This is now my favorite comment. Thank you for that.

Glad your ok.

Liar!

hah understandable, the visuals are awesome

If you're a fan of the (admittedly terrific) Starcon 2, make sure to check out Starflight and Starlfight 2. Greg Johnson worked on all 3 games and Star Control 2 was a direct response to Starlight 1. There are tons of similarities, and both have their strengths, but I'm more of a Starflight guy even though both are amazing.

There’s an awesome open-source remake of the game called Ur-Quan Masters, which is endorsed wholly by TFB. You should play it!

Star Control 2 is one of my all time favorite games. I really need to get a big box copy some day.

@@lazarus2863 I played the Sega version of Starflight and I have to admit it didn't click with me. I'll try to check out the sequel

@@st1ka i have the 3do long box and a PC release in jewel case only. Prices hit insane for PC big box .

It's such a great show

@@st1ka Phantom 2040 was a very good show. I also remember that show from back in the day. Maybe because the art style of Peter Chung it was not as mainstream as it could have been. The general plot was engaging and true to the source material. I did not know there was a video game for it until now. Im glad to see more people remember.

@@2lobo777 a shame because it deserved to be successful

The PC Engine has some truly great action games. I often think that if I weren't a Mega Drive fan, I'd be a PC Engine fan haha

@@st1ka why can't you be both like me??? 😎

@@HiNRGboy hehe

It looks great, I love the classic anime art style

Well, if you end up looking for a way to play physical copies of the games, while I'm not the biggest fan of their business practices, I think that Analogue is still selling the Analogue Duo, for playing both hucard and CD based PC-Engine games, for not much more than an original PC-Engine Duo, or less than an original Duo that's been modded to be region free. Games for the system are rarely cheap, but tend to be very charming.

I aim to please!

I love the Genesis version but was never able to even understand how to play the SNES one.

@@jaywinner328 The SNES one is a wholly different beast, really. The initial grind is kind of awful (you have to kill random gunmen a lot to be able to upgrade your hitpoints using karma by resting on specific beds). You also really need to have a lot of conversations and test keywords to advance dialogue (remember Final Fantasy 2?)

It looks similar to Deja Vu for the NES, which plays the same as Shadow Gate or the Uninvited. I highly recommend it though, far more then those games.

@@bloodykenshiro8218 That's the cool part, the SNES and Genesis games are both awesome in their own ways and they both have their own little crowd of supporters who swear by them because they're so good. I'm a SNES Shadowrun fanboy myself but I totally buy the entertainment viability of Genesis Shadowrun, too.

haha yep literally

haha yep

Yep it was! I was actually gonna talk more about the show, but the Phantom 2040 segment was already pretty big on its own.

I thought it looked familiar

Honestly, Phantom 2040 is way better than Aeon Flux...change my mind.

100% agreed

Order of the Griffon really should've gotten computer ports and been considered part of the D&D Gold Box series.

Haha yep, even Robocop got a cyberpunk reboot

Actually, to be honest, Phantom 2040 kind of started that trend, so, without it, you have no shows like Zorro: Generation Z, Loonatix: Unleashed, and, most notably, Batman Beyond/Batman of the Future, as Phantom 2040 predated all of those shows. One can also possibly consider James Bond Jr. the impetus for Phantom 2040 and its existence as well. Finally, it is funny that you mentioned Batman, as Mark Hamill also had a recurring character in Phantom 2040 as well.

T-T-THERE'S A SEQUEL?!?! Please tell me it came out in the west.

Unfortunately, The Firemen 2: Danny & Pete is Japan only

@@TheClassicGamefan damn :(

Hey, you're Lucifer from 46 Okunen Monogatari! Great game, that...

I recall player 2 on the SNES (PAL version)

Oh yeah, I can imagine it not having solid distribution network. Seems that was something of a common issue for RPGs back in the day.

Glad you liked the video my dude ^_^

Oh damn! I did notknow that. Are the previous games good?

@@st1ka I can't speak much for the older ones, they were never released in the west (I have copies of japanese verisons but just mildly tried them out), but the GBA Medabots RPG is awesome, definitely one of my favourite GBA games. The older ones play pretty much the same but the GBA has more visual flare to it, basically. It's like a remake of the 2nd or 3rd Medabots game AFAIK.

@buggyismyrealnameiswear547 yep I actually plan to include the medabots rpg game in a future video

@@st1ka the GBA Medabots RPG is an amazing, deeply underrated game but please don't expect to figure out what you're doing immediately. you can play it for weeks and still figure out new things about how combat & customization work; it's the kinda game you gotta really dedicate yourself to, like something Japanese kids were meant to obsess over all summer vacation. even all the basics are hard to memorize & keep in mind at all times to really form tactics around them, and there are hidden mechanics too. the GBA game is a remake of 2 on GBC; the game before that was Medarot 1 on the original GB and the third one is Medarot R on PS1. both are translated; 1 shows its age but with a guide (at least look up the medal locations, the game can be really assholey with those) & speed-up feature (emulator or Switch collection if you know Japanese) I got a lot of fun out of it still. R is considered a black sheep of the series in Japan and by some an outright bad game for gameplay balancing reasons (what Japanese user reviewers call "part inflation") but I liked what I played of it & it's the third mainline game (GBC) is being fan-patched right now (2 was skipped cuz of the remake being officially released back in the day) so you can try out the other 3 until that comes out. 1 is flawed but pretty short (especially for an RPG) while the GBA one is a massive commitment but might be my favorite turn-based RPG battle system of all time.

​@RaymondoPerson oh I actually used to play the medabots GBA RPG back in the day so hopefully I'll still remember its intrincacies

Yep! but I have to admit, I'm not a fan of that game.

I want a fan translation of that one SO BAD!

I aim to please! :)

Such great games

glad I could help! :D

You know what? That's the most original take I've heard regarding my voice. You get a pass

So far I didn't find Ruff N' Tumble's level design too bad, but it does have that euro flare... for better or worse.

Honestly, Ruff 'N' Tumble deserved an SNES/NSFC appearance as well.

@@paxhumana2015 yep true

haha it does

I aim to please ^^

There's always the SNES version ^^

This is now my favorite comment

I have the same theory, In fact i wrote a comment about that along with a bit more detail on my thoughts as to why in this very comments section! In fact someone in live chat said it was because of: "​Lack of space + laziness when cramming in the other euro languages I beleive" and although i'm a bit reluctant about the "laziness" part, i think other than the typos he's probably correct.

Yep, it's so crazy to think that Kane also voiced Prince Brandon haha

@@druryhunter127 I honestly have no idea the reason, it could be that finding translaters for every language was simply too expensive

I wish had a 3DO. It's a really underrated system

I'd love to own Android Assault ^^

Android Assault/Bal-Arma (whatever its alternate name is) deserved an SNES/NSFC or Sega Genesis/Mega Drive port as well. I would also like to see a Ultimate Edition of Darius I and Darius II for the SNES/NSFC, too.

Kyrandia 2 and Dune 1 taught me the English language lol

@@st1ka Damn, that's so awesome. I always wanted to learn another language like that, but feels so intimidating. Dx

To be fair, when you're a kid and your choices are English or not playing games, you kind of make due xD

Oh wow, I didn't know Super Hydlide was on the MSX. which version is better?

@@st1ka The Mega Drive version both looks and sounds (slightly) better; then again it was released two years after the MSX version, so it's more of a remaster than a straight port.

@@Meximagician ah interesting!

Both Genesis & SNES Shadowrun are great.

@@endymallorn Though I recall SNES's has the edge up in the fandom.

@@RyutheWeredragon Well, that’s in part because it’s basically canon to the metaplot of the novels and the books, given that it’s about Jake Armitage. Genesis is like a campaign run in the setting. It might be legitimate, it might not.

Remember to read the manual for the Sega version, it really helps. Also, you should spend the first hour or two doing easy quests like escort missions to build karma ^^

@@RyutheWeredragon Yeah the SNES version is the more popular one, but I think it's because the Sega version has a greater barrier to entry. Anyone can pick up on the SNES' rules and controls. The Sega version requires you to read the manual and you start out WAY underpowered at the start. The good thing is that towards the end you pretty much become a demi-god

glad I could help!

I aim to please ^^

Yeah, I've noticed the SNES game had a bigger impact, but I think it's because the Sega version has a greater barrier to entry.

@@st1ka If were going pedantic with this, the SNES version is heavily referenced and is canon for the latest Shadowrun games whereas the Genesis version is more faithful to the source material. The pen & paper RPG game.

@@StriderVM Yep I think that's an accurate assment. In the end, the Sega version has almost no story and it requires you to read the manual, so I can understand how someone who is just download a rom might not be into it

There is also Firegirl: Hack`n Splash Rescue DX, a 2,5D rougelike platformer (multiplatform but only as download available).

I actually didn't know the Firemen had a sequel until recently.

Truly the best ending scenario

I wanna live in the timeline where the TG-CD and Sega/Mega-CD were the triumphant systems of the 16-bit era...

aww thank you! I try! xD

How is someone wholesome when they say if you don't like a 16 bit game of bikini-clad teens he won't be friends with you lol

@@devo076 Yeah fuck that guy for naking a joke. I keep forgetting wholesome means 1960s anericana.

Yeah I get that, the issue is, that I feel comparing the GBA to the Saturn or PS1 isn't fair. so I had to bump it down to the 16-bit gen

@@st1ka maybe comparing to the CD32 would be more fitting; particularly since a lot of the AGA games were either OCS enhanced ports or new, original, games still made with the OCS mindset and aesthetics

Heck, the 3DO would also be a good one. Both consoles use ARM processors, after all! It should be noted, however, that the 3DO had polygon capabilities, while the CD32 was simply a faster (in some operations only) A1200

@@DanielMonteiroNit Ah yeah, but CD32 games are basically Amiga 500 games which... again... 16bit xD

@@DanielMonteiroNit Oh the 3DO I do place firmly in the 32-bit generation

I aim to please ^^

Shhh. You'll summon Metal Jesus.

Glad I could help! :D

haha

Hehe. Yeah it's 32 bit, but I feel it's unfair to compare the GBA to the PS1 and Saturn for example ^^

Technically Sega Genesis is 32bit platform also. Motorolla 68000 is 32bit CPU with external RAM bus width 16bit. It's like Nintendo 64 is 9bit console, because it's RAM connected with weird 9bit bus~

​@@st1ka I think you're confusing "retro-looking" with "16 bits". :) The GBA may not have dedicated 3D hardware but "number-of-Ds" is a different metric than "number of bits". Bits represented way more than a 90s console marketing gimmick: number of onscreen colors, resolution, processing speed (well, how fast data can be processed, not how fast the CPU runs), amount of addressable (thus, available) memory, both in terms of RAM and ROM, etc... A 16-bit system cannot do what the GBA can, not without severe concessions (Also worth mentioning the PS1 has a processor running 2x as fast as the GBA (about 1.50-1.75x for the Saturn), but the GBA runs over 5x faster than an SNES - the comparison seems even *more* unfair when comparing it with retro consoles...). Playing devil's advocate though, the GBA sound chip has two 16-bit processors, so I guess you could make a case for that? In the same way the Jaguar with its two 32 bit processors was a "64 bit console", I guess? :P

@@rollanddev I mean I get what you mean, but comparing PS1 games with GBA is still unfair to the system. Whereas GBA games feel much more at home on a 16-bit video. :P

Yeah, I had to bend the rules a bit and basically just go by whether or not the game in question could realistically be built for 16-bit consoles without suffering many sacrifices. In this case, the my Ms-Dos choices seem to fit in better with the 16-bit gen than the 8-bit or 32-bit gens imo

Shadowrun is such a fun game. I love it

Those are indeed some great games. I might actually add Hero's quest to the list for a sequel video

It's such a great game!

glad I could help!

I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of the Sega CD version. I do love the Genesis version though :D

Thank you! ^^

Yeah I was officially going to feature that game and a few others but ended up cutting them for time

Jealous! I'd love to get Android Assault

I still prefer Black Hole Assault over Android Assault personally...

right?! It's just a shame the 1940s comic doesn't have any of the cyberpunk elements.

​@@st1ka - Cyberpunk existing in the 1940's would've been VERY prophetic science fiction!

​@JohnnyProctor9 but how awesome would it be? :P

It's a game that truly deserves more love

I understand that, though I do love 8bit gaming too

@@st1ka I 'll give credit on some 8 bit for sure I wouldn't want to have not had. Mario Bros 3, Chip N Dales Rescue Rangers, Ninja Gaiden, even more basic titles like Rampart. And Silent Service the massively amazing sim tittle for it's time to hit a console. Check that one out if you get a chance and know that it takes two Nintendo Controllers to get the most out of it. But as such it makes a great CO OP game to play with someone for submarine operations.

Great choices :D

@@st1ka in the SNES version they removed all the puzzle elements, it's just a run of the mill platformer (they also removed a lot of bosses). On the Amiga you have to find a number of magic bells and use them to solve puzzles in order to advance.
