I got a Sega Genesis for Christmas, at a point I had zero interest in video games and knew nothing about them. I was more into Leggo and GI Joe at that point. Then I walked into the kitchen the day after Christmas, and my dad had the Sega connected to the TV, the only one in the house with RCA inputs, playing Sonic 1. I was completely stunned, immediately became addicted to video games, and still have that Genesis and that copy of Sonic to this day... and still play it.
mattorama Awesome story Bro.

Wow this takes me back. I remember watching this years ago. Also rich hasn't changed one bit lol
You were kind of a spoiled kid, bro. Your friends, too. I wish my parents were so gracious as to drop hundreds of dollars on multiple consoles and tons of games almost as soon as they were released. We weren't hard up for money or anything, but they just didn't believe in throwing that kind of money for some merchandise that they didn't particularly deem to be a positive pastime for a 10-year old. I was thrilled when I finally got my NES in late 1989, and I had to sell it to afford to buy my own Genesis in '92. Which I promptly sold to get a SNES in '93 because of my hard-on for Zelda and Squaresoft. There's my story. Must have been really frustrating for you to have to wait an extra month to get your Game Boy and SNES while you were getting every piece of technology under the sun handed to you. Okay, I'm done being bitter. My parents did get me a nice car when I was 16, so there's that. They really just hated video games (brain rot, my dad called them).
I had to rent games when i was growing up .And that was hard to get my mom to do.
Mike Bryant Isn't it funny how much the culture of video games has changed over the years? During the boom in the late 70's and early 80's, it was sort of an across the board thing--more of a fad than anything else. People went to arcades and were amazed by the technology. But after the crash and the advent of the personal computer, people sort of migrated away from them until Nintendo brought the console market back to prominence. Except now suddenly, it was viewed as more of a "toy." So video games were for kids. Not only that, they were "mindless" and highly stigmatized by adults. My parents derided video games heavily, and I was only allowed so much time to play per day (even though television itself received no such restrictions--as if one "rots your brain" but not the other). These days--and you can partially attribute this to my generation now being adults--video games are for everyone, and they are not necessarily viewed as a mindless waste of time. You could argue that contribute to an idle lifestyle and obesity if you want to compartmentalize things, but that applies to all aspects of our plugged in lifestyle today. The bottom line is that we've come a long way with the perception of gaming in society.
+frozenaorta Wtf kind of name is "frozenaorta"?
Serjo777 This must be your first time on CZcams if mine is the strangest handle you've seen. But to answer your question, it implies that my black heart itself isn't quite frozen yet, but its primary artery is--so it's close.
frozenaorta
But why tho?
i'm working on it as we speak. You have to realize these take alot of work and (although I wish I could) I can't neglect my other obligations and just work on this, but rest assured it's coming. It has a couple surprise guests in it as well.
no problem! glad you enjoyed it!
Greatest review iv'e ever seen, constantly quote from this all the time. Underrated!!
Good stuff bro, looking forward to pt 2
Wow what a trip to memory lane! Love this video awesome work keep them coming!

Great review Rich, gave me some laughs, you should consider doing more in this style. Looking forward to Part 2!

can't wait for part 2 I never thought I would get so excited for a CZcams video
thanks man....it took the hell out of me but it was worth....make sure to share this video with your friends....
I lost a cousin in the Console Wars, it was a crazy time.
very nice rundown, good job man! I'm down to keep watching your vids.
I just wanted you to know, I subscribed to you the other day, I've just been watching video after video, and I wish I would've known about you earlier, your videos, opinions and perspectives are amazing! Thank you for the great vids, some of us do truly appreciate the time and effort you put into them.
I check your channel like every 4 hours to see if you already posted a new video!
Like pocketmego said, great video!
This video reminds me of some of your older videos. Great work, don't have enough time to leave a longer comment but you done good sir
Thanks for sharing your good memories on console. I had similar experiences as well but I grew up in Japan so we played different games. I had a Famicon and Dragon Quest was the biggest games then. I didn't get Super Famicon but instead I inherited Sega Genesis from my cousin because he was going off to college and gaming was taking away his school time. I think it worked out well, I enjoyed Sega and Shinning Force and Phantasy Star was enough to satisfy my RPG lust lol
Ah dude amazing video. Really puts you in the 16 bit era when everything was fresh and new. Looking forward to the next.
This is like my favorite video by you now lol. So much nostalgia.
Epic vid man... You nailed it 100%
working on it as we speak. It's going to be about 30 minutes long....that is why it is taking me so long.
Holy shit, that was incredible. And there is more to come?? Definitely looking forward to it. :)
thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great vid Rich!
Please, keep this up. I love retro reviews!
I was thinking the Egoraptor thing right before you brought it up, that cracked me up. Great video.
i think I am going to take your advice....this is more what I am about. News and commentaries are still going to play a role, but a smaller one. This to me feels more fruitful then just talking about news stories.
You made me laugh so badly XD I reacted the exact same way about this. What an amazing video
Awesome Video! So much nostalgia!
man, i love this video, it put a smile on my face the whole time hahaha
Hey Rich. I know this is sort of old now, but this is the BEST AND FUNNIEST video ever.
Awesome video, keep it up!
aww man im loving this and really hope to see more like this from you. Oh and by the way egoraptor's sequelitis castlevania 4 is in the recommendation box lol
2:27 , your dad got the worlds best babysitter at the time, The best investment ever
Great video Rich! Brings back so many childhood memories. Even though I made the step to pc gaming (due to your ''is pc gaming for you video'' I bought a Intel i5 2500k with 8 GB of ram and a Geforce GTX 670) nothing can top the 16 bit era. I remember playing Super Double Dragon till the early mornings with my brother. Man, that game was awesome!
I feel so special that I already knew the story of your Genesis before seeing this :)
Reviewtechusa at its finest loved these two videos
wowwwww... honestly??? i loved this video!!!. cant wait for part 2. super castlevania 4 was a classic!!! glad i subscribed. hehe :)
Great retro piece the visuals and the jokes had me laughing til it hurt.
Awesome video btw Rich.
Hey Rich! Did you own any of the GENESIS add-ons during the 90's? Personally, I think the Sega CD is awesome. Great product at the wrong time.
Mega CD should have been more like the PCE CD, just a drive with some RAM. The other stuff added is good and enabled a few games but wasn't used by msot games, couldn't do anything for colour and jsut made it more expensive really.
don't get me wrong i LOVE all your content you actually think about things critically as in putting in real thought. But this is just so awesome it would give your channel even more uniqueness. IM happy i subbed like 4 or 6 months ago. Love how opinionated you are and how objective your arguments are. This is by far the most entertaining thing on your channel. Im growing to like you as much as TB i think you are surpassing the quality of Gunns for hire. thank you for the awesome vids.
Damn this vid is almost 10 years old. That’s crazy !
This video is my childhood. I'm now 21.
Same but I’m 27 now
One of the best vids you've done. Besides dating nightmares
I love those days when you stumble into an awesome video.
Damn, great video!
That was awesome video Rich! And Its great to know you are a fan of SimCity, trust me its my favorite game of all time.
Dude, this video was so F-ing funny. Great story teller.
Your videos are interesting and they are fucking awesome. Keep up the good work.
Awesome video! We share pretty much the same experiences. It was such an exciting time for gaming and I will always cherish the memories I have.
you should make more vids like this i laughed hard going to watch pt2 right now
This video made me.subscribe.. you neeed to do another video like this dude, legit
Oh god you have to make more of these they are epic.
you are doing great job your video is so much fun!!! and nostalgic...
This is probably my favorite video you have ever done. Way better than avgn's.
Probably the funniest video i have seen in a while
your a genious man. love this video. keep them comming
I'm really surprised, not just a rant with COD gameplay footage. I didn't know you also did stuff like this. Awesome video.
I enjoyed this so much more than the video James did...good job Rick :)
3:27 hahahahaha, especially laughed at the use of the TPiR fail horns... :D
wow what a great story man! So glad you shared it! Fond memories of the early 90s.... what a wonderful time that was. PS: about you being jealous of the kid getting the gameboy, totally been there hahaha
Laugh out loud funny. Need part 2 now.
Can't wait for Part 2. I'm sure most either knew or knew of "that kid down the street", like your friend Carl who had all the consoles. What was your reaction when he got a NEO-GEO?
Man that's so cool I wish I could get a game console the way you did
Great story cant wait for part 2
This video was so HILARIOUS! xD I wish I knew where my SNES and Genesis were so I could play them again.
I never got these systems when I was young. They were very outdated by the time I got them.
TO be honest this was more entertaining than AVGN's My Story video since he wasnt really as entertaining as you were since you were freakin hilarious and made your story more interesting lol i cant wait for part 2
That reenactment at 2:15 was funny as all hell, couldn't stop laughing xD
wonderful video bruh
Nice trip down memory lane man; very similar to my own experiences. I somehow never got Super Castlevania though despite having almost every other game in the series; I really need to pick that bad boy up!
4:12 The laughter somehow reminds me of Cleveland Brown from Family Guy. Great video, love your childhood story. Thanks for sharing. :)
this video aged really well. stil funny asf XD
Subscribed just to see the epic conclusion.
this video made me subscribe!
Excellent vid.
This video brings it all back, I pretty much WAS you rich back in the early 90's and everyone knew THAT kid that had all the new consoles and games hehe now my son gets to be THAT kid, awesome. Great video man, subscribed when I watched
the Christmas part was funny cant wait till part 2
Bro you have made a funny video, bring me some good memories.
This was hilarious, "...but then christmas came". I can't help it, that "graphics" voice makes me chuckle.
nice editing!
Still got my japanese Mega Drive, 25 years and still working. From that build quality I'd say it will easily work the next 25 years.
Back in the day I was with SEGA all the way, got the SNES years later. Looking back, it was ridiculous to fight over consoles - as it is now.
I was and still am a Super Nintendo fan, but I really like a lot of games on Genesis, especially Golden Axe and Strider. I do pay respect to both systems, but I criticize Nintendo more for what they did to both gamers and game developers alike.
Great video! Super Castlevania 4 and Streets of Rage 2 are my favorite 16bit games.
This video is amazing.
LOVED it !!
This is a great video, since you we're really exited with the Super Nintendo and got it after as a upgrade I'm assuming you like it more.
I laughed SO hard!! :DD This video is awesome! :D
Oh gawd. But yeah. I was a Sega fan boy back then and still am. Huge. I did play NES & SNES too but I never owned one.
Landstalker for the Genesis still the best game i've ever played.
i kind of miss my original red Gameboy, too.
The original Gameboy was gray, poser. *Puts on hipster glasses
mine was red.
Gameboy came out in gray only in 1989. The colored versions didn't come out till 1995. You didn't have close to the "original" gameboy.
I'm afraid I did.
If red gameboys didn't come out for 6 years after the original gray one how does that makes your red one an original? Not sure if troll or just stupid?
This video made me subscribe... so funny
Super Castlevania IV was the first game I played on the SNES, and I loved it; it is still one of my favorite games. My neighbor got an SNES in '92, so I went to the store to rent a game for it. Since it was still a fairly new system at the time, there weren't many games to rent, and Super Castlevania IV was the only one that looked interesting. That was at around 4 in the afternoon, and we stayed up playing it until past midnight. I crashed on his couch, and we continued the next morning where we'd left off. The rental had to be back to the store by 6 PM, and by around 5:30 we both kept getting beaten by Dracula. My neighbor thought it was time to give up and take the game back, but I said, "One more try", and that try was successful; beat the game and got it back to the store just in time to avoid a late fee.
Oh I just love these childhood stories
