    Streets of Rage is practically timeless. My nephew was 5 when I got the 4th game on Steam and he watched me play at first, and was immediately infatuated with the series as a result. He played through all four of them with me later on.
    Streets of Rage babyyyyy!

    Objection! Konami's first actual game was NOT Sunset Riders, as a sliding tile puzzle game published by Micronet would beat it by 2 years. Junction, a game licensed by Konami for release on the Mega Drive/Genesis in 1990, had players sliding tiles to create pathways for a rolling ball in order to score points. While it may not directly be handled by Konami, and the reason for the licensing is unclear as it doesn't have much connection to any of their other works, Junction was released well before Sunset Riders would see the light of day.

    congrats on the comeback Jared (even if you don't think of it as a comeback). This is the exact kind of show I want to see on RUclips. Short fun little factoids that don't prattle on and on about every little detail. I like how in 10-15 minutes you put 3 different segments to keep it feeling fresh. I'm glad you didn't exile yourself into the netherealm of streaming because I feel like that's the equivalent of the faded pop star doing residencies in Vegas. Glad you're still on RUclips and you've come up with an idea that seems obvious yet no one has done it, keep it up!

    Fun little story, a neighbour had Sunset Riders for the Mega Drive while a friend from school got the SNES version. We were all baffled by how different the games were and so eventually assumed that the SNES version had to be a sequel that didn‘t have the 2 in the titel for some reason. This idea eventually spread to all the schools in the area, weirdly enough.

    I was never a big fan of Westerns growing up like my grandfather, but I played the bejesus out of Sunset Riders on Sega Genesis, popping it in when I felt like shooting up a town full of brigands and dueling with Richard Rose. Hell, the Sound Test in the game got more play than some dud games I owned. I knew that the SNES port was more faithful to the arcade even back then, but for whatever reason I never hunted a copy down, content with my Genesis copy. This game being a test of sorts makes a lot of sense considering its differences.
    Man, this was a really good week in the 90s. Solid games.

The voice samples weren't as cool, but we didn't care: we couldn't understand english (although the speech bubbles were a good workaround!). Also, THAT PINK PONCHO!

    The irony was that the Sega Mega Drive/ Genesis had a headstart over the SNES and was popular in the West. I am sure that if in Japan, there were more mainstream JRPGs and other games that people recognised early on, The Mega Drive had great JRPGs, platformers, sports games and more; so I feel like it was a missed opportunity to strike the iron while it was hot. Edit - To the point about Streets of Rage 2. While I agree that it is superior in most ways (except the music which I think that they are equal in) that isn't saying much as the first game an amazing game that is also a must play.

Surprisingly I wasn't that far off from beating it as a kid - I got locked on the boss of the snow level where you need to like, grappling hook dodge it as it skis around a half pipe that is the level. But after that was only Pete's castle and the very mega man-esque final boss since you're using the basically-mega-man-in-a-turban magician costume for that. Surprised myself and had a great time.
