It turns out I don't have quite as profound a set of memories of getting a Sega Genesis as I did a Super Nintendo, but it was still a pretty neat day due to some inquisitive purchasing choices by my mother. This episode discusses Christmas Day 1992 and what I loved, and hated, about the Genesis. 

There is also some discussion of our plans for 2018. 

Games Discussed: 

  • Strider
  • Sonic The Hedgehog
  • Madden 1993
  • Phantasy Star III
  • NHL 94

In one of our first episodes, I promised an episode about River City Ransom. This is one of the best games games I have every played and its combination of side scrolling beat em up and role playing game mechanics has held up really well. 

The background music for this episode’s mailbag is from Chrono Trigger. The break music is from Super Castlevania.
