This is what matters in gaming, this is what is best in this community and why I love your shit so much Johnny; I don't give a shit about how many games you have or how cheap you got your last whole sale lot, I care about your history, your experiences, your anecdotes, you actually playing your games and bonding with them and over them. Love these collection videos, man!
LandStalker is my all time favorite game. I had so many great memories playing it as a child with my father that I made it a yearly ritual to play it through once every year. It's not as hard as you say it is. Though the jumping & moving platforms however can get quite difficult. Really looking forward to your review.
That ending always left me wanting more. You get the gist of it but it wasn't enough. All though back then many games didn't have a big ending and just ended quick just like that. They did make Lady Stalker which was never released outside of Japan cause I believed it wasn't as good but still decent. And their was Time Stalkers on the Sega Dreamcast which I recommend staying away from cause it's horrible.
I've heard that Alundra for the PS1 is a spiritual sequel to LandStalker and that a lot of the same people worked on it, but I haven't played it yet myself.
The 2 Sega games that really take me back are the first Streets of Rage and Toe Jam & Earl. Watching your vids really reminding me of the good ol days of the Genesis 😊
I loved Beyond Oasis. Of all the Genesis games with "next gen" graphics this one always did it for me. It looked so bright and colorful back when so many games had a grainy texture to everything. And then the Saturn sequel was good all over again.
Oh Beyond Oasis! One of my favourite Genesis games:) To me it's like Streets of Rage RPG cause the main character kinda look like Axel with different outfit and you realy beat up your enemies and of course soundtrack from Yuzo Koshiro:)
Awesome collection Johnny! It's really good to see you collect games that hold some type of memory or are nostalgic. With respect to Sonic, I believe the reason why the character really resonated with you was because a marketing tool used to draw in the younger audience. As I noted before, we are the same age and the reason why we were early adopters of the SEGA Genesis was because it was marketed as the console to bring the arcade experience home. It was the reason why I begged my parents to get me the console in '89. In 1990/91, as soon as I saw the commercials featuring Sonic the Hedgehog I knew right away that SEGA was targeting the console to the younger crowd.
I remember the ad campaigns for Gaiares were all about how to pronounce the name, LMFAO (it's "Guy-Are-Us" according to the North American ads but in Japanese it's "Gaya-ress")
The dungeons in Phantasy Star II make the hintbook practically mandatory, imho. Even with the guide you can spend hours in them figuring out where the hell you're supposed to go.
Just a thought. At a glance, Magical Hats looks and plays like an older Master System game called Phycho Fox. Everything from the statues in the background, to the eggs, the punching animation, and the way the bridges fell.
Landstalker is one of the best games of the 16 bit era. It's "Zelda" aesthetic for some odd reason makes some gaming historians not give it the props it deserved (also being "Zelda" on Genesis on top of that). It's fantastic once you get the controls down.
Johnny I lost my copy of the metal gear collection in vita. I was so mad. Few years later, I found the cart alone behind my sofa. Very strange considering im super careful with all my games lol.
Hi Johnny long time viewer first time leaving a response I was born in 1977 and share a lot of the same memories with you I remember trying to get the living room as dark and cool as I could get and play games on my nes during the really humid Ontario summers ,,,or bringing the instruction book with me to school to read, cuz I didn't have a gameboy,,I could go on for hours with my gaming memories from the mid 80's to present day it's been the one constant thing in my life thanks for everything you do ps rob is cool in my books as well
This entire video right here is the pinnacle of what a true gamer is. If any of you were not paying attention to everything he said, not wanting to give some of these games a try, and not understanding his passion for gaming, then please put the damn controller down, and get the hell out of gaming altogether. With that said, I look forward to the Valis video.
Pretty much all Sega consoles are very nostalgic for me but Genesis especially because that was like the beginning of gaming for me in a sense that and the NES because my brother had both but once the Genesis came around that's when I actually started to appreciate gaming.
Landstalker... discovered its existance only recently and played it from beginning to end without looking once at a walkthrough! Hair pulling difficult for sure but man is it great! If you love Alundra you gotta play this kinda prequel
Hey I'm been a fan of yours for years!!!! I truly hope you don't stop this show, you can do what you want but honestly your show has been my favorite ever.... your super awesome peace and love bro pause
I don't remember Phantasy Star 2 being at all confusing in terms of quests or anything, but the dungeons got really ridiculous. That was the main value of the hint book. Towards the end of the game I started writing on the maps in the hint book to show which teleporters were connected, so I could figure out where to go. I guess the game just expected you to draw maps, and there's nothing wrong with that, but it was too mazy for my taste at the time. The game's lowest point is in the early game when you go on a slog through 4 dams. Up until that time I had never been so "tested" to stay interested in a new RPG before. I had to get further in the game before it got more mentally engaging to me. In the late game, I think I had to gain about 10 levels before I could win the fight against "Dark Force" or whatever it's called. That's a fond memory though, not a complaint. I enjoyed the difficulty of that fight and the anticipation of eventually getting past it. Good late-game boss battles in RPGs should always be hard, otherwise it's a letdown. It's a cool game but it's also a test of your endurance. I'm glad I beat it as a kid because I don't think I'd be able to get through it again today. I beat Phantasy Star 3 once. I wanted to go back and try different paths (there's 4 different ways of going through the game), but I was starting to find it difficult to invest that much time into RPGs anymore. I never did beat Shining Darkness, for the same reason. It felt like a grind after a while and I just got burned out on it. I sort of wish I had bought and played Phantasy Star 4, but I never did. By that time I wasn't paying attention to console games anymore. I'm kind of glad I "missed" Sega switching to those cheap cardboard boxes though. That's just sad. The old plastic boxes were really nice, and that's how I prefer to remember the system.
both earthworm Jim games are my favorite for two games for the Genesis. it may be nostalgia, but I remember the hype for the game, the magazines raved about em. I spent forever saving for ewj and finally got enough to buy it. it was every but of the awesome I was hoping for, funny cartoon graphics, hilarious characters, solid gameplay that changed it up often. just a classic I still enjoy playing through today.
I played Landstalker on Sega Channel back in the 90s and remember getting really far and then there was 1 spot where you go through a portal and the game would crash, apparently it couldn't be emulated or something. Such an underrated game.
The only portal I recall in that game is pretty close to the end of the game. If that's where it crashed, oof, what a bummer to get so close to the end and not finish it
You need to bring in Andrew and Rob as soon as possible and get their perspective on these collections. Great video as always. always happy to see your updates in my feed.
Your Genesis collection is awesome and I'll have to check out some of those games. The last one you mentioned looked really great. I love the colorful beach/tropical environment and the look of the game.
I was hoping to see Beyond Oasis. Awesome! Pretty much covered all the great ones. Initially, I was going to respond about the lack of Shining Force 1 and Beyond Oasis, but you thankfully mentioned it all. Wish I could of heard more about Shining Force from you. Not just colorful games, but absolutely amazing soundtracks as well. Those are easily two of the best Genesis games.
+Chris W Great post except that I disagree about that part: "Pretty much covered all the great ones" He has a good Genesis collection, especially among the early titles (1988 to 1991) but he has only around 10% of the overall goodness on the system, there are so many awesome Genesis games... On top of my head I can mention Panorama Cotton, Columns III, Devil Crash MD, Gunstar Heroes, Alien Soldier, Thunder Force III and IV, Comix Zone and, well, many others! +Retro Soul Oh Shining Force is well regarded but Beyond Oasis indeed deserves more recognition.
Eh, as far as I'm concerned, no Genesis game other than Sonic, uncensored Mortal Kombat, Aladdin, and maybe Phantasy Star IV seem "well regarded" and maybe Streets of Rage as well. At least among the bias Snes obsessed internet mainstream. Many Genesis enthusiasts understand it's great library though. So yeah, I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you.
I see what you mean but I think that you're exagerating a bit. Also this is what makes the Mega Drive so cool, it might have been very successful but it's still not your mainstream system, it's edgier, with a more diverse library helped by the fact that it had games development support from every regions Japan, US and Europe.
Great stuff :) as far as games being more easy during our childhood, I believe they were easier because our minds were more tuned to platform gaming. That was almost all we played then where as now has a much larger variety of game styles.
The keep case of Genesis games were of better quality than today's games. See the front transparent cover? It looks neat and solid and its free from creases.
love a lot of those games. Strider, Magical Hat and Valis III were games i got on Japanese import, and still definitely in my top games list. i hope you do a more in depth look at Magical Hat and I look forward to the Valis in depth review too, i never really played the others in series so probably missing out
Sweet collection I really want that Ghostbusters game and to play through Landstalkers and Beyond Oasis again sweet collection and thanks for sharing dude!
these videos made me go down video game memory lane from my childhood. love your passion. play battletoads & double dragon!!! i dont want to hype it up to much but its a fucking great game lol
You should do a SNES and NES game collections. I would love to hear what you think of those games. Maybe we (audience) need to know more about those games. I only own about 8 Genesis game and late in the library because someone stole my SNES and so I bought a Genesis later but never know what to buy. I'm glad you explain what is in it and see footages of those games.
I never had a Genesis but my best friends who were brothers had one and we played the crap out of Might and Magic II. We could get to the end but could never actually beat the dragon. That game was super frustrating.
You should check out warsong sequel johnny.Langrisser II,does indeed have a fan translation.11:45 nice that you mention landstalker that's a game i finally finished a few years ago.Thanks in part to a (let's play) i watched originally,got me motivated to finish it.
Strider was my first game. played it so much on Christmas. I'm surprised you don't have Contra, Gunstar heroes and castlevania bloodlines anyway good vid.
Funny, with DJ boy I never went beyond the second level when I was a kid but last year I popped it back in my old Mega Drive (Euro version so identical to the Genesis version) and beat it all the way through because essentially I abused the kick and jump kick shamelessly (only the casino bosses are easier using punches).
Awesome collection. Hey Johnny, did you ever get to try Gunstar Heroes? Awesome little Treasure game for Genesis/MD that was super heavy with 80's anime flair.
Hey Johnny! thanks for always recomend the Ys series. I just started playing Books I & II and man, IT IS AWESOME! just as you said. I'll like to repay you somehow, and that's why i'm gonna recommend you Gunstar Heroes for the Sega Genesis. Put that in your list of "games i have to play before i die" please!
my favorite Sega Genesis games , Kid Chameleon Shinobi Altered Beast Streets of Rage series Golden Axe series Sonic the Hedgehog series Columns Toejam & Earl Shadow Dancer secret of Shinobi Ristar Ecco the Dolphin R.C. Pro-Am , the Sega Genesis version
Shadow Dancer is my fave Shinobi game on the Genesis (who would have thought XD ) and it's IMO the superior game of the three! It's arcadey and a bit stealthey and memorization based - great stuff.
This is what matters in gaming, this is what is best in this community and why I love your shit so much Johnny; I don't give a shit about how many games you have or how cheap you got your last whole sale lot, I care about your history, your experiences, your anecdotes, you actually playing your games and bonding with them and over them. Love these collection videos, man!
RetroDeath I totally agree, great comment
We all agree my man. Johnny is a man who could be your best friend.
HOLY SHIT ITS RETRODEATH!!!! Fuckin love your videos bro!
Haha! Thx dude, I always appreciate hearing that.
Damn straight!
Sega not only removed the Shining Force footage, but also your physical copy.
Flared 🤣
Only johnny can make a collection video turn into an in depth phantasy star 2-3-4 review.
Honestly, Phantasy Star II really did need that hint book. I'm an RPG player, and that game is pretty vague.
LandStalker is my all time favorite game. I had so many great memories playing it as a child with my father that I made it a yearly ritual to play it through once every year. It's not as hard as you say it is. Though the jumping & moving platforms however can get quite difficult. Really looking forward to your review.
LandStalker is one the best Genesis games on the console. Too bad it came out really late on the console so not as many people enjoyed it.

They did make Lady Stalker which was never released outside of Japan cause I believed it wasn't as good but still decent.

I've heard that Alundra for the PS1 is a spiritual sequel to LandStalker and that a lot of the same people worked on it, but I haven't played it yet myself.
SuperBuu85 Alundra is awesome. i recently beat it and i was amazed at that game. alundra 2 ... pretty bad though
It's very similar in style, but it's a much darker game.
Definitely worth checking out.
Like Coorhagon said, the second is bad.
The 2 Sega games that really take me back are the first Streets of Rage and Toe Jam & Earl. Watching your vids really reminding me of the good ol days of the Genesis 😊
When I was 12 I managed to finish Might & Magic with little effort. Nowadays I find it incomprehensible!
Sega genesis is still my favorite console of all time, big shot out for the all the genesis fans best 16 bit console ever!!!
I loved Beyond Oasis. Of all the Genesis games with "next gen" graphics this one always did it for me. It looked so bright and colorful back when so many games had a grainy texture to everything. And then the Saturn sequel was good all over again.

I need that 110 page book for Phantasy Star 2!!! My dog ate the original!!! I have everything else CIB!!!
I remember thinking the same thing about phantasy star II back in the day. I was disappointed with the graphics vs the master system original.
Johnny I lost my copy of the metal gear collection in vita. I was so mad. Few years later, I found the cart alone behind my sofa. Very strange considering im super careful with all my games lol.

They've got Phantasy Star II playing on a Genesis at the pub near me which is crazy.
Every time he starts a video without saying "Welcome back to another episooooooode" it's really noticeable :)
This entire video right here is the pinnacle of what a true gamer is. If any of you were not paying attention to everything he said, not wanting to give some of these games a try, and not understanding his passion for gaming, then please put the damn controller down, and get the hell out of gaming altogether.

Great collection. I recently picked up a copy of trouble shooter and phelos. Pretty stoked to play them
Shadow Dancer, Sonic 2, Quack Shot, and Forgotten Worlds are by far my favorite Genesis games.
Landstalker... discovered its existance only recently and played it from beginning to end without looking once at a walkthrough! Hair pulling difficult for sure but man is it great! If you love Alundra you gotta play this kinda prequel
This channel is so good. So many games I never heard about. Huge respect!
Man,your Wonder Boy series video is very enlightening. I'm really glad i found your channel all those years ago. Have a great one!
that was great, such great memory's streets of rage, mickymouse, alien storm
I love your videos - in my opinion the best gaming channel on YT.
It takes me back to a great place & i thank you for that sir!
love the streets of rage music in the background.
Hey I'm been a fan of yours for years!!!! I truly hope you don't stop this show, you can do what you want but honestly your show has been my favorite ever.... your super awesome peace and love bro pause

Johnny be careful to who you let inside your house. Sometimes friends can arrive with strangers that steals shit so you have to keep a eye on them.
I really enjoy your videos, takes me back to my child-hood and I really haven't played games for some years.
I played Landstalker on Sega Channel back in the 90s and remember getting really far and then there was 1 spot where you go through a portal and the game would crash, apparently it couldn't be emulated or something. Such an underrated game.

Strider 2 is my favorite in the series ... but I think you mean Strider Returns Journey from Darkness.
Your enthusiasm is very catching, Johnny :)
You're telling me you don't have Castlevania: Bloodlines?! Get it, dood! It's amazing!!
You need to bring in Andrew and Rob as soon as possible and get their perspective on these collections. Great video as always. always happy to see your updates in my feed.
Your Genesis collection is awesome and I'll have to check out some of those games. The last one you mentioned looked really great. I love the colorful beach/tropical environment and the look of the game.
My current favorites are Mega Bomberman, SubTerrania and Casltevania: Bloodlines.

Road Rash 3 and Streets Of Rage 1 and 2was wanna my favorite series on the genesis
I absolutely love your enthusiasm behind each and every video. That is the main reason why I watch your channel. Keep it up bro!
Beyond oasis was awesome and the Saturn version was too!
Beyond Oasis is the last game I completed, great late Genesis title, beautiful and fun action RPG.
Instant like before I watch the video, you're a genius in your own way.
thanks for making this video! i got a lot of ideas on games to get now lol
Great stuff :) as far as games being more easy during our childhood, I believe they were easier because our minds were more tuned to platform gaming. That was almost all we played then where as now has a much larger variety of game styles.
SEGA ported Strider themselves, not Capcom. But great vid, and glad to catch part 2!
The keep case of Genesis games were of better quality than today's games.
See the front transparent cover? It looks neat and solid and its free from creases.
I love Decapattack! Didn't know it was another game in Japan.
Great stuff, an my sister who loved Sega is now heart sick you still have all yours and she only kept 1/2 hers :D
shadow Dancer is not based on the arcade though , the master system version is. The Genesis version is closer to the original Shinobi arcade game
You seem to be geared heavily towards the early days of the Genesis, missing quite a few gems from around late 92 onwards.
And here i was... waiting for Valis since the beginning of the first video xD
Awesome collection!
Thanks for sharing. Johnny!
Battletoads Double Dragon was an awesome game, especially coop with a friend, spent hours playing with friends on genesis and snes
love a lot of those games.
Strider, Magical Hat and Valis III were games i got on Japanese import, and still definitely in my top games list.
i hope you do a more in depth look at Magical Hat and I look forward to the Valis in depth review too, i never really played the others in series so probably missing out
Sweet collection I really want that Ghostbusters game and to play through Landstalkers and Beyond Oasis again sweet collection and thanks for sharing dude!
Double Dragon & Battletoads is a awesome game! I used to play it on the SNES though
Amazing video as always Johnny ...Please don't stop HCG! That MUSHA tho
The spiritual follow-up for Landstalker is Alundra for the Psx
these videos made me go down video game memory lane from my childhood. love your passion. play battletoads & double dragon!!! i dont want to hype it up to much but its a fucking great game lol
Ridiculous love for Valis! I have the first one on pc engine...DOPE!!!
Beyond Oasis! Memories! Funny thing is i only have a cartridge for it too. but i made a custom one for it.
You should do a SNES and NES game collections. I would love to hear what you think of those games. Maybe we (audience) need to know more about those games. I only own about 8 Genesis game and late in the library because someone stole my SNES and so I bought a Genesis later but never know what to buy. I'm glad you explain what is in it and see footages of those games.
tr1bes he's done a NES boxed collection video.
I never had a Genesis but my best friends who were brothers had one and we played the crap out of Might and Magic II. We could get to the end but could never actually beat the dragon. That game was super frustrating.
I had Rocket Knight Adventures, Aladdin and Vector Man 2, among many others.
You should check out warsong sequel johnny.Langrisser II,does indeed have a fan translation.11:45 nice that you mention landstalker that's a game i finally finished a few years ago.Thanks in part to a (let's play) i watched originally,got me motivated to finish it.
I like the cardboard cylinders holding up that sagging shelf
They quoted memory sizes in megaBITS on those systems, not megabyte... so a cartridge that advertised being 8 meg was actually 1 megabyte.
Battle toads vs double dragon is an excellent 2 player game, definitely give it a try.
Strider was my first game. played it so much on Christmas. I'm surprised you don't have Contra, Gunstar heroes and castlevania bloodlines anyway good vid.
Shining force 2 is the best Sega game to me
Wow Battletoads & Double Dragons... I think it's great just for the 4th or so level with the ships, all I'm gunna say.
Awesome!!! I grew up with the Sega Genesis!! It was my first console :D I will be hunting these games for sure------loose carts though ahahaha xD
Warsong music was my favourite Genesis tunes :)
With Phantasy Star II what they should have done was later on do a Sega-CD release that added those backgrounds back in.
Funny, with DJ boy I never went beyond the second level when I was a kid but last year I popped it back in my old Mega Drive (Euro version so identical to the Genesis version) and beat it all the way through because essentially I abused the kick and jump kick shamelessly (only the casino bosses are easier using punches).
Congratulations on 150k subs!!! Best CZcamsr ever. Is the CZcams Adsense hurting you? Maybe you should make another patreon video?
That T-shirt is sick! I need one.
That Crusader of is currently going for almost $7,000 for a brand new sealed version 👀🤦🏽♂️.
Awesome collection. Hey Johnny, did you ever get to try Gunstar Heroes? Awesome little Treasure game for Genesis/MD that was super heavy with 80's anime flair.
Megadrive was awesome, think the game I spent the most time on was Mega-lo-mania, absolutely loved it
SEGA of America and Japan really needs to get you to their HQ. You've been the biggest SEGA fan for as long as I've been watching you
No Splatterhouse 2 & 3 Johnny?
He has a good collection but he needs to dig deeper, so many awesome Genesis games that are missing here!
To be fair, the prices on those games are ridiculous
Hey Johnny! thanks for always recomend the Ys series. I just started playing Books I & II and man, IT IS AWESOME! just as you said. I'll like to repay you somehow, and that's why i'm gonna recommend you Gunstar Heroes for the Sega Genesis. Put that in your list of "games i have to play before i die" please!
my favorite Sega Genesis games , Kid Chameleon
Shinobi
Altered Beast
Streets of Rage series
Golden Axe series
Sonic the Hedgehog series
Columns
Toejam & Earl
Shadow Dancer secret of Shinobi
Ristar
Ecco the Dolphin
R.C. Pro-Am , the Sega Genesis version
I love Game Sack's parody of Earnest Evans!
Hope that you eventually find your copy of Shining Force.
Same. It's a precious game(in the sense that it's so, so good)
beyond oasis best graphics on genesis......greetings from Greece :-)
Shadow Dancer is my fave Shinobi game on the Genesis (who would have thought XD ) and it's IMO the superior game of the three! It's arcadey and a bit stealthey and memorization based - great stuff.
Thank you Johnny for another fantastic video!
"They thought American audiences were too stupid" Johnny Millenium 2017 ;)
can you do this sort of this with other consoles too please, i like it. eg do it for snes or n64 etc
IIRC, the magazine ads for Gaiares said the game is pronounced guy-are-us.
Really nice collection of Sega Genesis games!!!!
