The Sega Genesis Challenge
« on: November 06, 2010, 04:39:26 AM »
On a recent trip to a local game store I came across a ton of complete Sega Genesis games. Not only were these games complete in clamshell case with instructions, most included other inserts such as warranty cards, posters, etc and everything was in very good condition. Not only that but the games themselves were really solid titles such as Wonder Boy in Monster World, Wings of Wor, Mega Turrican, Lightning Force, and more. Action RPGs, platformers, and shmups were well represented and even though I had not played any of these titles before I took the plunge and added them to my collection.

While looking at all of these new titles sitting on my shelf I got to thinking about what I could do for my show. And so the Sega Genesis Challenge was born. I challenged myself to make a first impressions video of each one of these 14 Genesis games and to do one video every single day for the next 2 weeks. In addition, I will do a closer look writeup of each title as well where I can better articulate my thoughts on the game. Keep in mind however this is just a more in-depth writeup of my first impressions, not a full on review.

I'd love to do one but I don't have a copy yet. :( Will gladly take one as a donation if you want to contribute to the project. ;)

Hey, I would love nothing more than to do one. I just don't have a copy of the game and haven't been able to find one for a price I'm willing to pay. But trust me, it is on my wanted list.  :-"

True, but I've made it a point to only do reviews for games that I actually own. It wouldn't be the same to me if I just used burned cd's and emulators.

The store you went to has a much better Genesis selection than any places I ever visit. All I find are Sonic games, Mortal Kombat and sports titles. Constantly.
