    My beloved Sega Genesis was the first console I ever had. I loved it until it was stolen from my house, I was a 6 years old crying because my console was gone, then my older brother told me, do not worry, there's a console that works with cds, and the controller has geometric symbols, after a few weeks my mom bought us the Playstation, and I grew up with that beauty. But the Genesis has a special place in my hearth, I remember playing Shinobi III, Eswat and many other games, now thanks to emulation I can relive those beautiful times

      @MiguelMakesMusic 6 лет назад +9

      I know how you feel, I had a bunch of great games for the genesis that were stolen from me when a "friend" came to visit one day. oh well!

    • @greenkitty82
      @greenkitty82 4 года назад +5

      Absolutely. I would have been crushed too if mine was stolen as it's such a great thing to play. But If you want the console back you can get them relatively cheap from second hand exchange stores. I have around 50 games from the 90s on my original console but have most on emulation now so I can dip into the whole library of them whenever I want. 👍

    The fact that Landstalker is on this list made my day. As frustrating as it can be I love that game to death. It’s criminal how many people have slept on it and it NEEDS some kind of reboot today.

    World of Illusion is one of the most underrated Disney games out there. Remember spending hours at my friend's house trying to finish it with two players. Yeah not the most complex soundtrack you'll ever hear but I think it has a memorable charm. The value pack cartridges are where it really shines, you can get a bunch of really good games bundled together.

      It’s my favorite beat em up of all time for me. I enjoy this even more than Smash Bros.
      And that’s coming from a Nintendo fan!

    •  5 лет назад +2

      it's not just the best Genesis beat em up, it's one of the best beat em up's ever on any platform. 3 would have been as good as 2, except the soundtrack wasn't nearly as good.

  • @hybridvigga
    @hybridvigga 6 лет назад +47

    Oh dear God yesssss!!!
    Biohazard Battle (Crying in Japan) is still to this day one of my favourite games ever, and you hardly ever see anyone talking about it. EVERY Genesis/Megadrive owner should have this, and if you down own a Genesis, buy one to play this game. Also Landstalker is awesome, but the entire series is niche and under-the-radar because people don't realise this is one of the few isometric games in the entire history of mankind that DOES actually control well. Dark Saviour is surprisingly cheap for a Saturn RPG, and nobody ever bothered to fan-translate Ladystalker on the SNES (although, seeing as its Japanese, with a title like that it could be ANYTHING.)
    The only thing I disagree with is you're view on Streets of Rage 2, people shouldn't buy it because its better than the prequel, people should buy it because to this day it is still the greatest and most replayable scrolling beat-em-up ever made. SOR2 is to the 2D Final Fight genre what Super Mario World is to platformers, unarguably the greatest one of all time, even now coming up to 30 years later they are yet to be surpassed.
    TOTALLY undersold how important picking that game up is, but another great video nonetheless.

    I love Landstalker! Great game! It still looks great today. I still have my cart from back in the day. But I prefer to play the game today on my PC with an emulator that has save anywhere. Being able to save before a difficult jump makes the platforming a lot less frustrating.

  • @evilash570

    Super Monaco GP was pretty great back then with the expanded tracks etc not found in the arcade version, even though it took a hefty graphical hit. It sounded great, and had great gameplay!

    • @garywintle8023
      @garywintle8023 6 лет назад

      The music is some of the best on the Megadrive/Genesis, and it's an astonishingly deep game; playing with 7 gears and mastering each track really pays off. It expanded hugely on the career mode in Super Hang On.

    • @ACLMSC

    This was a nice surprise. I thought it was going to be you regaling us of your first 10 Genesis games (which I'd also be interested in watching, if you haven't already done so), but I liked what you did here. Going with the 6-pak is cheating, if ever so slightly, but it does give folks a good starting point. A couple on this list I don't have, and didn't know they were so cheap, so I may have to track those down. I was surprised to not see Sonic 2 on the list, but I generally prefer the 1st game anyway, so strictly from a personal preference standpoint, that doesn't bother me. Everyone knows about Sonic anyway, and it seems like an obvious choice.

    I had the SEGA Mega Drive, when I was a teenager. I lost it for a while and then retrieved it when I was older. My sister and I shared a boxful of games, some of which were for two players on the teenage part. When I was older, and retrieved the Mega Drive from a Car Boot Sale, it came complete with two joysticks and my first and second favourite Mega Drive Games: Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and Sonic the Hedgehog 2. To make up a collection of five Mega Drive Games I was happy with, the other three games in the line-up were Castle of Illusion, World of Illusion and Aladdin. Those are the best five Mega Drive Games I've ever played.

    I honestly don’t remember the first 10 games I played on the Sega Genesis, but I remember that when my family purchased a Genesis it came packaged with Altered Beast. I remember when Sonic came out _that_ became the game packaged with the Genesis, but Sega allowed people who purchased the system prior to the release of Sonic to call a 1-800 number and they were mailed a free copy of Sonic. That’s how my family got the game.
    But for the most part I was a spectator watching my dad play rented games on the system and only played a couple that were available to us until the Sega Channel was released.

      I considered a fighting game, but kinda felt that the 1 on 1 fighter didn't really become a thing until well into the Genesis life cycle. When they did show up regularly, they were often cut way back from the arcade source material.

      @@SegaLordX Fair enough. I had a SNES first and didn't get a Genesis until very late in the console's life. We probably view the console from very different perspectives.

    What's the top view Saturn game shown at 21:28? I looked around your Saturn videos a bit and couldn't find what it was.
    Also: Bio-Hazard Battle is a great recommendation. That game deserves a lot more attention than it gets. But if someone likes top down shooters more than side-scrollers, can I recommend Fire Shark? I love that game and prefer it to Truxton. Massively underrated IMO.

    Another great video. I must say I really appreciate your speaking style. Very calming and your grammar and diction are on point.
    I'm pondering getting a Genesis as the AtGames retro offerings get terrible reviews. Will there be a Part 2 to this video?

    My first 10 were Altered Beast, Golden Axe, Columns, Truxton, Lasorda Baseball, Phantasy Star 2, Joe Montana Football, Moonwalker, Pat Riley's Basketball, and Revenge of Shinobi. That was back when I bought games because of price or birthday gifts/xmas gifts. Sports were usually cheaper so I bought them up. Columns was also cheaper than most. I think it was $30 compared to $50 to $60 the others. Loved them all.

    6pak is a good choice, but I'd also try and find a first run copy of Revenge of Shinobi. Sega went their own way, used Batman, Spiderman, The Terminator and Godzilla as bosses, rights be damned!

    • @SegaLordX
      @SegaLordX  6 лет назад +1

      For hardcore Genesis collectors, I'd agree. It tends to be expensive if the seller knows what he has.

      You have my vote. Criminally underrated.

    • @subzero8679
      @subzero8679 5 лет назад

      I wouldn't really call it underrated, as there are a lot of people out there that like ESWAT. It's not talked about as often maybe, but it's definitely not underrated.

    For new Genesis players I recommend Shinobi. (Shinobi 3 is an acquired taste)
    Back in the day I owned a very modest Genesis collection. I think it was 6 games. It was very difficult to know which games to buy at the time due to a lack of RUclips and the difficulties of advertising. Hyperstone Heist was one of those games. The Sonic games (all 5) too.

    Kudos for cramming such an epic experience of Genesis console gaming to ten titles. Obviously there is room for another ten great titles just as easily as the list goes on and on...
    Gunstar Heroes
    MUSHA
    Ghouls 'n Ghosts
    Sonic the Hedgehog 2
    Thunder Force III
    X-Men 2 Clone Wars
    Target Earth

    Phantasy Star IV
    Robocop vs. The Terminator

    I love your videos, man, (specifically the Genesis videos), but you pretty much talk about the same games in all of them...E-Swat, a Mickey game, Road Rash, and Streets of Rage 2...I hope your future Genesis games have more diversity in them. Thanks for the content, though ~ a huge Sega Genesis fan

    • @SegaLordX
      @SegaLordX  5 лет назад +1

  • @garywintle8023
    @garywintle8023 6 лет назад

    Herzog Zwei is IMHO a must-have, its a brilliant, criminally overlooked RTS game that is one of the greatest two-player competitive games ever made, with battles that can last for hours.
    Thunderforce 3 and 4: These two shoot 'em ups are glorious, with 4 being one of the most impressive technical feats on the Megadrive/Genesis.
    Alisia Dragoon: A polished, fun platform/shooter, beautiful visuals and great music.
    Shining Force 1 & 2: Brilliant Strategy RPGs that rival Fire Emblem.
    Phantasy Star 4: Amazing RPG, and its two predecessors are no slouches either, with 2 having one of the greatest ending plot twists in videogame history.
    Super Monaco GP 1 & 2: Awesome racing sims, with astonishing depth and replay value for a game of this era. SMGP2 even had Ayrton Senna personally involved in its design. Sega turned an arcade game into one of the greatest racing sims ever.
    Street Fighter 2: Awesome arcade port.
    Ranger X: Awesome shooter with some very inventive gameplay and some of the best visuals on the system.

    I bought the Genesis and the Sega CD at the same time since it was sold as a set, and I already had an SNES. I don't remember the exact order but the first was Strider (cheap at that time), then Phantasy Star 2, 3, 4, Sonic CD, Lunar 1, Snatcher, Shining Force CD, Gunstar Heroes, and Fatal Fury Special CD. I think thats all I had. I bought it around 1993-4 ( towards the end life) and move on to the Sega Saturn the first day it came out.

  • @Marc_Araujo

    The first five that I got with my Model 2 Genesis as a kid were Sonic, Sonic 2, Mortal Kombat, Sword of Vermilion, and Thunder Force II. The latter two I had never heard about until the Kay Bee Toys employee recommended them...and I've loved them ever since.
    P.S. ESWAT is really underrated.

    Reading C+VG sold the machine to me.
    I also picked up:
    The Immortal and Corporation as I hadn't gotten them on the ST.
    I ignored MD Ghouls n Ghosts, as I had played and completed it on C64 and the ST.

    ill grand you a lot of them are cheap, (and all great) but some of them, like shinobi 3 and biohazard are getting mighty pricey in northern europe.

    I find streets of rage 2 to be the archetypal megadrive game. The tonnes of sprites on the screen and the great electronic music. So defining of the megadrive and that era.

  • @retrosoul8770
    @retrosoul8770 6 лет назад

    Solid list, don't agree on every game but we don't have to because we both love the Genesis and that's enough for me. Happy to see Shinobi 3, arguably the most mechanically advanced and one of the very best 16-bit action platformers of its time (alongside MMX, Super M, Contra 3 etc) but most ppl don't care because it's not Konami, Capcom or Nintendo. Super Hang On is unappreciated and great. So is Bio Hazard Battle, haunting score with silky smooth gameplay. Yeah the 6Pak is awesome and thanks for not just spamming Sonic games. Lastly I need to try E-Swat.

    • @SegaLordX
      @SegaLordX  6 лет назад +1

      The thing about these lists is that there are a ton of great games that could be interchangeable with any one of them. It's less about the specific game, and more about the conversations around them.
