RETRO TECH: SEGA GENESIS
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 12. 2019
- In 1988, Sega took Nintendo by storm and released the Sega Genesis. The conflict between the two companies created a video game console war for the ages. I learn about the cultural impact the Genesis had from comedian Hannibal Burress and play Mortal Combat for the first time against Mari Takahashi from Smosh Games. Fellow CZcams creator Jake Baldino from Gameranx teams up with me to test some questionable Sega Genesis gaming accessories.

30 years ago, saying "Come to my basement and ill show you something cool" didnt sound bad
Haha
That was a good one!
🤣🤣
Says you!!?? I lived back in those days, and I did go down into someone's basement.
And I tell you what, it was a mistake that I would not make again. My bum was sore for two weeks.🥴😭
BoxHead 42 umm... I am afraid to ask but why?
Dude, this is the first youtube premium show I'm actually into.
RIGHT?!? XD
Me two!
Cobra Kai is up there
Aditya venkat That’s the reason I felt like joining. (:
If anyone is in college they can get it for 4.99 instead 9.99
As an older millennial, this just plastered a smile on my face. Thank you for bringing back so many memories!
He put the game in with the console on. He’s lucky he didn’t damage the cartridge. lol
Does that actually damage it? I do it quite often and nothing has happened
@@mckicks nah.
Exactly... Dude is all about tech and does the dumbest thing... Incredibile...
@@mambomambo5 to be fair, newer machines wouldn't have this requirement. You can be powered on, stick the game's media in the machine and select it. Coming from newer tech and checking out older machines tends to give people different tendencies when it comes to how we interact with it. Those of us who came from those older machines simply have different notions of how to interact with a device by default, through our experience.
Hahaha. Amazing comment. I checked the same thing - that was completely inappropriate.
If I remember well, one “Cheat mode” between games were accessible only switching cartridges with the system turned on - maybe something related with Sonic and SuperMonaco GP - I read that in a magazine from the 90s when I was a Kid. The advise from the magazine was “It could severely damage the cartridge or the console” - great trick to teach the kids!
This show is just MKBHD telling everyone he interviews how young he is
Yep, also, I thought he was around 30 now, how old was he when he started his youtube channel? And also, he looks and sounds considerably older, must be how tall he is.
One last thing, most people that are into tech, are or have been at least in their formative years, are into video games, it's strange how he's not.
its almost as if telling someone your age helps them get a general understanding of your familiarity with technology of certain era. weird.
The ultimate flex
Retro Doc ok boomer
@@imnotacat5299 Aaahhh I see what you were going for there. Lol
"Come to my basement and check this out."
No, thanks.
Haha. Definitely not. 😁
But I guess if it is probably one kid telling another kid and they are buddies, then maybe it is not so scary. But yeah all the same, let the game be in the living room not basement. 🙂
The world was innocent then. Kids even played with their joysticks in the basement.
😂😂😂
We had these days, I'm 23
Alex McCaffrey “with their joystick” woah let’s not go that far buddy
I remember the day my mom came home and told me, "I bought you a Nintendo!" I ran out to the car only to find she had bought me an Atari (much older system). I didnt have the heart to tell her what it actually was and hugged amd thanked her. It had a joystick and a single button on the controlled. I played the game it came with until it froze, which I was convinced meant I finished it. So I just told myself, "I guess I flipped it over", which meant I passed the whole game. I ended up getting a Super Nintendo years later. Memories
Wtf man , this is not a super nintendo console review , sorry pal , wrong video
@@MrArreaga c'mon man let the guy tell his story
im surprised your mom didn't read the box and casually said: yeah its a nintendo. eitherway hoped you liked the atari
@@protocat-w-3197 if I remember correctly, she brought it to me in a plastic bag. My mom wouldnt have known the difference between consoles. This was back in the early 90's.
You and your mom sounds like awesome people.
Dangit, the "SEEEGAAAA" made me teary-eyed immediately. Oh nostalgia, you are so strong.
Miss the streets of rage and super shinobi
That sweet chime of "seeeegaaaa" transported you instantly into a new world. Thank you Sega.
And they still continued to make revolutionary crazy games like Alien Isolation
Oh shit, so it didn’t say….never mind lmao
@@Kalmar5567 ?
What a pain it was not being able to save the progress in Sonic, countless times we started from the beginning.
Until you found the music track cheat and you were able to skip to the last level :) ...

I can’t believe everyone always skips over sega Saturn when they talk about the genesis and the Dreamcast, the sega Saturn was outrageously underrated...
Yea too right. I remember playing it for the first time thinking how is thing not even heard of? Sad that it didn’t take off well.
Yeah the sega Saturn saw way expense and ps1 dropped and killed it.But sega Saturn is losted gem in history of gaming
💯 Truth
I had the Saturn
Yes. Resident Evil, Sega Rally and Nights Into Dreams were my main jams. Great times
Judging older tech with a modern mindset isn’t giving these products their due. During the time, the add ons were dope
Are you talking about the 32X? That was s--- back then and it's s--- now. The only good thing about it is that it has a miniscule library so it's easier to collect for, but then all the boxes are cardboard and most of the games stink! The Mega CD add-on had more appeal, but not much. A slow consumer-grade CD drive with a library of 90% FMV crap like Sewer Shark, Corpse Killer, Night Trap and Double Switch. The only decent games on the platform were Snatcher, Keio Flying Squadron and Sonic CD. Not exactly worth the exorbitant price tag.
@The Retro Speculative Silpheed, Shining Force CD, and Ecco the Dolphin CD were pretty good as well; but I agree that most of the Sega CD library was trash. That being said, the CD add on, made way more sense than the 32 x.
What Sega should have done was just upgrade the graphics with a chip in the cartridge, similar to Nintendo; or with pre-rendering, as they did for Vectorman. The 32x was completely unnecessary, considering these options.
and he aint even using a crt tv
"I think the victors is obvious. Its us. Its the gamers" - Such a beautiful way to put it
ikr
on point statement
Fantastic statement and completely true.
2:15 Felt like throwing my TV across the room when he tried putting in the cartridge with the power already on.
cringe worthy much LOL
Me: see’s that happen
The comments: Everyone disliked that
Yeah, I said “don’t do that!” Out loud while watching
Fr fr 😂
😅😅😅😅
The sound output through the headphone jack was just next level. It sounded completely different and awesome compared to the sound coming out of the TV speakers.
Here in the UK it was called the Mega drive. It was amazing.
Hearing that “SEGAAA!” Brings up memories
Yes...! The icon of the character sound,when we began to turn power on,after we insert A cd games to that portable video games.
Yes....! I still remember that.
Yeah.....saaayyygaaaa. I always imagined a choir in white robes holding controllers and singing with babies with wings in the air.
So much memories too. I was born at 1972 so i remember a lot of tech from ZX Spectrum, commodore 64, atari..... Sega Genesis (Sega mega drive), Super Nintendo (SNES) and many more. I was experience all of them and some other cool things (like first VR in 90-s)

I was really expecting to hear "SEGAAAAAA" at the very start of this video.
Joy to watch. Great insights, guests and brought a whole heap of good memories back. Thank you.
You are by far my favorite youtube creator. I mean, you got it all. Within your channel we get new tech reviews, old tech flashbacks and more. Combine that with really smooth editing and a personal approach... No wonder you are killin' it. Rock on Marques!
Seeing how he first turn in ON and THEN plug the cart in I shout: "NNOOOOO!!!!"
i was readying myself into the moment when that poor genesis or that poor sonic cartridge would sort themselfs out from that abuse.
but then i remembered that those things were build like tanks, and even after nuclear strike those 80's and 90's cartridge consoles would still work like new.
Hahahaha… exactly! Me too, I was shouting “stop! stop! For the love of God, switch the damn thing off! kkkk
I LITERALLY went to the comment section just to see someone point that out, Thank you.
I almost died seeing that lol
MKBHD the type of guy to put a cartridge in with the genesis already on.
Lol bruh I was literally screaming at the video
😂💀 he a baby he don’t know wtf he doing you know the new shit you can cut it on without the game in it 😂😂😂💀💀💀
He looks older than me.. I'm 23 and anybody with a gameboy back in the day just knows that's a big no no, at least he didn't take the cartridge out while it was on right?...
Words cannot describe how upset I am rn
All the old people here are pissed. I’m old people.
Loved these retro tech episodes. Should do some more
I had the Sega Genesis. I am still nostalgic for it. I loved Batman and the Batman game was my first on the console. I never thought about it being edgy, consciously , but it was dark, literally, set in Gotham city with edgier comic characters.

This.

The original Sonic still impresses me to this day.
It was a epic achievement from the sega team at that time.
Funny thing is, the 3 years younger super famicom could not process such speed on screen. Alot of people have forgot this. Sonic also made the genesis succesfull.
I can remember every teenager wanted one, then again alot of parents found it too expensive.
As kid i daily visited a toy store where they had a megadrive demopod, staring at aliensyndrome, altered beast golden axe, knowing i would never own one (my parentd did not have much money)

I'm glad I grew up with the Sega Genesis. It was my first gaming console, and made video games a lifelong passion of mine. They certainy played a part in shaping the gaming industry at that time.
Super Nintendo was mine
Nope. Nintendo SAVED the gaming industry from falling. Learn REAL HISTORY OF GAMING.
This guy not knowing how to work a Genesis is heartbreaking. What a missed childhood. I grew up at the perfect time, born 1986! I’ve been exposed to every system ever made and what a journey it’s been!
Same. 1983 for me

I had to get premium because I wanted to binge watch it, but getting to watch free a little late is a good deal
“Ohhhhhhhhh!! THAT’s why you talking to me like that.” 😂😂😂
This is awesome! Great concept, I love seeing the new generation try to use tech I grew up on for the first time.
Even the games back then was so wholesome. Really miss it
I'm 34, I can't remember what I did yesterday but I clearly remember how to do most of the MK2 fatalities!
Haha i know exactly what you mean. ⬇️ ➡️ ⬅️ ⬅️ high kick. Liu Kang🤣
Liu kang was my favorite character, never got tired of doing that dragon fatality 😁 I had a snes too but I don't remember many street fighter codes, my go to character was always ryu... I used to learn all the tricks from gaming magazines or through friends since the internet as we know it wasn't around yet, good memories...
Lol
You gave me manly tears yo

The dreamcast was ahead of it's time. It's sad that it wasn't a success, it should've been.
Thean Kotze want to start a gofundme and bring it back? I have so many ideas. Literally dream of this at night.
It wasn't ahead of it's time, it was dead before it got off the ground. People like me and my friends had just got done dropping hundreds of dollars on the 32x and the Saturn. They were both terrible investments. We were all done wasting our money on Sega products by the time the dreamcast arrived. Sony had already been killing it for years.
Brad Strawn
Ok, but you're not really talking about the dreamcast any, the dreamcast was indeed very revolutionary, with its arcade perfect ports and all due to being based off of the sega naomi arcade hardware.
It was the start of the 6th generation a whole year and a half before the Playstation 2, it spawned a new but short lived proprietary format, GD-Roms. The VMU's were pretty neat too. It was also the first console to standardize online play, it blew the competition out of the water when it came out in terms of technical capabilities
Thean Kotze
It was a success, popular for its time, the problem was the PS2 took away all of its popularity
@@SK91NO I would expect the first console of the next gen to blow away the competition. Just like the Genesis was miles ahead of the NES. That's not ahead of its time. It didn't fail because consumers didn't understand it (which is what ahead of its time implies)it failed because Sega had been churning out half baked consoles for years.
The genesis was amazing. Saturn too..... despite the lack of games. The Dreamcast was however, the legend
DC was their best, Genesis 2nd, Master System 3rd, Saturn 4th 😆
@@britishwordplay4335 yeah Saturn was what ruined Sega. That system should've been amazing but they butchered it.
I don’t get why Saturn gets so much hate, I remember it being earth shattering back then, the 3D graphics were amazing!!
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 What was wrong with Saturn? They had a lot of amazing games, I remember when it first came out it was a game changer, so many great 3D games, like clockwork night, bug, Batman was great, the racing games were incredible...why does it get so much hate?
@@jaredchampagne2752 Probably because it killed the company.
Each and every line said in this video is so true ! Thank you for making this video, I was so emotional and happy after remembering good old days. ❤️
Except the part where they said the sega genesis alone was responsible for the esrb...

Watching this always makes me cry😢coz it was the era of pop culture gaming history in the world. I had the NES and i had sega i had everything when i was a kid. This era will always gonna be the best era or video games and the juggernaut in gaming history
You're lucky. I had to sell my Genesis to get a Super Nintendo as a teen.
It was one or the other for me and most of my friends growing up. We weren't rich enough to have both.
@@bionicsidekick6604 I mean what i meant about i had the genesis and the NES was it was given to me as a gift. We weren’t rich too. I just got lucky when i was a kid. That’s why i became a gamer bcoz of it. It’s the Nostalgia about tha era that will never be broken. You got lucky to bro coz you got a console when your were a kid. Let’s say we just got super lucky 👍🏻
@@alvincentyu Agreed 👍🏻
It's unbelievable that this guy never played SEGA Genesis before, Well i played Genesis as a kid and I have so much nostalgia with it, Gosh I really missed my old times.
I'm just a couple of years older than him and I grew up with Genesis
Aaron Warren same i cant believe he’s never played Genesis
So, you played it when you were in the age range of 2-4 max. And "Growing up with something" after the product is already outdated, which in the case of the Genesis is 1995 after the launch of the Sega Saturn doesn't count.
Lalfred I think he means that during his childhood that’s the console he had and enjoyed playing it, hence why he said he grew up playing with it. Makes sense to me
Genesis came out 2 Years before I was born so when I was maybe 5 I was playing genesis and snes and didn’t play ps1 til maybe 1998. We couldn’t afford the latest and greatest
@@aaronwalakay Yeah, but the fact that your experience came later means that Marques probably didn't experience it because it was pretty much out by the time he was 2.
Mortal Kombat, Sonic and Fifa 97 were my favorites. I can still feel my "all-new" 6 button controller in my hands. Good old days...
I mean, Sega licenses new ones that have USB or wireless with Retrobit if you really want one. They also do Saturn ones, too.
Mine's Mortal combat, mighty fighters, Monaco gp, Mario, double dragon and street fighters. I had bunch of cartridges but these were my favs 🖤
Had to have a 6 button
Dam bro, your videos are always dope, but this is top tier!!!! My childhood came rushing back!!
Watching you unwrap my childhood and where my love of gaming began is ... um ... no words.

‘Super Nintendo Sega Genesis’
‘When I was dead broke man I couldn’t picture this’

That sound is not in Mortal Kombat either!

I really really enjoyed this one Marques. Thanks.
it’s so crazy watching this video in 2021, when we’re now seeing things at 4k, 2180p, possibly 240hz. to see how video games and graphics have advance from 8 bit pixels to cinematic type graphics is truly amazing
Sadly better graphics did not produce better games. MK3 is still best game ever, Rock-n-roll racing still best racing game.

90s was the greatest times ever. Everything was cheaper. $100 you was able to do alot with it. Hell $20 was enough in the 90s

@@AndrewDavid84 Back then I was always looking forward to something better. Not so much now. I enjoy the Switch way more than the PS4 and PS5.
This dude turned the Sega on before putting in the cartridge.. That's a big no no and the reason it didnt work at first
I remember back in 1990 me and group of friends went back to one our friends house, to play on their SEGA - we had all been drinking and some people had been smoking pot, we put on a boxing game. That particular evening stands as one of the most memorable of my later teen years. It was hilarious, people fought each other through the game and took turns with the winner of each bout, when it came to my turn my boxer weighed 400 stone and had a punch the same as an elephant gun, the on screen boxer could hardly move and it too ages to throw a punch, his opponent was a super featherweight who was impossible to corner or punch, the knockout moment was just too funny, bear in mind that the graphics were blocky and clunky with none of the finesse of PS4 or 5. It was a memorable evening - every time SEGA is mentioned it sends me right back to then. Thank you SEGA!
Damn, seeing all this makes me feel 6 years old again.
Seeing all those cord hookups and old tv made my heart flutter. That was a good sleep over Friday night and Saturday morning.

How very American of them to not mention console variations across the world and talk about the ESRB like it’s an international body.
“I’d rather play a genesis is it has better graphics” they don’t change do they
Nice vudei
and unlike today .. he also liked it because it was 'Bigger'.
Well actually super Nintendo has better graphics and came out at the same time as the Genesis
I'll take Genesis and Sonic and it costs a lot less.
Still Super Nintendo is still better
All the retro vibes this gives are surreal
The kids who babysat me had one , I had an nes and after I played sonic and mortal kombat , I knew I had to do whatever I could to get one ! Great video
Since everyone is commenting about how premium is now worth it I feel like I also want to put in my 2 cents.
I think everyone likes this show because one Marques takes a lot of pride in what he creates so he wouldn’t allow himself to release mediocre videos and two I feel like a lot of other premium shows try too hard to be good in the sense that they try to find a topic that’s relatively mainstream to get views as people ride the wave.
Also, for myself and probably plenty of other people this series taps into things that we didn’t even know we real it missed. Brings back memories that make us happy and in a time like 2019-2020 that is very much needed.
Props to Marques. Very well done show!
Check out could you survive the movies by Vsauce3. Also a great premium show.
I know you guys love this dude but to be honest I don't see this as that great.
The whole thing feels more like a thing that will attrack a viewer that just watches for the hell of it but not really about making a great small documentary into Genesis.
Like a poser Genesis video than a real one if you get my drift.
Good camera, clean image, even going and finding people to talk in a big studio with variable lighting but a bit soulless to be honest and not very informative ether.

It sucked! (Never played one)
@@billlee1724 lol but seriously if you ever see a used one pick it up. There were some great games on it that still hold up today if you’re into “classic” games.
It was good and too advanced at that time. Dreamcast died not because the console is bad, but is in Sega's fault in advertising and distribution.
@@FAIZ2367 I heard someone once claim that it was because Sony built in a DVD player and Sega didn’t. But I think it was also what you said. Ironically I think Dreamcast broke a record at the time for consoles sold in a month or something like that, so they honestly shouldn’t have failed
Oh yeah it was but it could not compete against the PS2 and Xbox so Sega stopped it.
It's called the Sega Mega Drive where I come from. I think it was only called Genisis in the USA.
Was the Mega Drive in the UK i think if I remember right there was a 16bit and a 32bit version they looked slightly different
I think there is a difference between the two. We had both: the mega drive was bigger in size, had different sounds and Genesis had a major difference that I can't for the life of me, remember. But I even remember borrowing a Genesis from a friend while giving him our mega drive for a few days. What on earth was it??

"Yo, came into my basement and check this out" sounds like the start of a horror movies
You can't talk about the Sega Dreamcast's failure without talking about the Saturn so it's a shame that wasn't mentioned. It's also worth mentioning the Dreamcast has a pretty substantial cult following. Overall though it was a great video about it's legacy
Exactly, what "killed" Sega was the Saturn, they rushed it because Sony was coming up with the Playstation, it was too expensive (400$ vs 300$ of the PS1) and way to hard to program for, plus, the first games that came out looked awful compared to the PS launch titles which had a lot of 3D games (and then the N64 with Mario 64). When they released the Dreamcast they were already in a financial hole, they had GREAT games, but 3º party support wasn't there and the DVD player on the PS2 (major selling point at the time) was the final kick for Sega.
I Still love the Dreamcast, what an amazing system, just thinking that it had Online gaming in '99, that would not become a common thing 'till the xbox live came out 3 years later (i know both the PS2 and GC had internet, but they were add-ons that never got much attention).
They also didn't mention the Super Nintendo, which a lot don't know actually outsold the Genesis.

20:42 they just totally ignored the Sega Saturn and went to the Dreamcast after the Genesis
32x, Sega CD. But Playstation took saturn out...Dreamcast was one of the most underrated game systems ever
poorly produced video. they didn't do their research because they aren't actually gamers. mkbhd is a tech guy, not a serious gamer like happy console gamer or avgn who knows the history. pathetic
@@StreetFighterIIFeb someone got out of bed on the wrong side.
@@StreetFighterIIFeb Don’t forget the Gaming Historian. His stuff is really well researched.
I couldn't stop laughing.
They must of ignored the Saturn intentionally.
MORE! These are awesome!
I was not expecting to see Jake in an mkbhd video, very cool
Before the Dreamcast, there was the Saturn, that was in competition with the Playstation. Dreamcast was with the Playstation 2 and the original Xbox.
Dreamcast also was best console Sega ever made. I had Dreamcast and love it just like Sega Genesis, SegaBoys - we are 30+ now)
I think the competition was between the Nintendo N64, the Playstation PS1, and the Sega Saturn. I remember playing Power Rangers on my friend's N64 in the late 90's and i was like whoa! how can i convince my parents to get me one coz i had just started playing on a Sega Mega Drive 2. My fave game on Sega was Mortal Kombat MK3 Ultimate which to me is still the best MK game ever made. Then i got my hands on the PS1 and it was game over from there. Still a fan of PS to this day even though i dont game much. Last console i had before i gave it away to my younger cousin was a PSP 3000
Dreamcast was 1999. It actually faced PS1 and 64 as competitors for longer than it faced Xbox PS2 and Gamecube. It's power, however, was much more on par with the later generation.
Isn't the original XBOX supposed to be next gen Dreamcast? XBOX have several Sega exclusive games back then
The Dreamcast died in 2001. The Gamecube competed with the PS2 and X-Box
I'm only one minute in and I'm already crying from nostalgia !!!!!! This was the best console ever
This makes me want to watch ready player one again.
I still have this at my parents house! So many good memories. Sonic, Aladdin and Automic Runner were my go to
Sega Genesis was my childhood. I literally couldn't see myself playing games on a Super Nintendo even now. Sega was raw, unhinged and didn't fuck around. Seeegaaaaaa... for life!!!!
Nintendo kept delaying the Super Nintendo that's why Sega had time to improve their games for Genesis. The SMS was actually good but failed because Sega wanted all game development in house.
Yess, best console of that era..
@@ballstothewall38 Yeah Sega back then did not want third party companies to make games for the SMS because they thought they would lose revenue and let another company make money off their system. Nintendo realized there were many companies that produced great games and realized they could sell more systems if they got third party titles. Nintendo also got a percentage of the third party companies game sales revenues.

The Dreamcast was actually very well received! It was piracy and the lack of a DVD player among some other issues that was its demise.
Dvd player? U mean CD Drive?
@@kylegordy113 no I mean DVD player. The reason the PS2 was one of the best selling consoles of all time, was due to the fact that it could play DVDs. Consumers didn’t see the need to buy a stand alone DVD player when they could get a gaming console that plays movies for the same price. This is one of the big reasons the Dreamcast lost so many sales to the PS2. Was because Sega opted to not put one in, since it was for gaming.
@@fossil-bit8439 dreamcast came out 2 years earlier and ps only had a cd drive but ya.
@@fossil-bit8439 it would have been impossible in 1998. But Dreamcast didn't really lose any sales to the PS2 overall because Sega pulled the plug 6 weeks after the PS2 launched in the West. Sad but true DC had no path to success due to Sega's earlier follies and arcade revenue collapsing in a perfect storm.
@@kylegordy113 it had a unique gdrom drive :)
Just turning it on was a memory unlocked 🔓
5:00 the sega master system was awesome as hell! I loved that system. The games were incredibly cool.
With the mortal kombat memories of blockbuster video tournaments….what a time to be alive
Im 25 and I played mortal combat on sega before. 😂 feeling lucky that i had older brother who allowed me to experience that.
I'm also 25 and I've played them all. And I'm the first born
@@macmanuelodumeru3708 ....Yeah that was kind of shocking. Who hasn't played MK? It's like foundation of video games.
Yup same, not courtesy an older sibling, just generally the only games I played till I was 8 and then I discovered PC gaming and I guess the parents got rid of my genesis and games, so many games. :(
@@Novastar6 of games in general? Not at all. Of violent video games, yes. Without MK we wouldn't have the adult games we have now.
Dummy, you never played. The 2nd controller is always unplugged
I’m on free trial just for this
You don't need premium to watch this
True. You don’t need premium you can watch 2 weeks after the initial release.
All the cool kids with the 16 bit games...
the SEGA intro sound 💔
The hours I spent playing Super Shinobi, Sonic, Desert Sequel, Michael Jackson Smooth Criminal, spiderman and many more..
My father brought it home 1 week before Christmas '93 it was my first console even though I have played Nintendo classic and SNES. Sega was the one for me. I still play Sega games on my Nintendo switch. It was the bomb until PS1 came out. Love for Sega
