🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Too bad waving it around didn't actually hit everyone perfectly and no bullet can ever hit you lol

Ha, good one👍

The only time Rambo stops shooting is to briefly drink some raw eggs. Actually, he can do that with his spare hand :P

Hahahaha! Like hot shots part deux

I never knew my dad, I hope you cherish those memories

@@darkchild130 I'm sorry to hear that. :( I do cherish all of the memories of my father. (And the rest of my family) It's always nice to think back to the days of being a kid, everything was always so magical.

Sorry that your dad is gone. These memories that you have will last forever.

@@darklordojeda Thanks, man. Yes, I think back to those wonderful years very often. Seeing videos like this always bring me back to those days, hanging out in the living room with my Dad. The games that always pop up in my head are Rambo 3, Last Battle (Hokuto no Ken), and streets of rage.

Sorry to hear about your Dad. My favorite game on the Sega Genesis is Rambo III.

Can't beat the old days. I still play mega drive game's to this very day. Today's games are good but so violent and dark. I remember playing walking dead the point and click adventure. I tell u I was emotionally and physically exhausted. How many old school games made us feel that way!?

Same here dude

The opening part with the parallax scrolling, and the searchlight from the helicopter, looked mindblowing in 1989/1990, when I first saw it, and the boss battles looked spectacular as well.

@@mickmook1317 there are loads of great indie retro games these days

@@necrosadotor yeah I know.

how long did it take your friend in the U.K. to buy, get, purchase a MD via Japan import? were the MD games better made (quality)? was the advantage the friend got the MD games 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 months sooner? was the disadvantage the MD games were written in Japanese?

@@jasonlee7816 first question can't answer. It was over 30 year ago and I can't ask him as he died of a heroin overdose in 1999. Games were all in Japanese mainly. Carts were different shape but he sold me twin cobra women's wrestling and a aleste musha to feed his habit. All I had to do was remove the plastic shell of the cart so it was a circuit board and it played on my slow 50hz uk mega drive. His dad got it I believe, but of a strange family. Weren't amazingly well off and ran a little tuk-shop. Also after his initial run of games I don't think any new ones were bought. He never took care of things and I remember seeing the megadrive years later in a sorry state where you needed a spoon to push the power on... Its a tragic tale of addiction and loss in that family. The sister died a year earlier in the 90s and was due to be an up and comin pop star but had a random brain hemorrhage aged 25....

Yeah, unless you had every single issue of a mega drive magazine, you would miss tons and tons of great games simply because you didn't know they even existed. Even _WITH_ the magazines you'd still miss a lot of them. We all make fun of the "HIDDEN GEM!!!“ type videos on KZfaq. But they are very necessary. And it's great that unknown great games are becoming popular finally, cos of these videos, even if they only got popular 30 years too late, but oh well. Most of my favourite mega drive games these days are ones I never even heard of back in the day in the early 90s. Like Dynamite Heddy, one of the best mega drive games, period. But I don't think I ever saw it anywhere, in any shop, or available to rent in any blockbusters. I probably did see it, and just didn't like the look of it or something. I wish I could go back in time and give my younger self a list of all these great games, so I could play them throughout my childhood, because having games as a kid is different from having them as an adult, and especially back then we'd get only 2 new games a year, one at Xmas and one for your birthday. So we never had many games, and that meant we had to play the games we _did_ have to death. You'd get really good at them, playing them and dying every time for month after month after month until you can get through it all without dying. I don't have that kind of dedication and focus anymore, I don't want to have to spend months of practice just to be able to see the whole game of something like contra hard corps. Not to mention you have much much less spare time as an adult. So these days I use save states. But back then, there were no save states, you had to beat the game fair and square, unless there were certain cheat codes, but with no widespread Internet available back then, you had to get lucky that you could find the cheat codes in a magazine or something, cos if not then you'd probably have no way of learning them except maybe from other kids at school who had the same game and had a magazine with the cheat codes in. You couldn't really just fire up your computer and Google for codes, because Google didn't exist, most search engines didn't exist, most websites were just forums at that time, there were few if any repositories of cheat codes for games like a sort of GameFAQs website. So you'd have to ask on these forums and hope someone knows the cheat codes. Kids of today have no idea what it's like to live in a world without the Internet, because they never had that chance to live that way. I'm so so glad the Internet does exist nowadays though, so we can easily find the best unknown games for consoles by just googling for it

These are the best comments. Ones we can learn something from. Thanks for the pop culture reference reference (is that correct grammar? :P)

@@phattjohnson Naturally the game footage shown was one of the impressive looking boss fights.

And what’s interesting - when it cuts back to show the gameplay in the film, it’s the 8-bit Rambo for NES.

Memory costed a lot back then The limitations on snes and genesis was due to cost of memory.

@@gjergjaurelius9798gradually over time the cost was less then more megabits (memory) was used in the MD / SNES cartridge games

Cool uncle. Kind of a visionary at the time, video games were largely considered children's toys back then.

Sorry for the loss of your father brother. John's speech at the end of First Blood is what I show people when they incorrectly say Stallone "can't act".

@@MrSez1979 Even a broken clock strikes right twice a day. That being said, Rambo is pretty much the perfect role for him. And even if he can't act that well in general... I do enjoy quite a few Stallone movies. Same for many other classic action stars. The newer ones we have these days simply don't leave quite as much impact.

@@thenonexistinghero I agree completely. The stars today pale in comparison to the action heros of yesterday. Like you said, "less of an impact"... Quite LITERALLY! 👊👊

Yes it was the perfect rental game since it's so sweet and short!

underrated because?

@@jasonlee7816 Because of the simple but engaging gameplay that is frowned upon by Sega fans. It's essentially an arcade style top down gun shooter. The game isn't perfect by any stretch. Two player coop would have been ideal. The music is great, better than a lot of mainstream Genesis/MD games. Not for everyone but great in it's own right.

Except the Mujahideen turned on the US big time...

Yeah same lol. Not as much fun in real life

I've watches it half a dozen times at least over the past month.(more sadly)

I would have played Thunder Force II not long after I got my Genesis but I was never any good at it. The overhead stages crushed my will to play it. Swords of Vermillion came through my buddy Chris but I never owned it myself back then. I borrowed it a bunch trying to beat it but it's a hard game and I don't think I ever did.

@@SegaLordX I still haven't beaten Thunder Force II but I still love popping it in and playing for 20 mins. Thanks for sharing, my lord.

Sega was actually notorious for churning out games like that. Small teams, low budgets, and killer deadlines. Sega didn't have the 3rd party support to fall back on so they had to rely literally on the sweat shop mentality to create software.
