Should we do Updated BUYING GUIDES for other classic systems? Which ones would you like to see?

[Thisischrisrao]

i thought something happened to john, and then i remembered he's immortal

[ShinryuZensen]

I think an update to older buying guides is a very good idea.
You could even expand them to include hardware mods.

[bpet]

As someone who originally found your channel through buying guides back in the day, I'd say they are so good they still hold up. However, seeing all the new info here I would like to see updated guides, especially if you can focus more on all the other hardware, mini consoles, and even unique controllers that each system had. Show what makes a system feel unique, and a lot of that is unique games and controllers.

An updated version of this series is super cool. I would love to see you do this with other systems as well

[James-gjrn]

HEY!!! Another buying guide again, this takes me back i used to love these, it's been a while since we've seen one, it's great to see them back and i hope to see more, Rock On Metal Jesus :)

[ivanvargas]

Awesome. Always wanted to see this guide from you. Cool to see John back.

[mohammadzwayne]

The smile that never leaves john’s face is a second to none, god bless you man

[IzzyMann]

how can you not love John? his genuine smile reminds me that life maybe hard right now, but it's gonna be ok!

[kitchycloser]

I met John at a convention in Pennsylvania. He fixed my copy of Quackshot on the Genesis. Super nice fella.

[krisfrederick]

I will never forget the Christmas when I got my Sega Genesis Fighting System with Streets of Rage 2. It does what Nintendon't.

[steveb]

Strider should be part of any collection, take that john!

[BrickMuffin]

Wrecked my back yesterday. Watching you guys share this awesome Sega goodness really helped me start my day. Thanks you guys

[broza]

I can tell John is a nice guy by the way he shake MJR's hand. He does that every time and I love to see it 😊

[WTBMrGrey]

I used to love playing Toejam and Earl on the Megadrive 😂

[gilbert]

The Genesis was the gift that kept on giving, I had so many attachments for that system, the CD, the 32X, the menacer, the arcadestick, which was perfect for street fighter Turbo.

[JuanDiaz-jorw]

Great video. I never get tired of these Genesis videos. Such a nostalgic feeling. I still have my Genesis, and now I'll get to share it with my baby when she grows up. With so many Sega Yutubers, im surprised sega has never thought about making a comeback.

Great memories about the Sega Channel it was $15 a month when i was in 7th grade.

[joshcharter]

I'd love to see some updated guides especially if John's involved! I love you guys and when you do things together I get those old cross-over vibes like when 2 franchises come together. You should do some kind of Metal Jesus Rocks Vs. The Immortal John Hamcock style thing where in the end you come to work together. Maybe throw Reggie in there. It'd be fantastic. 😊 You guys rock!!! Game on!!! ❤

Datel is from the UK. I remember seeing Pro Action Replay codes in magazines, but not ever seeing any commercials for them. It's interesting that Interact had licensed and rebranded them as GameSharks for the PS1, Saturn, N64, DC, PS2, and GC.

[robmason]

Absolutely love my genesis and collection. Got the tower of power also and can’t wait to see John review the 1991 line up for Sega games for the genesis. Awesome work guys
