I can confirm that X-Men game was hard as balls. My sister and I spent waaaaay too much time trying to beat it. We never got close.
Same with my bro and I
I didn't even know about the Reset trick because I never got far enough to see it.
Same same, I thought this game was a piece of shit when I was a kid...but I kept trying!!
I actually beat the game a couple of times as a kid. Found the reset trick by accident after raging. I thought the game was glitched.
With that said, I could NEVER beat the game again. I played it a few times recently and it’s ridiculously hard!
@@WolfA4 I got there one time as a kid and was so frustrated I never played it again.
Hard to say if I feel more sorry for kids that got "Color a dinosaur" or the kids that threw away "Color a dinosaur" not knowing how much it would be worth.
I've definitely been there. Not with Color a Dinosaur specifically, but I have been in situations in which I sold a game to Gamestop for a pittance, then years later regretted that decision upon learning how much the game's value eventually skyrocketed.
@@gurvmlk i gave them my copy of klonoa on wii, needless to say I regret that
@@tivvy2vs21 I also sold that exact same game. I bought it, beat it, then just didn't really care to hold onto it because I felt it was just worse than the original.
@@gurvmlk I wish phantasy reverie series had the reverse mode, I don't like remakes not having the content from other remakes
@@tivvy2vs21 I haven't played that one. Part of me wanted to for no other reason than to show support for the series, but then another part of me had to ask myself, "Am I really in the best financial position to be buying a game I don't need for that reason?"
I started laughing out loud at Dylan's comments about Mai at the end there. Thanks to all involved in the making of this show. It's always a pleasure to watch.
Jared cutting off Dylan made my morning 😂
“Hasn’t had a Boy sleep in her Room since Elementary School.”
Her HUMONGOUS eyes. They look so pretty
We need a short of that part 😆
You can't motorboat a personality.
The computer reset was the talk of the playground for MONTHS back in the day!
Nobody I knew ever got that far lol We just were hyped to play X men game.
I love how in every episode, Jared looks like a piece of 90s physical media became human! I never thought I'd be a fan of analog recording gijinkas, but here we are.
I'm pretty sure he was the alien dude smoking cigs in the mail machine in Men in Black 2.
@@ZenShroud1 lmao😂😂 dude
Spot on assessment
Wow, composing for both Terminator AND Color a Dinosaur!? I hope his mother is really proud.
sometimes, tommy has to go to the bathroom also
It's joey....it's always joey
@@michaelteegarden1434I understood that reference
It wasn't even Cribs!
I'm sure she is, he was also the first american to work on Sonic, and worked on Metroid Prime hand in hand with Shigeru Miyamoto
Dylan's delivery on the Mai Shiranui bit was nothing but perfection.
Alright, Jared, I dug my copy of X-Men out from storage purgatory, and the poster measures about 17" x 20.5" folded into quarters in both directions. It's the art from the cover surrounded by a black border, the Genesis logo is slightly proportionally larger as it appears on the box, the 3D text X-MEN™ logo that's red with purple sides on the bottom, a Marvel Comics logo in the upper left corner, and it actually says "SPECIAL EDITION POSTER" in a green splody bubble in the lower right corner.
EDIT: Oh, and on the back, there's maps of levels 3-6 with numbers corresponding to some text boxes that seem like they're supposed to be tips, but they seem more like basic observations like any captioned image from a magazine at that time, such as, "Be careful of these columns of flame - they take substantial health points and knock you back as well."
I would like to thank Dylan for unlocking a vague memory of that Mai meme, the deja vu was STRONG in this one.
For all its flaws I LOVE the Genesis X-Men. I think it's jank actually adds to its flavour. Doing things like sequence breaking with Nightcrawler's teleport felt very in character.
right? it did not stick rigidly to usual game tropes. wolverine's claws still worked with the power meter depleted because they (at the time) weren't a mutant power, that's really just his sanity meter and he goes apeshit feral once it runs out... and nightcrawler being included at all, but especially being able to cheese through walls. awesome.
what i'll remember most though is how holding down cyclops's beam charge and aiming in the 8 directions allowed you to make him boogie
Agreed
Still one of the best X-Men games ever made. Getting to play as the og 90s team was fantastic. I miss gambit and nightcrawler
1. You can tell how Jared's face lights up when the words "obscure", "SNES" and "RPG" come together.
2. The Fatal Fury 2 OVA is top tier video game adaptation, watch it if you can, it is on youtube!
3. Editor Dylan, that jab at the amico was my favorite part of this video, please never change.
As a huge RPG fan, I'm definitely curious to see if it's one I've never heard of.
Fatal Fury The Motion Picture is, hands down, one of the best anime flicks in existence. I wore my VHS tape out, watching it. Mix fighting game characters into an Indiana Jones adventure with the spectacle of a DBZ battle- SO FREAKING GOOD!
Lolol I call that art style jigglyjapanimation
@@chadthackston1992 yeah I wonder why that tape wore out.
I had discovered the X-Men reset trick by accident. I had gotten to that point, wasn't sure what to do, and thought I might have missed something earlier on. I hit restart to start over again and voila, I passed the level...lol
Nightcrawler was most definitely OP in that game as he could literally teleport through through most of three of the levels (Shi'ar Empire, Light House, Astroid M). I also remember Wolverine being able to 'heal' a second player on top of just himself if they stood next to each other. Also, on the hardest level, falling off a cliff meant instant death for your character; even with Jean trying to save you.
I honestly never found the game that hard, but I did play it a ton due to owning it.
Mai Shiranui was what made me appreciate pixel art on a whole new level.
Great episode as usual!
It's crazy that you talked about Equinox without mentioning the soundtrack! Easily one of the best SNES OST's. It was adventurous and experimental while also fitting the game perfectly. If you're reading this and haven't heard it before, give it a listen asap
it's good but lackluster compared to Solstice's insane prog rock intro
Omg I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THIS GAME!!! I had this on a loaded emulator that my cousin put together for me as a kid. Thought it seemed obscure at the time but I loved it.
@@ChibiKami Holy shit I love prog rock but I've never heard this before thank you.
I was sitting waiting for him to mention the Follins, to no avail.
It is a good one! But the real issue is that the SNES is packed to the gills in amazing soundtracks. So it made it harder to stand out. Another victim of this was Top Gear, that little unassuming arcadey racing game which featured an amazing soundtrack. Seriously though, I can't think of a single other platform that had THAT many absolutely killer soundtracks on it.
I remember being amazed that the reset button would do that in the MOJO level. That genesis xmen game was a steady rental for me. Then once I found out about the stage select code...it was over lol
The fact that 'color a dinosaur' is the biggest gainer this episode... really says something 😬
Its gonna be those crappy games that everyone threw out that will end up being the rare ones
That they didn't print many copies or colour a dinosaur because it was only officially sold on the west coast and not in large numbers?
@@medes5597 well... that too lol.
"Oh, you know what, it's probably just her humongous..."
ponytail!
I had that X-men game on Sega in the 90s and I was probably about 7 or 8 at the time. Me and my brother not only ended up playing it so much we figured out the reset button thing. We also managed to get past that horrifying last stage and beat the game.
Much of the games difficulty actually relies on character swapping, and using some characters over others for certain stages.
I WAS SO SCREWED BY THE RESET X-MEN THING AS A KID. Huge X-Men fan even before the cartoon I had tons of comics and I played this game so much I could do No Hit run but it ended at Mojo because nobody I knew was aware of the reset thing to tell me and there was no internet
Same here. The game wasn't big enough here to have the solution make it to magazines. And then when I found out I tried to get back and finish it, and... eh... I'm too old and it's a lot harder than I remembered. It used to be trivial to get there, now I was definitely in "I don't have time for this" territory. I should give it another go some time.
When I read your first sentence, I thought your story was going to end with you having a Nomad instead of an actual Genesis, which didn't have a reset button.
@@gurvmlk Nomads came out really late in the 16-bet Sega cycle and nobody I knew owned one. We were all waiting for -ultra 64- Nintendo 64
and Saturn, then I figured out all the games for N64 were terrible and Saturn too expensive for the quality of games too so I was content to stick with PC but then Playstation darkhorse'd out of the clouds and I got that.
@@scotshabalam2432 Interesting. First of those consoles we had was the N64 (eventually got both a PlayStation and Saturn, but those came near or after the end of their lifespan), and I can attest to it not having the best games. I think the N64 is the only console I ever had growing up in which I played more games on it I didn't really like that much, than those I did. Still, I managed to find the occasional gem, so overall had a lot of fun with it.
As for the Nomad, that makes sense. I'd never even heard of it until years later, and owned one for a short while. I eventually unloaded it though, because I found that I didn't really have enough use for a portable Genesis, when I already had my GBA or DS for handheld purposes.
TBH I had that X-men game on Sega in the 90s and I was probably about 7 or 8 at the time. Me and my brother not only ended up playing it so much we figured out the reset button thing. We also managed to get past that horrifying last stage and beat the game.
Much of the games difficulty actually relies on character swapping, and using some characters over others for certain stages.
Also pro tip was abusing Wolverines healing ability.
Look. I'm here for Jared and the weekly nostalgia trip. Being the exact same age makes this content feel like it's made just for me.
But I gotta say, every week, I start coming here more and more for Dylan. The Fatal Fury 2 gag got me good.
that xmen game was my childhood
Dylan killing it this week 😂. @9:46 best part of this
I see a jab at Tommy Tallarico and the Amico, I slap that like button
Tommy Tallarico is quite the liar, Hbomberguy has a nice breakdown that all begins with the Roblox oof.
I love the insert of Joey Kuras' comment during the Terminator "soundtest" lol.
And okay, the part about Mai cracked me up. But to be fair, I really played her because of the fans, when I discovered the King of Fighters (Though she wasn't my favorite character)
dylan has huge respect for liking the fatal fury ova's(love mai shiranui for her playfully bouncy personality as well as the things he listed/love jared cutting him off especially with how they really went out with her in the motion picture which fun fact came out on my brother's birthday.) & love how jared becomes even more 90's with each shirt that i almost expect his hair to be next.
This is the only video series that I consistently thumbs up. I just love it. Editor Dylan and Jared, keep up the amazing work!
This game was truly hard for being a little kid. it’s a hidden gem that still holds up.
X Men and X Men 2 were life changing back in the day! That was all we had, and it felt that the more you played it, the better it got!
Also, savage land music is still one of the coolest percussion only songs I've ever heard
I love how this show represents a nice portion of fresh air on UA-cam! And it feels 90s as f**k, so it's not just the title!
Plus, as an italian guy, I love to see screenshots and infos from the biggest US gaming magazines of that era!🤩
Funny enough, that X-Men game was my first experience of a 4th Wall Break in video games. For most it was Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid, but for me, it was that one spot everybody got stuck on in X-Men. I used to play the game a lot with my sister, always up to that point where the game just 'stopped' due to the in-game virus. One day I just wanted to keep playing after I got to that point, tapped the reset button, and bam. The game continued and this furball's mind was suddenly blown.
Yep. I also figured it out but I think it took me like three tries. The first time I think I turned the game off thinkong it was broken, the second time I think I just left it there seeing if anything would happen and then turned it off, the third I was starting to get angry a nd think my game was broken. I don't know why I pushed reset but it blew my mind.
@@Gatorade69 Hah. It makes me wonder if the devs were just hoping for the 'accidental discoveries'.
The first Sega genesis X-Men was amazing for it's time althought the sequel was a massive improvement and had Magneto as a playable caracther. Back then, the only console X-Men games (that I know of) were the LJN NES games.
I like the little jab at the amico after talking about Tommy
I owned the X-men game as a kid, but never got far enough into Mojoworld to do the reset thing.
Years later, I played it at a family member's house, got to the end of Mojoword, tried to reset the console...and found out the button was broken.
I was today years old when I realized I could switch characters in X-Men for the Genesis outside of the danger room.
I may have liked it just a bit better...
This channel is ridiculously amazing. Love it
Been meaning to find a good way of finding more obscure and less discussed old school vidya, so this was a perfect channel to find on my recommended. Subbed.
Shout-out to Outrun 2019 for the Sega Genesis, I loved that game to death as a kid! Great soundtrack, good gameplay, still play it occasionally to this day.
Loved this game too as a kid,bought it along with thunderforce 4 on a rare trip to the city back in 94. Good times!
Dang it 0:30! If I've said it once, I've said it 1000 times, Wolverine Slashing an X through any material would not result in the four little central diamond shapes just floating there... they would fall out!
The Terminator soundtrack for Sega CD is incredible
Another fun episode with a good coverage of the individual games. I'm now really interested in checking out Equinox especially.
I feel a bit of pride figuring out the "trick" to beating the Genesis X-Men game. I came from a place where there were no one else that played the game and we didn't even have a mall or a game shop. Just happenstance that after running into the same glitch after the upteenth time playing the game, just went "f- it, lemme try pressing the actual button" and whaddayaknow, it worked.
One weekend in 1993 I took my new copy of X-Men over to my buddy Mark's house for a sleepover. We played it all night and most of the next day, never getting past the "reset the computer" screen.
Finally one time after getting stuck on that screen I got up and out out of frustration, pressed reset on the Genesis to start the game over and low and behold ... the game advanced to the final level. We were shocked that not only we had figured it out, but that the developers were able to pull such a sneaky trick!
But we did it, we beat the game without outside help.
After having read your message I'm going to assume a few things:
1) You chose nightcrawler since he is the best choice for level progression.
2) One or both of you guys had braces.
3) Your buddy Mark had a Lamborghini Countach poster on his wall.
4) Mark also had a mullet haircut.
Please let me know how many of these were correct.
@@scorpionwins6378
I only use Nightcrawler on the third level because you can skip a lot of it by teleporting through walls.
Everything else was very wrong.
I remember playing X-Men with my brother. We'd get so frustrated with the jungle level's waterfall until I realized the commercial showed a shortcut. Just ride the pterosaur.
I had X-Men on a pirate 4-in-1 cart back in the day; they coded it so that you had to press reset on the console to switch to the next game so instead of experiencing that neat trick I just got the intro screen to Chase HQ 2 instead.
I liked to think that the X-Men suffered budget cuts and had to pursue Magneto in a police cruiser as the Blackbird was too costly to fuel...
As a life long X-MEN fan kid of the 90's, playing the arcade, watching the cartoon and collecting the cards, playing the characters out in the yard. This was amazing. I don't remember the exact moment my brother and I figured this out.
I love this series! It gives me the same kind of feeling like getting home to watch toonami after school. Always marks my Friday and starts my weekend off right!
Nervously looking around to see if Tommy shows up trying to sell us the Amico...
I remember renting the X-Men game for Sega Genesis and I didn't understand why I couldn't make any progress. Then I realised you can change characters at will to avoid certain hazards with a proper character or even summon other mutants to defeat bosses or cleaning up the stage. I was very young and needless to say never ever got farther beyond the two first levers, so I never encountered the glitch that needed you to reset the game (although it was described in the videogame magazines of that time).
If I remember correctly also the stage select cheat code was kind of convoluted and weird to make it work.
I've only knew the characters from the Konami Arcade machine as the 90s Animated Series was not aired at that time in my country, nor the comic books were licensed here either. But Nightcrawler is my favorite mutant, from knowing him in those games and from watching him in a couple of episodes of the Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends cartoon series. Funny enough, his name was translated as ORUGA ("Caterpillar" in spanish, maybe to refer as the "crawler" part of the name) and later as NOCTÁMBULO ("Noctambulant" or "Night Owl" in spanish), and NOCTURNO ("Nocturne" in spanish) in the following 90s cartoons, probably to avoid the "bug" meaning that doesn't make sense in spanish, not for his appearance nor his mutant powers (except the way he can climb on walls). Being able to play as Nightcrawler always was a plus in my books, even if this game was not as great as the Arcade Game; nor the Genesis sequel, X-Men 2 Clone Wars.
Awesome videos as always.
Perfect banter about Fatal Fury 2 and Color a Dinosaur from Dylan… and oh boy, next week I know I’m gonna fan boy. Thank the Nintendo Switch Online NES library for letting me find one of my personal favorites on the system and NOT having to pay for a big value gainer like that!
the amico bit got me good. great work you guys. this is a nice format and videos go by fast
This was my 11th birthday along with 8 other games and the Sega Genesis console back in 93. I was a happy kid back then lol.
This show is much of what I love. 93 is a little too early for me... 95 with Comix Zone is when I really started to love video games.
Weird that Tallarico was mentioned but not Tim and Geoff Follin for Equinox. The Follin Brothers were freaking wizards when it came to making 8 and 16 bit soundchips sing. The solstice and plok soundtracks remain some of my all time favourite OSTs.
The Follin brothers also haven't torpedoed their reputation either.
yeah he's most well known for something completely different now lol. he's probably on a p.r. campaign trying to fix his own mess.
Thanks for making these!
this is a brilliant idea for a show, I will watch this weekly until I die, and you will never run out of content.
Excellent Dylan.
I was all about Fatal Fury in the 90's. Loved the games and the anime movies.
Ok, the Mai bit, while maybe not the most original, was definitely chuckle worthy. lol
X-Men was the only reason this longtime, dedicated Nintendo fan finally bought a Sega Genesis. I was a huge fan of the comics and cartoon so after I got my first paycheck at a new job, I bought myself a Sega Genesis with Sonic 2 set. I later picked up the first Sonic the Hedgehog used and a friend gave me their copy of Michael Jackson's Moonwalker and that was all I ever got for my Genesis. I played X-Men a lot but it was very hard and I never finished it. I still played way more Supernintendo and Gameboy.
Pretty sure that pack in poster was just a mini poster of the box cover art.
Two videos in and I've been hit with so much nostalgia I have to subscribe.
I didn't think X-Men was THAT hard. Of course, me and my friends were addicted to X-Men at the time, so we played it a lot.
No it wasn't. I managed to beat it without a guide as a kid. I didn't know everyone considers it a hard game.
What lead you to press the reset button?
@@BMoore335 I know everyone is different but the rare times a game froze up or started glitching out you'd either press power or reset. I think the first time I turned off the console, the second time I pushed reset on a whim.
Color a Dinosaur was so bad, it killed off the entire dinosaur genre. Maybe even the dinos themselves.
I remember the *Equinox* ad... one of those that was seared in my head while I contemplated my future as a young gamer.....
- Played first game of Equinox
- After years of practice, still trying to conquer the third dungeon.
- Had to skip graduation ceremony, but finally conquered the third dungeon.
- Still living at home, no job, no friends, never kissed a girl, but finally defeated the green blobs in the fifth dungeon.
- Having trouble seeing the screen, and need to take naps between dungeons, but you can now get to the sixth dungeon with ease.
- Can't see the screen, can't hear the sound effects, can't work the joystick and having chest pains at the thought of the evil empress. Feeling the end is near, you vow to someday complete your quest as you bequeath your joystick to your grandson.
- Had to miss your grandfather's funeral, but you finally conquered the evil empress. He would have wanted it that way.
5:43 "All new gwaphics"
Since you mentioned Tommy Tallarico, he now officially hosted, edited, and provided the music for this episode. Which he did himself.
His mother is very proud!
I'm pretty sure Tommy Tallarico has the Guiness Book of Records award for most UA-cam videos hosted, edited and music provided for.
God I can't stand Tommy Tallarico. I'm so glad he's finally getting recognized for "his" work.
This was my favorite childhood game, by far. I discovered the reset trick differently than most. Instead of getting frustrated and hitting the button, I encountered a panic-filled brain fart when I reached the end of Mojoworld for the first time. I let the timer count down until it said “Reset the computer now!” And in a flash of inspiration, I hit the reset button, and proceeded to Asteroid M.
This is rapidly becoming one of my favourite YT channels.
1:04
Cyclops: Intelligence: Normal
Wolverine: Intelligence: Above Normal
Gambit: Intelligence: Normal
Nightcrawler: Intelligence: Normal
I remember the name Tommy Tallarico not so much as a composer (although don't get me wrong, he's one of the better composers out there), but from the G4 show Judgment Day, which this show kind of reminds me of in a way. Circle of life in a way
you should watch hbomberguy's video on the roblox "oof" sound. it goes into tommy tallarico a lot. he's an interesting character.
I also recommend Hbomberguy's video. Tommy Tallarico is a ChArAcTeR and that video takes you on a whole ride
When i was a kid, maybe like 7? The only game i had for a long time was xmen, i played it wayyyy too much and remembered the graphics were mind blowing for the time. Love the channel, brings back a lot of memories.
Yeah, when it came to fighting games, there were so many...but there are two massive reasons why Fatal Fury 2 got me interested instantly. Two other reasons: Big Bear was fun to play as and the boss music using Mozart's Requiem helped too.
Ah man, I love seeing additional jokes at the Amico's expense all over the internet.
You guys are killing it
7:38 How nice to see the military man on the box art made the effort to comb his hair and flash a nice smile. These days they're all so dour and shabby-looking. First impressions matter, people!
I could be wrong on some details, but regarding the fmv situation on the Sega CD, I want to say it was a combination of a couple of critical factors. (1) the single speed CD-ROM of the add-on and (2) the severe bottleneck of the system expansion interface that the Genesis had for connecting to the Sega CD.
Video CDs were already bandwidth hungry, so the slow read speed of the optical drive plus the limited bandwidth to the overseer genesis that would eventually process the resulting video forced the decision to be either full motion, or full screen. Not both.
Early ps1 games still _letterboxed_ things, but the double speed of the drive it comes with and just less constraints meant it didn't take long for games on the ps1 to have enough video to fit a TV episode or two of a show, provided there was enough disk space for the endeavor.
When Jared cut off Dylan talking about Mai 😂😂😂
Now In The 90s Is Back It’s Great To Relive This Thank You
Taking some digs at Tommy Tallarico. Nice!
Nothing beats watching Now In The 90’s on saturday morning with a bowl of cereals in my lap.
If it's a category or genre at that, Dylan has got to be my favorite "Gamer comedian" dude cracks me up 😂
Mai Shiranui - the one reason why more boxes of Kleenex were KO'd in 1993 than any other.
I actually grew up with that X-Men game and I never played it because it was a chore just getting to stage 2. Even then, I only got to stage 3 like, twice in my entire childhood. If I'd actually made it to the point where you needed to reset the console, I might have actually smashed my copy in rage. at not knowing why the game wasn't working anymore. I think the Shi'ar empire theme was pretty banging though.
THANK YOU DYLAN
Man, that reset thing on X-Men was so scary for me back then. My Genesis had a very loose and finicky cart slot, every single damn movement made on the console could spit out the cart. I remember just slumping over when I pressed the reset button seeing the matrix screen load up then my cart popped out.
The last time I saw anything with Color A Dinosaur, it was on a ProtonJon stream, during the Runaway Guys Colosseum chaos fortune cookie stream. Maybe that's why the price jacked up so much?
Just discovered the show, insta-subbed! Great job, looking forward for more videos.
Another video, another swag shirt or style Jared dons. He's like the JoJos of video game channels. Constant rizzing. Dylan is an essential character or sometimes spotlight thief. His humor is sharp. Love the back and forth between you two.
That's interesting that Equinox has flown under the radar for so long. I wonder if this will make it spike lol. Such a great channel! I really hope you can continue to grow!
XMen showed up on the list of games that weren't compatible with the Sega Nomad only because of the reset button trick - the Nomad didn't have a reset button on it, so you couldn't progress past that part.
just found out about this show, very cool and informative. good job fellas
Again great episode. Epic Dylan section. 😂 I never knew that Equinox was the sequel to Solstice. I had Solstice on the NES, never finished but kind of liked it.
Just discovered this channel, great stuff
THANK YOU DYLAN FOR PUTTING RESPECT TO JOEY KURAS NAME!
.
But regardless, amazing episode!
.
.
People who are discovering this channel without knowing about Jared's main channel are gonna have a helluva lot of binge worthy content ahead of them
Ohh man! Tommy Tallarico! In the mid to late 90s, he was also a co-host of a Canadian-based video games TV show called Electronic Playground. I was obsessed with it. Tommy left the show a long time ago but it's STILL going on (though now it's on UA-cam) with the original host, Victor Lucas.
He is a talented musician, despite the Amico fiasco
This series fills me with joy.
editor Dylan, you know where to go.
I'm with ya on the "X-Men made me jealous" train. Luckily my next door neighbors had a Genesis, so I did play it a lot there.
