such a good video from such a good channel. I somehow hope that this guy gets huge for being so different and so positive, but at the same time small so that he doesnt change
Oh thank you my friend! Being how I am is how I got here, I’ll never change! I thank you so much for the kind words and being here, stay amazing my friend!!! ❤️🎮
Awesome to see you cover the Sega CD! Soulstar is one that always looked cool, and I REALLY need to play Terminator for this console! Great video as always man, and looking forward to your next one!
Yeah, I like Soul Star for what it is for sure, and yes you definitely need to play Terminator!!! Man thank you my friend for watching again and the kind words, you’re a legend!!! ❤️🎮
Dude , such an awesome video. I never had a Sega CD nor have I ever experienced playing one, but if I ever had the urge too, this video pushed me even closer to do so. Gotta love Earthworm Jim as an all time classic. I grew up playing it on the Super Nintendo, but furthermore all these era of games had peak soundtracks. Another awesome production from you my friend!
Silpheed, Snatcher, Dark Wizard and Shining force CD are some of my favorites from Sega CD. Demolition Man for it was... Surprisingly fun too. Nice picks man!
Nice video, was great to listen to you talk about things again while I wind down for the night 😊. I never knew about this consoles existence at the time, and apparently it was called the Mega-CD here, released in 1993, when I was barely talking yet haha XD. Still it was interesting to see something from before my time and learn about the games people were playing! Thanks for the video and hope you're doing well, Rob ❤
Hook looks solid. Digging the additions to the EJ game. B&R scenes as a lost episode, that always fascinated me. Love me some Mickey Mania on Genesis, maybe high time to try it on the CD. Samurai Shodown games are so fun; weird on some of the alterations they chose for it. Final Fight, yeeeeaah boy!
Lords of Thunder is the only Sega CD game I have ever played and is badass! Never knew anyone who had one growing up. There was an arcade of Hook which was a 4 player co-op beat ‘em up (MAME it). Always loved Samurai Showdown in the arcades and never knew it released on Genesis until a few years back. Brother had SNES and a friend TG-16 /CD so 16bit era in middle/high school was an exceptional time!
It’s very bad ass indeed! And yes, my daughter and I have and played that Hook Arcade game! It’s quite good, and same with any samurai game honestly! Couldn’t agree with you more about this time period my friend, and thank as always for watching as you know it’s appreciated!!!
One of the only consoles i never played! I had and loved the 32X . I think i had Star wars, mortal kombat 2 , virtua fighter, and jurassic park for the 32X. but nobody i knew ever had the sega CD. Some of the games look really cool for the time, i would've bought the hype 100% and loved all the FMV games as a kid, lol. But luckily I had a PC with a cd ROM so i still got plenty of those.. great video man!
Never had a sega. I was always a Nintendo kid and my friends has segas. Would love to add the sega cd and 32x to my collection. Those will have to be finds in the wild for sure! 👏🏼👏🏼
Yeah it’s funny, I was Sega then switched to Nintendo for awhile lol! But I also had some other random systems in between 😉 Hope you liked this and thank you for watching my friend!!!
Still need to get a Sega CD. I think I want a model one so I can make the towa of powa. I have really limited experience with the Sega CD. I still don't understand Sewer Shark. lol
The first model is pretty amazing looking, definitely add that 32X lol! And yeah, no one understands Sewer Shark 😂 Hey thanks for watching my friend!!!
I'll have to add some Saga CD games to my Batocera build. Have you used it before Rob? OMG it's so damn good for retro nuts like us. Takes a fair bit of tinkering to get it exactly how you like it but I say well worth the effort. Great vid as always anyway man, hope you've been well
I’m a huge Batocera fan and I love using it as a streamlined library! You should be able to add a ton of Sega CD games too!!! I’m doing quite well my friend and hope you are too down under 😉 Thank you as always for watching and being so kind! ❤️🎮🇦🇺
I got a Sega CD in 2014 at the Kane County flea market, I think it was like 60 bucks at the time, came with the box ( the box was in pretty terrible shape though, the pack in game was Tomcat Alley ). I sold mine a number of years ago just because I really wasn’t playing it. I always thought I’d get some kind of flash cart to play them on my Genesis, but I never did. The Batman game looks cool, I love that you talk about the Batman games so much on your channel . Can’t go wrong with final fight. Dog the bounty Hunter in macho man 😆. Yeah sonic CD is cool for what it is , but that’s one of those games I feel like I have so many modern ways to play it. Really great list Rob! Excellent video!
As always, thanks for the video Rob! Aside from occasionally hearing Sonic CD mentioned I almost never come across people talking about this console, so it was interesting to watch. Seeing the traffic in that Batman game makes me want to scream though 😅. Are the loading times much worse than cartridge based systems?
Great vid! just a couple of comments here. the FMV inside most SegaCD games were so grainy, they'd give me a headache (I'm looking at you Sewer Shark), and what was Disney thinking making a Mickey game for kids that's too hard for most adults? I tried so hard to beat Mickey Mania but I don't think I ever got past level 4. It's probably harder than Lion King. lol some classics like Popful Mail and Lunar. Nice little blast from the past. Thanks Rob
Yeah Mickey is tough but like those games of the 90’s we just had to study the patterns 😉 Popful Mail and Lunar are classics for sure, looking forward to the Lunar Remaster release! Glad you liked this my friend and thank you for watching as always!!!
Always wanted a Sega CD growing up but never got one! Looks fun but way to expensive now days. Snatcher would be cool but yeah that ship has sailed! Haha 🦎🦎🦎
As a kid, I definitely did not understand that the Sega CD was an add-on and not a separate system. Not sure it would have made a difference due to the price tag, but I’ve watched a few videos that talk about how it wasn’t exactly marketed clearly. Anyway, one of the things I noticed in this video (and that you mentioned) was extra frames of animation in some games. I also notice smoother, more consistent frame rates overall compared to some I played on Genesis. Earthworm Jim is a great example, where this game controls feel a bit off to me on the Genesis I could never quite grasp why until now. There are a lot of games in today’s showcase that look surprisingly smoother. This Mickey Mouse game made reliving different eras so interesting. Disney partnered with some amazing developers who always seemed to execute the vision. Soul Star looks like one step away from StarFox greatness and I would have loved it. Once again, looks so smooth to control. I lean a little more toward Streets of Rage myself because I think the mechanics are slightly more robust, but Final Fight always looked better to me and had more iconic bad guys with those huge sprites. Could we get a mash-up someday? Batman and Terminator also each look fun, and so artistically distinct. I need to find the Lords of Thunder OST on UA-cam ASAP! Great picks Rob. Thanks for the look into this library!
@@jasonkelly8419 amazing points my friend! Yeah Sega’s demise was always marketing sadly, amongst other things lol! I’m glad you liked this one Jason, thank you as always for watching and the support!!! ❤️🎮
Right?!? So good my friend! My friend Jay from Square Pegs has a good master system vid on his channel if interested 🤷🏼♂️ And thank you for watching my nonsense 😉
Keanu/Rob you cut your hair we all loved the Sega CD we didn’t know how good had it back then I’ve been blessed to see and have all from 1980-Now every console and tons of games what a life of gaming throughout the decades
I did lol, I thought it would scale back the Keanu comments….but nope 🤷🏼♂️😂 And impressive my friend, love to hear that! Get thanks for watching and being here, means alot to me!
It's always been a dream of mine to own a Sega CD model 1. I used to own a model 2, but it was broken and at the time I didn't know anything about console repair so I sold it. Oh well, one of these days I'll get one
I’ve contemplated getting one back, I just love the way the model 2 looked! I’ll always have a love for this setup with the model 2 Genesis! I hope you do get one back my friend, one day! 😉 And thank you for watching and being here!
Oh I know, I love them both and I know the model 2 is more reliable. I would take either at this point. Thanks for the well wishes and I really enjoyed the video and your more casual style. Looking forward to watching more of your vids
@@BlakeBickerstaff I appreciate that so much, I definitely try to keep this a relaxed channel and focus on talking to people in the comments! I hope you like the other vids, I don’t take this too seriously lol!
I think what hurt the Sega cd the most was the price. My dad worked for AT@T and while the AT@T store did not have much in terms of video game they did have SNES, Sega Genesis and Sega CD and they were all half price cause my dad worked for them. My dad got me the second version which I believe was $229 for $115. My library includes NHL 94, NBA Jam, Sonic CD, Final Fight CD, Fatal Fury Special, Snatcher and the pack in game Sewer Shark. The games he got for like $20 a piece.
Yeah the original price was a killer! I was only to get one when they were on sale for $99 and even that felt like a lot lol! Some great titles you listed my friend, and thank you so much for watching and sharing that story! Sounds like a great dad!
@@retrobeliever I thought it was a pretty good deal at $115. It was a pretty good sounding cd player and my first cd player as well as game console and I remember cd players by themselves were going for around $60. I also think I lucked out on the games I chose. I also got Tom cat alley. I forgot about that one. And yeah my dad is awesome.
I'm a huge Sega fan and was so baffled that sega US would go up against Sega Japan and focus on the 32X and SegaCD instead of laying the road for the Saturn which failed because consumers were tired of too many devices in close succession.. Thanks for the video man. Keep up the great work.❤
Yeah the systems I think like everything right now is pretty expensive, but you could go the emulation route also 🤷🏼♂️ I’m hoping Sega will release another mini but with more Sega CD titles on it, the last one had some decent tiles on it!
There's MUCH goodness to be had in the Sega CD library. Sonic CD, Final Fight CD, and Spider-Man Vs the Kingpin, is my personal trilogy of Sega CD Goodness. I prefer the Model 1 Genesis with Sega CD model 2 also.
Oh there definitely is, probably a part 2 in the future I’m sure! I really enjoy the Spider-man game! And that’s great, I honestly just like anything Sega lol! Hey I appreciate you watching my friend, it’s appreciated!!!
Some stunning games you picked out i must say. I was hoping for Star wars Rebel Assault but it's not everyone's cup of tea. I sold my Mega Drive and Mega CD model 1 about 10 years ago which i regret too this day. Batman returns was a favourite of mine but god it was brutal, still i can play Rebel Assault on my 3DO which i enjoy...lol. Nice video.
Thanks my friend! And I do have a love Rebel Assault, I too had it on the 3DO and would also buy the early PlayStation ones also! And yep, it’s getting hard to find the systems and games cheap anymore sadly. Thank you for watching as always my friend, glad you liked this one!
I have seen hook on the shelf since it was new and never saw it in action. Me thinks it may be good for me and the family. I will have a peek-a-boo! Definitely a few in here I like!
I owned everything sega and when they gave up yea i went to xbox. I had the genesis model 1 with the Sega cd model 2 and 32x. Looking forward to replacing my model 2 sega cd since i did sell it on ebay in the early 2000s. Yes i regret that. Sold my dreamcast collection also. I regret selling any of it. I still own my sega genesis 32x and saturn. Just wish i keeped the saturn games i did have. Why is everything sega so expensive.
I started late with sega cd. I never had it as a kid but recently got into it around 2019. I bought a refurbished and region free bios modded sega cd off ebay and started collecting the Japanese side of games as well as the us franchises. Final fight cd was probably the best port of the arcade game but with better music and superior to the snes version. Terminator on the sega cd is awesome with a good soundtrack and gameplay. I never played lord's of thunder on the sega cd but i do own it on the pc engine. Earthworm jim is great on the sega cd but expensive nowadays. I had to get a reproduction of it. Soul star is great but expensive which i also own a reproduction of. I have mickey mania on the sega cd and the European exclusive version on the ps1. Both versions are pretty much the same thing. The music is great and so is the gameplay. Hook is a good game on sega cd. I never played the snes or genesis version of the game but i like the soundtrack and gameplay. The adventures of batman and Robin is a good one too. I never had samurai showdown on the sega cd but own it on 3 other systems. I have the original arcade mvs cartridge, the snes version and the 3do version. Its a shame that they eliminated earthquake fron the sega cd version
Hi Rob! New watcher here. Really enjoyed your commentary, felt very much like sitting down with a friend and chatting about gaming. I also had a model 2 in the 90s which I did buy just for Sonic CD, everything else was a bonus. I have a model 1 now. I don't think the Sega CD's reputation and derision from modern gamers is entirely warranted, it was a cool sprite manipulator for its day and had some extraordinary titles when its capabilities were utilized properly. The FMV games make up about a quarter of the total library so I'd invite anyone to explore the Sega CD catalog further and not write it off like it's the CD-I or its ilk.
Well hello, and welcome! Yeah I keep it pretty relaxed on here lol. And I totally agree with you, it’ll always be in my top 5 of consoles 🤷🏼♂️ Thank you so much for watching and being here, it’s seriously appreciated!!! ❤️🎮
@@retrobeliever Of course, I look forward to binging some more of your vids. I spent so much time recording this week, it'll be nice to catch up on what the rest of the community's been up to. :)
@@jessicasretrolunacy ugh, that’s gonna be brutal watching me say the same intro over and over lol. But thank you, I’ll make sure to sub to you and check out the channel! I appreciate you!
@@retrobeliever It's madness there, let me tell ya. :P But thank you! And I don't mind a little repetition, one of my favorite genres is beat em ups after all. :D
Retro Rob! :D I subbed you when you first started your channel. I lost my account but back with a new one , anyways just wanted to say it’s nice to see your channel growing man that’s so awesome :) Keep at it dude your pretty 👍 have a great day :D
I knew final fight was going to be in there. It's definitely the best home version. Don't feel bad you aren't the only one that wasn't a fan of Sonic. I remember when I got the first one cuz everybody was making a big stink about it. I remember spending $40 on it and saying to myself ,wow what was all the hype for .I really didn't like it. I had the PC engine with the CD so I never got the Sega CD. My friend had it so I was able to play at his house. As much as I love Sega,never owned a Nintendo system, the Sega CD seemed to have more stinkers and mediocre games then good games.Nowhere near as bad as the 32x but they could have done so much more with it. Just one of those systems that most programmers didn't know how to get the most out of its capabilities. 😕
Yeah this version of final fight looks awesome !! Way better than the super Nintendo version (but I still rented that a few times cause it's still great)
I loved Final Fight, when I had the chance to play it. My cousins had it on their SNES. I thought that Genesis/Sega had Streets of Rage. I didn't know it was cross platform. I never knew anyone with a Sega CD. So these were all new to me... Except final fight. 😁
Oh wow! Yeah hopefully I lucked out some good ones here lol, I don’t always have the best taste 🤷🏼♂️ And thanks for watching Jared, always appreciate you my friend!
@@retrobeliever the Hook one looked interesting. I love the movie. Of course I need to find a Final Fight. And hey, if I minded the bizarre selection, I wouldn't watch. 👍
@@wibble87 Hook is a pretty fantastic game, it’s the music/audio that I love the most though! And thank you my friend, I appreciate the kind words as always my friend!
Hook and Mickey Mouse are a couple on there that I haven't played. I agree with you on Sonic. I've never been a big Sonic fan either. You literally had me lol when you said "Hamburger Helper glove" Great video!!
Absolutely. Been looking forward to this one since you mentioned it last week. Curious to see these terrible games in the next one as well. I'd say the worst game I've ever played is Power Serve 3D Tennis for the original Playstation.
😀 A few others, also original Playstation, Criticom and Rise 2 : Resurrection. You see a lot of people out there say E.T. and Pac-Man on the 2600, but at least those two are playable.
We like to hang out in couches to! Hehe I remember seeing the sega CD and thinking sega was going to last becuase they always tried to pioneer but we all know what happened. Btw you sit perfectly on that couch to fit with the background hehe some great games here from action, platformers and shootem ups. Man I dont think I need more consoles to collect for. Thankfully some of this games are available in other consoles. mickey mania is great love it
Well I’m glad you enjoyed this! And yeah, collecting and the backlog is quite hard sometimes lol. Thank you for watching though and the kind words, I greatly appreciate it!
Bank Left, Your Off Course!! 😎 MegaCD has some of the best video game music ever, Final Fight, Batman Returns, Wolf Child, Jaguar XJ 220, Thunder Hawk, Silpheed and many more. Proper game music!!! I'd swap Fifa with Sensible Soccer L⚽L. No EA Hockey 94 on the list? My holy grail is Dungeon Master 2, sure it's slow and could of been better, just I love the original game on Amiga. Great video Rob and it was nice to hear some tunes as well. 👍
Solid list and yes, solid music! Man I love sensible soccer also, those guys also made cannon fodder which is a huge favorite of mine! I love NHL 94! I couldn’t get it to work though 😔 Dungeon Master 2….oooh! I’m an Amiga fan myself, I should make another Amiga vid in the future! Thank you for the kind words, and watching!!! ❤️🎮
@@retrobelieverbtw I almost forgot Prince of Persia! It might be common, not necessarily the best looking version but it plays super slick and that intro, and again ace CD music! Another Win. 😉
Quick, someone call a medic this dude is cut!! 💪😎 I would really like a Model 1 Sega CD, a non-functional unit just so I came have the tower of power. I have a 32x but have not used it yet. I mainly bought it so I could play Virtua Racing Deluxe. isn’t Mickey Mania brutally hard? You saved the best for last. Oh wait, where’s Cadillacs and Dinosaurs: The Second Cataclysm?! 😂🦖
Yep, someone else said that also….people love that tower! Mickey Mania is like any platform game, memory is key 😉 I do like that Cadillacs and Dino game but nothing compares to the arcade 🤷🏼♂️
I played that Terminator one, yeah music is the best part of it, cool games u got, I,only have 5 Sega cd games and they mainly crap lol I wanna,try that Mickey one
Hopefully you can collect more, I mean if you wanted too 🤷🏼♂️ Yeah Mickey is tough, like what most of us grew up with tough lol! I hoped you liked this one and thank you for watching as always my friend, I appreciate you!
Think final fight is also on the sega genesis mini 2. Sonic cd made me disappointed. You free flowers instead of animal! What’s that about? Is Sonic somekind of environmentalist? Then I can be AC no more. That Mickey game looks amazing. Unfortunately. Don’t wanna support the D. But I do like their older stuff. Then again I mostly prefer older stuff anyhow. Maybe with a exception for food. Mostly it taste better when it’s fresh instead of rotten and moldy… mostly
I think it is too, I don’t remember now 🤔 Yeah I totally get the Disney stuff but agreed that the older stuff is bueno but also a solid point with the food but budget wise I gotta rock leftovers sometimes 🤷🏼♂️
such a good video from such a good channel. I somehow hope that this guy gets huge for being so different and so positive, but at the same time small so that he doesnt change

It’s a tad under appreciated I think, but I’m glad you liked this my friend and thank you for watching!!! ❤️🎮

Definitely solid picks my friend, wouldn’t expect anything less! And thank you for watching as always!!!

And impressive my friend, love to hear that! Get thanks for watching and being here, means alot to me!
@@retrobeliever there’s nothing wrong with looking like Keanu he’s a good man and so are you enjoy the day keep your greatness and videos coming
@@mjdf122 oh no, I know lol. And same to you my friend!!!
It's always been a dream of mine to own a Sega CD model 1. I used to own a model 2, but it was broken and at the time I didn't know anything about console repair so I sold it. Oh well, one of these days I'll get one
I’ve contemplated getting one back, I just love the way the model 2 looked! I’ll always have a love for this setup with the model 2 Genesis! I hope you do get one back my friend, one day! 😉
And thank you for watching and being here!
Oh I know, I love them both and I know the model 2 is more reliable. I would take either at this point. Thanks for the well wishes and I really enjoyed the video and your more casual style. Looking forward to watching more of your vids
@@BlakeBickerstaff I appreciate that so much, I definitely try to keep this a relaxed channel and focus on talking to people in the comments! I hope you like the other vids, I don’t take this too seriously lol!
I think what hurt the Sega cd the most was the price. My dad worked for AT@T and while the AT@T store did not have much in terms of video game they did have SNES, Sega Genesis and Sega CD and they were all half price cause my dad worked for them. My dad got me the second version which I believe was $229 for $115. My library includes NHL 94, NBA Jam, Sonic CD, Final Fight CD, Fatal Fury Special, Snatcher and the pack in game Sewer Shark. The games he got for like $20 a piece.
Yeah the original price was a killer! I was only to get one when they were on sale for $99 and even that felt like a lot lol! Some great titles you listed my friend, and thank you so much for watching and sharing that story! Sounds like a great dad!
@@retrobeliever I thought it was a pretty good deal at $115. It was a pretty good sounding cd player and my first cd player as well as game console and I remember cd players by themselves were going for around $60. I also think I lucked out on the games I chose. I also got Tom cat alley. I forgot about that one. And yeah my dad is awesome.
@@jameskrack196 no absolutely! You guys did great, ahhh yes Tomcat alley lol…classic!
I'm a huge Sega fan and was so baffled that sega US would go up against Sega Japan and focus on the 32X and SegaCD instead of laying the road for the Saturn which failed because consumers were tired of too many devices in close succession.. Thanks for the video man. Keep up the great work.❤
Baffled and saddened lol, and thank you my friend!!! ❤️🎮
Great list! I always wanted that Final Fight game because of the CD quality music.
Thanks my friend! And yes indeed, quite good! Thank you for watching too, it’s appreciated!
I never had a Sega CD but man I want one.
Yeah the systems I think like everything right now is pretty expensive, but you could go the emulation route also 🤷🏼♂️
I’m hoping Sega will release another mini but with more Sega CD titles on it, the last one had some decent tiles on it!
Popful Mail on sega CD is still fun to play today
It absolutely is! Get thank you for watching my friend, it’s appreciated!!!
Don´t apologize all the time man. Just post what you want.
It’s my habit, I just try to stay humble and I find myself apologizing 😬
I’ll work on it, thank you my friend!
There's MUCH goodness to be had in the Sega CD library. Sonic CD, Final Fight CD, and Spider-Man Vs the Kingpin, is my personal trilogy of Sega CD Goodness.
I prefer the Model 1 Genesis with Sega CD model 2 also.
Oh there definitely is, probably a part 2 in the future I’m sure! I really enjoy the Spider-man game! And that’s great, I honestly just like anything Sega lol! Hey I appreciate you watching my friend, it’s appreciated!!!
Nice vid Rob! I liked some of your picks!
Oh nice my friend, thank you as always and stay amazing!!!
Some stunning games you picked out i must say. I was hoping for Star wars Rebel Assault but it's not everyone's cup of tea.
I sold my Mega Drive and Mega CD model 1 about 10 years ago which i regret too this day. Batman returns was a favourite of mine but god it was brutal, still i can play Rebel Assault on my 3DO which i enjoy...lol.
Nice video.
Thanks my friend! And I do have a love Rebel Assault, I too had it on the 3DO and would also buy the early PlayStation ones also! And yep, it’s getting hard to find the systems and games cheap anymore sadly. Thank you for watching as always my friend, glad you liked this one!
Great video mate. What fantastic system.
Hey thanks old friend, glad you liked this one!
I have seen hook on the shelf since it was new and never saw it in action. Me thinks it may be good for me and the family. I will have a peek-a-boo! Definitely a few in here I like!
Nice! Thanks Scott!
Thanks for the entertaining video 🤘🎮🍻
@@BIKE_BEERS_AND_DEATH_METAL and thanks for watching my friend! 🤘🏼❤️🎮
I owned everything sega and when they gave up yea i went to xbox. I had the genesis model 1 with the Sega cd model 2 and 32x. Looking forward to replacing my model 2 sega cd since i did sell it on ebay in the early 2000s. Yes i regret that. Sold my dreamcast collection also. I regret selling any of it. I still own my sega genesis 32x and saturn. Just wish i keeped the saturn games i did have. Why is everything sega so expensive.
Dang, same path my friend!!! Hey thank you for watching too!
Thats Cesar From Lost In Retro 😮@@retrobeliever
@@Lostinretro oh man that’s rad!!!
@@retrobeliever Awesome Video, Def Need To Try That Terminator Game, Sadly We Have No Sega CD
I started late with sega cd. I never had it as a kid but recently got into it around 2019. I bought a refurbished and region free bios modded sega cd off ebay and started collecting the Japanese side of games as well as the us franchises. Final fight cd was probably the best port of the arcade game but with better music and superior to the snes version. Terminator on the sega cd is awesome with a good soundtrack and gameplay. I never played lord's of thunder on the sega cd but i do own it on the pc engine. Earthworm jim is great on the sega cd but expensive nowadays. I had to get a reproduction of it. Soul star is great but expensive which i also own a reproduction of. I have mickey mania on the sega cd and the European exclusive version on the ps1. Both versions are pretty much the same thing. The music is great and so is the gameplay. Hook is a good game on sega cd. I never played the snes or genesis version of the game but i like the soundtrack and gameplay. The adventures of batman and Robin is a good one too. I never had samurai showdown on the sega cd but own it on 3 other systems. I have the original arcade mvs cartridge, the snes version and the 3do version. Its a shame that they eliminated earthquake fron the sega cd version
Amazing my friend, always look forward to your comments!!! And I appreciate you watching and the support as always!!!
Hi Rob! New watcher here. Really enjoyed your commentary, felt very much like sitting down with a friend and chatting about gaming.
I also had a model 2 in the 90s which I did buy just for Sonic CD, everything else was a bonus. I have a model 1 now. I don't think the Sega CD's reputation and derision from modern gamers is entirely warranted, it was a cool sprite manipulator for its day and had some extraordinary titles when its capabilities were utilized properly. The FMV games make up about a quarter of the total library so I'd invite anyone to explore the Sega CD catalog further and not write it off like it's the CD-I or its ilk.
Well hello, and welcome! Yeah I keep it pretty relaxed on here lol. And I totally agree with you, it’ll always be in my top 5 of consoles 🤷🏼♂️
Thank you so much for watching and being here, it’s seriously appreciated!!! ❤️🎮
@@retrobeliever Of course, I look forward to binging some more of your vids. I spent so much time recording this week, it'll be nice to catch up on what the rest of the community's been up to. :)
@@jessicasretrolunacy ugh, that’s gonna be brutal watching me say the same intro over and over lol. But thank you, I’ll make sure to sub to you and check out the channel! I appreciate you!
@@retrobeliever It's madness there, let me tell ya. :P But thank you! And I don't mind a little repetition, one of my favorite genres is beat em ups after all. :D
@@jessicasretrolunacy I’m all for madness! 😎
Retro Rob! :D I subbed you when you first started your channel.
I lost my account but back with a new one , anyways just wanted to say it’s nice to see your channel growing man that’s so awesome :)
Keep at it dude your pretty 👍 have a great day :D
Well hello there, I do remember! Welcome back my friend and thank you for the kind words!!!
I knew final fight was going to be in there. It's definitely the best home version. Don't feel bad you aren't the only one that wasn't a fan of Sonic. I remember when I got the first one cuz everybody was making a big stink about it. I remember spending $40 on it and saying to myself ,wow what was all the hype for .I really didn't like it. I had the PC engine with the CD so I never got the Sega CD. My friend had it so I was able to play at his house. As much as I love Sega,never owned a Nintendo system, the Sega CD seemed to have more stinkers and mediocre games then good games.Nowhere near as bad as the 32x but they could have done so much more with it. Just one of those systems that most programmers didn't know how to get the most out of its capabilities. 😕
Yeah, I have to agree with you there my friend! Well I hope you liked the video, thank you for watching as always!!!
@@retrobeliever of coarse. Had some good ones in there. what I loved most about the CD. The amazing music that a lot of them had.
@@JRod-zr8qk agreed! It’s so crisp!!!
Yeah this version of final fight looks awesome !! Way better than the super Nintendo version (but I still rented that a few times cause it's still great)
@@remarkablehairdo3110 it’s fantastic indeed!
I agree with u.i don't have top 10.i just love games.
And that my friend is why you’re amazing!!!
i could say the same thing to u 😅@@retrobeliever
@@shanenice5380 thank you!!! 🙌🏼❤️
I loved Final Fight, when I had the chance to play it. My cousins had it on their SNES. I thought that Genesis/Sega had Streets of Rage. I didn't know it was cross platform. I never knew anyone with a Sega CD. So these were all new to me... Except final fight. 😁
Oh wow! Yeah hopefully I lucked out some good ones here lol, I don’t always have the best taste 🤷🏼♂️
And thanks for watching Jared, always appreciate you my friend!
@@retrobeliever the Hook one looked interesting. I love the movie. Of course I need to find a Final Fight. And hey, if I minded the bizarre selection, I wouldn't watch. 👍
@@wibble87 Hook is a pretty fantastic game, it’s the music/audio that I love the most though! And thank you my friend, I appreciate the kind words as always my friend!
Top channel as you can tell I'm a retro gamer
@@paultheretrogamer oh thank you, it’s more of an “Ok” channel 😉
@@retrobeliever I said top meaning awsome
@@paultheretrogamer no I know my friend, I appreciate it! I’m not good with comments like that so I deflect with humor 🤷🏼♂️
@retrobeliever I totally understand. I'm the same. I just play games BTW as I don't have the knowledge you have I do it for the fun and enjoyment
@@paultheretrogamer oh man my knowledge is what I read off the internet lol, but that’s good my friend! This is just a short term hobby for me 🤷🏼♂️
Hook and Mickey Mouse are a couple on there that I haven't played. I agree with you on Sonic. I've never been a big Sonic fan either. You literally had me lol when you said "Hamburger Helper glove" Great video!!
My fellow Rob!!! I’m always trying to get some humor in there, glad you liked this my friend! Thank you for watching and the support!!!
Absolutely. Been looking forward to this one since you mentioned it last week. Curious to see these terrible games in the next one as well. I'd say the worst game I've ever played is Power Serve 3D Tennis for the original Playstation.
@@bigsilentrob ooh man, might have to add it and shout you out!!!
😀 A few others, also original Playstation, Criticom and Rise 2 : Resurrection. You see a lot of people out there say E.T. and Pac-Man on the 2600, but at least those two are playable.
@@bigsilentrob oh isn’t rise that terrible robot game?!? Man you’re giving me gold lol!
Dope Whalers hat!
Thank you my friend! I miss the Whale 😔
We like to hang out in couches to! Hehe I remember seeing the sega CD and thinking sega was going to last becuase they always tried to pioneer but we all know what happened. Btw you sit perfectly on that couch to fit with the background hehe some great games here from action, platformers and shootem ups. Man I dont think I need more consoles to collect for. Thankfully some of this games are available in other consoles. mickey mania is great love it
Well I’m glad you enjoyed this! And yeah, collecting and the backlog is quite hard sometimes lol. Thank you for watching though and the kind words, I greatly appreciate it!
@@retrobeliever of course! Glad to be here supporting
Nice picks try Aleste classic shooter - pretty good choices!
Robo Aleste? And thank you my friend!!!
@@retrobeliever fo sho - keep those vids coming noice
@@emsemtsemsemts4707 will do my friend!!! 🫡❤️🎮
great vid of a great system
Oh thank you, I definitely had hoped so! And thank you for watching my friend, it’s always appreciated!!!
Bank Left, Your Off Course!! 😎
MegaCD has some of the best video game music ever, Final Fight, Batman Returns, Wolf Child, Jaguar XJ 220, Thunder Hawk, Silpheed and many more. Proper game music!!!
I'd swap Fifa with Sensible Soccer L⚽L. No EA Hockey 94 on the list?
My holy grail is Dungeon Master 2, sure it's slow and could of been better, just I love the original game on Amiga.
Great video Rob and it was nice to hear some tunes as well. 👍
Solid list and yes, solid music! Man I love sensible soccer also, those guys also made cannon fodder which is a huge favorite of mine! I love NHL 94! I couldn’t get it to work though 😔
Dungeon Master 2….oooh! I’m an Amiga fan myself, I should make another Amiga vid in the future! Thank you for the kind words, and watching!!! ❤️🎮
@@retrobelieverbtw I almost forgot Prince of Persia! It might be common, not necessarily the best looking version but it plays super slick and that intro, and again ace CD music! Another Win. 😉
@@MIKandJEAN it is a good one for sure, I do have that one also!
Was hoping I’d see the terminator 👍
Oh yes my friend!!! And thank you for watching!!!
@@retrobeliever I don’t own the sega cd but always wanted to. If I did have one I’d want that game! 😎
@@sandman8920 can’t argue there my friend! Maybe one day you’ll get it, or you could emulate 🤷🏼♂️
But whichever, a solid game indeed!
Quick, someone call a medic this dude is cut!! 💪😎
I would really like a Model 1 Sega CD, a non-functional unit just so I came have the tower of power. I have a 32x but have not used it yet. I mainly bought it so I could play Virtua Racing Deluxe.
isn’t Mickey Mania brutally hard?
You saved the best for last. Oh wait, where’s Cadillacs and Dinosaurs: The Second Cataclysm?! 😂🦖
Yep, someone else said that also….people love that tower! Mickey Mania is like any platform game, memory is key 😉
I do like that Cadillacs and Dino game but nothing compares to the arcade 🤷🏼♂️
I’ve never played a Sega CD 🤔
Oh wow! You could just emulate the library at this point lol 😉
I played that Terminator one, yeah music is the best part of it, cool games u got, I,only have 5 Sega cd games and they mainly crap lol I wanna,try that Mickey one
Hopefully you can collect more, I mean if you wanted too 🤷🏼♂️
Yeah Mickey is tough, like what most of us grew up with tough lol! I hoped you liked this one and thank you for watching as always my friend, I appreciate you!
@@retrobeliever yeah, 😆
Hook and Batman 2.
Man I almost put The other Batman in but thought it might be too much 😬
@@retrobeliever Batman 2 was so hard bro. I also had Bram Stokers Dracula mostly because I loved the movie.
@@Gunny672 oh man me too! I sadly still like that game and play it now and then for sentimental reasons but my lord is it awful lol
Think final fight is also on the sega genesis mini 2.
Sonic cd made me disappointed. You free flowers instead of animal! What’s that about? Is Sonic somekind of environmentalist? Then I can be AC no more.
That Mickey game looks amazing. Unfortunately. Don’t wanna support the D. But I do like their older stuff. Then again I mostly prefer older stuff anyhow. Maybe with a exception for food. Mostly it taste better when it’s fresh instead of rotten and moldy… mostly
I think it is too, I don’t remember now 🤔
Yeah I totally get the Disney stuff but agreed that the older stuff is bueno but also a solid point with the food but budget wise I gotta rock leftovers sometimes 🤷🏼♂️
@@retrobeliever Well if it’s leftover pizza then who can complain?
@@harrihaffi2713 absolutely fair point!
First !
I’m gonna leave a more detailed comment later
NICE! Thank you!!!
@@PKInTheUniverse no worries my friend! And thank you as always!
