Every single time I see MUSHA on these lists I think about how I used to work in a game store in the early 90s and had many sealed copies pass through my hands. I loved that game back then and had no clue it would become so rare.
awesome video, genesis prices certainly have skyrocketed in the past few years. I'm glad I got everything I wanted just before it really increased in price haha.
Splatter house was not an NES game. It was turbo graphics and the arcade. I remember that struggle and going to the one kids house who had turbo graphics. Great video!
@@moonshinegaming I didn't mean to be "that guy" but like I stated I have vivid memories of that game. I can also give you a lot of games with female protagonists in the 8/16 bit Era if you'd like 😂
@@Avarice666 Don’t worry I’m not offended haha, the only ones I can think of on the Genesis / Mega Drive are Alison dragoon, anetto futatabi and dahna, I was just trying to say that it wasn’t very common to see female leads
@@moonshinegaming One of my favorite NES games is The Last Guardian which has a female lead. Well, she's technically a cybernetic transformer but hey that works. Looking forward to future videos!
@@Avarice666 I've never played it but I've heard of it, isn't it called Guardian Legend? It's top down adventure style like Zelda, right? I'll have to give it a play!
Great video! I've been a retro gamer/collector since '07 with a focus on Genesis, Saturn (for 6 yrs), SMS, GB, GBC,GBA. Where in Canada you from? Cgy here (from Winterpeg originally). You need Sega clothes man! Wal-mart's a great spot to buy official Sega shirts. Subbed!! 👍
Yea, covid has made a huge impact on retro game prices. I collect for the og Xbox, and I've watched prices rise steadily since just before covid, up to now. My own collections worth has gone up considerably. I'm sure once covid subsides, demand for these games will wain, and prices will drop again. Now is a tough time to collect retro games. Hell, it's even tough to buy the newer consoles and GPUs.
Might be a little bit before ur time friend but how about a video on rarest computer games, as in commodore amiga, sinclair spectrum, even amstrad just a suggestion. Keep up the good work
Musha used to be everywhere. Great game. Phantasy Star IV was overpriced as well as Super Street Fighter II. But surprised something like Valis IV, Ladystalker, or Landstalker or Saturday Live Slammasters wasn't in the list... gosh the Genesis is so fun.
About 6 years ago I bought a huge Rubbermaid tub full of old games and consoles from a co-worker. There were 48 Genesis games mostly CiB and MUSHA was in there CiB also, mixed with a few Saturn, Sega CD and 3dO games. Also had an entire Genesis Frankenstein system but it was in horrible condition and looked like he used it as an ashtray. Had a broken 3DO also. I ended up paying $50 for the whole thing, I made out like a bandit!
Considering the price of the cartridge, Crusader of Centy is the number one RPG that I wish had been included on the Sega Genesis Mini (although, yes, I know you can hack the Mini and add it, which is probably also true for any other Genesis or Mega Drive game except for Virtua Racing). One minor correction, the original Splatterhouse was never on the NES or Famicom, it was an arcade game that was ported to the NEC PC Engine/Turbografx-16 plus the FM Towns Marty and PC.
You’re right! It slipped my mind that it was only on turbo-graphx for some reason I thought it was on NES. Crusader of Centy would have been a great addition to the Genesis mini, especially with the price for it these days it would have been a good way to be able to play it without emulation or ROM hacking. Thanks for checking out the video!!
@@ostiariusalpha I didn't think it was possible to run the Genesis Virtual Racing without the SVP processor chip but I suppose they've found a way to emulate the chip too.
@@ostiariusalpha Or is the version of Virtua Racing you have running the 32X version? I see on Reddit that people have managed to get the 32X version to run on the Genesis Mini. They can emulate the 32X hardware in PicoDrive?
@@SteveBrandon I have both. I store all the 32X games together on a flash drive that I play on the mini console through an OTG connector on the back. Sega's SVP chip and Nintendo's FX chip were fast back in 1993-94, but nowadays their considered slow as molasses. While the mini's native emulator, the _m2engage_ core, isn't set up to run the SVP chip, there are several other cores that are; _Genesis Plus GX_ emulates it almost perfectly. And yes, _PicoDrive_ emulates 32X pretty well.
I have very fond memories of Crusader Of Centy. I rented it when it was new and then I bought a copy for around $50 a few months later. I even found the hint book at some random drug store that sold game strategy guides (I also bought strategy guides for Chrono Trigger and Super Mario Bros 3 from the place.) Eventually a few years later I sold my copy along with Shining Force II and Master Of Monsters (I started fazing out of loving RPG games so I sold some of my collection.) I wish I didn’t sell my copy since it’s worth so much money now sadly. Thankfully I still have the hint book laying around somewhere. The game itself was amazing and I really liked the music. The only other game on this list I had was The Punisher (I only bought it because it came with a tattoo). I didn’t really enjoy it but I gave it to my brother a few years later and he still has the game. I used the tattoo and if I recall correctly, I wore it to school the next day and almost got in trouble. I have played Skeleton Krew on an emulator website and I will admit it’s amazing but I wish it had a little more content like you said. It’s also worth noting it came out for the Amiga CD32 (Only in Europe though since that system never came to the USA.).
I ended up with Mega Turricon off eBay around 20 years ago. I think I paid around $10 plus shipping for it back then. It came with the case, but I have no idea where the case is now. And I ended up with Trouble Shooter, also from eBay. I think it was in a LOT of 4 games that I got on the cheap. Like $10-$15 cheap. Have a beat-up copy of the instructions and a cut up case with some of the cover art. I think it was an ex-rental and someone cut it up.
Maybe im totally not used to the US Genesis market, but here in Europe, Crusader of the Centy is called "Soleil" and costs under 50€ Or.. maybe this US price is the reason why it got expensive over the years. Soleil did costs a very long time only 10-20€
Hahaha! The only reason I had it on was because I was getting ready for a mario kart stream later that night, I've now forced myself to buy some sega tshirts of ebay haha. Thanks for checking out the video!
I had no fucking idea splatterhouse 2 was collectable. This was one of the first Sega games i bought as a kid. I bought it for 20 bucks at a swamp meet in 94.
Yeah I fudged that up haha 🤦♂️ I meant to say turbo grafx actually, although splatterhouse wanpaku graffiti was released on the Japanese NFC! Thanks for checking out the video 🙏🏼
Phantasy Star 4 was an awesome game (played it on an emulator) and it was one of the most expensive Genesis games out there. We need a new installment for the main story (not Universe or Online)
So I'm just gonna come right out and say it. You printed out the covers for all these games and stuck em in a genesis box didn't you? No shame, these games are expensive!
@@moonshinegaming yeah they aren't common in retro shops really because they aren't worth a lot and they commonly need capacitor replacements it's more trouble than it's worth but I have mine and also my grandma's from when I was a kid so they kind of sentimental plus there's some really good games on it
@@JohnnyBonesaw yeah I had to fix the screen on mine as well to get it working, there are definitely a few hidden gems on the game gear though. It’s a pretty under-rated system!
As stated at the beginning of the video, no homebrews were included on this list, which excludes Alien Soldier. Also, market value for Gunstar Heroes complete in box is only around $200 CAD at the moment which made it just shy of making the list. Both are great games though! Thanks for checking out the video 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Oh man, Mega Turrican is so much more of a complete experience than Super Turrican! Seriously, Super Turrican feels like a truncated greatest hits than anything else. Everyone’s got a different cup of tea, I suppose
I think it's worth around $20! I remember him being in a side scrolling platform game called Michael Jordan Chaos in the Windy City on the SNES, interesting game!
First of all: The PAL-versions are way more rare than the US-versions. I have seen The Punisher for 150 bucks in PAL like 15 years ago, when the US-version was about 40 bucks. It's not even rare actually. Crusader of Centy is named "Soleil" in PAL and is everything but rare. You find it at any corner. Show me "Death and Return of Superman", "Spiderman Seperation Anxiety" and "Daze before X-mas" as a PAL-version. Or "Ecco junior". Or "Mega Man the Wily Wars".
@@moonshinegaming Actually, the *second* game was released for famicom, and not Splatterhouse 2 either. It was a japan only game called 'Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti' that was its own thing. You should look into it sometime if you haven't already, it's REALLY goofy and fun XD (The original Splatterhouse came to PC Engine and Turbografx-16). That one slip up you mentioned aside, this was a wonderful video, keep up the great work! (Also sorry for any rudeness if there was any, I can get a bit carried away when talking about super obscure famicom games )
Your thumbnail sucks
It got you to click on it 😎
Damn you got owned lmaooo
@@moonshinegaming great name and came to post then saw this great clapback lol
Stop embarrassing ur self 💀
Lighting Force aka Thunder Force IV is the best Shmup on the Genesis.

The prices of Genesis games have gone up significantly since the last time I looked... WOW!

@@37Kilo2 For sure, I've put my collecting on hold until the prices come back down
@NALTO so…you’re a collector 🤣
Pretty good descriptions of the games overall, well done. As for run&gun, there is of course the excellent Contra Hard Corps on the console.
Another incredible game!
You've gotta get yourself some Sega gear! ahaha loving these top 10s!!
Agreed! I should look into getting some sega tshirts, thanks for watching 🤙🏼🤙🏼
You want a rare game on the Megadrive ? Tetris…
There isn’t more rare than that on the 16 bits system
Might be a little bit before ur time friend but how about a video on rarest computer games, as in commodore amiga, sinclair spectrum, even amstrad just a suggestion. Keep up the good work
Awesome suggestion!
Sega Genesis to me I think it had better game then snes
Both had really awesome games!
thank you for all the great lists!
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
A friend of mine had El Vento, it was pretty fun. I think I remember it having a cool looking jelly monster in it.
It’s a really fun game 👌
Musha used to be everywhere. Great game. Phantasy Star IV was overpriced as well as Super Street Fighter II. But surprised something like Valis IV, Ladystalker, or Landstalker or Saturday Live Slammasters wasn't in the list... gosh the Genesis is so fun.
Genesis has so many great games!!!! Sometimes I forget that cool spot was technically the “mascot” of 7up!
Musha Aleste is on the Mega Drive Mini. I’d rather go that route than buying an actual cartridge
I bought phantasy star in pawn shop 4 dollars

a mix between Castlevania and Metroid? I feel like there could be some sort of term coined here like Castletroid or Metroidvania
Haha I’ve heard people use the expression “Metroidvania” before! Thanks for checking out the video 🙏🏼
Where did yu get yur hat from
I got it from EB Games (Canadian version of Gamestop) a few years ago, cheers!
I knew Centy was going to come out on top. You should do Neo Geo, the prices of these games blow all other systems out of the water.
I’ve been saving it haha it’s going to be wild 😂
Nice video ND channel. +1 subscriber!
Awesome, thanks for the support!!
I have MUSHA, I paid less than $10 about 3 years ago.
Solid pickup!
Maybe im totally not used to the US Genesis market, but here in Europe, Crusader of the Centy is called "Soleil" and costs under 50€
Or.. maybe this US price is the reason why it got expensive over the years. Soleil did costs a very long time only 10-20€
There is definitely a huge difference in the PAL and NTSC pricing! Thanks for checking out the video 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Splatterhouse 2 it's an bloody good sequel and I will play it. 😀👍🎮

Unreal 🤙🏼🤙🏼 it’s definitely a super fun game
*Turrican 3 on AMIGA 500 and music is fantastic* ⭐️
I'm so glad I found Crusader of centy cib for $1.50 On half price Monday at a thrift store.

Not all of them but a few of them!
I’m happy to gloat that I have Phantasy Star 4 in box, though w/o a booklet.
I have Mega turrican, splatter house 2, musha. All complete.

What about blockbuster world championship ii?
Musha is the only case of the Genesis/Mega Drive where the NA release is more valuable than the JP version. Still prefer the JP cover, too.
Greatest console.

Sucks Musha is so expensive because that looks fun.

I wonder if Jordan vs Bird is worth a lot. Michael Jordan was nearly nowhere to be found in video games during that time.
I think it's worth around $20! I remember him being in a side scrolling platform game called Michael Jordan Chaos in the Windy City on the SNES, interesting game!
I got 8/10. I'm missing Zero and MUSHA.
Nice!!!!
1:44 "other than gunstar heros, this is by far the most action packed game on genesis."
Hmmm.... ever heard of Contra hard corps or Alien Soldier?
Valis I,II,III and IV, most of the Renovation games (El Viento included), Golden Axe... Plenty of games with females as main charater.
I’m sure there are a few, I couldn’t think of any off the top of my head when filming. Thanks for checking out the video!
