Episode Notes:

1. I've covered many games in my 6 years on YouTube. These are some of my least favorites.

2. Many different capture sources here. Mostly Mega SG and real hardware.

3. Licensed games were often some of the worst. Especially when companies like Acclaim handled them.

4. Some of these opinions are clipped from older episodes.

5. I plan on a fresh part 2 with all new footage and commentary in the coming weeks pending the performance of this video.

"This game is shit from an ass, that died on the toilet!" - The Angry Sega Lord X

He's the angriest lord you've ever heard, he's the Angry Sega Lord X!

SLX's gonna take you back to the past...

As someone who is a huge fan of Retro Games this was an amazing video. I’ve unfortunately played some of these games & man do I regret it

[chichib]

All I have to say about back to the future is. What a shitload of fuck

[FallicIdol]

To be fair, the arcade for Double Dragon 3 was garbage. There was no way to make that decent

[ZoeyYasuda]

I played Tails' Skypatrol recently as part of the Sonic Origins Game Gear collection. I usually enjoy Game Gear games, but that one had me scratching my head. I did not even get past the training stage. Seeing some of the later levels, I am glad I just went and played Sonic for the Game Gear for the 1000th time.

If you thought Genesis Talespin was bad, wait till you see the Turbografx version.

[fan]

That's what I like. You hold nothing back.

You need to create a loop based on 2:27 - 2:37. That’s hilarious. We’ve all been there.

[RayPruitt-jijx]

Does Dark Castle belong on this list? You can answer that with an "aye" or a "neh-neh-neh-neh-neh!"

[joesshows]

23:05 I remember renting this game and calling the rental place to ask if I could return it for another and they did. It was so bad I didn’t want to get stuck with it all weekend!

[masterchief]

Sword of Sodan on the Genesis could be on this list. Maybe in your 2nd video, which I hope you make. I like this as a whole series because there are SO many turds to make content around.

Comparing that Joe Montana Sega CD game to John Madden Football '93 is quite a shock. JMF'93 is a masterpiece that I enjoy even today. JMF'92, too.

12:47 "It's like you touch the top of the building, you die, you touch the ceiling, you die, you touch the floor, you die, too far to the right, you die, too far to the left, you die, you die, you die, you die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, DIE!" - The Angry Video Game Nerd
(Tails copies Silver Surfer's Game Over pose)

[Turd_Ferguson]

Believe it or not, I have very fond memories of playing Joe Montana football on the Sega CD. Than again I have not played it in around 30 years

Fun video! I personally disagree about Tails Skypatrol, I actually have fun playing that one despite its high difficulty. The thing about the game is that you HAVE to know when to slow down and speed up Tails, just blindly trying to rush thru will get you pancaked over and over. Its quite trial and error heavy, and then theres the odd hit detection (Tails hitbox is a mere ONE pixel, so everything ELSE has a bigger hitbox to compensate). But once I got into the games flow I genuinely founf myself enjoying it. Personally, the main reason I like it is because its a very unique take on the Shoot Em Up/Rail Shooter.

That said, Im surprised you didnt include the truly awful Game Gear versions of Sonic Spinball and Sonic Blast. Spinball on GG is a complete and utter mess, its jerky framerate, ugly graphics and utterly broken controls/physics will give you a newfound appreciation for the Genesis version. And Sonic Blast on GG is a 2D Sonic game with all the fun and appeal sucked out: its awkward mix of pre-rendered graphics and 2D sprites are just plain tacky and downright dull looking (to quote another reviewer, Sonic looks like a microwaved Happy Meal toy in it!), and the gameplay just isn't fun, even though Sonic has a double jump in it. Its slow as molasses, clunky, almost entirely devoid of challenge (and when it DOES get challenging, like in the water level and the secret final boss, it dips right into complete and utter BS territory) and all around uninspired in every way. Not even being able to play as Knuckles can salvage it. You can tell it was thrown together in a hurry just to give the GG one last Sonic game as a quick sendoff. Both are solid contenders for the worst games in the Sonic series. Id honestly rather play Sonic 4 Episode 1 over those quill-covered turds--and dont even get me started on that one...

being about the same age, I can feel the decades of natural frustration of some these games you're describing.

Is this just a compilation of previous videos or does it contain new footage?
