![Collecting Turbografx 16 with Dad in 1995 - My Retro Life [Extended Cut]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NvBAp8q2yyI/mqdefault.jpg)
Hey guys! If you want to check out my Dad’s 1983 short film “Treasure of the Haunted House” mentioned in this video, click here ruclips.net/video/LFzUjO6UfRQ/видео.html Are you excited to have Sega CD on the upcoming Sega Genesis Mini 2 release? Let me know in the comments and thanks for watching!
Sega is great!
Wow the lil Metal Gear robot helper is the exact same in MGS4.
Have been watching your stuff for over a year now. Just been sitting here watching this thinking about how you have immortalized your dad with all of these videos. I'm sure he is proud. I know I would be. Thanks for sharing your life with a bunch of strangers that had similar experiences growing up.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment Clint. Appreciate it
@@LEXICON-DEVIL -- you could say the MGS4 version is based on Snatcher's Metal Gear, but Snatcher's MG is based on the Metal Gear in, well, Metal Gear (for the MSX/Famicom/NES). (;
Dude your dad was a legend, truly the best game historian and vlogger of youtube without even noticing.
Omg i remember playing flashback with my older brother as a kid. We would build a fort made from chairs 🪑 and blankets and then play this all night into the morning. Great memories 💗
As a 51 year old father, I almost cry when I watched your video. I used to play with my son when he was basically 3-4 years old. I had the Sega CD and actually the 32X add-on too. You have brought me back to the early 90s and appreciate how this console actually paved the way for the DVD/Bluray based consoles.
My daughter went the Nintendo way, and I taught her how to play, she gave up gaming for years and his boyfriend bought her a switch, she beat me frequently in Mario Kart 8. :)
As of today my son and I are still gaming buds, now online due to distance. I play online almost everyday.
I really loved your video... thanks
You sound like a wonderful father
These videos really make me feel good. Your childhood was kinda similar to mine. I was born in 87 and my grandfather was just like your dad we both loved video games and he also used to capture a lot of stuff on camera like playing games and days out and stuff so I could always look back on it all. He was sort of like a pre internet blogger too just like your dad lmao. That’s why these videos make me so happy, your dad fully just reminds me of my grandad. I lost him to suicide in August 2007, after my grandmother passed in December 2006. He was blown away by how fast consoles were changing towards the end of the 90s and i remember the one he was most mind blown with was the first Xbox. Last console we got together was the PlayStation 3. I really hope your dad is doing well up there Tyler, he was one heck of a guy from what I’ve seen ❤️
I'm sorry to hear about your grandpa. The 90s were a pretty cool time
The Xbox 360 was the last console you (Tyler Esposito) got from your Dad. He passed away in September or October of 2007.
We have so much in common! I was born in '87 too except I didn't have a dad so I played games all by myself while wondering what it was like to have a dad
@@aschlamishowsup my dad worked away a lot when I was a kid that’s why my grandad was so into everything. Whenever my dad was home though he’d play video games with me too. I’m sorry you never had somebody like that but at least you had tons of fun, that’s the main part
If you have the videos you should upload them on your channel to share your memories with everyone. Thats if you don't mind.
You really made me appreciate my father. I’ll never know how he afforded a sega genesis but it was the start of my gaming life.
Snatcher is one of my favorite games as well, along with Heart of the Alien, Lunar the Silver Star, and Sonic CD. I'm glad to see that there are others out there who enjoyed this system too.
All great games!
As a man with a dad who loved our Sega CD, many good times together with the Sega CD, I was smiling all the way through your vid :)
Taking me back maaaan . The nostalgia.. and a dad that enjoyed video games is just so wholesome
You had a very loving father, he was amazing. Your parents really loved you. What a blessing!
Nostalgia man!! Its weird!! This channel hits that button like I've never experienced... You have a hit on your hands Tyler. Everyone wants to go back with this crazy world we live in now... 90,s kid 4 life!!! Thanks for taking me back for a moment Tyler.
Thanks Kevin! Love that it can be that for people
Your dad was easily the coolest dad of all time!
Wonderful tribute to your old man. Your pops had excellent taste. You are lucky to have a father like him.
Sega CD was sooo awesome when it came out! It was cutting edge
💯 TRUTH
Man your dad is a badass. I hope to have this kind of connection with my kids in the future. You are a lucky dude. Amazing video by the way. I've noted down all of them to check out.
Thanks man! Glad you liked it
I keep trying to get my 5 yo daughter into console games but she just prefers her tablet touch games. 😂
That werewolf game looks awesome, I have no idea how I've missed that one all my life. See, your dad is helping some random guy find a game all these years later. Talk about leaving your mark. I hope my kids talk about me the same way, I raised them all with games. Me and my son still play together, though he's much too busy for it most of the time now, being away at school. Maybe one day he'll happily tell everyone all about how we went through Dark Souls together. Except in that case it was him giving me tips.
Watching your childhood is seriously nostalgic for me, except my own dad didn't play. I had to beg and convince my parents for every game I got. They took care of me though, I always had a console or games for Christmas and Birthday. Getting a new console with a couple of games was absolute heaven lol. Christmas day, going to relatives house just and dreaming of getting back home to play my new games.
Wow, you had Snatcher! Totally jealous now. I didn't get to play that until I was in my 30s.
I realy miss the 90's gaming, like game devs was innovative and they did not fear anything. No mather how bad an idea something was, atleast they tried it to see if there was a market, and i remember thinking how cool it was that you could upgrade etc :) Nintendo Power and Computer&Video Games was my favorite magazines, as u get older i now understand why the adults said "wish i was a kid again". Those days where the best
Your video's bring me happiness. Thank you for these . Your dad seems really amazing I'm so sorry u lost him .thank you my friend I was born in 82 and I miss those days everything seemed better
I love getting to share and remember these days through the videos with everyone else who watches… so thank you!
I remember buying multiple Sega cd games in the bargain bin in a store called Tower Records back in 95. Most games were $10. I ended up with Dune, Eternal Champions, Mortal Kombat and a couple others I can’t remember. Your videos are a real blessing Tyler, I really mean it. 🙏
That’s an incredible memory Colin! Thanks for watching man. Really glad you enjoyed it
Tower Records still exists in Japan. There's like a 5 floor one in shibuya.
@@CapChronic Wow, thanks awesome!
The one in LA.
@@CapChronic yep. I have been in that one. I seen hand prints of Michael Jackson encased there.
Man, your dad had AMAZING taste. These are all games I also love - and any guy who calls Snatcher one of their faves... they're good in my books lol
Oh man its so amazing that you have so many old video clips from your dad and old video game footage . Ive said this in another comment section but your dad was a pioneer and legend and was one of the peoole that influenced a new generation of gamers and made us all who we are today .... GAMERS 🤜🏾🤛🏻 salute to you and your father
Thanks man that means a lot!
Would love more dads favorites from other consoles videos. This was great. Born in 81 and gaming was and still todsy my absolute passion. I live for gaming man.
As a guy who had a Dad growing up that didn't give a shit, this is a channel I cannot help but keep coming back to. So so lovely
My father, who died in 2010, played the Master System but never showed much interest in the Genesis or Sega CD (he still gamed well into the 2000s but on various laptops).
The one slightly amusing anecdote I have about him with the Sega CD was that he was holding a week-between-Christmas-and-New-Years party for a few of his friends in the living room upstairs in 1993 or 1994 and I guess he wanted to put on a CD but the Radio Shack Realistic CD player that he had bought the best part of a decade earlier in late 1985 was no longer playing discs all that reliably. So he came downstairs to the family room, possibly while I was playing something on the Genesis or Sega CD (or maybe I was just watching television) and started to pick up the Sega CD unit. I had to inform him of one major flaw with his plan, namely that there were no external CD player controls on the Sega CD itself and you kind of needed it to be attached to the Genesis which, in turn, needed to be attached to a television to be able to play music CDs properly (and there wasn't any TV to hook it up to in the living room since it was a fairly small living room as far as living rooms go, just a component stereo system).
I suppose he could have had hooked up the Genesis and Sega CD to the stereo anyway and blindly fumbled around with the Genesis controller until a CD started playing but it would have been blind luck.
Another memorable video Tyler. Your late Father had great taste in games and game music. God rest his soul.
I hope you kept your Dad's copy of snatcher, the value is up the roof for a complete copy. Of course you knew that already.
Keep up the great videos.
Only game my dad ever played was probably 15min of Lethal Enforcers 2. He also watched me play through Red Dead for hours. The man loves his Westerns
That's SO COOL your dad was able to appreciate Snatcher back in the day! Amazing classic. 😎
Your Dad had great taste in games and it was really nice hearing about your Sega CD memories with him! The fact that you guys got to experience a game like Snatcher together and share that memory is amazing and I totally get feeling sad after beating a game because you're leaving that world. It just so happens that I reacquired a Sega CD console and Genesis model 1 after 26 years and will be definitely be checking out the games you mentioned in this video that I haven't played. I just discovered that the Sega CD can played burned games so that is awesome. I'm not ashamed to admit that I just played through the Power Rangers game for Sega CD and had fun with it.
love to see more vids about your Father, hes a legend. He seemed like he was so chill and fun to be around. You are one lucky guy to have such a cool family.
Thanks for this series Tyler! The nostalgia is unbelievable, even though oceans separate us, it just shows how similar we all are. I live in Sydney Australia and it seems like you just live down the street. I cannot thank you enough mate. All the best, Nathan.
This is some of the best content on RUclips! Great work Tyler, nice homage to dad!
Thanks Greg!
I had the tower of terror. I had the Genesis, Sega CD underneath it, and then the 32x.
What made the Sega CD so great was the sound effects and music. It was a look into the future. I remember having NHL 94 on Sega CD, and I was blown away. The opening of the game with actual video, the music, and then actual crown sound and organ music was amazing.
That's interesting to see what games your dad liked. Snatcher is definitely a classic
Playing through Snatcher with your dad is legendary. It's so great.
Honestly this makes my heart warm , I remember times like this with my dad from the Nintendo to the ps1 it’s crazy how times have flown by
Man, your dad is absolutely awesome. I myself am 42 years old with two kids of my own. And funny enough my Mega Drive and Sega CD add on is connected to my old tv. I love playing on the Sega CD and it has some great gems.
I still cant express enough how happy I am that you have all this footage and these memories. Thank you so much for sharing :)
I love seeing Sega CD gets it's due. Might be one one of if the not THE console that I have the most nostalgia for.
Hey My Retro Life I genuinely love your content but I'm not the average fan that you might expect I am only 15 and enjoy hearing about my favourite hobby retro games when they were new and seeing your series is surreal.
Wow that’s so cool! Love hearing from young retro gamers. You’re around the age I was when I started really getting into the retro scene on the internet. Back then in 2000 / 2001 it was more about the Atari generation! Thanks for watching
Your dad was a great man! I was stricktly a Nintendo fan as a kid, but there was one game for the Sega CD that I had to have. I remember working my butt off mowing lawns and anything else, just so I could buy a Sega CD console. The game I'm referring to is WWF Rage in the Cage. When I finally got it, it was worth the year long wait. I loved the LJN 16-bit WWF games, and Rage was the biggest one they developed at the time. So cool.
I only played my cousins Sega CD a few times.. luv that ur dad played games with u. My dad bought me a super nes with zelda and we played it together it took us a year to beat it
The 90's were absolutely unique. People think it's just another historical relativism, but it's NOT. Just think how many consoles there were fighting for our money mid 90's (over 10!). 3DO, Saturn, PC FX, Jaguar, PlayStation, Pippin, CDi, Nintendo 64, Amiga... all just a couple years apart from each other. It was literally one revolution after another. The 90's were the beginning of the two greatest events in gaming history: 3D graphics and online play. When the Sega CD was released we were all blown away (don't even get me started on the 3DO! It was like alien technology!!!). Videos like this make for an unvaluable historical record. This is history in the making before our very eyes. Never to be seen again. 😥
I had the same experience with my dad jointly playing through Dragon Warrior in the 80's. Those shared experiences mean so much as we age.
So cool. I had no idea The Terminator had that kind of animation. Actually looks great to this day.
It really does. Definitely check it out
Thank you Tyler for introducing me to Wolfchild on Sega CD. I beat it yesterday and the soundtrack is one of my favorites of all time now!
"Fox you're becoming more and more like your father everyday."
man your videos just transport me back to my childhood.
i miss it so much.
getting the sega genesis on my birthday, and just fell in love with sonic.
and that christmas when my brother was moving out he gave me all his previous systems.
playstation, 64, dreamcast and a super nintendo.
and a year later my parents (santa) got me the PS2.
i will never forget those years.
and holy moly FLASHBACK? man i never got to play that one but i did get a free game from one of my brothers friends called "fade to black" that is supposedly the sequel.
i didnt get to far in that game, i was too scared lmao the death animations had me shook.
Always enjoy these, man. Your Dad's footage makes me very nostalgic I just want to go back to that time😢 If only for a little while lol.
They had a promotional video of the Mega CD here in Australia before it came out...The video showed games and went for about 20 minutes, I think I watched that vid about 200 times..I never did get the Mega CD until I got older like in my mid 40's I proudly display my Mega CD now..I also got a Victor wonder mega great work bro 🙏🏽👍🏾
Your dad was a heck of a good father. So fun to relive your memories. Thank you.
This is my favorite console of all time. Snatcher, the working design games, the arcade ports. I still love my sega cd!
Flashback was one of my favorite games such a great game. Blackthorn was awesome as well
Your dad truly had good taste ,thank you for showing us this, what a beautiful time.
Your videos remind me of the first video game I played with my dad. It was river raid on my atari 2600. He also loved duck hunt on my nes. My dad wasn't big into games like yours. When my nephew was born I always loved playing video games with him. We bonded so much playing video games. Keep doing your great videos.
My dad wasn’t a Sega guy, but he did play games.I relate to this. He solved the original Myst by himself with notes and everything. I got my habit of making gamefaq guides from him.
Man, thank you for showing the Sega CD some love. I see so many people bashing it, calling it a huge failure, but in my eyes it was an amazing console. It introduced me to my favorite genre of games; point and click adventure games. I received Secret of Monkey Island for Christmas in '93 just because my mom thought the case looked cool. I hadn't even heard of it, honestly wasn't even all that hyped about it after reading the back of the case. Of course I played it up a little when I opened it, I'd never tell my parents I was disappointed with a gift. We are a family of 5 and living off of just my dad working so money was ultra tight. But my parents did everything they humanly could to make us happy. So I ended up opening up Monkey Island thr day after Christmas and trying it out, really more looking forward to playing Prize Fighter, but those plans changed about an hour into playing Monkey Island. I was so engrossed in it, the music, the setting, the offbeat humor. It became my obsession and to this day I still play it.
Your dad was so awesome . I shed tears at the happiness of it all . My parents had no interest at all in video games after the Atari 2600 . I can remember excitedly running to my dad to tell him that I beat Mr. X in Kung Fu on the NES or that I beat Kid Icarus and got barely a response from him even though it ment the world to me . I am lucky to still have my dad at 75 years old and I love him dearly , but we had virtually nothing in common while I was growing up . Your dad was VERY special !!!!
these videos bring such warm feelings of nostalgia… love your work
Your videos are so solid and I love getting the nostalgia from each one
For me it was WWF Raw on Sega CD. I loved it.
I love when your dad says " you pulled it off !"
Love the channel mate it brings back so many nostalgic memories.Your father was a legend . Iam doing the gaming stuff with my kids and got them into old skool gaming and collecting
Great video. Nice to see an enthusiastic unbiased take on the Sega CD. Solid picks. The Sega CD had some great titles if you ignored the FMV fad. If nothing else, the Sega CD was a nice stopgap between the 16-bit era and the Sony Playstation.
Awesome episode, Tyler! Your dad was so passionate about film and gaming, so i can relate because i am too. He foresaw that haming would become big. So amazing that he captured so much footage of you and your family gaming back then!
My dad died in 92' when I was 7, so this is really cool to watch. I can imagine the games we would have played. Sad but actually pretty interesting.
Your so lucky to experience family like that. Incredible story! Made my day🙂
Oh 100% and never take it for granted
I’m speechless. Amazing content. Thank you for sharing this part of your life. Although i didn’t own a console in the 90s I will never forget the times I spent watching my dad play pc games on his DOS and windows 95 pc. From Road Rash to Duke Nukem and everything in between. Such great memories. Thank you!! ♥️♥️♥️
NBA jam was my favorite! Thanks for bringing the memories back! Love it!
You had a very special dad! And this channel is a gem that deserves waaaay more subs and views. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us
Beautiful episode. Thanks for sharing! 🍻
I was born in 85 and I remember all of these games. I also remember sewer shark, sonic cd, lunar, and many others lol. Good times. 👍
Man ur dad reminds me so much of mine esp on Xmas morning. You had the coolest dad in the world buddy
Thanks for making this video...dear ol' Dad was the one who got our family the Magnavox Odyssey^2 way back when I was a little kid, starting a love for video games. It's great that you have all that old footage saved to help cherish those times. I loved the SEGA CD as well, with Snatcher easily being my favourite -- it's still in the collection!
Yes! I was hoping to see you cover Snatcher. Really awesome stuff.
I can see how appealing and groundbreaking flashback could be. The characters movement are definitely a step up for a video game especially back then.
After having watched several of your videos now, I have slowly built this picture of your channel not really being about your childhood in gaming EXACTLY, but actually it's a shrine to your father. I see now that this man is sadly no longer with us.
What a wonderful tribute to the man, and to carry on his legacy too. I never met him, but it's clear that he would adore what you've done here with this channel, and clearly, from reading down here in the comments it strikes a powerful chord with many others too.
The kind of dad it's sad everyone can't have.
Best wishes.
Dang I haven't heard the word pocket book since the 90's...got a little extra nostalgic for me
Dude I've just found your chanel and I'm loving what I'm seeing, I'm having the best flashbacks 🤣🤣🤣, as a 40 year old man I started playing video games in 1987, and I've had every system since lol apart from Xbox one, can't wait to see what games and stories you have for us, ps love the longer videos 👍
There was a moment in a video of you as a kid with flashback and you said you didn't even know it was out yet. I miss those moments. Now we are connected to everything and so many little surprises like that are gone in our current reality. Le sigh... either way I enjoyed your sharing friend. got my sub and bell.
Snatcher!! I just played and beat that game a month ago, and had the same disappointing feeling that it was over when I beat it, but I'm definitely planning on starting it over again soon! Thank you for posting this!!
I love my sega cd... I'm 44 now and still have the original one I bought... still in perfect condition with the box..? Sega cd is still my all time favorite console
Your Dad sounds like a real bro ,love your videos.
Well now I'm really bummed I never got to play Sega CD! These look like some awesome games. Thank you for sharing and also posting the link to your dad's movie. I'm going to check that out next.
Man i feel like my dad was the same way, he had bought a Sega cd for us as well but we were too young to realize the potential.
"Snatcher! What's that?" I don't know, just one of the greatest games of ALL TIME!
Gotta love and appreciate these eras in gaming. Today could learn a huge lesson in love and compassion put into games of old.
Hearing about your Christmases as a family brings a smile to my face, whether it's because of the narration, the video footage, or even how crazy the hauls can get.
However, if you're uploading extended cuts of older videos, could you upload your Disney Afternoon retrospective? I'd love to see that again.
On another note, I strongly feel like your father would have LOVED the Jeff Fowler Sonic movies.
My favorites were Sewer shark and Spider-Man cd. I remember by older brother brought one home and I was amazed it played cds lol. I really enjoy your videos and binge watch here and there. I’m 40, I vividly remember so much of your old videos. Thanks for the videos and bringing back really great memories
I love your video memories so much. It really makes my day and brings me back to a day of happy and simpler times. It was nice seeing what your Dad liked too this time. I love the Sega Cd a large amount as well, so much that I have two of them. Lol. I have a Model 2 hooked up to the Mega SG on our living room TV and I have the Model 1 Beauty hooked into the Hi Def graphics Genny and a 32X to make the tower hooked up to the Big Crt in the game room. Here are some of my favorites from the system. First, two of your Dad’s also make my list. The Terminator and Snatcher! Both incredible games. They have aged so well. Even though Tommy T has been silly with Amico, that soundtrack he did for Terminator is awesome. Here are my other favorites for the system.
Sports: Nba Jam and NHL 94.
Fighting Games: Eternal Champions and Mortal Kombat
Shmups: Android Assault: Revenge of Bari Arm
Platformers: Pitfall The Mayan Adventure, Mickey Mania, Sonic Cd, and Earthworm Jim Special Edition.
RPGs: Lunar, Lunar 2, and Shining Force Cd
Finally, odd ended game but a game I play and enjoy with my 10 year old today, Star Wars Chess. So fun and funny.
I’m probably going to say something everyone has said before but I remember finding your videos years ago on Amazon! I couldn’t stop watching these chronicles of your childhood and family! I relate to sooo much of your childhood, but I never had as many games as you lol!
Sometimes it’s just nice to take a break from this crazy world and go back to the 80’s and 90’s to relive so many similar experiences through your videos! So while I obviously never got to meet your dad, he seems like he was awesome and I know he’d be proud of you for passing on one of his hobbies to his granddaughter lol! Thanks for sharing these with us! It takes me back to a simpler time!
My favorite sega cd game and I still have my original copy is rise of the dragon. Man I loved that game
I like these videos. My dad loved Sega CD and 32X too...its a fond memory for me because that was the last real system we played together, .... about that time he got hooked into drugs and alcohol, and we never really connected with video games again. The summer we borrowed the Sega CD and 32X for my summer vacation, always makes me smile. I don't care what anyone says, we had a blast with Sewer Shark.
This channel deserves more love!
Really cool video man, truly the best timeline. Video games have just not been the same for me since Sega stop making hardware. I really miss these times.
It’s nice to see videos like this as the Sega CD truely had some very good games but unfortunately Perception and how the media at the time talked about it would make one think otherwise
Absolutely fantastic video! Tyler, Adam Koralik just bought The Terminator on Sega CD C.I.B. He said it's been one of his holy grail games to own. He showed and talked about it in his August pickups video.
Sega CD and games were so expensive to get, but the experience of going to the store to get a game. That wasn't like anything else out there are awesome memories. Now, everything is digital or cloud gaming in my house.
I totally forgot about Wolfchild, great game. Your dad rocking out to the Wolfchild soundtrack is crazy to me. An adult appreciating game music in the 90s would have put me in a coma.
glad to see others enjoy such a great childhood as did i. I love my parents
Dude, as a Sega kid I'm horribly jealous. Best Christmas ever.
lunar, Road Avenger and Willy Beamish was a few of my favorites on the system. Love Prince of Persia and Flashback but never played them on the Sega CD. I rented Mansion of Hidden Souls because I really liked the 7th Guest and it reminded me of it. Great Video even better memories, thanks for sharing.
