Sega brought the arcade experience home starting with the Mega Drive. The Saturn gave us some almost arcade perfect ports of 2D fighters and finally the Dreamcast brought home some truly arcade perfect ports. For anyone into arcade games, there was no other choice. It wasn’t only the software, the hardware along with logo design was spot on too, Sega design looks cool to this day. To be this good takes ages, to be this good takes….
Thanks for this one. Nintendo kid switched to Sega kid in the 90s over here 😃 😊 😀 😄 😁 😆 😃. We all wish we can go back to some point during those magical days 🎩 . Keep up the blast to the past Sega Lord X 🎮
Wow, I'll watch the video yet for sure, congratulations in advance for the presentation format, and please always keep posting even if you feel like there's no more Sega content eventually, but there always is.Thank you very much, Mr. Lord X, greetings from São Paulo.
I got my Saturn with World Series Baseball. It’s the only baseball game I finished a complete 162 game season on… and it only had 4 stadiums to play in. Yankee Stadium, the Astro Dome, Wrigley Field and Fenway. 😅
Dude I love your channel. I’ve been in love with Sega since I got the Genesis for my birthday in 1993. Right now I’m collecting sega published games for the 360. Happy I came across your channel. Sega Forever
rastan was my jam in the arcades and i purchased it for the master system ..back in the 80's SEGA was so popular in the arcades … Space Harrier by far was my favorite for game play look and sound track .. for black belt i stumbled on a glitch if you hit the reset button at the perfect time on the title screen it would reset and give you unlimited men . i was so pumped to find that as a kid … my master system was one of the snail maze built in consoles..
I just came back from a week of vacation in Tokyo, and I explored half the shops and arcades in Akihabara. All the Sega goodness that you could ask for, including some retroarcades with plenty of superscalers. It really made me think of your channel, you guy make me want to start a Sega collection, but 1) everything here is obviously in Japanese, and I don't speak the language, and 2) one day I need to return to my country and I don't want to accumulate too much stuff 😰 Anyway, I love your channel, and wish you the best for this new year 2023.
I would add Rings of power to the good sound track list. Also Super off road to the racing list. I also never knew that NBA hang time was the third NBA jam game in the series. I over looked NBA hang time because I thought it was a different game. I over looked greatest heavyweights. I thought it was just a clone of Evander Hollyfield boxing
Love watching your videos. Always gets me hyped to go play some games and feel like I'm sharing an experience. Going back and playing Sega CD and Sega Saturn feels amazing especially these days when everything that comes out feels the same. Such unique and varied experiences.
Sega Genesis held its own against the SNES, even besting it in some ways, but not the SMS. I owned both the NES and SMS and I really regretted asking for the latter. The truth is there were almost no games in North America, what we did get was mostly trash, and the majority of the games today considered as some of the system's best were either foreign exclusives or Genesis ports released after 1989, when most Sega fans and many gamers had already moved on to 16-bit.
I can’t believe you didn’t pick eternal champions challenge from the dark side or whatever it was called as best fighter. No one really played it but I tell you I played the hell out of it and it was one of the most amazing games no one ever played.
When I was growing up , it was a Nintendo household because my late wonderful dad loved Nintendo so naturally I love Nintendo still to this day for over 33 years since 1990.
Interesting video. About 20 years ago someone sold me a handful of Master System games for $-0.99 each. Over the years, I've been trying to buy manuals and cases to make them complete. I've never played the master system and haven't ever owned one. I'm happy to see that many of the ones I got were on this list, even if this were the first time I'd seen them.
Last month i bought a MD2 + CD2 + 32X and Thunderhawk (or Thunderstrike) with it. I was surprised. This is how the CD addon should have been. Plays decent, clear and good soundtrack, full voice acting and cutscenes. Good for a round here and there.
Games like snatcher were also worth having on the megacd The added mode7 scrolling that the megacd was capable of should have been used alot more to bring it up to snes levels and beyond along with the CD audio and larger game capacity Fmv games like road avenger and thunderhawk were definitely great but the console should have been pushing more 3d like games instead of megadrive games with a CD sound track
I loved Rastan on the master system. I remember faking being sick as a kid just to get to fight the final boss dragon. Phantasy Star was fun, my favorite character was Odin.
My cousin had a Sega Master system I wanted the NES because I love Super Mario Brothers in the arcade. It was definitely the right choice. Master system had the edge on the graphics but not the games.
I remember a friend of mine used to go around to another mates place just to play phantasy star. he would be on it for hours and never got his own system. I've always wanted to start this game but have never gotten around to it after all these years. Seems like an ideal game to play via steam deck.
I was jealous of my Genesis friends when I had NES...then my mom bought one for me on layaway..1990 or so..came with Sonic. I still have the same console and pack in sonic. I absolutely love it...
Sega could come back with a console right now and I’d be first in line. And I’m not even a sega guy. Sega’s consoles were different than the norm and the market needed it. Still does.
Genesis Personally, fatal fury 2 definitely is the best fighter games on the genesis. Best puzzle game is the first columns. I agree mk3 is the best mortal kombat game of the genesis and also the best digital sprite based game alongside wrestlemania arcade. Sega cd MK1 is terrible grainy missing content and rushed game. Sega cd racing is bc racers. Best fighter sega cd eternal championship. Runner up in sound is ecco the dolphin tides of time. Best graphics runner up starblade. Dreamcast Racing games runner up sega gt
Streets of Rage soundtrack gets no love??? What?!?! The music of that franchise is legendary and has gone down as some of the best engineered music in video game history to this day. I demand a recount. Lol!
I'm honestly surprised that you still haven't done reviews on Cyborg Justice and Mystical Fighter - both Sega Genesis' obscure Beat-em-ups. I hope you'll get around to those two.
Loved all these. Well done! (As usual for SLX crafted videos) This is probably a very niche video idea suggestion but would love to see dedicated coverage of artists/ OST composers such as: Masaharu Iwata, Hitoshi Sakimoto, Motoi Sakuraba and others. Amazing talent there!
For me, Mickey Mouse: Land of Illusion was my favourite over Castle of Illusion 8-Bit. I preferred the adventure and exploration element Land of Illusion offered over Castle of Illusion.

Shadow Dancer and Revenge of Shinobi are two of my favourites on the megadrive
Man, what I would give to see a new Shining Force. Such a fantastic series. Love those games to pieces.
So would I
Valkria Chronicles, is you game then
I never played the sequels, but I've played the original exactly six times, if memory serves.
@@ThatPrettyBMF Shining Force 2 is the greatest in the series. Definitely worth a go if you haven't played it.
Oh hell yeah. This is SLX's Avatar. Let's start 2023 with a bang
I got my Saturn with World Series Baseball. It’s the only baseball game I finished a complete 162 game season on… and it only had 4 stadiums to play in. Yankee Stadium, the Astro Dome, Wrigley Field and Fenway. 😅
The genesis handles arcade ports of ATARI and Bally/Williams arcade games exceptionally well

Goodness almost 3 hours. I would have to break it up into episodes lol.

Thanks for your videos , happy 2023

Wow thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos! Another amazing video!
Thank you always for the good videos 💯 Happy New Year ! 😀

Happy new year "SEGA Lord X"🎉🎉
Happy New Year, Sega Lord! Your channel has been a true gift for a lot of us. Keep em coming 🍻
The one thing you cannot argue with is the quality of your work and research
I would probably have switched the rpg picks for the Genesis, but loved this list of games. I loved Sega back then, and rediscovering the love now.
Sega Genesis held its own against the SNES, even besting it in some ways, but not the SMS. I owned both the NES and SMS and I really regretted asking for the latter. The truth is there were almost no games in North America, what we did get was mostly trash, and the majority of the games today considered as some of the system's best were either foreign exclusives or Genesis ports released after 1989, when most Sega fans and many gamers had already moved on to 16-bit.
I had a Commodore 64. 8 bit gaming wasn’t the best but it’s all we had 😂
Happy New Year SegalordX! Another full long year filled with high quality Sega videos from the Master.
Happy new year Sega Lord X new year same great man keep the greatness coming in 2023 wish we had a game gear and 32x awards
Me, after nodding and taking notes for 2 hours and 45 mins:
"Wait, how did they steal a satellite??"
I can’t believe you didn’t pick eternal champions challenge from the dark side or whatever it was called as best fighter. No one really played it but I tell you I played the hell out of it and it was one of the most amazing games no one ever played.
Little bozo this isn't your list
Sonic 2 best platformer on Master System. It actually pushed the capabilities of the Master System to the limit.
Happy New Year Sega Lord X, and happy gaming.
Haha he didnt respond 😂😂😂
When I was growing up , it was a Nintendo household because my late wonderful dad loved Nintendo so naturally I love Nintendo still to this day for over 33 years since 1990.
Years were kind to you, you had a dad that picked the obvious winner, lol
Finally completed my Saturn console collection. I now have all versions of the console including the rare Skeleton variants
Interesting video. About 20 years ago someone sold me a handful of Master System games for $-0.99 each. Over the years, I've been trying to buy manuals and cases to make them complete. I've never played the master system and haven't ever owned one. I'm happy to see that many of the ones I got were on this list, even if this were the first time I'd seen them.
29:57 I spent hours playing tournaments in this game with my brother, cousin and great uncle. Sweet memories and great times.
The batman soundtrack at 53:27 is incredible.
This list is woefully incomplete without the Sega Pico
Hell nah I almost forgot about pico 😂 my brother had one, I was too old for it
Show me Burning Force for Genesis. Love that game. Some of the greatest music of any game and definitely the best for Genesis.
Last month i bought a MD2 + CD2 + 32X and Thunderhawk (or Thunderstrike) with it. I was surprised. This is how the CD addon should have been. Plays decent, clear and good soundtrack, full voice acting and cutscenes. Good for a round here and there.
Core Designs were the only developer who did that hardware justice. Not even Sega themselves did anything good with it.
Games like snatcher were also worth having on the megacd
The added mode7 scrolling that the megacd was capable of should have been used alot more to bring it up to snes levels and beyond along with the CD audio and larger game capacity
Fmv games like road avenger and thunderhawk were definitely great but the console should have been pushing more 3d like games instead of megadrive games with a CD sound track
The blast processing here is insane.
Shining force was one of my favorite, that sound track brings me back
I loved Rastan on the master system. I remember faking being sick as a kid just to get to fight the final boss dragon. Phantasy Star was fun, my favorite character was Odin.
My cousin had a Sega Master system I wanted the NES because I love Super Mario Brothers in the arcade. It was definitely the right choice. Master system had the edge on the graphics but not the games.
Wow you never disappoint SLX. Great start to 2023!
WOW and Panzer Dragoon looks awesome, with a really beautiful soundtrack!
I remember a friend of mine used to go around to another mates place just to play phantasy star. he would be on it for hours and never got his own system. I've always wanted to start this game but have never gotten around to it after all these years. Seems like an ideal game to play via steam deck.
when it comes to gamingculture, this is one of if not the best video on whole youtube!
LFG!
Love you Sega Lord X!
I was jealous of my Genesis friends when I had NES...then my mom bought one for me on layaway..1990 or so..came with Sonic. I still have the same console and pack in sonic. I absolutely love it...
If only the US released the same Enduro Racer as they got in Japan. Best motorbike racing game of the 8-bit era, hands down.
Clicked just to make sure Shinobi 3 was in this video. Good job. Subbed.
Happy New Year SLX!
Zillion and Time Soldiers for Sega Master System (run and gun)
this is great, thanks
Sega could come back with a console right now and I’d be first in line. And I’m not even a sega guy. Sega’s consoles were different than the norm and the market needed it. Still does.
When I was a kid I bought the master system converter just so I could play Rampage and then got the Rocky game next
Wimbledon 2 and Tecmo World Cup 93 for the Master System(sports)
happy 2023 brother!
Best racing: Super Hang On
Best Sport: International Superstar Soccer Deluxe
Mi humilde opinión.
Nice series of videos. It would be cool to see what your take would be for Best of the Best with some non-Sega systems like Neo Geo and SNES.
Happy NY SLX! This has been added to my For Sure Watch later list 😜
I beat Sunsoft’s Batman on the Genesis while watching the 49ers beat the Seahawks today. It made me think of the guy who runs this channel.
It was a glorious victory.
thank you!!!!
Genesis
Personally, fatal fury 2 definitely is the best fighter games on the genesis. Best puzzle game is the first columns. I agree mk3 is the best mortal kombat game of the genesis and also the best digital sprite based game alongside wrestlemania arcade.

MK1 is terrible grainy missing content and rushed game. Sega cd racing is bc racers. Best fighter sega cd eternal championship. Runner up in sound is ecco the dolphin tides of time. Best graphics runner up starblade.

Racing games runner up sega gt
YASSSS🙌 WAY TO START 2023!! HAPPY NEW YEAR, MAN!
Awesome video
Castle of Illusion was absolutely amazing on Genesis!
Great Video,! Wonder Boy Series maybe Hidden Teasures too
WOWWWWW this Video is a GiFT 🎁 !!
Tecmo World Cup '93 is my pick for best sports game on the Master System.
Streets of Rage soundtrack gets no love??? What?!?! The music of that franchise is legendary and has gone down as some of the best engineered music in video game history to this day. I demand a recount. Lol!
I'm honestly surprised that you still haven't done reviews on Cyborg Justice and Mystical Fighter - both Sega Genesis' obscure Beat-em-ups.
I hope you'll get around to those two.
I recognized Night Birds from Shakatak as your transition music!
Thunder Force IV has incredible visuals!
Happy New Year man, thanks for all the videos!
"comic zone is your huckleberry!"...lol...nice Tombstone reference
I thought so.
Yu Yu was a pleasant surprise. I wonder if a 4-controller tap would work for it
Happy New Year Sega Lord X !!!!!!
