We didn't have a lot of games growing up and would often have to share or rather borrow games from neighbors. This was one of them, and I used to play the hell out it just for the simple reason it was something different to play. I know it isn't a great game, but it did it's job in changing up the routine in life, and that is why it is so special to me.

Came here for one reason alone: *Valgasu.* His name remains in memory as one of the few video game bosses that gave me *LOTS* of trouble in my youth, until I finally managed to thrash him after several tries. I may have forgotten this game's name, but I definitely remember that boss.

Huge fan of this growing up. Lots of memories of playing this with my next door neighbors. Fun times.

All of a sudden had this game pop in my head. Had no clue what it was called so I vigoursly googled sega games until a cover looked familiar. Wow this music takes me back! 35 years old and I feeling like a kid again.

I asked to my father to buy a Fighting game for my genesis when he got to the capital city. I was expecting a Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter game. When he came back and show me this game (the seller recommended that as a good fighter (bastard!) ) and i play it, i get totally disappointed. Asked my father to get a refund or something but he cant do nothing because the store were in another city. So, i calm down and play it again. Even being bad, I had some good times playing it alone and with my neighbor. Some good ol memories.

This game was the first fighting game i played. All kids around the genesis, doing their best to win in heated fights! Great times!

Joguei muito nos anos 90..... uma revoluçâo nos fight games. O aúdio um show a parte.

Giant Piledrivers: The Game

YES GOOGLE HELPED ME REMEMBER THE TITLE!! so much nostalgia for this right now omg. Couldn't remember the name but remembered the weird character fighters! I seem to be leaking from the eyes....

My friend Aaron and I used to play this a ton as kids. :) I ended up enjoying using "Rotundo" the most, because I sort of... discovered/created this weird move that we deemed "The Jelly Hand Slap", which basically broke the game in a fairly hilarious manner... It entailed crouching and holding forward (right or left, depending)... and finger-twitching the attack button VERY quickly. I don't recall if I was using jump and then also using crouch and attack to cancel the jump, but... Rotundo would... do super tiny "jelly hops" very quickly across the ground toward the opponent, and if you connected--it seemed unbeatable. After stunning whoever or whatever my opponent was... it was grab/clutch... body press... throw (hopefully into a wall)... and his amount of damage was already bloody high. My friends HATED when I played as Rotundo, and finally forbade me from choosing him, lol! :) We couldn't get the glitch/move to work with any other character. No idea why.

A big cheer to all of you who lived through those times and survived. Good memories, nostalgia really paints a better picture of this game, back in the day it was decent and you could have a limited amount of fun with it, but it was real garbage compared to SF2, the father of them all (and still is). A cheer to younger kids looking into this gem of sorts, too! This comment section is really golden. I salute you!

I remember this game rather well. Key note is that damage is only received when the character glows gold. Dirk was actually one of the most broken of the characters as if you did the suplex by the side of the screen, you could net multiple hits on your opponent on high damage. Another fun fact is that there were two versions of this game. one was legit, one was not. This is the non legit version. The only difference is actually the story. Obviously the image show some sort of overlord conquering races, not a red sun going nova, and this tournament was about finding the best warrior candidate to send after this overlord and stop his spree of destruction. I also only just realized that Dirk must be related to the Kinnikuman bloodline as he can perform the Kinniku driver with incredible skill.

0:56 THRASH METAL!! \m/

loved that game as a kid. Its very very simple, but one of the very few fighting games on genesis that I had pure fun playing

Demorei anos pra encontrar esse jogo. Via meu irmão mais velho jogar e sempre que procurava não achava. Vou até gravar uma gameplay e mandar pra ele. Pura nostalgia. Hugs from Brazil.

I remember this one! One of my first Genesis games!

if anything: That amazing Sega music

You expected a random plant monster, *but it was me, D I O!*

Oh my god. I completely forgot about this game. Thanks for uploading.

You thought it was DIO, but wait it was OOOH.. ME DIO !!!

Dirk? He is called Larry in the version i played... great game, love it!

I remember playing this with my older bro and him whipping my butt. I also remember crying and my parents telling him to basically let me win. LOL. Good times

Thanks for uploading this game

This is the first game I played in my Mega Drive when I was 9 YO only. I had Street Fighter in my mind, so it paled in comparison, at least in the beginning. Now I'm missing those days, had lots of fun with it.

The only way to save my world and its people; is through good old fashioned wrastlin'...

This is the game that made me love grapplers. Thanks for sharing I couldn't remember what this game was called.

This is what we had on our Sega Genesis (we called it Mega Drive here in Brazil ) before the Street Fighter II ports... I have fond memories of this horribly awesome game... So janky... So ugly... So good...

Cool soundtrack.

man, the jungle beat so awesome! I remember the music so badass. Remember playing this and only my brother could beat the boss with the bird and that was it. Remember this being so hard

ONE OF THE GREAT SEGA GENESIS CLASSICS!!! ...and one of my repertoire titles 😉✌💯

So nostalgic. I love the characters.

Mi niñez resumida en un videojuego Sega Genesis 🖤

I played this game a lot when i was a kid

Is it just me, or does the between-rounds music sound like it was cribbed from Golden Axe?

Wow my nostalgic game

i guess they named several characters differently for international sales.. i remember the blonde guy is larry, the clawed robot is beowulf

Don't care what anyone says as a kid the multiplayer was lit with some friends.

6:29 my favorite character was always Grinder cause his break dance moves are so good 23:30 hah Look at that! Grinder is on the credit roll

When i was young this is my first fight game with my first console,always play this game with my brother,he always play dio 🤣 and hate goldrock so much,ahhh sweet memories Anyway i play the other region version So the story line and name of character is different

Also, I don't recall that Beowulf dance at the credits.

I remember my brother using Grinder so often.

Looks fine.

12 playable fighters in a 4 megabit cartridge!

Love this game so much

I spent hours looking at the beginning graphic to see if I could find every fighter in the picture. I thought maybe the guy he was stepping on was going to be a hidden character. Love this game!

I amaizing with this game only 4 megabytes to make a Fighting game with all that numbers of players characters!!!...

font reminds me of master system, bringing back memories even before megadrive, but i bet this must have been an earlier megadrive game.

Loved this game

This game has TRECO written all over it

here's my idea for a less scary plot: "since ancient times, the realms of the world competed in a tournament known as the inter-realm fighting tournament, where one fighter from each realm fought their way to the top to decide which was the strongest of all. However, conflict slowly began rise, with some fighters being accused of cheating, and others accused of being treated unfairly. the tensions got so high, that the tournament was eventually shut down to prevent disaster. Now, the evil lord Valgasu has re-opened the tournament, claiming it to be to reunite all the realms, but really, it's so he can take over them all. will Valgasu's plan work, or will someone be able to stop him before it's to late?"

Thanks for saving the human Race kind sir!!!

Zangief Simulator

This game should have been in the sega genesis classic collection game

Gorilla press jumping powerbombs. I'm in

Who was everyone’s favorite character

в целом игра бредовая!но играть не во что было...пришлось пол года играть в ЭТО! :) прикольно

Да))))) как Давно это было🤔

Interesting, how did they make that KO noise effect

Whats the point of saying these characters are 50+ feet tall and put them in arenas that make them look normal size?

They had different names in different versions. The fat blue guy was madussa in my copy. I hate how this game didnt have any guard option.

this game doesn't looks fun to play AT ALL and what the fuck is up with that bizarre robot dance at the credits?

Wtf i didnt remember this game only has 3 stages

reminds me of junior high, i punched my older brother in the face after loosing 2 rounds 😅

I can't remember this... genesis or japan only?

my 1st fucking catridge! FeelsRainMan

I only know about this game because of the Godly music! Other than that - this game is garbage, IMHO. I'm just glad to know the legit storyline is more stomachable - and more believable than a supernova engulfing everything. That's just BS!

Gdy pc będę miał to se cztery mody eMule zainstaluję: stullemule I Viper oraz mephisto & magic angel. Jeden do nabijania kredytów żmija a dwa pozostałe pod kad! Two big sloths!

while owners of the snes already played SF2, the owners of the genesis had to settle for this crap

This game was the shit

2:20 1 frame grabs, gotta love the garbage that can happen when doing this.

А у меня в игре на приставке, почему-то, этого голого чувака звали Larry.

Are these fighters giants? Dirk is 57ft in the stats.

That game was pretty lackluster.

LOL, The arena is silent, it's on the moon, lol.

I was cheesing my friend with Phoenix 😭

Rotundo for the win

With Atari sounds xd

Before Rugal, this sucker was the most cheater boss ever!

57ft...ooh well here I am with my only 6,1ft :(

Grinder 😎

How to play in mob??

SNES Drunk sent me here.

I played it on pep III

Yeah, Rotundo was eventually the best guy, he had alit of moves.

SUPLEX the videogame

DB Super plot 😂

12:44

TRECO

Dio? So the plant can stop time?

Worst game ever ,I buy it ,but bored in 2 minutes 😬😬😬 in 2002

I remember asking my dad to rent this game. This game was by far the strangest experience I have ever had. It was so bad, but I played it anyway cause I didnt want to waist my dads money. It felt like a bad dream once it was gone. Im sorry to have waisted your $4 Poppadop. This game was ass.
