The Genesis is such a great system . so many good games

Collecting old games in the early 2000s was awesome because people couldn't get rid of them fast enough. A couple of friends even gave me some of their NES and SNES games for free: "No idea what you're doing with those, I mean there is such a thing as PS2 out there, you know!" Even games that people had nostalgia for, you could still easily find for just a couple of bucks, because the demand wasn't there.

This, put simply, is Happy Console Gamer at its best as a show.  Fast-paced, full of fun and nostalgia and unlike anything else out there in the way it makes you recall your own memories and try some retro gems.  Love it!

The Blast Processing in this video is over 1000!

Appreciate the time you take to put the game footage in, it adds a LOT to the video

Genesis will always hold special place in my heart. It was the first console I bought with my own money. So many great gsmes on it.

Altered Beast was the first game I played in my life and I remember how wonderful moment was

"It's so funny Michael Jackson has passed away now..."

Wish I had all my Genesis games still but I gave my collection away to a needy kid down the street. At least they went to a good home to be enjoyed.

That's what retro gaming is all about: memories. It's not something to have on your shelf and brag about how much you paid for that, it's about the good times you had with it, with friends and family and with yourself, enjoying the game.

I was a Nintendo kid but whenever I got the chance to play some Genesis at a friend's house I was always happy. Now, I love my Mega Drive and I love collecting and playing games for it, but damn can it get expensive.

When you look at the way classic gaming and collecting is going this channel is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for actually opening and playing your games and also for not hording a bunch of games that you do not even like.

Out of all the collectors out there, I think you and iretrogamer have the most meaningful ones. It's one thing to have everything, but you both have something very special.

Your making me want to buy a Genesis again. Great memories.

one good thing growing up in the hood.
we had every single sega mastersystem game that came out.
all of them. we might of had 1000 or more games.

I love it when you talk about the Genesis. Can't wait for part 2.

There's so many amazing Genesis games you need to play if you haven't already. One's I don't see are Contra: Hard Corps, Rocket Knight Adventures, Splatterhouse 2 & 3, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Gunstar Heroes, Ecco the Dolphin 1 & 2(this may be debatable if it's good), Ristar, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, Dynamite Headdy, Vectorman 1 & 2, Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Hidden Treasure, Castlevania: Bloodlines and so much more.

I never got a Genesis (I had a SNES), but I remember being so jealous of those game cases. I had to buy those plastic cases for my SNES games.

I see a Megadrive game still on the shelf just under Chrono Trigger.

Alot of great titles there Johnny, good to see Wonder Boy in Monster World and Streets of Rage series there too, those are among my childhood faves aswell, i did some longplays of those not too long ago.
