There's a few other gaming channels with the same level of presentation, like The Gaming Historian and My Life In Gaming, but yeah it's pretty rare on RUclips
@@duffman18 My Life in Gaming is pretty good, but I still think Splash Wave takes the cake. I actually go back from time to time and watch older videos. The only other channel I do that with is Core A Gaming, because those scripts are so good.
MultiTarded, you must be as "Tarded" as you are culturally illiterate. I think it was all the Dragonball and elevator music. Have fun in the comments section dumbass, bye bye
Thanks for posting this. This is one of the greatest and most beautifully crafted "making of" videos I've ever watched. I grew up playing World of Illusion - this game means a lot to me and brings back great memories. Keep making more of these videos!
Castle of illusion is pure magic. the first successful experiment in an interactive fairy tale. we are talking about a real killer application of the mega drive. true classic. has a special place in my heart as a gamer. Thanks for this neat video as always❤
World of Illusions was me and brothers favortie co-op game to play. We would constantly try to optimize each others inputs to try and beat the game as fast as possible.
This channel offers the best reviews you can ever find in the whole RUclips , the narrator's vocal tone and script is more than satisfying. This channel has always been about production value.
Dude you deserve a show on Netflix or something. The production, polish and professionalism is out of this world. Also, A fascinating insight into the craftsmanship of SEGA's licensed titles, They weren't just cash ins - They truly respected the license holder and wanted to make a great game with memorable sights & sounds regardless of the IP, And they succeeded.
"Another strict rule was that Mickey was not allowed to die..." 17 years after and Disney allows JunctionPoint to have him quite disturbing desolve into a puddle of ink when he loses all this health in Epic Mickey.
Amazing! In my opinion, the Japanese teams handled the Disney franchises better than the western ones. Just take a look at the games mentioned and those made by Capcom in this era (Magical Quest series, Goof Troop etc). Great video as always, Strafefox! Made my day.
Welcome back to the best channel on RUclips... work ethic, knowledge, and care is so apparent in every single video. Love your channel man, thank you!!!
This is one of the best videos from the channel, you capture so well the magic feeling from Disney, by the musics and designs, amazing job, this deserve more attention!!
These videos are so, so important in highlighting the relevance of forgotten franchises. With Nintendo practically owning the monopoly on the image of nostalgic interactive fun from way back when, some of the underrated classics that were hugely entertaining and remain so today deserve recognition.
I'm so glad you took my advice and started a patreon. You are still. CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. I hope I get as big as you are and can help you grow someday.
Literally came to your channel yesterday and was like "But it's been 2 months. Why are there no new videos!?" And here we are. As long as you keep putting out quality like this, you can take all the time you need.
I has noticed recently a thing in Quackshot. If you can look at map screen, you’ll find name of Thomas Yuuda in middle lower of the map. So this was he who was in charge of artwork. :)
Ahhhh.... that iconic DuckTales background music... truly incredible music for that series! Far better than any movie soundtracks today! A sense of true wonderment and adventure you can feel from those songs. Excellent choice!
Man. How have I not found this channel until now? I'm also an animator (though I have none on youtube) And I'm blown away by the love you pack in these videos. And your love for Nintendo. Thanks for taking the time to nudge those keyframes for viewers' eyes like mine.
Those games were a very important part of my childhood and during this video I couldn't help myself but smiling and remembering those beautiful moments that I had. Thank you so much
First time in my life I liked a video before actually seeing it. The quality of your video is absolutely awesome. I hope someday you'll be rewarded for this quality content. My favorite channel of YT, by far.
I'd really like to see a "Making of a Strafefox video". You put soo much effort into 3d modeling backgrounds which only display for a matter of seconds in a video. And that's just one speck of the work you do. A "making of" video could really help us understand exactly how much work is poured into each one of your wonderful videos. You deserve a few million subscribers with how much you devote yourself(yourselves?) to this channel. I really love the work you do.
That was a real trip down memory lane. I have both Quackshot and World of Illusion and they were both impressive games. Your inclusion of Sega Power magazine reviews just adds to the nostalgia. Thanks, I really enjoyed learning more about these games.
A superb mini (Minnie?) documentary! I grew up with these games, and learning about them in this level of depth is not only nostalgic and enlightening, but kind of heartwarming too. Thank you for this!
Hij is weer helemaal TOP en eindelijk iemand die begrijpt dat je SEGA moet schrijven ipv Sega zoals veel kanalen en websites doen. Dank je voor de video, erg van genoten. Vroegah toen Disney nog hele vette titels maakte.
What a treat. This video told me everything I could possibly want to know about Disney's business relationship with Sega and more. I'd love it if a similar video about Disney and Capcom's business relationship around that same time
I can't thank you enough for this video, I grew up with Fantasia and Quackshot, and now knowing the history behind them makes me so happy. What I enjoyed about those two games, besides mickey and donald plus the overall magic feeling of old disney, was that [for a young kid] they were pretty hard games. Fantasia was a very hard game for me because of the mentioned clunky controls and sometimes off hitboxes, and quackshot added an extra layer of complexity by being a "metroidvania-esque" game but also having text on it, since my language isn't english and the game didn't had options for my language, so figuring out what to do blindly was so entertaining to me. To this day I pretty much think about both of those games all the time, they've inspired me in a way or another, so knowing those two games are related in a way gives me happiness.
I grew up with these. The Illusion games were some of the first games I ever played! And I still go back and revisit them every few years. World of Illusion, Castle of Illusion, Land of Illusion, and Deep Duck Trouble are right up there with Sonic in my early gaming memories.
Awesome to hear! :) I actually did some work for the blu ray this week, made some minor tweaks to sonic3 and shinobi and wrote some extended dialoque for the sonic1 and 2 video.
It is a fantastic game. The only improvement I would want game play wise would be to be able to change the weapons by pressing a button instead of having to enter the menu. I still fire up this game every couple of years and every time it surprises me by being even greater than I recalled.
The production and design of this documentary is unlike anything I have EVER seen on RUclips. It is simply STUNNING! Do you do this type of work professionally? How many hundreds of hours of love and care did you pour into making an episode like this? I'm seriously blown away... Keep up the great work! Subscribing to your channel is the easiest decision I've ever made!
Awesome! Thanks so much! Yes I have a background in graphic design and have been working in Multi-media for almost 20 years. I usually take 3 months for each episode and try to do a little bit each day.
this is so high quality it puts real tvproduction studios to shame. Thank you for you hard work and I'm so blessed to be able to binge on all your series during quarentine.
Yo, thanks for making these videos. I loved COI and WOI on Sega as a kid. As a game-dev now, it's cool to hear the backstory behind the development of these games.
Such a great video, thank you for making it. The Megadrive, and the Disney games that came out for it, both hold a very special place in my heart. It's nice to know they were made with such love and care; it really shows.
Absolutely outstanding quality. The content, rythm and edition is top notch and really resonates with the sense of wonder of these games. This must be one of the finest RUclips channel not a single doubt about it.
I grew up with all 3 of these games, as well as Fantasia, and thought this would be an interesting watch, but my goodness, I didn't expect they'd get such an amazing amount of animation effort thrown in there with them. Wow.
Not only very informative, but also, a bit touching. These three games, alongside Sonic, played a big role in shaping ny gaming tastes. It's been a couple of years since i played them. Maybe i should pay them Homage and revisit soon. Thanks again for a great job Strafefox
Extremely professional presentation. Strong research void of "game is good because I like it" that plagues RUclips. Always a delight to watch this channel. Seriously, this is a solid presentation. Strafefox, you have to be an industry pro in your trade. Confess!
You guys never EVER cease to amaze me. Always coming thru with fantastically made 80s themed videos!!! I wish it didn't take so long to put a video out but I do understand the time & detail you put in to release it.
I love the in depth information about various games listed in the videos on this site (especially about Sega games and consoles). I noticed on the youtube history listing on my computer that I had watched one of the videos from this channel sometime back. Why I never subscribed back then I'll never know. I can't wait to watch more of the fantastic videos on this site.
Man I could watch this series all day.
@David Meyer 🎵Patreon🎵
Absolutely
Same
I have been 😂
I got raped to these games
The presentation in your videos is a thing of beauty. Unmatched across all of gaming RUclips. I love this channel. God, you're amazing!
It's very reminiscent of 'Motivedia - Boxing'. Check it out. Totally different subject but presentation off the charts.
I second this.
There's a few other gaming channels with the same level of presentation, like The Gaming Historian and My Life In Gaming, but yeah it's pretty rare on RUclips

@@FOXDUDETV Core A gaming single handedly got me into fighting games. They're an amazing channel
It's a crime this channel isn't more popular. You deserve 1 Million subs with content this good.
I could not agree more!!
@@walterjr9702 Agree 100%
He also deserves more than 47 Patreons and $177 per month.
@Steven 1773 ^^This
@Steven 1773 So true.
Lacklustre quantity over quality.
It's pretty hard to convey just how magical Castle of Illusion felt at the time. You could just feel the quality oozing out of it.
I see a new strafefox video, i click thumbs up before i even start watching it!
Ah what an awesome video to be released today! If you make a video about EarthBound in this style someday I would be so happy.
Herr herr!!!!
What a project that would be. Shenmue would be sick too, or the Yakuza series.
Oh boi, here we goo, a quality video to fight today's boringness
yayuh
Hell yeah! Gimme those radical 3D graphics

Presentation: *10/10*
This Channel: *10/10*
Quackshot and Castle of ilusions are eternally on the list of best games on genesis!!! Fantastic vídeo by the way!!
Clean and very informative videos about games that made my childhood? Yep, i'm in.
What a clean old man

Wow...more than 70.000 subs. Your channel has grown quickly! Great to see your work is appreciated by so many.
RUclips’s best retro gaming secret.
Otha Bojangles It truly is
THIS is the most underrated channel on the entire RUclips platform
Thanks for posting this. This is one of the greatest and most beautifully crafted "making of" videos I've ever watched. I grew up playing World of Illusion - this game means a lot to me and brings back great memories. Keep making more of these videos!
Oh man, that musical cue from Ducktales brings back a lot of cheerful memories. The composers on that show were ridiculously talented.
That composer was Ron Jones, who also contributed to the first few seasons of Star Trek TNG before being fired for his music being too awesome.
@@taopilot2669 There were 4 composers working on the Ducktales soundtrack, you can check around.
What an honor to work with such a prodigal 3D artist! ;)
Thanks buddy! And what a honor to work with such an incredible narrator! :)

I clicked because of Quackshot . Hugely underrated game. Can we talk about the amazing music?
World of Illusions was me and brothers favortie co-op game to play. We would constantly try to optimize each others inputs to try and beat the game as fast as possible.
Amazing game yet so short. :(
Amazing video!! I recall being blown away by world of illusion presentation back then. It was like being in a Disney movie

"Another strict rule was that Mickey was not allowed to die..."
17 years after and Disney allows JunctionPoint to have him quite disturbing desolve into a puddle of ink when he loses all this health in Epic Mickey.
72K subs? I'm glad RUclips somehow knows how to recommended me underrated content that I actually enjoy; amazing production value fam!
Amazing! In my opinion, the Japanese teams handled the Disney franchises better than the western ones. Just take a look at the games mentioned and those made by Capcom in this era (Magical Quest series, Goof Troop etc).
Great video as always, Strafefox! Made my day.
Do you hate the Western ones wiht a burning passion?
Many tears of joy were shed while watching this. Thank you for the beautiful trip down memory lane.
Your videos feel like Christmas to me. I love when they appear on my feed! Cant wait to watch.
The production quality is stunning !
These series are really the best, game documentary shorts out there.
The quality of this video's presentation is outstanding!
What a f'n homerun of a video. As artistic, creative, and polished as the games it was covering. Wonderful work.
Land of the Illusion on sms is one of my favourite game of all time.
Glad to see someone talking about the illusion series!
Thanks for paying respect to my youth in such a great and informative way!
When I first saw this video, the 3D effects were insane. Those are amazing little animations that still blow my mind to this very day.
