Over 40 New Sega Genesis & Mega Drive Games

Seeing all these aftermarket games in their boxes, all piled next to each other, really drives home the fact that the Mega Drive is still very much alive in the 2020's. There's some absolutely amazing games too... And this makes me a very happy man! Quality video Mike, cheers!

The Retrobit re-releases are absolutely divine. So worth it. And yes, Xeno Crisis is a god-tier Genesis/MD game. I'm right there with you: can't recommend it enough.

If you enjoy custom romhacks, you should definitely get / make yourself TMNT: Shredder's Re-Revenge (Streets of Rage 2 romhack)

I'm so glad you included R-Type. I'm very excited for that port.

That's a pretty nice collection. Strictly Limited really helps with their rereleases of older titles or games that never came out. Without them I wouldn't have physical copies of Panorama Cotton, Mega Turrican Directos Cut or Darius. I think Papriums record for the biggest Mega Drive game was broken with Demons of Asteborg. Due to the size of the game NeoFid had to create their own chipset called the Neodrive which currently maxes out at 120megs if I'm not mistaken. The actual filesize of Demons of Asteborg is 117megs I think Astebros uses the full 120megs though. With it's 3 characters and stunning animation I'm suprised it came so close to the first game in terms of size. But than again you do have minecarts and that superscaler shooting stage. Will you be again at gamescom this year?

I can't get enough of Demons of Asteborg 1 of my favourite games ever!

I love the modding and creative community. This is AMAZING :D

Perfect video for a Sunday, thank you! And seriously, why does the Megadrive have such an amazing indie community? Other consoles have their indie developers too, but it looks like the Megadrive has the biggest indie scene right now.

warning to anyone interested in collecting older (out of print) indie/homebrew physical releases: there are a LOT of fakes of the more expensive original homebrews floating around and you need to know what you are looking at before spending money on a "fake homebrew". Prime example is @24:45 Mega Cheryls Perils. Developed by Mojon Twins and published by 1985 Alternativo, this is very rare with an alledged print run of less than 100 (some say under 50) legit copies produced. The official release comes with a manual but there are some fakes out there that have copied that too. the case and cart shell are the same as other 1985A releases (not what was shown in this video). Be careful lest you throw good money after bad items!

One thing these homebrew games show is the lack of uniform branding. The inlays do nothing to make me want to buy them. Kai Magazine are the only ones who seem close to getting it on brand but the lack of branding is certainly also a Sega issue. It really lets down the overall package of these games. By the way I do own a repro of Golden Axe III and it's really cool to have. 👍

I have several of these and Tanglewood is my favourite of the bunch. Had it on Evercade then got it on original hardware. Beautiful game!

Your collection is looking amazing Mike, enjoy seeing all the new releases, from a guy with 20 years experience with photoshop your custom box art is second to none. Keep up the good work, C.

Chips Challenge was on the Atari Lynx.

Good to see you back Mike!!! It’s been a while, your Megadrive collection looks amazing!!!!

Awesome revisit to all these “modern” Sega MD games, thanks for this episode. Also, your R-type custom creation looks amazing!

Great vid and found a few games to pick up in future! Cheers Mike! Oh FYI Fix it Felix was originally a arcade game that the film was influenced by. Cool to see it ported though.

WOW! 40 new games for the Mega Drive/Genesis Mike? I had know idea and really lost count. But glad to see them being offered to the public for us to enjoy. 8^) Anthony..

Dope show .!! Now we need you to sell all of these so we don’t have to search all over or make physical versions so we can purchase directly from you. Not only are you a sega genesis media on YouTube but a source to purchase .

Some of these games are available on the Evercade. It's great the Megadrive is still going strong.

Good to see a new video from you. I love all the new games for the MD as well. Have quite a few of them.
