Obscure MegaDrive/Genesis Games You Probably Haven't Played

The Sega MDG (MegaDrive/Genesis) had a huge library of video games, many of which were exclusive to various territories. While most MDG games are familiar with the more popular titles (like the Sonic games, Gunstar Heroes, etc) - there were hundreds that were mostly ignored at the time.
Maybe it was because they had little-to-no-marketing budget; or maybe they were licensed games of questionable quality; or maybe people just couldn't figure out what the cover art was supposed to be about; in this video, we examine 105 of these titles.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A "HIDDEN GEMS" VIDEO!
While some of the games shown here are decent - there are some games of very dubious playability. Proceed with caution before seeking them out on Ebay...
If you were like me, you probably walked past many of these titles while perusing the shelves of a local video rental store - but were always just a littttle curious as to what some of them were like...
And for our patreon subscribers, here's the usual Steam Key!

Anyone that like turrican I highly recommend Universal Soldier. It’s basically a reskinned turrican with a few level changes. Great game!

Thanks for the patreon Steamkey Gary! From 2020, it's 2D platformer EVAN'S REMAINS. Looks super-chill, and has a very distinctive art-style. I heard good things when this game came out. Cheers!

Good Stuff. I got like 28 of these, many on Multicarts, and many were good. The Feng Shin Ying one was released and fully Translated by Piko Interactive and I did buy a copy. I plan to get to it but have a few other games I wanna get through 1st. I never actually saw footage of a lot of these games and just saw the name on lists of Sega Games. Thanks for this one. And Yang Warrior Family is also Translated by Piko and isn't the number 1 best, but isn't awful once you get the hang of it. I wrote a text review of it on my Blog a while ago.

Y'know, I've looking for a certain game. Actually you play as a caveman with... a flail at start, and you only have ONE life in order to complete the whole game (which we could call it a metroidvania) in a magic land filled with magic and monsters. The HUD has your life gauge in a bottle in a corner and your inventory is shown too. I know Megadrive isn't the only platform where it was released. But can't remind further info

Great video, BUT the tag with the name of the game stands in the way and occludes vision. Id suggest a smaller one, all the way down, if not completely out of the view.

I'd swear I vaguely remember a game magazine, reviewing that Sumo game back in the day. I presume they looked at it, as a curiosity that would get some attention and fill a page of the magazine, with little effort. Plus they probably got to throw in some barely funny fat jokes.

Surprisingly. sumo wrestling games aren't completely unpopular in Japan. Over on the SNES there were at least 3 different sumo wrestling games that I've come across. However, much like the one pictured in this video, they were never exported to the West...

I have Puzzle & Action Tanto-R. It's a decent proto-WarioWare party game, tho the sequels are definitely better (Puzzle & Action Treasure Hunt on Saturn is a favorite)
