Awesome games

agreed.

The best in my opinion. Comix Zone comes close with the wow factor

Yeah, Comix Zone was another one released same year as this. Games that came out near the end of a system's game releasing life are often some of the best looking games to come out.

The lost world has the best graphics imo

It is included on the Sega Genesis mini console still available at Walmart, and yes it's still a great game.

You can play it on PS4 with the Sega collection. I loved it too.

So did I, took me quite some time to track it down again as I never knew the name. I grew up just wondering about this game, it was magic then, still is.

My favorite sega genesis game! I love beyond oasis

no one aske kid

@@internet2055 the fuck lol???

I wouldn't say it's under rated so much.. it has a cult following.

Bigjoe980's game corner If it has a cult following, it tends to be underrated. : )

Yeah, this is another classic Genesis game, that has been ignored by the bias bullshit Snes-empire here on the internet. Along with the Shining Force games (and many others), they are gems like this one that apparently no one knows about, and receive very little attention. Luckily Snesdrunk is no fanboy, he clearly loves the Super Nintendo, but he still gives its rival its deserved due. Virtually none of the big gaming channels give the Genesis any of the love it rightfully deserves. And are pitifully ignorant when it comes to its hardware prowess. In other words, if it's not Sonic, then assume no one's heard of it.

Totally agree the Nintendo and SNES bias that still exists even today is ridiculous. The Genesis had one of the greatest back catalogues of any console but gaming sites don't acknowledge it. Ther's a lot of overlooked/underrated gems on the Genesis; If you like arcade adventures like this then Crusader of the Centy (also known as Soleil) is another you should look up.

Downright genre bias, Nintendo bias from the influence and success of the NES and Sega's 90's failures and eventual fallout are huge reasons why^^. American's have a pre-condition to embrace anything that resembles "freedom and exploration", because of our history (fighting to become an independent nation and venturing westward exploring territory etc). Hence why the tedious (imho) open world genre is so widely acclaimed and overdone today, while shmups have always been pretty much dead in the west no matter their quality level (TFIV) but flourish in the east, and why the word "linear" has become an evil word for video games. This kind of game is exactly what the Snes did with Super M, LTTP, SMW, Earthbound, FFVI etc, slow-paced non-arcade style adventures. Nothing is wrong with this or these classic games, just stating facts. The Gen however, generally does the opposite, delivering a more hardcore, challenging, faster paced and sometimes a more technical arcade oriented experience (Alien Soldier, Shinobi 3 examples). The bias exists because Americans regard open world/rpg games as "superior" to arcade classics. So LTTP is "better" by default than a beat em up classic like SOR2 just because it's an open world game...and that logic is utter garbage. Both games are masterpieces in their respective genres but the "linear" arcade game will never be considered as good to mainstream eyes. We just can't accept the subjective gap between rpg-type gamers and arcade gamers, we're different breeds, I could never play through LTTP/SM again without experiencing significant boredom (beat them 3 times each) but I've beaten SOR2 40+ times with or without friends and counting...its fighting system is timelessly enjoyable and fantastic. It can't be denied though, that Sega no longer existing as a respected console manufacturer has alot to do with the ignored reception of the Genesis; as the decisions they made during the 90's damaged the brand and reputation forever, and today the Genesis is suffering the most from it. It's really unfortunate (sry for long post)

JT While Beyond Oasis is a Genesis/Mega Drive game, it’s prequel Legend of Oasis is a Saturn exclusive. Just to point that out. Also, Yuzo Koshiro composed the soundtrack for Beyond Oasis, Revenge of Shinobi, the Streets of Rage games, etc. The dude’s awesome!

Yep, it's all about how the colors are used. Not everyone was up to the task.

@@PlumbDrumb The genesis had a shadow and highlight mode that bought it closer to SNES when it came to color palette.

Shining Force 2

@@willzayas3239 That's somewhat true... however, that's just for simultaneous on-screen colors. The SNES had 64 times as many colors TOTAL to choose from over the Genesis.

Snatcher on Sega cd was best example imo of how they fully utilized the megadrive color pallette

I agree it's fantastic. Not as good as link to the past but almost

@@miamimagicians Very confusing too

@@miamimagicians Nintendo fans all these years later still cant admit when Sega has a better game! link is pre school compared to this.

To be fair this came out 3 years after snes Zelda

@@miamimagicians Absolutely some Genesis games have an advantage of later release dates or bigger rom sizes compared to their SNES counterparts, but that generally is a SNES advantage being released later and supported another 1-2 years after Genesis. Bloodlines and Hardcorps fall into that category aswell released 2-3 years after their SNES counterparts (Castlevania IV and Contra III) and to me are better games. Bloodlines despite being released about 3 years after Castlevania IV was still only allocated the same 8-Mb rom as it's counterpart. So it didn't have any memory advantage.

Thank you for watching

Add Alundra if we ever get PSDrunk

Yes, absolutely! Fantastic game.

Add Dark Savior if we ever get SaturnDrunk!

Please tell me you discovered and enjoyed Crusader of Centy as well!

Eh, that "ultimate" collection leaves out alot of great titles on the system. It's decent but definitely not comprehensive. Don't limit your Genesis playing to just what's there on that disc.

Oh, that definitely won't be the extent of my Genesis library, I did manage to snag a real Genesis, but the collection still has some excellent games

Niice, I did too, as of March of last year, I recommend a Model 1 High Def graphics model, it has the best quality sound board inside. Have fun playing Genesis dude, amazing arcade console. Classic Game Room is great for game reviews, Gamefaqs and retrosanctuary.com are perfect for finding the best games. Have fun!

Wait...So you're telling me the same guys developed Landstalker, Beyond Oasis and then did Alundra? This guys were the real deal, pulling some Zelda-likes better than some concurrent Zeldas of the time. Incredible developers. I've played the 3 games mentioned and I never knew the guys from Beyond Oasis are the same as the LS/Alundra guys..

Sorry, Ancient wasn't involved with Alundra. That was Matrix Software, who split off from Climax Entertainment which was responsible for Landstalker. Ancient's known for Streets of Rage, Shenmue, and they co-oped with Quintet on the second Actraiser and Robotrek.

Thanks for clarifying.

Only in one dungeon because of the moving platforms over pits. They are easy, but they slow down the game's pace and I am a hell of an impatient dude, so I constantly fall down. :D Stuff like that is brutally time consuming. Besides that, not a single save state was used.

That was always my issue with this game, though I liked it in spite of that. When you're using a sword, the game is just great. Too bad you use the knife for 90% of the game.

Lol! How much did you pay for it? Hopefully you got it on Steam or something. Drunken ebay shopping is dangerous, I know!

Don't, Legend of Oasis is a downgrade in all departments compared to Beyond Oasis. Especially since you had issues with the level design, you would hate the way Legend handles it over Beyond.
