I'm rewatching this entire series. I'm still incredibly disappointed that this show is canceled/discontinued. To me, this was the best, most interesting, and FUN show on any of the related channels. What an absolute shame.
I absolutely love the entire concept behind this channel series. It's like reliving my childhood because you're honoring the time period these games came out in.
4:02 Good to see Jared is a man of culture.
Also I still wish you had talked about Xardion on SNES. Not as notable in 90's cheese as Rival Turf, but it had some pretty great game play with swapping between 3 robots on the fly.
That Alisia Dragoon box art is selling me on it now. If I was a Genesis kid I'd definitely want it for my collection, but I have no Genesis collection. Game also looks pretty fun!
Alisia Dragoon is now available on the Online Expansion service of the Switch.
Go try it out!
Today is - no pun intended - August 13 2023... it's amazing how far we've come. Loving it. Especially funny and cool I find how Editor Dylan has evolved 😊
I really want a "Where are they now?" featuring the Rival Turf cover art guys.
and the old banjo player on Phalanx? What became of him?
He’s dead
The guy on the right looks like Mark Wahlberg.
Alisia Dragoon is one of the best Mega Drive games. It looks gorgeous and has such an amazing soundtrack, every song is fantastic! The game is hard AF though especially the last 3 levels. It throws everything including the kitchen sink at you. Defo a rinse and repeat game to learn the spawning and how enemies play, extremely satisfying to play and to hear the Mega Drive's attempt at an orchestral end credits. It's on the Switch Expansion Pack! Give it a shot!
i used to play peace keepers all the time, i gotta play that again now
Shout out from Wisconsin!
I don't think I've ever played any of these games. Alisia Dragoon seems like it might be neat though.
let's go! April 22nd! 1992
That is some seriously intense Rembrandt style lighting! And it’s coming across as a little...purple? Did you use a gel on your light or something?
Great video
Let's get this channel boosted up!
too bad it's over...
Yeah I got bad news for you
@@Chummy8 right 😭😮💨
I love how the third game in the Rushing beat series is called "The Peacekeepers". Cause the best way to be a peacekeeper is to go around beating the crap out of everyone.
I think one of the A-Bombs was nicknamed, "The Peacemaker." I would think that to be funny had it not worked so well
RIP now in the 90s
Rival Turf certainly has a very good cover despite being underwhelming.
Those people marketing the games knew what they were talking about. It may be easy to prefer anime-styled box arts nowadays because of anime's cultural significance, but back then we didn't want cutesy, overly cartoonish heroes. We wanted everything to be radical, and badass by our standards, and expectations of the time. I genuinely believe that a lot of games back then wouldn't have sold as well if they hadn't updated the box artworks to appeal to Western audiences of the time, no matter how much we can look back and mock them.
Of course, I'm saying this as somebody who felt that way back then. Heck, while Dragon Ball Z would go on to become my favorite television program of all time, back when I first saw commercials for the original Dragon Ball on TV, I immediately disregarded it as garbage for no other reason than because it looked like Street Fighter for babies. An opinion based heavily on how the show looked, and a mentality that would've no doubt translated to judging video game box arts as well.
Helping with algo
This series is awesome!
I loved Alisia Dragoon as a kid. I don't remember ever finishing it but loved the way it looked and played.
Love this channel, great idea
Golden axe doesn't get old
a real treasure 😃👍
I've seen footage of Alisia Dragoon come up a number of times during My Life in Gaming's video quality comparisons and it got my attention. Thanks for reminding me to try it out.
As for the cover, I've never cared for the "westerny" look of things, even back then, but that's just me.
Still own a copy of alisia dragoon. I remember enjoying the game a lot as a kid, though I never got passed the 3rd level from what I can remember.
I had Rival Turf. My brother and I played the heck out of it. I remember seeing in a magazine that Brawl Bros. was a sequel to it, but never got to check it out. I did end up getting Peace Keepers though.
I actually had Alisia Dragoon as a kid my aunts boyfriend at the time gave it to me in 94 and I loved it. I then spent years as a adult trying to explain the game to people who had never heard of it and I couldn't remember it's name. Turns out I still own it and I was real happy when it got added to the Switch Virtual console recently.
I freaking like the Rushing Beat trilogy , played Brawls Brothers a lot's back in the days.
Seconding everything that's been said about Alisia Dragoon. It's a fun game and more people should try it out. That being said, the last two levels are extremely difficult! That's where most of my playthroughs end. On a side note, I wish there were posters of the Japanese box art or maybe at least some high resolution scans, because I would definitely love to have this game's cover art adorn my living room.

Best thing I could find!
I personally think Rival Turf is better then the SNES port of the first Final Fight game because it includes multiplayer.
Gainax made all the story and art. Game Arts wrote the code. The same Gainax writers and artists that made Alisia Dragoon worked on Miyazaki's Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. It becomes obvious when you compare them. It’s a very special game.
90s boxart!:Yeah!
I played POOL OF RADIANCE so many times. I was disappointed that they didn't put the next one Curse of the Azure Bonds on the SNES.
I am really curious how it sold in Japan. They love complicated games, so would they like D&D in the early 90's.
Games of the Week
Rival Turf
Alisia Dragon
best show!
I was wondering where this show went well time to sub and catch up
I used to play this game too. Now I still have the CD player and the game disc
Jared before recording this video: "I could comb my hair, but...eh, YOLO!"
Well....now its over; its time to restart watching from the start....
......sigh
Rival Turf was a game we rented solely because it had co-op, something Final Fight lacked. Ended up buying a copy for like ten bucks on clearance and had a fun time. The sequels are way better, especially The Peace Keepers, but it was a solid if average title.
Rival Turf was my main Beat em Up. It was the one that was always available to rent and unlike Final Fight, it was a two player game. It is a boring beat em up, but so are all the other ones too when you think about it. It does have a fun fighting engine, and controls perfectly
Xardion didn't get It's own segment here.
we were so young
I can't believe people hate Rival Turf so much. It was a good game, my brother and I used to rent it all the time. What's to hate?
I guess the buying public just isn't a bunch of intellectual movie critics and they do what they like.
Comment for algorithm:)
Brawl Brothers is on Nintendo Switch Online. It truly refuses to die off. And it's one of the worst beat-em-ups I've ever played.
There was a riot on the streets... tell me where were you
nice

Are we SURE Pool of Radiance is a great game? I love RPG’s of all kinds but even when the gold box games came out I felt that they sucked.
What made rival turf stand out against final fight…on the SNES? It was two players, final fight wasn’t!!
You better back up, fool, my AC is 3 and my THACO is 19.
👍👍👍👍🕹🕹
BOOZE IS EVIL!
:)
When he talks about wanting to be cool kids he reminds me of all the dorks I used to beat the crap out of back in the 90's. Beat them at video games, too, but I never played Rival Turf. Looked like a game for dorks
Only dorks wear leather jackets and backward baseball caps, anyway.
Ugh, THAC0...
No, it's not! You are doing a 8min video to speak a 30sec about that game and you say it's worth playing! Are you kidding!!!
