The Sega Genesis probably has more hidden gems than any other system. The library is definitely overlooked by many gamers and collectors.

The answer to underrated Genesis games is always General Chaos. Me and my friends used to play it for hours, and it still holds up pretty well.

I wouldn't say "Motley Crue was added at the last minute", the game was called Twisted Flipper when I first got on it, halfway through development, then we secured the license and cooperation of Crue, but thanks for the coverage of Crue Ball (and laterally Subterrania and Blades of Vengeance). Those were fun times, back in the early Genesis days.

John is always so jolly and knowledgable about the games he owns, which is friggin awesome.

[ThinkBeforeYouSleepYT]

Holy crap! I think this is the first time I have seen John Hancock without his hat on. I didn't recognize him.

[Ninjamohawk]

Monster World IV, Zero Wing, El Viento, Rockman Megaworld, The Steel Empire, Twinkle Tale, Wiz n Liz, oh man the list goes on and on

[chrispacheco]

Wardner is an absolute hidden gem, I use to love this in arcades, and prior to being able to emulate it on MAME for many years I was so appreciative for the Sega Genesis port for letting me have this at home.

If I was John Hancock... I'd die a happy man. Because I wouldn't die. I'd be immortal

[RGT]

Gotta have Haunted: Starring Polterguy in the next one for sure. Great vid guys.

What Sega Genesis / MegaDrive hidden gems should be in parts 2 & 3?

[newfriikki]

Not too expensive, well they will be after this video.

[Old_Man_Jay]

Man, I can't believe he showcased Mazin Saga Mutant Fighter. Bought back so many memories. I played the hell out of that game as a kid and learned how to easily destroy every boss. I tried to play it again recently and man, that shit is so fucking hard!

[TheChaosDragoness]

Dude, I remember I had Blades of Vengeance when I was a kid and I loved it! Thanks for bringing that back to my mind X3

[Centerstrain]

Brings me way back to my past I grew up with the best generation of consoles!

Anyone playing Atomic Runner should go into the options screen and change the controls to:
A: shoot left
B: jump
C: shoot right
The standard setup is too awkward.

[spunkylovechild]

Mazin Saga! I'm so glad somebody brought that game up.

[excalibur]

Blades of Vengeance was my absolute favourite game on the MegaDrive

[purpelfais]

Starflight is a great hidden gem for the genesis.
