    My dad used to give me a quarter to play the arcade Roadblaster outside our Walmart every time we went there. I had no clue there was a Genesis port. I'm gonna pick it up in memory of him.
  • @AfroRyan
    Poor Rocket Knight. I'm sure that was a hard one to leave out.
  • @jaredwhite200
    I’m so lucky that I had the best of both worlds back in the early 90s. I had both A Sega Genesis & a Super Nintendo & I loved them both so much
  • @radbuster4403
    after a long crappy day at work this is exactly what I need to cheer me up, thanks Sega Lord X!
  • I’m so happy you gave Ranger X an award. It is my #1 favorite Game on the Genesis.
  • @jjeaze
    20:40 once the category came up i was like the winner will be SOR2 im calling it. Then you said "you knew this had to be here" by far the best beat em up ever made!
  • @Soynereh
    I'd add an adventure-action genre to include Monster World IV, Centy and Beyond Oasis.
  • It makes me a little wistful that Rocket Knight Adventures didn't win any awards (I did see it as a runner-up in the expanded list in the description, though) but honestly, I can't disagree with a single winner or runner-up in the video, these games are all simply stellar!
  • @officerj2002
    Damn you posted this video around 2-3am for me😂 still watching it
  • @Patsfan1987
    Was hoping Road Rash 2 would be #1, that game was played by me and everyone in the neighborhood almost everyday! Truly a great game
  • @maxbspqr
    Sir, the quality of the content you keep pumping out is unreal! What an amazing channel! Greetings from Rome, Italy.
  • @alroulexe4996
    A superb console, the Megadrive! We'd get back mashed from the pub and I'd go into a zone on Columns, unbeatable! Glad you mentioned Vectorman, so classy, that one. I loved the Dragons pinball games, Crue Ball too. Good times!!
  • thanks for making ristar at least a runner up the game is phenomenal i wish more people were aware of it's majesty. it's my fav game of all time
  • @miketate3445
    I had no idea the music in Gauntlet was that good.
  • @skins4thewin
    So glad Gauntlet 4 got a mention for best music. For my $ it is without question the #1 title in that regard. That soundtrack is just insane & absolutely blew me away the first time I heard it. It really does sound like something that doesn't seem possible on the Genesis & the instrumentals almost sound real. It's incredibly impressive!
  • Your VO adds so much to this content! Such a compelling narration throughout, really genuinely television-level. Love your channel, man <3
  • @sev2300
    Your video created fantastic moments, filled with nostalgia, for me this morning. Thanks very much.
