New Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Games | Nostalgia Nerd

Tanglewood is a new game for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, available on cartridge format. Coffee Crisis is also a recent game for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, available on cart. The two games are actually available on PC, via. Steam, for those who wish to play on a more contemporary platform. In this video, I look at both these games, and explore the experience of playing new games on retro systems. Where do these games fit? Do they spark that same nostalgic feel, that playing games we're familiar with might do? Therefore consider this a Tanglewood review & a Coffee Crisis review, with additional questions, musing & nostalgic feeling.

Honestly if companies re-released older consoles, I'd buy them so fast. So many games became classics on those consoles, and the love of them has only grown over time. Rather than just having Rom Boxes™, actual slightly updated versions of the old hardware would be so good.

Mega Drive can, in fact, run Crisis.

I picked up Coffee Crisis at TooManyGames this year, after having my eyes on it for a few months before that. I love seeing new games on old systems, and kudos to MegaCat in particular for releasing so many of exactly these games! They're awesome people, shout-out to them!

Personally I love the new Mega Drive releases just because it's interesting to see what people can do with the hardware.

Red Dwarfs Lister in the background. Nice to see you have great taste in TV shows as well as consoles and games!

Love the Red Dwarf in the background 😂😂

Great Video Nostalgia Nerd! I had no idea people were still making games for the system. The retro homebrew scene everywhere is just huge.These are great times.

So they made a game on the Mega Drive, then ported it to PC!? Madness! And then some other guys made a game about coffee on the Mega Drive, and then ported it to the PC and enhanced it!? Even more madness!

9:23 Coffee barristers? Didn't know coffee beans needed legal representation...

This is a very cool trend, but there is one thing to keep in mind: Sega carts with that little notch in them generally have pcb's thicker than original hardware. Over time, this can damage and wear out the connector in your console. Just make certain that the specs are right, or you'll be replacing parts or consoles before their time...

I played the Tanglewood demo and absolutely fell in love with that game, i can't wait for that cartridge to be released.

Peter, I can't thank you enough for introducing me to Tanglewood. I would've never heard of it if I wouldn't have watched this video. And I'm glad i watched it - as much as I've barely played the game, I love it to bits.

Still would like to see a developer spend some time on the instrument tuning and actually push the sound chips to their full potential...

[nicolesproducerpack]

Makes me want to buy the Mega Drive once again 😫😆🕹

My grandfather had a big chunk of land he sold, it got turned into a very housing-development like subdivision named "Tanglewood".

[johneygd]

Nothing can top off official released games from the past, but i do like those transparrant colored cartrides of it.

[wojiaobill]

that's a pretty good way of explaining these new games dude

Tanglewood in many ways resembles the 1996 unreleased c64 preview of Fox. On the subject of new games on old hardware, I find it falls into the wonderful oddity category- much like someone recording an album on really old audio formats. No big business being involved adds to that artistic factor, and feels a bit like a small boutique brewery.

New games on retro platforms is an interesting phenom, and it's one I kinda like. Yeah, digging out the old systems (or a clone) is a bit of a pain, but at the same time, these are great platforms for indie developers, since they don't need to worry licensing anymore and you have a built-in audience of older gamers who won't shit on a game just because it doesn't have the BEST GRAPHICS EVAR!

I expect some interesting things to happen in the future with the N64, and really hope we see a way to run these kinda games on the PS1 and Saturn without mods.

I recall the first time I saw a Megadrive EA cartridge with the yellow tab on, I was awestruck as the legendary John Madden appeared on my Telly, the 49ers were the team to beat back then and the world made sense, Men were Men, Women were Women(and happy) and England had a soul.
