Christ this makes me feel old (I'm 46). I find it hard to come to terms with the fact that many young people have never played on these consoles. The fact they missed the golden era of gaming (along with movies and music too!). I actually feel sorry for them because everything these days is legit garbage.
Comix Zone is an amazing game. I never played it on the console but I did play it on Windows. The first time I saw it, a schoolmate was playing it in IT class. I was mindblowed 🤯
Altered Beast is stupid easy to finish. I used to beat it without taking damage. There's nothing random about it and the beast attacks are the perfect directional attacks for the bosses.
In case of Sonic 2, the lady is right to say it's pixelated. Sonic games were designed with pixelated graphics to make use of artifacts on a CRT Television, so the pixelated waterfall and the bushes in Sonic 2 would look transparent instead of a mesh of pixels. In fact, Sonic 2 looks way better in a television of that time, than it does in modern consoles and monitors.
You really understand✨ ......for this very reason I have more than one CRT Television to play vintage Sega cartridges on them, the colors are incredible on it✨...I only use the flat TV for the Sony 1 and Sony 2.
Aww. . . No Golden Axe, Ecco The Dolphin, Battletoads, Castle Of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, The Lion King, Robo Cop Vs. Terminator, Primal Rage, Any TMNT Game?! Hoping For A Part 2 Of People Playing Sega Genesis Or Any Classic Video Games For That Matter! 🤞

That was NOT the entire first level of Streets of Rage 2 - you had to go into that bar, beat up everyone, then go into the back alley and beat the real boss of level 1!
No?Alien soilder, vector man, Castlevania, light crusader, Skeleton krew. Splatter house,Golden axe,thunder force iv, the revenge of shinobi, shadow dancer,bonanza bros,contra the hard corps. Sunset Riders,red zone,midnight resistance,Decap attack,Dynamite headdy,out run,Ristar. Im 19 years btw too.
You picked up "b-type" game in Street of Rage 2 on purpose, yeah? 😏 also you should've give them to try Castlevania: Bloodlines as well upd. and Contra Hard Corps, and Vectorman and Boogerman maybe also lol (not an exclusive I know, but Genesis version is better) upd upd and a Ristar of course!
Almost feels like the parents failed them a little I was born in 83 but had a older brother and sister so I experienced everything from the mid 60s to current pop culture so awesome also why I don't connect to with people my age as well as older
This was great, if a little bit clumsy, to watch!

indeed, it was slept on and that is a sad fact. but evidently some people played it because we would get Viewtiful Joe in the future as well as Mad World which is very comic book like.
Love Blonde dude's attitude to it all. They're all very cool It is also so frustrating watching these amateurs fail at these games us 30+ers can walk through blindfolded haha 2D games ftw
I was around 11 years old when I first played street of rage 2 and Sonic 2 but these teens can't play shit, sorry. No hard feeling, the video was entertaining though.
Sonic, the first one, Revenge of Shinobi, Dune Battle for Arrakis and Shining Force 2 were games that had a big impact on me, when I first got my Sega, Altered Beast was the game that came with it
Ugh, Labyrinth Zone; that drowning music gave me nightmares as a child. I think they redeemed themselves in Sonic 3 though, Hydrocity is actually enjoyable as a water level with the bubble shield and all those water slides.
@@KenMasters. to be fair, i actually would've kept Altered Beast for the historical value as one of the launch titles, so they would see how the system evolved. like if i were to curate a PS1 episode, i would put Battle Arena Toshinden side by side with Tekken 3 so they could compare them.
6:48 , this is misleading. They did NOT beat the level.. there was a significant part of the level left including the main boss and another sub boss. The guy they faced with the knives was only one sub boss. Source: I had this game in the 90s and literally played it to death

Sonic 2, Streets of Rage 2, Comic Zone were easily in my top 5 favorite Genesis games. I remember one morning I played Comic Zone and got so far before school, but I didn't wanna start over, so I let the system run all day. It was nuclear hot when I got home.
Clearly they’re not playing Altered Beast correctly. You’re supposed to insert the Sonic 2 cartridge, yank the cartridge out when Sonic’s running past the SEGA logo, then put in Altered Beast and play with infinite 1-hit-lives. My brother and I found that out by accident when I wanted to play Sonic 2 and he wanted to play Altered Beast.
I never knew that! But that is something I miss about the Genesis was all the strange cheats/glitches you could find. My sister and I found out that you could get a screen to skip levels if you jiggled the cartridge just right for Sonic 3D 😂
Kids today think their game is hard...pffttt!!!! 👎 WE 90's GENERATION PLAY SEGA / NES WITHOUT A SAVE FILES!!! IF WE DIE, WE START FROM THE BEGINNING!!! 🔥
Contra. I’m in my mid 40s now and I still haven’t run into a game as unforgiving as that. Dark Souls came close, but since dying is a mechanic for that series, it’s not as enraging. Contra just killed you and said, “Have fun starting over.”
@Shyning77 I wasn't sure if that was the case. Japan and Europe, I was certain (I am a swede, after all, and I have known the Genesis as Mega Drive since I was a kid, didn't knew anout the Genesis until circa 2002 or 2003).
Whoever picked the titles did a solid job especially GunStar Heroes! Didn't think I'd see that gem pulled up. They all did good though and my ranking is pretty on par with theirs:)

Crazy that out of all games it's Comix Zone that got the highest score. It's usually to brutally hard for most people. Super underrated game though, I love it.
Wtf would they have done back in the day, they can't even get through the first level? I have been rinsing Sonic for years and being at the level I'm at with this game this is hard to watch 😂😂😂
What I find revealing here is that this kind of playing level is where we were when we first played the original Sonic, for me that was when I was about 9. These are teenagers probably around 15/16 years old. By that point I was well into the Saturn, PSX and N64 years. Kids and young people nowadays haven't had the chance to hone their gaming skills like we did. They're too used to save states/checkpoints.

Everyone who played SoR2 in the day: That's NOT the end of the first level, come on, man!
Still entertaining to see
The original Sega unofficial mascot from 1986 until 1991 was Alex Kidd, and not Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic only became the official mascot in 1991.

Streets of Rage is something you can play any time. So much fun and at the same time challenging.
I love that younger generations are appreciating and enjoying these old games. I wanna see them play some SNES, N64 and PS1 games too.
Don’t forget Neo Geo. SNK King of the arcades!
They haven’t experienced Sonic until they’ve heard the drowning music. That sound taught me what anxiety attacks were
As Sonic fan who grew playing Genesis it hurt a little bit to hear them say😢 “I played sonic on the DS” Sonic & Knuckles combo cartridge is still all time great gaming product.
3:22 How do you get confused as to "what controls did what" in Sonic 2? That's D-pad and a single button...
SOR2 has a banging soundtrack that still holds up imo

They're so dependent on touch screens that they have almost no hand eye coordination with gamepads. Sadness.
ehh not necessarily. just probably haven’t played many games in general.
These kids seem like none of them even played a Nintendo Switch or PS5.

It just went on my list. Can't believe I had never seen it before. Thanks React I guess!
It was different for it's time.
@@UltimateGamerCC The game came out too late in the console's lifespan. At that time, heads were already turned towards the PlayStation.
It's so freaking hard too
Streets of Rage 1 and 2 are awesome games with bad ass sound tracks!
3 is good too. It's just that the soundtrack sucks. The Japanese version is better , too.
2 was the pack in for my Genesis. I played the hell out of it. The music was awesome. I had an nes too at the time and it was a hell of an upgrade.
Problem with Streets Of Rage 2? Even if you beat it a million times, you always come back for more! It is really a masterpiece.
Give 'em an Sonic water level, and watch that ranking drop😅
Ikr 😂
chemical plant is a great example
drown sound haunts my dreams
@@cole003f chemical plant ain't that bad, there's only 1 real water section but it's pretty short.
As an 80s baby this was so painful to watch
SONIC 1 AND 2, and HOME ALONE (the game) and HOME ALONE 2 (again, the game) FTFW!!!

Plays Sonic 2 but doesn't even let them play Chemical Plant.

Anyone giving Toejam and Earl below an 8 is a pathetic poser
The next one shoultd either be the Nintendo 64 or the Gameboy...it would also be interesting to see them try the Gamecube.

its not segaa its seegaaaa
