Episode XXIV: Excerpts From Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection

Over the summer I spent some time playing through various games on the Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for the PS3. This is a great anthology of a lot of cool Genesis games, but also some that are not that good. This episode discusses some of them. There is not much about Phantasy Star or Shining Force because we will do full length episodes about those series in the future.

Games Discussed:

  • Alex Kidd

  • Alien Storm

  • Altered Beast

  • Columns

  • Shinobi III

  • Streets Of Rage

To further discuss these games, there is also some discussion of:

  • Ninja Gaiden

  • Tetris

  • Strider

The background music for this episode's mailbag is from Super Castlevania. The break music is from Shining Force II.

Episode XXII: Super Ghouls N Ghosts

On Christmas Day 1991 my focus was on Super Mario World, but my parents also got me Super Ghouls N Ghosts. I love this game and am so impressed with how well it has held up over the years.

The background music during the Tweets & Emails segment is from Earthbound.

NOTE: Whoops, around the 3:50 mark I meant to say Ghosts N Goblins, not Ghouls N Ghosts.

Episode XVIII: Metal Gear (NES)

Metal Gear was an "okay" game that frustrated me in many places. In 1989, I would have never believed it would become such a popular gaming franchise to this very day. Before we start: Just wanted to warn that there is some discussion of PTSD and domestic violence near the middle of this episode.
