed by RUclips, and obviously just uploading them again isn't an option (deleted files and so forth)...plus they were just kind of old anyway. So I've made a new version! New commentary! New jokes! New entries! An extremely irritated host who'd have sooner never seen any of these games again!

    Kim-will you go into even further in-depth review of Awesome Possum? Please? I feel that it deserves the penultimately scathing review. If there was one thing that Awesome Possum did help was not the fact of trying to save the environment. Instead, it helped shape Doug Lawrence’s career in voice acting be solidified (he went on to voice Filburt in Rocko’s Modern Life, and most famously Plankton in Spongebob Squarepants). Easily comparable to Lani Manella starting off voicing Bubsy in Bubsy 3D before going on to doing much better.

    Played Sword of Sodan recently on the Amiga, and though it was never a good game it was still miles better than the Megadrive port. What really impressed me was the use of ambient sound which creates quite a cool atmosphere, and the game has a replay feature so you can watch your game play. Technically very impressive.

    I like how the timer in Heavy Nova uses a completely different concept of time to the rest of the planet. 1 Heavy Nova Time Unit (HNTU) = 4.5 Earth Seconds. That's some serious sci-fi world-building, there.

    Yep. Had Strider 2 for the spectrum and loved it as to be fair, it didn't feel too much worse than the original on that device (which of course, didn't touch it on the arcade or the Mega Drive. When S2 hit the Mega Drive, I rather enjoyed it as much better than the Speccy version. It didn't occur to me to compare it with the Original on the MD for years. When I did of course, I totes saw why it was so hated.
    ...Then again, while it doesn't come close to the charms of its predecessor, my history with Strider 2 means I still enjoy it as a mediocre-to-decent-but-very-flawed platformer in its own right. I certainly couldn't bring myself to put it in my bottom 20.

I shudder hard just thinking about it!

    Awesome video, Kimble. You did all those crappy games justice. Oh, and I "do" remember the original Rastan arcade game. It was SO much fun to play when it came back in 1987. I used to play that game in the arcades with my brother when it was new. And I think it's a FAR superior game than the atrocious sequel.

    I've never played Wolverine Adamantium Rage but I want to. To see for myself how bad it is. The graphics look all right but it's gameplay is what's really terrible. However it does have several Game Genie codes to make it easier to get through. So I'll do that sometime!
