    The Lost World graphics were insane for 9 year old technology from the 80s

    I can honestly say Street Fighter Special Champion Edition blew my mind. I was astonished at how us Sega Genesis owners can now play Capcoms revered arcade hit at home. The sound was scratchy, but the great arcade gameplay was intact and since I had 4 six button controllers it was even more fun. I didn’t really like playing SF games on snes because of the shoulder buttons. All the punch and kick buttons were lined up in a row on the 6 button controllers. Shinobi 3 blew my mind as well, I friggin’ love that game.

    Fun fact: The Batman and Robin game's composer is Jesper Kyd. Yes, the Hitman composer.
  • @earthlydescent
    Mercs doesn't get enough love. It was the first Genesis game I purchased with my own money and it was one of my favorites.
  • @braillynn4903
    I remember being blown away by the graphics in Toy Story as a kid.
  • @brapcast
    Dune: Battle For Arrakis was like nothing else on console. The music is still covered by metal heads today!
  • @Ronsilk-pu5hr
    The graphics on toystory are absolutely incredible for the time.
  • @krono5el
    Red Zone on Genesis shattered my tiny brain back then. the way the chopper would push around the smoke sprites in real time was mind melting. still find it fascinating today.
  • Ive been buying bucket-list games ive never owned for the Genesis before they get even more expensive. Sunset Riders, Rolling Thunder 2 and 3, Shadow Dancer(shinobi 2), Gauntlet 4, Cru Ball (with the motley crue soundtrack). I love them all👍
  • Strider was the ultimate shit. I rented it and I remember recording the music to a cassette tape :D
  • @bryancook6345
    Yeah I agree the sega mega drive games were great but they weren’t playing as the arcade cause the console was a 16 bit graphics and still today you’ll find these games in 16 bit digital instead of arcade version
  • @bix64000
    Gunstar Heroes and Thunderforce IV were my Megadrive mind blowing games.
  • @CokerCulture
    This was a fantastic watch! Played the heck out of Toy Story when I was younger; remember it being a lot more difficult than I thought it should be. Also loved Sonic & Knuckles
  • @markenetube
    A floppy disk has the capacity of 800 KB to 2.8 MB with a standard of 1.44 MB. LOL Good video. I forgot how amazing the Mega Drive was.
  • @adamlach6572
    Damn some of these visuals are mind blowing! It just shows what is important is artstyle... and swag :) (gameplay obviously is the key feature)
  • @brooklynboiprod
    Good list You should check out The Phantom 2044, Target Earth, Weapon Lord , and LHX Attack Chopper. In LHX, you have the option to have views from different targets
