We don't need no more Genesis Collections, We need a SEGA Arcade Collection on PS4, XBO and PC. (and we want ALL SEGA Arcade games 💪)

Definitely a frustrating mix of great games trying to run with one hand tied behind their backs. I wish the 32X had gotten more super scaler ports. What did come out on it tended to be great, like Space Harrier... Super Thunderblade on 32X might've been something to behold.

Back in 1990 having these games at home were nothing short of spectacular.

It is of course rather bizzare that Sega never bothered to port some of these to the MegaCD , the scaling hardware would have helped the games look and feel a little more like the arcade. I do wonder why Power Drift never made it to the Mega Drive.

im never surprised by how versatile that little Motorola 68000 chip was... so many video game machines used it, and did great things with it

Super Hang On looks nice on an overclocked console; I don't know about the others though.

Sega or not, the two best looking sprite scaled games I've ever played are Galaxy Force II and Mad Panic Coaster. They look SO fucking good.

When I was in Jr High 1990, I used to go to an arcade called PGN. They had GALAXY FORCE II in it's full rotating sit-down cabinet. I used to bring a set of headphones in and play GF2 all day long. There was nothing like it like any other game I've played before. Outrun, and Space Harrier were good, but GF2 really solidified SEGA as a memory in my mind. There was nothing like seeing and sitting down in a full-size cabinet. I must have spent well over $100 in tokens playing these games. Eventually I got a job at that arcade, and I was able to play it almost every day. It felt like i owned it at times. Later on when the Genesis port came out, I was just as disappointed in the quality of the release, but I played it anyway. It was the closest thing we had at the time in the home. Lots of the arcade ports felt watered down, but in the end, the game was STILL there. Us 90s kids just kinda dealt with what we had. Once again, AMAZING CONTENT! Keep up the great videos!

I even find the Master System version of After Burner quite impressive.

SEGA should bring some of these arcade games to the Switch. Lets go SEGA!

When I played Outrunners on the Genesis, I actually thought it was a pretty good game and my friends were there to play two players with at the time so I had a pretty good time. It wasn't until later I found out about the Arcade title and seeing it now, I have to liken it to me first playing TMNT Arcade versus the first TMNT game I owned on the Nintendo. That game never looked the same after lol.

I'd like to file a complaint? Yeah, I was getting ready for work and Sega Lord X uploaded a video, giving me no choice but to stay and watch it...😁

Why the Genesis didn't come with scaling and rotation technology was beyond me. This is what I wanted most. I remember someone telling me, via KZfaq, that Sega initially wanted to do this, however, that meant the couldn't include the Z-80 processor into their home system to play old Sega Master System games. It didn't make any sense, for me, simply because Sega was all about technology due to their arcade division.

I love your affection for all things Sega and I would so love to see Sega arcade collections release on X1, PS4 and Switch!

There's nothing better than a Sega Lord's video on the day of my birthday. Thanks, mate. Cheers.

Hey, great channel. I was fortunate to play a few of the megadrive (Genesis) game in my childhood. Never having arcades near where I lived I never realised how awesome they looked! Outrunners looks great

That Outrun music takes me back. The Master system port was good too. 👍

I’m glad I found your channel! Good stuff, subscribed.

Great comparison, love the side by side.

The only ones of these I enjoy are Super Hang On and Super Monaco GP. Love both of them to this day. Outrun seems good, but I never find it in the wild, and I have it on Saturn anyway. I'll agree with others, I am very disappointed that these didn't get ported to Sega CD , and more werent ported to 32X.

i loved out runners on genesis, when i was younger of course.

Again, well done! The crying shame that many people already mentioned is that Sega already had the hardware out in the market via the Sega CD and the 32X to make these games near perfect if not perfect ports. Again such a shame because to this day, many of these games have never seen a proper port.

Really enjoy your work, SLX. I'm from the same era but didn't grow up playing Sega games/consoles at the time. So your careful combing through the Sega library has opened me up to a lot of new games, and it's a lot of fun. Cheers

Dude, I really dig your writing, but I don't think it would be near as awesome if anyone else was reading your scripts. Something about your cadences, and how you annunciation your sentences, makes your praises very convincing, and your rants genuine and HILARIOUS!

This episode has some of the best games to ever come to the Sega Genesis. Let's now forget about the music too classic tunes.

Ambitious efforts, but MAN the level of cutbacks can be just... so huge. Great video dude!

I will never forget being let down by Afterburner. The image on the back of the Sega Genesis box showing all there upcoming games was from the arcade and I thought that was the quality I was going to get when I bought the game. It still was a great game but Sega led me to believe I was going to get the graphics I saw in that teaser image.

I absolutely loved Space Harrier 2. I wasn't comparing it to the arcade game but even so, I had fun with that one. I enjoyed Super Hang -On as well. Thanks for posting. I miss Sega consoles!

So wish the Genesis /megadrive had scaling abilities .... i know the reasons why but regardless - just imagine the opportunities!

Whoa, youre mad SLX, spoiling us with all these frequent videos! Cheers

I Love your vids! They make me go back in time for good!

Love your videos! So well put together.

Cool video!! Love the side by side with the arcade! Well done!

Objectively I can see how Gloc was not the best it could be. However 8year old me was overtly thrilled by this game and could play it for hours, airplanes misses and guns,, in an extremely simple package, what more could one ask for?(another awesome vid btw)

I have an OutRun full size upright arcade cabinet in my basement. It still blows me away today how much fun it is to play and how incredible the graphics/scaling technology works. A 1986 game can, in some ways, outperform some of the newer software like the NeoGeo. The Neo could not do the scaling as well as the Sega’s software. Amazing.

I love waking up to a new segalordx video.

This was a great video and subject to cover.

I was a huge fan of both Turbo Out Run and the Genesis. I wasn't even aware there was this port. From what you showed, I didn't miss much, lol

Tough ports back then... the arcade games looked so incredible and far ahead of their time, and then you get home and....not so much. Interesting video thank you SLX

Honourable mention: The special stages from Sonic 3.

I used to play the hell out of space harrier on the 32X.

Cool episode. How about the Master System versions next?

As I recall, both Turbo Outrun and Outrunners were ported by Tiertex. That says it all.

Keep up the good work mate, I love watching your videos as it takes me back to my misspent youth :) did Power Drift not make it to the mega drive? I know I had a dodgy conversion on my trusty Amiga.

I wonder if Sega had seen a bigger return on Virtua Racer if the SVP chip would also have been able to bring up updated closer-to-arcade ports of these games on the Mega Drive?

Love your videos man, been watching you for a while well listening to you that is lol. This is my 1st time seeing you on camera, you dont look like your voice sounds lol but keep the vids coming!

Good stuff dude! I'd love a saturn follow on to how the Saturn faired compared to the genesis. Keep up the good work!

Awesome video. Can you do a comparison of how the 3D versions on the 3DS turned out vs Arcade originals, too?

What strikes me most here is just how good these super scaler arcade games looked and how well they aged compared to early polygonal 3D efforts, especially the home console ones. Unfortunately, I never seen any of them in the wild when I was growing up. They would have made quite an impression. It's a crime that Sega didn't do any proper Sega-CD ports using its scaling and rotation hardware. 32X seemed perfect for the job too. I did own and enjoy Space Harrier and Afterburner Complete on that system. Just wish that there were more. What's the best way to play some of the most obscure super scaler games such as Galaxy Force right now? Have they even been re-released on anything recent or even well-emulated on PC at this point?

Aw yea. S3 with Sega Lord X

If only the Sega Genesis had a scaler chip. I read somewhere that it was originally planned, which makes sense with Super Thunder Blade and Space Harrier II being launch games, but was scraped due to price. Honestly how much more could it have costed, $20? What's sad is when TG16 gets (arguably)better ports of your flagship games like Thunder Blade, Outrun and After Burner II. Sega could have done better. And where is my port of Power Drift? Great Video!

80% of the fun of most of these games was the top quality custom cabinets they sat in. My personal fav would have to be Space Harrier, I place it even above the 360 cabinet of afterburner, the game, the music pumping out of some crazy speakers embedded into the hydraulic chair and the huge joystick was an experience second to none at the time.

You should look into super scalers on CD and 32x next. I love most of those ports. I actually do like Outrunners on Genesis but I know it's limited haha!

My favorite racing games on the genesis have always been super hang on and out run

Your KZfaq channel 12,695 currently And yet its still 1000x better than angry video game nerd By a long run Always happy to see you post a new video another amazing job by Sega lord x Your videos is one of the resaons I still enjoy KZfaq today As always thank you for posting your new video You just turned a dull embarrassing moment into an epic fun moment for me

Great overview! You are indeed are a Sega Lord! Sega farmed the ports of these out to outside developers. The good ones (Outrun, Afterburner) were done be Denpa, who were famous for their ports to home computers in Japan. Turbo Outrun was done by European developer Tiertex, who have a notoriously bad reputation.

Some Mega Drive cards in which "Super Scaler" works fine: Toy Story (race stage) The Lost World Jurassic Park (River Raft Battle) Mickey Mania (Moose Stage) The Adventures of Batman & Robin (last stage of level 3 - "Tea Time") Mega Turrican (presentation and some sprites) I'd love to see a Super Monaco GP hack with its techniques. Or an After Burner, OutRun etc)

Sega Lord X the man himself! Love this channel!!

Great video sir

Thanks for these cool vides

Can you review the master system ports of these

Memory was a big restriction at that time. Puting flat colors instead of images was a way of saving memory.

Nice! Its good to see decente sega content.

I was rather annoyed to find out that Super Thunder Blade sucked so bad, since I actually brought a copy the other day, not knowing it was a Super Scaler port and thinking it was an original game, which I had heard good things about. This video is also really good, and very fun to watch though.

I loved Super Monaco GP, I remember playing it endlessly and I think it might have been my favorite racer until the Playstation released. As for Outrunners I've never seen that game in the arcades - and I don't remember there being a Genesis version either - not sure how this completely slipped by me. I'll have to check it out on Mame.

Despite how everyone feels, The 32X is what the Genesis should have been. Scaling and rotation should have been part of the Genesis hardware, considering that a lot of Sega arcade games contained that feature. If all Those arcade games were ported to the 32X, it would have been awesome.

I bought the Genesis on launch day thinking it COULD do scaling and couldn't wait to get home and pop in Super Thunder Blade and play my fav game at home. I loved the graphics and music of the arcade. I guess I didn't read enough about the Genesis and just saw "high definition graphics" and "bring the arcade home" and assumed almost identical translations. I will never forget how disappointed I was once I booted up STB for Genesis and got past the helo rising up, going out into the world and seeing the flat buildings hopping at me.

the Megadrive version of Outrunners graphically would of looked great if it was full screen, the car sprites looked pretty nice and seemed well animated

If you haven't played it, you should check out the "Sega Arcade Classics" game on the Nintendo 3DS. It includes beautiful ports of many of the games you review here, plus add the stereoscopic 3D.

By the way, the samples in After Burner are played throught the PSG nto the PCM which is quick impressive itself. And in all honesty, thunder blade was the first official released Megadrive game on cart.

Sega Genesis is my favorite system! Love the content here SLX!

Sega Lord X i found the perfect emulated version for Galaxy Force II that includes the Arcade, Genesis, and Master System versions revamped while also including a newer version titled Galaxy Force Neo. It's for PS2.

I ALWAYS said Sega's one mistake with the Genesis was not adding hardware scaling and rotation since most of their arcade titles were dependent on them.

Nice video.

Galaxy Force II and Space Harrier II are my favourite games on Sega Genesis collection for Nintendo Switch....Their gameplay, graphics and sound stand out......say what you will about them not being arcade perfect-about their issues, they are fun....

IF you overclock the CPU super hang on can get close to the arcade smoothness.

Am I the only one here who would love to see a SEGA Arcade Collection of their classic 80's & 90's games for modern platforms? Add a front-end where you can play as Ryo Hazuki walking around a 3D arcade where you can meticulously examine 3D versions of SEGA arcade cabinets, artwork, flyers & read up on their history, background music & you got yourself the best SEGA arcade collection ever on a games platform. You could even interact w/3D versions of other SEGA characters, like Jack & Sarah Bryant & play a 3D-modeled UFO Catcher to win toys based on SEGA characters you can collect, much like in Shenmue. What else would you love to see in such a game if SEGA were to make it?

Yeah, a lot of the arcade ports just weren't up to par. Good thing we have decent arcade emulation now days! Cool video!

Even though it wasn't developed by SEGA, there was Outlander. It was a bit clunky and the out of car levels could have done with a massive rework but otherwise it felt fast and the enemies were fun to fight.

I am more forgiving for most of these. I remember renting galaxy force on the genesis and being horribly disappointed. however I bought cheap later on and forced myself to play and finish the game. I grew on me a bit. yes it could have been much better and was lazy, but not the worst game I have ever played. you should do the master system super scaler series, if want to talk about comprises. lol great video and great memories! !!

Man! Even from here I can see and feel the choppiness of some of these ports. Mmmmm... so, the transparency problem wasn't a saturn exclusive thing uh?

@Sega Lord X - Since you did arcade to Sega comparisons in this video, I would like to know from your point of view on who did it better when it came to Street Fighter 2. Who had the better arcade port, Genesis or Super Nintendo?

Never heard of OutRunners. Very Cool!!

Yep, Super Thunder Blade on the Genesis is definitely a piss-poor port. Frustrating and choppy, I forced myself to play through the first stage to unlock I think the arcade version of Altered Beast in the "Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection", but never played it again after that.

I'd love to see you do more videos like this. Where you show your face! I like seeing you talk.

Nine out of ten times the arcade version will always look better although I do enjoy learning about these ports.

Good video

ok, attempting to "port" Galaxy Force II to the genesis/megadrive should have been a sign that things were not going to end well for SEGA corp. we should have seen it coming! lol

Love your voiCe and videos

super hang on is one of my favourite games on the system and my favourite motorcycle game of all time. and i like space harrier 2 more than the original arcade version. the scaling might not be there but the colour and visuals of harrier 2 come on top imo. tunderblade and G lock was decent as well

Space Harrier on the Master System is the definitive home version

Super scaler games are great. I'm that M2 will create a system 16 super scaler compilation the same way they did for castlevania.

What's your opinion of OutRun 2019? While not based on an arcade title, it was made by the same developers who ported the original OutRun, using their same code as a base for the game.

Hey. Is there anyway you can make a video about the Mega Everdrive?

When the SNES came out and my eyes witnessed the marvel of Mode 7 graphics, my Genesis became a paper weight!

I've heard that the 32X version of Space Harrier is decent, however at least we have the Yakuza games to rely on for great arcade ports.

Thank God for emulation, But an official arcade perfect console release would be the better option

I always prefer Space Harrier on SMS over the Genesis version simply because it was so smooth

Sega Lord, with so much retro indy stuff happening right now, do you know of any attempts to make a super scaler game at the moment in any game engine like Unity or UE? And do you think there is a market for it in 2020? =)

sega shouldve brought a lot of these to the sega cd, its hardware scaling wouldve done many of these a great service
