In this episode: How the small studio Ancient was tasked with making the best fighter on the system. Also covered, the music of Streets of Rage 2 and the audio hardware inside the Mega-Drive.

This channel is one of the most underrated things ever.

[EmilianoFraga]

This documentary is a masterpiece.

It is a well done preservation of gaming history, and more than that, it was created with care and passion of a true gamer.

Congratulations.

Soundtrack is by far one of the best in the gaming industry.

Streets of Rage 2 is probably the most iconic game of my childhood. Thank you so much for this documentary. ❤️

"The impact, or hit sound effect, is important to convey the strength and feel of a blow." Hear that SOR 4? Take note!

It is amazing how much care and work went into SOR2. Nearly 30 years later, and it still revered and loved by many.

This channel is just beyond epic. Streets of Rage II is not only the best beat-em-up on the Mega Drive, but also just happens to be one of the best beat-em-ups of all time. Oh and it's also one of the best sequels of all time. Did I mention that I love this game and have done since childhood? Yeah, that too.

Best game documentaries ever made hands down

I'm more excited to see these than the PS5 honestly
🤙🤙🤙

I remember the day when my bro and I got home from school and my dad said "I have a surprise for you." There it was... the sega genesis with streets of rage 2.
No words could ever express how we felt.
Just cranking up the volume and playing with all its blast processing was all we needed. 🙂

[Katelynnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

I didn’t even realize you hit 100k keep up the good work you deserve it!

[shinkazama]

Even nearly 28 years later this is still the BEST Beat em up ever made, heck it's still 1 of the best Video Games ever made & it still holds up / plays, looks & sounds amazing even today! Awesome video mate. :)

[DUHRIZEO]

You are now officially the first person I've ever supported through Patreon. So much of my in depth knowledge on the history of these games has come from watching this channel. Thank you so much for all the hard work and incredibly entertaining way you present it!

[Wza]

Yes!! More content on the greatest game of all time. This is going to be epic!

[Arodriguez_zeugirdorA]

I used to play this with my mother for hours. I'm 39 and this took me back to being 11 years old.

[petirgarda]

Hands down, your channel is THE MOST worthwhile channel i ever subscribed to. Everything is just pure 80s nostalgia and epicness. LOVE IT.

[RetroGamePlayers]

One of my all time favorite games AND soundtracks. I had no idea Yuzo had that much creative input. I'm even more in awe of that guy.

[nimazsheik]

Whoever is behind this channel, you are awesome. I've been coming here for years now and the content you provide is always high quality. You also stick to that retro aesthetic which ties so beautifully to your content. You deserve more subscribers and views and I hope someday you get it, until then I'll keep sharing your content.

[PeterLawrenceYT]

What a treat! Looking forward to watching this. Your high profile TV quality production never disappoints.

[ACLMSC]

Uhhh... This was awesome. You can feel the love in the music. I used to connect the Genesis to my stereo system to listen to and play both SOR 1 and 2. We would play SOR 2 endlessly... Outstanding documentary.

[Thrashman]

How does this not have 100K views? The graphic work, the editing, the voice over, the script writing, the asset use, the knowledge... This is all top tier. Easiest subscribe I've done in months. Please, keep up the top notch work.
