Top Four

00:00:00 ◼   ► so welcome back to top for everybody

00:00:01 ◼   ► this week we are talking about this is

00:00:04 ◼   ► this was a tricky category to define but

00:00:07 ◼   ► we decided to talk about our top four

00:00:09 ◼   ► childhood console games yeah because we

00:00:12 ◼   ► wanted to restrict it in some way but

00:00:15 ◼   ► our choices were kind of being tricky

00:00:18 ◼   ► and unrestricted because we wanted to

00:00:21 ◼   ► jump around between different consoles

00:00:23 ◼   ► so we didn't want to pick specifically

00:00:25 ◼   ► consoles because I don't think we could

00:00:26 ◼   ► pick four out of like every single one

00:00:28 ◼   ► although I guess if you twisted our arm

00:00:30 ◼   ► I guess we'd have to but since it's our

00:00:34 ◼   ► show we're making up the rules and we

00:00:36 ◼   ► are picking a whole bunch of stuff that

00:00:38 ◼   ► I guess ranged from our childhood gaming

00:00:41 ◼   ► experiences of the late 80s through the

00:00:44 ◼   ► 90s kind of into the time when we kind

00:00:47 ◼   ► of stopped playing games because we got

00:00:49 ◼   ► like friends and stuff well I mean it

00:00:54 ◼   ► for me like it you know because we're

00:00:56 ◼   ► shipping this to console game

00:00:57 ◼   ► specifically so this kind of this era

00:01:00 ◼   ► for me ended mostly when I went to

00:01:02 ◼   ► college but you know and I started

00:01:04 ◼   ► really just playing computer games and

00:01:05 ◼   ► buddy that even bled into like late high

00:01:07 ◼   ► school that the last console I had as a

00:01:09 ◼   ► child was a Sega Genesis like that one

00:01:12 ◼   ► console really we've always had console

00:01:14 ◼   ► games pretty much all of them because my

00:01:16 ◼   ► dad really liked playing right so he was

00:01:19 ◼   ► cool with getting them we never had to

00:01:21 ◼   ► like wait really for Christmas that I

00:01:23 ◼   ► can remember they just were kind of

00:01:25 ◼   ► there all the time advantage to having a

00:01:28 ◼   ► parent who was also into the game but

00:01:31 ◼   ► yeah I kind of fell out of them when I

00:01:33 ◼   ► started going to high school and getting

00:01:35 ◼   ► really busy with clubs and stuff to do

00:01:38 ◼   ► that I just couldn't play and then my

00:01:39 ◼   ► brother was coming up he's five years

00:01:41 ◼   ► younger than me so he started playing a

00:01:43 ◼   ► lot of like the Nintendo 64 games so I

00:01:46 ◼   ► didn't really get that into though it's

00:01:49 ◼   ► because he was playing them the majority

00:01:51 ◼   ► at the time so I actually had a lot of

00:01:54 ◼   ► time on n64 so I guess like all my

00:01:56 ◼   ► friends had the n64 but I didn't so I

00:01:59 ◼   ► didn't get into like friend gaming until

00:02:01 ◼   ► Starcraft and so we started playing

00:02:04 ◼   ► computer games with friends ta so much

00:02:07 ◼   ► better than Starcraft all right so you

00:02:09 ◼   ► didn't know you picked the wrong team on

00:02:11 ◼   ► that one I didn't know it just happened

00:02:13 ◼   ► to me

00:02:14 ◼   ► not true anyway so so basically we're

00:02:17 ◼   ► talking about like our top four console

00:02:19 ◼   ► games from roughly the 8 and 16-bit era

00:02:23 ◼   ► but I actually have I don't know if you

00:02:26 ◼   ► want to start with things that didn't

00:02:28 ◼   ► make your list quite I have two

00:02:30 ◼   ► honorable mentions that I wanted to oh I

00:02:31 ◼   ► have a bunch of honorable mentions too

00:02:33 ◼   ► but before we say that I think that we

00:02:34 ◼   ► wanted to say that because we came to

00:02:36 ◼   ► this category because our son is four

00:02:39 ◼   ► now well four and a half and he's been

00:02:43 ◼   ► really enjoying watching us play through

00:02:45 ◼   ► a whole bunch of these older games he

00:02:47 ◼   ► watched us play through the Mario's the

00:02:50 ◼   ► Sonics the Zelda's and we can only

00:02:54 ◼   ► emulate up to Super Nintendo so I think

00:02:57 ◼   ► that that is why we are kind of picking

00:03:00 ◼   ► this games that we have recently been

00:03:02 ◼   ► remembering because we've been having

00:03:04 ◼   ► fun reliving them with him yeah it was

00:03:07 ◼   ► really into them he is really into them

00:03:09 ◼   ► he can't quite play them yet but he is

00:03:11 ◼   ► an avid watcher which I'm very proud of

00:03:13 ◼   ► and it's nice that you know playing

00:03:15 ◼   ► through these old games it's really nice

00:03:16 ◼   ► to to rediscover them now to kind of

00:03:19 ◼   ► look back on them with it with a

00:03:20 ◼   ► critical adult I also and to really see

00:03:23 ◼   ► how great most of them are and they

00:03:26 ◼   ► really you know these not not every game

00:03:28 ◼   ► that we've like you know I have a whole

00:03:30 ◼   ► lot of Genesis and Super Nintendo and

00:03:32 ◼   ► NES roms that we play here on Apple TV

00:03:35 ◼   ► emulator and many of them don't hold up

00:03:39 ◼   ► at all many of them you know are in the

00:03:41 ◼   ► past and should stay in the past but but

00:03:43 ◼   ► some of the really great ones are are

00:03:44 ◼   ► still really great even by today's you

00:03:47 ◼   ► know they don't the graphics don't look

00:03:48 ◼   ► as good but you stopped paying attention

00:03:50 ◼   ► to that after the first 30 seconds and

00:03:52 ◼   ► then you just enjoy how fun the game is

00:03:53 ◼   ► and it's it's pretty great

00:03:55 ◼   ► alright so honorable mentions the ones

00:03:57 ◼   ► that didn't make your list I have to

00:03:58 ◼   ► hear do you want to start it should I go

00:04:01 ◼   ► I've been flip-flopping around my number

00:04:03 ◼   ► three and four anyway and I have a whole

00:04:04 ◼   ► bunch of honorable mentions one is going

00:04:07 ◼   ► to confuse and stupefy you okay the

00:04:11 ◼   ► other ones you'll probably you might

00:04:14 ◼   ► have the same one I don't know we

00:04:16 ◼   ► haven't talked about it yet I think it's

00:04:17 ◼   ► something that we should emulate with

00:04:19 ◼   ► Adam actually oh not not mine neither of

00:04:22 ◼   ► my honorable mentions should be emulated

00:04:23 ◼   ► with Adam one of mine definitely should

00:04:25 ◼   ► okay so I guess I'll bring that one up

00:04:27 ◼   ► for

00:04:27 ◼   ► f zero that's a good one yeah which one

00:04:30 ◼   ► the n64 the Super Nintendo the one words

00:04:33 ◼   ► like do nu nu nu nu nu you firmly refer

00:04:39 ◼   ► to the Super Nintendo one that yes yeah

00:04:45 ◼   ► Super Nintendo is probably when you're

00:04:46 ◼   ► talking about yeah is it Super Nintendo

00:04:48 ◼   ► yeah I guess it was the same one with

00:04:50 ◼   ► the super scope yeah yeah Super Nintendo

00:04:52 ◼   ► yeah yeah yeah the n64 one was was also

00:04:55 ◼   ► pretty good but most people didn't have

00:04:57 ◼   ► it it seemed like everybody had the

00:04:59 ◼   ► Super in them yeah I'm picturing the

00:05:00 ◼   ► cartridge right now and it was a Super

00:05:01 ◼   ► Nintendo one it was awesome my brother

00:05:03 ◼   ► and I and my dad played that game a lot

00:05:05 ◼   ► on weekends it was so much fun and I can

00:05:09 ◼   ► pretty much remember all of the theme

00:05:10 ◼   ► songs you're like coming up to this door

00:05:14 ◼   ► I could I hear that game it was great it

00:05:17 ◼   ► was a really fun racing game it was

00:05:20 ◼   ► unlike anything that we've seen very

00:05:22 ◼   ► often at the time and the music was

00:05:25 ◼   ► super catchy and it was a little tricky

00:05:27 ◼   ► I liked going through all the power-ups

00:05:29 ◼   ► and making the jumps and stuff so it was

00:05:33 ◼   ► a great game for me because I remember

00:05:35 ◼   ► with having fun with my family and I

00:05:37 ◼   ► also think it was a pretty fantastic

00:05:39 ◼   ► racing game yeah I mean I I didn't have

00:05:42 ◼   ► a lot of time with it because as I

00:05:43 ◼   ► mentioned I only had a Genesis for most

00:05:45 ◼   ► of my for all my childhood I really

00:05:48 ◼   ► until I went to college and played pcs

00:05:50 ◼   ► for a while and after college I started

00:05:51 ◼   ► buying a couple old consoles but we know

00:05:53 ◼   ► during during my whole childhood I could

00:05:55 ◼   ► only play non Genesis games at friends

00:05:58 ◼   ► houses so I was really limited by what

00:06:00 ◼   ► my friends had I'm willing to play with

00:06:01 ◼   ► me so that's why I like I have seen

00:06:03 ◼   ► almost none of the single-player

00:06:04 ◼   ► Nintendo games like the RPGs and

00:06:06 ◼   ► everything I've seen very little of

00:06:07 ◼   ► those yeah so most of my Nintendo

00:06:09 ◼   ► experience is the multiplayer stuff and

00:06:11 ◼   ► the Mario games everybody had of course

00:06:12 ◼   ► yeah we owned f-zero and like a whole

00:06:14 ◼   ► bunch of others and of course you know

00:06:17 ◼   ► the big popular ones of course but we

00:06:19 ◼   ► also rented games a lot at the video

00:06:22 ◼   ► store it was an expensive luxury we

00:06:24 ◼   ► didn't have it we would you know we

00:06:26 ◼   ► would go and we would get a family movie

00:06:29 ◼   ► or something for the weekend and then

00:06:31 ◼   ► but you know when my brother and I were

00:06:32 ◼   ► both old enough to play these games that

00:06:34 ◼   ► we would we would rent a game for the

00:06:37 ◼   ► weekend as well which was also really

00:06:39 ◼   ► fun so we got to play all of like the

00:06:41 ◼   ► simpsons games that why would you buy

00:06:43 ◼   ► them but they were super fun to rent so

00:06:46 ◼   ► bad yeah it was like it was like renting

00:06:48 ◼   ► all like the garbage candy and if you

00:06:50 ◼   ► got to just like get a sugar high on

00:06:52 ◼   ► them for the weekend and then send them

00:06:54 ◼   ► back because no one actually wants to

00:06:55 ◼   ► finish those games no nobody even wants

00:06:58 ◼   ► dark all right so my number my first

00:07:01 ◼   ► honorable mention that didn't quite make

00:07:02 ◼   ► my list ties into what I was just saying

00:07:05 ◼   ► but only having a Genesis it is Street

00:07:07 ◼   ► Fighter 2 for the Super Nintendo yeah we

00:07:10 ◼   ► can't play that with my with that yeah

00:07:12 ◼   ► no definitely not Street Fighter 2 you

00:07:15 ◼   ► know I I don't know how many of our

00:07:16 ◼   ► listeners were around playing video

00:07:18 ◼   ► games in 1992 but if you were this game

00:07:22 ◼   ► like swept the video game playing world

00:07:25 ◼   ► it was a phenomenon I mean the one that

00:07:27 ◼   ► but yeah and it has like you know Ryu

00:07:29 ◼   ► and Ken and chun-li like all that like

00:07:31 ◼   ► it's like this game the chick with all

00:07:33 ◼   ► the boobs and the the looks all the legs

00:07:36 ◼   ► that you're thinking of but oh that's

00:07:37 ◼   ► right she choked people yeah okay I

00:07:40 ◼   ► thinking of some something else that's

00:07:43 ◼   ► maybe not appropriate no lady with the

00:07:47 ◼   ► with the legs looked a million leg kick

00:07:49 ◼   ► it looks like Channel two legs like I

00:07:51 ◼   ► thought she jumped on someone's head and

00:07:52 ◼   ► strangled them with her thighs I don't

00:07:55 ◼   ► know I don't I didn't play as her often

00:07:57 ◼   ► so I don't know if that was I don't

00:07:58 ◼   ► remember that is one of her moves anyway

00:08:00 ◼   ► so Street Fighter 2 I mean either side

00:08:02 ◼   ► like it this basically took the world by

00:08:04 ◼   ► storm it is kind of like like what we

00:08:07 ◼   ► see today when like an iOS game hits it

00:08:09 ◼   ► really big and like everyone you know is

00:08:11 ◼   ► playing it everyone was playing this and

00:08:13 ◼   ► I and this was especially relevant to me

00:08:15 ◼   ► because I didn't have a Super Nintendo

00:08:16 ◼   ► and it didn't come to Genesis for like

00:08:18 ◼   ► two years afterward there was a long

00:08:19 ◼   ► time and I would say Street Fighter 2

00:08:23 ◼   ► probably sold more Super Nintendo

00:08:25 ◼   ► systems than any other game ever for the

00:08:28 ◼   ► Super Nintendo like it was a I can't

00:08:30 ◼   ► overestimate how much it swept the road

00:08:32 ◼   ► and for good reason because it like that

00:08:34 ◼   ► that style of fighting game like that

00:08:36 ◼   ► was the original that style like that

00:08:39 ◼   ► was the first game to really bring that

00:08:40 ◼   ► to people and there it just spawned a

00:08:43 ◼   ► genre and now there

00:08:44 ◼   ► is that style game eighty million

00:08:46 ◼   ► different wage for every possible system

00:08:48 ◼   ► that came after that wasn't like in an

00:08:50 ◼   ► arcade first and then it came to you

00:08:51 ◼   ► yeah but it I don't remember I mean I

00:08:54 ◼   ► didn't go to arcades much like I was

00:08:55 ◼   ► slightly too young to really hit the

00:08:57 ◼   ► arcade scene like when they were really

00:09:00 ◼   ► big so I didn't I never really saw it on

00:09:03 ◼   ► arcade but I know it was an arcade hit

00:09:05 ◼   ► beforehand and it really took off when

00:09:06 ◼   ► it came to home consoles and Men it was

00:09:08 ◼   ► rough to be a Genesis owner at the time

00:09:11 ◼   ► when everybody was behind the Super

00:09:12 ◼   ► Nintendo to play that key so yeah I

00:09:15 ◼   ► didn't play any of those fighting games

00:09:16 ◼   ► I mean I've seen them and stuff but we

00:09:18 ◼   ► really didn't have any of those in the

00:09:20 ◼   ► house we were more racing Mario yeah

00:09:23 ◼   ► zelda family anyway my other honorable

00:09:26 ◼   ► mention is talk about not having having

00:09:30 ◼   ► strange games in the house we had this

00:09:32 ◼   ► game called vegas dream on nes and it

00:09:40 ◼   ► was like you were in a casino you need

00:09:42 ◼   ► to look you need to look up the

00:09:43 ◼   ► screenshots do this while I'm talking

00:09:45 ◼   ► about it you are in a casino you show up

00:09:49 ◼   ► and you have all the games available to

00:09:51 ◼   ► you and then you can like go to the bar

00:09:53 ◼   ► and like strange people approach you

00:09:54 ◼   ► with like propositions for stuff and you

00:09:57 ◼   ► can you know play special players or you

00:10:00 ◼   ► can go see a show and they have just

00:10:02 ◼   ► like this little like ooh these dancing

00:10:04 ◼   ► girls that don't really dance there's

00:10:06 ◼   ► just like music playing I don't know why

00:10:07 ◼   ► but as a child I like a fairly young to

00:10:10 ◼   ► I don't know how old would I have been

00:10:12 ◼   ► this looks so bad we played it upstate

00:10:14 ◼   ► in the Upstate house we had and I would

00:10:16 ◼   ► play this all the time I really liked

00:10:17 ◼   ► playing keno I think that that's how you

00:10:19 ◼   ► say it oh yeah yeah who knows anyway I

00:10:22 ◼   ► didn't know what I was doing for like

00:10:24 ◼   ► any of these games I just would gamble

00:10:26 ◼   ► and bet and play blackjack and yep there

00:10:29 ◼   ► it is and play play roulette ins up I

00:10:33 ◼   ► loved playing this game I don't know if

00:10:36 ◼   ► my parents knew I was playing this game

00:10:38 ◼   ► but they had to it looks like it's

00:10:41 ◼   ► fairly adult themed I mean the graphics

00:10:44 ◼   ► are buttons but oh I just remember the

00:10:48 ◼   ► music I really love this game I would

00:10:50 ◼   ► totally play it again and I think that

00:10:52 ◼   ► everyone should kind of look up and we

00:10:54 ◼   ► should get this on emulator just so you

00:10:56 ◼   ► can see it I have no I

00:10:57 ◼   ► I mean like I I really enjoyed Vegas

00:11:00 ◼   ► dream yeah and I'm so not a gambler

00:11:02 ◼   ► either but I just well playing this game

00:11:05 ◼   ► when I was probably like eight I don't

00:11:07 ◼   ► know how old was I yeah something like

00:11:09 ◼   ► that I mean I mean yeah like this is

00:11:11 ◼   ► like one of the games I really enjoyed

00:11:13 ◼   ► growing up was California games for the

00:11:16 ◼   ► Sega Master System that because you

00:11:18 ◼   ► could play Master System games on the

00:11:19 ◼   ► Genesis with this like a little like $15

00:11:22 ◼   ► adapter that sat on top of the Genesis

00:11:23 ◼   ► and I got the ROM for that I tried

00:11:26 ◼   ► playing it here it was so bad like and

00:11:30 ◼   ► not to mention like incredibly like

00:11:32 ◼   ► sexist and a ho ho well yeah but like

00:11:35 ◼   ► even the gameplay was horrendous by

00:11:39 ◼   ► modern standards and that that's one

00:11:40 ◼   ► that really did not hold up this your

00:11:42 ◼   ► Vegas dream for NES I have a feeling

00:11:45 ◼   ► this is going to be that kind of

00:11:46 ◼   ► scenario but like there are men that

00:11:48 ◼   ► come up to you and you might get married

00:11:50 ◼   ► so I don't think it really or women I

00:11:53 ◼   ► can't I couldn't remember I just

00:11:55 ◼   ► remember thinking maybe I might have

00:11:56 ◼   ► been playing as a woman batter know when

00:11:58 ◼   ► you like leave and you lose all your

00:11:59 ◼   ► money and you have to play like the

00:12:01 ◼   ► final slot before they kick you out of

00:12:02 ◼   ► Vegas and all this stuff then you have

00:12:05 ◼   ► like this walking away scene where

00:12:06 ◼   ► there's these four guys in like suits

00:12:10 ◼   ► you bounced you know you're walking away

00:12:13 ◼   ► to the airport which isn't a screen shot

00:12:15 ◼   ► it's like guys in in like hats like and

00:12:19 ◼   ► trench coats yeah sounds like you're

00:12:21 ◼   ► getting thrown out by like the Mafia is

00:12:23 ◼   ► that I don't know what mafia things do

00:12:25 ◼   ► come up like it's just so you got you

00:12:29 ◼   ► guys defense right because Nintendo for

00:12:31 ◼   ► a long time and they still do to some I

00:12:33 ◼   ► don't know how this game got in my house

00:12:34 ◼   ► like my my dad again it was definitely

00:12:37 ◼   ► from my dad but like it was around and I

00:12:39 ◼   ► would play it constantly like Nintendo

00:12:41 ◼   ► used to be a lot more strict than they

00:12:43 ◼   ► are now even about family-friendly stuff

00:12:46 ◼   ► like everything had to be

00:12:47 ◼   ► family-friendly like back speaking of

00:12:49 ◼   ► fighting games when Mortal Kombat first

00:12:51 ◼   ► came on on Nintendo systems if they had

00:12:54 ◼   ► to like color the blood I think white or

00:12:57 ◼   ► yellow to make it the enemy they just

00:12:58 ◼   ► called it sweat even though it was

00:13:00 ◼   ► obviously like the same blood from the

00:13:01 ◼   ► genesis version just like a different

00:13:03 ◼   ► color well nothing was racy in Vegas

00:13:38 ◼   ► n64 ooh

00:13:39 ◼   ► nice I was hoping you'd say that yeah

00:13:41 ◼   ► this is so again this is what Street

00:13:43 ◼   ► Fighter 2 and Goldeneye are not games

00:13:44 ◼   ► and going to play with Adam at least not

00:13:46 ◼   ► until he's much older and playing way

00:13:47 ◼   ► more violent games and these would be

00:13:49 ◼   ► like the tame ones that I try to lure

00:13:50 ◼   ► him back to reality with but yeah

00:13:52 ◼   ► Goldeneye for n64 this this came out in

00:13:55 ◼   ► 97 and this was I you I was in high

00:13:58 ◼   ► school we were both in high school

00:13:59 ◼   ► during this time all my friends had this

00:14:01 ◼   ► the n64 was the first console that came

00:14:04 ◼   ► with four controller ports and that

00:14:06 ◼   ► really helped it with like local

00:14:08 ◼   ► multiplayer like multiplayer in the same

00:14:10 ◼   ► room with the n64 was amazing and it was

00:14:12 ◼   ► it was one of the first systems that was

00:14:14 ◼   ► powerful enough to really do that well

00:14:16 ◼   ► to actually have four player

00:14:17 ◼   ► split-screen and do that reasonably well

00:14:19 ◼   ► and two games really define this for the

00:14:22 ◼   ► time you know I know later on smack but

00:14:24 ◼   ► Master others happen but that was kind

00:14:25 ◼   ► of after my time the first three games

00:14:27 ◼   ► really defined this where Mario Kart 64

00:14:28 ◼   ► and Goldeneye 64 mario kart wii had a

00:14:32 ◼   ► lot of time with that but ultimately

00:14:33 ◼   ► gold and I we had we spent much more

00:14:35 ◼   ► time with and that game sold so many

00:14:39 ◼   ► controllers that game everyone I knew

00:14:44 ◼   ► every high school kid I knew at that

00:14:45 ◼   ► time was plenty of both genders by the

00:14:47 ◼   ► way was playing that game constantly

00:14:49 ◼   ► like every weekend almost every night

00:14:52 ◼   ► we'd go to somebody's house for like a

00:14:54 ◼   ► year and a half and play Goldeneye that

00:14:55 ◼   ► was like the thing we did every time

00:14:57 ◼   ► there was a family party at our house we

00:14:59 ◼   ► would the kids would all go upstairs and

00:15:01 ◼   ► play Goldeneye yeah that's what everyone

00:15:03 ◼   ► would play because it was great because

00:15:04 ◼   ► a lot of people you know relative to

00:15:07 ◼   ► other games could play altogether and

00:15:09 ◼   ► you wouldn't have to wait that long

00:15:11 ◼   ► before you kind of like got rotated in

00:15:13 ◼   ► exactly yeah and that I mean you know

00:15:15 ◼   ► now there are much more advanced games

00:15:17 ◼   ► of like you know the general for player

00:15:19 ◼   ► like shoot you know first-person shooter

00:15:21 ◼   ► on a console and you know

00:15:23 ◼   ► we've gotten much better since then but

00:15:24 ◼   ► Goldeneye was really the first one to do

00:15:26 ◼   ► that well did you play the single-player

00:15:27 ◼   ► I did actually not again not often

00:15:30 ◼   ► because I can only do it at friends

00:15:31 ◼   ► houses but I did play it and it was

00:15:34 ◼   ► decent I only got like a little bit of

00:15:35 ◼   ► the way through before I got kind of

00:15:37 ◼   ► tired of it again this was when I was

00:15:39 ◼   ► older and kind of falling out of games

00:15:40 ◼   ► my brother was starting to play a lot

00:15:42 ◼   ► more at this time in the 64 era but yeah

00:15:46 ◼   ► I mean I played some of it I liked it

00:15:48 ◼   ► the other thing in typical Marco fashion

00:15:50 ◼   ► I laid through the entire single-player

00:15:53 ◼   ► game and played the multiplayer game

00:15:54 ◼   ► quite a lot years before I ever saw the

00:15:56 ◼   ► movie so like when I saw the movie I was

00:15:59 ◼   ► like I know where this is like I'll just

00:16:01 ◼   ► walk down this hallway and there's a guy

00:16:02 ◼   ► there oh this is where the crossbow is

00:16:07 ◼   ► yep exactly

00:16:08 ◼   ► [Laughter]

00:16:10 ◼   ► anyway alright so finally let's move on

00:16:12 ◼   ► to our number four pigs all right so you

00:16:14 ◼   ► were talking about honourable mentions

00:16:16 ◼   ► and I'm gonna talk about this in okay I

00:16:20 ◼   ► wanted to put a Mario Kart on my list

00:16:22 ◼   ► because I my brother and I had a great

00:16:25 ◼   ► time together playing Mario Kart and so

00:16:29 ◼   ► it was a important game but again it was

00:16:32 ◼   ► a lot later that we started to play

00:16:33 ◼   ► Mario Kart so I think it's gonna I'm

00:16:35 ◼   ► gonna bump it back to my honorable

00:16:37 ◼   ► mentions because Mario Kart 64 was way

00:16:40 ◼   ► better than the original Mario Kart yeah

00:16:42 ◼   ► but we play both so all right yeah ok um

00:16:46 ◼   ► I'm feel good that's in the honorable

00:16:47 ◼   ► mentions moving on my number 4 you're

00:16:50 ◼   ► gonna die you're just gonna you're just

00:16:52 ◼   ► gonna stop breathing for a second and

00:16:54 ◼   ► I'm gonna have to revive you it's Mario

00:16:56 ◼   ► - oh my god that game is terrible I know

00:17:02 ◼   ► it's terrible I know my god you know why

00:17:06 ◼   ► I really like real Mario game it is but

00:17:09 ◼   ► listen it's it's his dream they fixed it

00:17:12 ◼   ► Thanks his little wet dream yeah it's

00:17:14 ◼   ► his fever

00:17:15 ◼   ► drug-induced dream he ate too many

00:17:17 ◼   ► mushrooms and he went to sleep and he

00:17:18 ◼   ► had this crazy dream anyway let me say

00:17:22 ◼   ► my reason I'm not saying the reason I

00:17:25 ◼   ► was also debating putting Mario Kart in

00:17:26 ◼   ► here mario 2 was the first time i got to

00:17:30 ◼   ► play as a girl playing as a female

00:17:33 ◼   ► character in a game that i already knew

00:17:36 ◼   ► that was why I loved it I loved playing

00:17:39 ◼   ► as Princess Peach

00:17:41 ◼   ► like I didn't care about princesses and

00:17:43 ◼   ► all of that stuff I just really cared

00:17:45 ◼   ► that I got to play as a female character

00:17:48 ◼   ► and I remember being like that being

00:17:51 ◼   ► exciting to me even as a little kid and

00:17:53 ◼   ► I would only play as her mm-hm and again

00:17:56 ◼   ► it wasn't because she was pink or an

00:17:58 ◼   ► address or anything like that it was

00:17:59 ◼   ► just because she was a she and I felt

00:18:03 ◼   ► like I could I don't know I just I loved

00:18:05 ◼   ► that I loved that I could pick the

00:18:07 ◼   ► different characters and even though it

00:18:10 ◼   ► was kind of fever dreamy I remember

00:18:12 ◼   ► playing it alot and it was right around

00:18:15 ◼   ► the time that I was getting good and and

00:18:17 ◼   ► into games so it was a game that like I

00:18:19 ◼   ► felt like I could play so yeah yeah yeah

00:18:23 ◼   ► I feel good I feel good about it being

00:18:25 ◼   ► my number four

00:18:26 ◼   ► it was almost my number three I almost

00:18:28 ◼   ► moved it up in the ranks all right well

00:18:30 ◼   ► I'm glad you left it there at least yeah

00:18:31 ◼   ► I mean that you gave good reasons that

00:18:33 ◼   ► is you know that's a perspective that

00:18:35 ◼   ► was an important thing for me of course

00:18:37 ◼   ► it was yeah like that makes it the way

00:18:39 ◼   ► you explained it that makes a lot of

00:18:40 ◼   ► sense and I wouldn't have thought of

00:18:41 ◼   ► that obviously cuz I didn't you know

00:18:42 ◼   ► haven't seen perspective growing up

00:18:44 ◼   ► right cuz men have the luxury of not

00:18:45 ◼   ► ever thinking that like the game is this

00:18:47 ◼   ► game gonna be made for me

00:18:48 ◼   ► well it right right but so for me at

00:18:53 ◼   ► that time that was just that was great

00:18:55 ◼   ► for a little girl who likes to play

00:18:56 ◼   ► games and I was I was a young I was a

00:18:59 ◼   ► very young girl who liked to play these

00:19:00 ◼   ► games that I was playing with my dad you

00:19:03 ◼   ► know like yeah so so that was good that

00:19:05 ◼   ► was really good and I actually like how

00:19:08 ◼   ► weird it is I just recently replayed it

00:19:10 ◼   ► with Adam it's super weird there's like

00:19:13 ◼   ► strange mice and but we had it snakes

00:19:16 ◼   ► that was the only Mario or Sonic game

00:19:18 ◼   ► that I refuse to play with I tried and I

00:19:21 ◼   ► got like one at one level in and I was

00:19:23 ◼   ► like I was like no and I even played

00:19:45 ◼   ► with Adam

00:19:46 ◼   ► I did play through incomplete Sonic

00:19:49 ◼   ► Spinball but I did not play Mario - and

00:19:58 ◼   ► also terrible yeah oh and man for Mario

00:20:01 ◼   ► - I love that desert level I just could

00:20:03 ◼   ► dig for days like I just wanted to like

00:20:05 ◼   ► dig the whole level and make sure there

00:20:08 ◼   ► was no sand left that was like a I don't

00:20:11 ◼   ► know what that would be I mean more to

00:20:13 ◼   ► like all the Mario games are acid trips

00:20:16 ◼   ► but Mario to it like take it Mario -

00:20:19 ◼   ► makes all the other ones seem like IBM I

00:20:22 ◼   ► love everything come on that like

00:20:43 ◼   ► and wear it it's gonna be okay alright

00:20:47 ◼   ► my number four is probably the most

00:20:49 ◼   ► boring opposite of that I could have

00:20:51 ◼   ► possibly picked cuz Mario 2 is the most

00:20:54 ◼   ► exciting

00:20:54 ◼   ► oh it's wacky that's for sure my number

00:20:57 ◼   ► four is Tetris for the NES ooh is a

00:21:00 ◼   ► really good one this was 1989 this came

00:21:04 ◼   ► out it Tetris has an interesting history

00:21:06 ◼   ► the game actually existed a couple years

00:21:09 ◼   ► before that but I think what made it big

00:21:11 ◼   ► and well-known was the NES and then Game

00:21:13 ◼   ► Boy versions so Tetris I mean it is

00:21:16 ◼   ► timeless and again Tetris you know like

00:21:19 ◼   ► like Street Fighter 2 Tetris really

00:21:21 ◼   ► defined an entire genre that really

00:21:23 ◼   ► hadn't been done before and it is it is

00:21:27 ◼   ► so infectious it is so compelling like

00:21:30 ◼   ► Tetris is playable by everybody like

00:21:33 ◼   ► whether you're barely even a gamer at

00:21:35 ◼   ► all or whether you're not a gamer at all

00:21:37 ◼   ► all the way up to like if you're like a

00:21:39 ◼   ► pro game competitor they're like Tetris

00:21:41 ◼   ► tournaments like really intense

00:21:43 ◼   ► competition with like really customized

00:21:45 ◼   ► special versions of it this game has

00:21:47 ◼   ► gone everywhere its ubiquitous it is on

00:21:49 ◼   ► every possible computing platform that

00:21:52 ◼   ► can run it even like flip phones which

00:21:55 ◼   ► had almost nothing would almost always

00:21:56 ◼   ► have Tetris available for them graphing

00:22:00 ◼   ► my graphing calculator in high school

00:22:01 ◼   ► that like Tetris is everywhere our son

00:22:04 ◼   ► what did he call it the city game

00:22:06 ◼   ► something like that these big towers of

00:22:10 ◼   ► blocks yeah I mean Tetris is everywhere

00:22:12 ◼   ► I spent a lot of time playing it mostly

00:22:14 ◼   ► on my graphing calculator but it is it

00:22:17 ◼   ► is a great game and I feel unfortunately

00:22:19 ◼   ► in the current era of most casual gaming

00:22:22 ◼   ► happening on touchscreens

00:22:23 ◼   ► it's kind of a shame because Tetris

00:22:25 ◼   ► sucks on touchscreens you really need a

00:22:27 ◼   ► d-pad and buttons to do it well and

00:22:29 ◼   ► there are iPhone versions but they're

00:22:31 ◼   ► not very good for that reason I do kind

00:22:33 ◼   ► of miss Tetris in my in my modern casual

00:22:37 ◼   ► gaming in the rare times that happens

00:22:39 ◼   ► because it's almost you know I'm always

00:22:40 ◼   ► doing that on an iPhone or an iPad and

00:22:41 ◼   ► Tetris just has no no place on the

00:22:44 ◼   ► touchscreen at least you have this cool

00:22:45 ◼   ► test relate that we got you for Father's

00:22:47 ◼   ► Day that's true yeah oh also I wanted to

00:22:49 ◼   ► mention Tetris is so good it not only

00:22:51 ◼   ► did it define a genre but the things the

00:22:54 ◼   ► other entries in the genre are

00:22:56 ◼   ► themselves often so good they could have

00:22:58 ◼   ► made my list like I put dr. Mario as a

00:23:01 ◼   ► potential like amazing Tetris like game

00:23:04 ◼   ► like you know if not for Tetris dr.

00:23:05 ◼   ► Mario wouldn't certainly wouldn't exist

00:23:07 ◼   ► also poyo poyo which I played as dr.

00:23:10 ◼   ► Robotnik's mean bean machine that game

00:23:13 ◼   ► is amazing it's so fun and especially

00:23:15 ◼   ► multiplayer on both dr. Mario and poyo

00:23:18 ◼   ► poyo

00:23:18 ◼   ► the end like these these were really

00:23:20 ◼   ► kind of Tetris kind of spin-offs both of

00:23:23 ◼   ► them amazing games in themselves not to

00:23:25 ◼   ► mention the amazingness of the original

00:23:26 ◼   ► Tetris like it's again it's like this

00:23:28 ◼   ► historic ubiquitous timeless game that

00:23:32 ◼   ► spawned an entire category of other

00:23:34 ◼   ► amazing games like that can't that can't

00:23:36 ◼   ► go pass without getting on my list

00:23:38 ◼   ► awesome that's a really good pick I've

00:23:40 ◼   ► totally forgot about Tetris honestly all

00:26:30 ◼   ► Zelda games and the Final Fantasy games

00:26:32 ◼   ► which I never got into but she did so

00:26:34 ◼   ► all of the grandkids would always be

00:26:52 ◼   ► I have recently just played through it

00:26:55 ◼   ► with Adam and he really loved it and he

00:26:58 ◼   ► loved it so much that he wants to be

00:27:00 ◼   ► linked for Halloween so I'm pretty

00:27:02 ◼   ► excited about that

00:27:03 ◼   ► that's awesome yeah I feel like that is

00:27:05 ◼   ► an achievement I have unlocked I'm gonna

00:27:09 ◼   ► get a badge for that one when I make his

00:27:10 ◼   ► adorable little Zelda costume I can't

00:27:13 ◼   ► wait so legends of Zelda it was very

00:27:16 ◼   ► hard it wasn't that long of a game but

00:27:19 ◼   ► it was tricky I just really like the the

00:27:21 ◼   ► dungeon concept I really liked the

00:27:23 ◼   ► foraging concept and I think that and it

00:27:27 ◼   ► you know gaining pieces of equipment to

00:27:30 ◼   ► better your journey so this was the

00:27:32 ◼   ► first time I had a game like that that I

00:27:35 ◼   ► really attached to so yeah I'm a big fan

00:27:40 ◼   ► of the franchise and probably not as

00:27:43 ◼   ► much as siracusa because I eventually

00:27:44 ◼   ► stopped playing them at around winwaker

00:27:47 ◼   ► because i could not stand sailing all

00:27:49 ◼   ► those stupid boats all over the place it

00:27:51 ◼   ► was so damn boring anyway Legend of

00:27:55 ◼   ► Zelda number 4 sound pick thanks I'm

00:27:58 ◼   ► gonna go with another game from that

00:28:00 ◼   ► time period that's my number 4 or my

00:28:03 ◼   ► number 3 rather is Super Mario Brothers

00:28:06 ◼   ► 3 you know the Mario series overall is

00:28:09 ◼   ► excellent but but to me there there are

00:28:10 ◼   ► there are a couple of really clear

00:28:13 ◼   ► standouts here Mario 3 is one of them

00:28:14 ◼   ► this is considered by many people we

00:28:16 ◼   ► were like one of the best games ever

00:28:17 ◼   ► made so I'm not alone here

00:28:19 ◼   ► Mario 3 at the time if this was a huge

00:28:22 ◼   ► leap forward in platformer games long

00:28:24 ◼   ► with Mario - sorry no God no I like how

00:28:29 ◼   ► it come by how it was I think one of the

00:28:30 ◼   ► first major platform games to

00:28:32 ◼   ► incorporate the level map mm-hmm and to

00:28:34 ◼   ► have the map be like kind of a mini game

00:28:36 ◼   ► in itself you could like you know that

00:28:38 ◼   ► you could like find hidden areas in the

00:28:39 ◼   ► map you could go around and

00:28:41 ◼   ► hammer brothers moved yeah the hammer

00:28:43 ◼   ► brothers move the ship moved you could

00:28:44 ◼   ► skip certain levels optionally you could

00:28:46 ◼   ► choose like if you really hated like you

00:28:48 ◼   ► know level one three but you could do

00:28:49 ◼   ► level one for you can you could go

00:28:51 ◼   ► around and kind of skip one of them who

00:28:53 ◼   ► would do forward that's that was the

00:28:54 ◼   ► floating one I don't actually get that

00:28:56 ◼   ► yeah four was the worst that was the one

00:28:57 ◼   ► everyone's gift I know yeah when I was

00:28:59 ◼   ► playing through with Adam I made myself

00:29:02 ◼   ► a rule that I had to play all the levels

00:29:04 ◼   ► and that was when I regret immediately

00:29:06 ◼   ► was like getting one for like oh god I

00:29:08 ◼   ► have to finish this but I did I did

00:29:10 ◼   ► finish I didn't use any warping and

00:29:12 ◼   ► played every level in the game I did

00:29:14 ◼   ► like the warping whistle aspect of that

00:29:16 ◼   ► game and all the secret stuff oh yeah I

00:29:19 ◼   ► mean that was fun

00:29:20 ◼   ► although Mario one had had warping

00:29:21 ◼   ► whistles - or warping at least warping

00:29:23 ◼   ► pipes but you had to find this yeah yeah

00:29:25 ◼   ► you can go above yeah yeah yeah but but

00:29:29 ◼   ► over like Mario 3 I really think added

00:29:31 ◼   ► so much dimension in this game it

00:29:33 ◼   ► introduced the the items and the

00:29:35 ◼   ► inventory that persisted between levels

00:29:36 ◼   ► you could have like special items and

00:29:38 ◼   ► choose to use though this level I could

00:29:39 ◼   ► really use like you know a star for the

00:29:41 ◼   ► first little quick scene in full of

00:29:43 ◼   ► Hammer Rose I can get it right through

00:29:44 ◼   ► that you know it and and the items were

00:29:46 ◼   ► very varied like and more varied than

00:29:49 ◼   ► than most other Mario games that I've

00:29:50 ◼   ► ever played

00:29:51 ◼   ► maybe all Mario ever played like like

00:29:54 ◼   ► you know even like Mario world like had

00:29:55 ◼   ► way fewer items and power-ups you know

00:29:57 ◼   ► Super Mario 3 had just a ridiculous

00:30:01 ◼   ► amount of stuff I loved all the suits

00:30:02 ◼   ► you could wear exactly that was so much

00:30:04 ◼   ► fun it was the raccoon suit and what's

00:30:06 ◼   ► the one where it like froze you that was

00:30:08 ◼   ► the Tanooki suit yeah I loved that I was

00:30:11 ◼   ► like riding boots yeah yeah there's like

00:30:14 ◼   ► one level of world 5

00:30:15 ◼   ► it's the boot level and it's like it's

00:30:17 ◼   ► so fun and I love the boot level but

00:30:19 ◼   ► there's so many things in Mario 3 like

00:30:21 ◼   ► that where it's like you just get like

00:30:22 ◼   ► one level something really cool or like

00:30:24 ◼   ► like I mentioned some of us before what

00:30:25 ◼   ► the hammer brothers suit there the

00:30:27 ◼   ► sledge hammer suit it's one of the

00:30:28 ◼   ► power-ups you only you're lucky if you

00:30:30 ◼   ► get one in the game generally you'll get

00:30:33 ◼   ► you'll get like one at most I think the

00:30:34 ◼   ► most they'll give you is two and the

00:30:37 ◼   ► sledge hammer shoe is amazing you can

00:30:38 ◼   ► kill everything in the game with

00:30:39 ◼   ► including like you know things like the

00:30:42 ◼   ► like the thwomps the big rocks that fall

00:30:44 ◼   ► on you and the castle is like you can

00:30:45 ◼   ► kill everything with sledge hammers

00:30:46 ◼   ► they're so fun but they only give you

00:30:48 ◼   ► like one of these suits in the game so

00:30:49 ◼   ► you have it until you get hit and it's

00:30:50 ◼   ► just gone that's alright well that's all

00:30:52 ◼   ► you get like the boot they didn't find

00:30:53 ◼   ► that this whole other mechanic

00:30:54 ◼   ► that's only in one level and again if

00:30:56 ◼   ► you get hit it's just over and they know

00:30:58 ◼   ► the other boot you have to kick the

00:31:01 ◼   ► dudes out of the boot well yeah but only

00:31:02 ◼   ► in that one level yeah yeah only in the

00:31:04 ◼   ► one level and those dude rolling in one

00:31:05 ◼   ► part of it like it's there's so many

00:31:08 ◼   ► these little these I like to cut the

00:31:10 ◼   ► ships too you have to change the ship

00:31:12 ◼   ► around and fly on the map yeah I mean

00:31:14 ◼   ► Mario 3 is so intricate and and also a

00:31:18 ◼   ► very big game considering this is back

00:31:20 ◼   ► you know back then in in the in the old

00:31:22 ◼   ► consoles they were very limited by how

00:31:25 ◼   ► much memory the cartridges had because

00:31:27 ◼   ► cartridge memory was very expensive so

00:31:29 ◼   ► they had to fit the game into very small

00:31:31 ◼   ► memory and that was often one of the

00:31:33 ◼   ► main limiting factors in how long game

00:31:35 ◼   ► could be so any game that that managed

00:31:37 ◼   ► to be on on an affordable cartridge that

00:31:40 ◼   ► was also very long had lots of levels

00:31:42 ◼   ► was was pretty impressive and pretty

00:31:44 ◼   ► rare and then Mario 3 just like if you

00:31:48 ◼   ► look at all the other games for the NES

00:31:50 ◼   ► and how good they are and how good their

00:31:52 ◼   ► graphics are how good their sound and

00:31:54 ◼   ► music is compare any other NES game -

00:31:57 ◼   ► Mario 3 and you just like min.i it's

00:31:59 ◼   ► amazing they fit this game on the NES it

00:32:02 ◼   ► was it was a huge I don't even think I

00:32:03 ◼   ► played through the entire game because I

00:32:05 ◼   ► would just use the warping whistle

00:32:06 ◼   ► you should play through with that if

00:32:08 ◼   ► it's fun yeah I should if they're very

00:32:10 ◼   ► hard they're harder than you remember

00:32:12 ◼   ► because you don't have the muscle memory

00:32:14 ◼   ► you used to when you were a kid and

00:32:15 ◼   ► you're just like let me just fly through

00:32:16 ◼   ► this section I don't know you're so good

00:32:18 ◼   ► at it and now I feel like I'm an old

00:32:20 ◼   ► feeble person like falling over my thumb

00:32:23 ◼   ► because I can't recreate what I used to

00:32:26 ◼   ► be able to do so second nature you know

00:32:29 ◼   ► that muscle memory is just gone and you

00:32:32 ◼   ► get into it yeah like I I was taking a

00:32:35 ◼   ► bear thing how bad you are at first

00:32:36 ◼   ► though yeah I was terrible for using a

00:32:39 ◼   ► week or so but but after about a week I

00:32:41 ◼   ► kind of got back into it mm-hmm okay I

00:32:43 ◼   ► should try it because I really did like

00:32:45 ◼   ► Mario 3 I played a lot of that it was

00:32:47 ◼   ► great it really holds up yeah alright

00:32:49 ◼   ► what's your number two right yeah number

00:32:53 ◼   ► two I'm going with Super Mario World cuz

00:32:56 ◼   ► okay that game was a game changer anyway

00:33:00 ◼   ► so Eddy work anyway so I've loved this

00:33:08 ◼   ► game it was so much fun to go through

00:33:10 ◼   ► all the worlds and find the secret

00:33:12 ◼   ► passages I love the cute little ghosts

00:33:14 ◼   ► there's no little booze and the big boot

00:33:18 ◼   ► just finding all of the different things

00:33:20 ◼   ► and then at the end changing spoiler

00:33:23 ◼   ► changing the world all different colors

00:33:25 ◼   ► and the star levels and the different

00:33:27 ◼   ► color Yoshi is there was just so much

00:33:29 ◼   ► going on in this game and when you first

00:33:31 ◼   ► step into this game the first time you

00:33:34 ◼   ► turn it on and picture yourself is like

00:33:36 ◼   ► you just came off of NES games and now

00:33:39 ◼   ► the Super Nintendo shows up and you put

00:33:42 ◼   ► this game in and you are Mario on top of

00:33:47 ◼   ► a little Yoshi pretty much eating this

00:33:49 ◼   ► adorable little fruit off of these trees

00:33:53 ◼   ► and everything's so bright and

00:33:54 ◼   ► everything so colorful it's all like

00:33:56 ◼   ► candy it looks like it just looks like

00:33:58 ◼   ► visual video game candy and you're a kid

00:34:02 ◼   ► and you are just ready to devour the

00:34:06 ◼   ► entire thing because it it was just so

00:34:09 ◼   ► joyful and wonderful and in addition to

00:34:13 ◼   ► the joy and the wonder of the game it

00:34:15 ◼   ► was hard and it was challenging and you

00:34:19 ◼   ► had to think about stuff and you had to

00:34:20 ◼   ► go through secret spots and it was it

00:34:23 ◼   ► was just really great and I have really

00:34:25 ◼   ► good memories of this game and it was

00:34:27 ◼   ► kind of I was of the age where I could

00:34:29 ◼   ► accomplish more in a game so this is

00:34:32 ◼   ► probably one of the first games that I

00:34:33 ◼   ► play it all the way through by myself as

00:34:36 ◼   ► you know as it being a new game you know

00:34:39 ◼   ► some of the older games I of course went

00:34:40 ◼   ► back and played through when I was a

00:34:42 ◼   ► little bit older but this was the first

00:34:44 ◼   ► one that I could play through right away

00:34:46 ◼   ► when it first came out so yeah Super

00:34:49 ◼   ► Mario World so great and I just loved

00:34:53 ◼   ► every part of it solid pick alright my

00:34:57 ◼   ► number two and this is kind of a weird

00:34:59 ◼   ► one I wasn't sure if this counted but

00:35:01 ◼   ► because it's top four I'm going to make

00:35:02 ◼   ► it count this is Sonic and Knuckles with

00:35:06 ◼   ► Sonic 3 locked on so most people don't

00:35:10 ◼   ► weren't aware of this because this

00:35:12 ◼   ► wasn't very very big hit I don't think

00:35:13 ◼   ► but but something in my ears was was

00:35:16 ◼   ► like kind of the last good Sonic game

00:35:18 ◼   ► for the Genesis the last like

00:35:19 ◼   ► traditional styled one at least so

00:35:21 ◼   ► it had it was a cartridge that wins the

00:35:23 ◼   ► Genesis but on top of the sonic Knuckles

00:35:24 ◼   ► cartridge was a second cartridge slot

00:35:27 ◼   ► and you could put Sonic 2 or Sonic 3 on

00:35:31 ◼   ► top of the cartridge making this

00:35:32 ◼   ► tremendous stupid looking pile and then

00:35:35 ◼   ► it would basically add Knuckles into

00:35:38 ◼   ► those games so you could play as

00:35:39 ◼   ► knuckles through Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 and

00:35:42 ◼   ► Sonic Sonic 3 was kind of a half game

00:35:45 ◼   ► because cyma 2 this was like made

00:35:48 ◼   ► independently but when Sonic 3 came out

00:35:50 ◼   ► they made it with Sonic and Knuckles in

00:35:52 ◼   ► mind so it was kind of like the first

00:35:55 ◼   ► half of what should have been a much

00:35:56 ◼   ► larger game and they were like spots in

00:35:58 ◼   ► Sonic 3 that was like oh here's like a

00:36:00 ◼   ► rock wall that looks obviously breakable

00:36:02 ◼   ► but Sonic can't break it and there's

00:36:03 ◼   ► like oh there's like a path behind it

00:36:05 ◼   ► and you can't see where it goes like

00:36:07 ◼   ► there's more level there how do you get

00:36:08 ◼   ► there and the answer came later which

00:36:10 ◼   ► was oh you you buy sonic a knuckles and

00:36:12 ◼   ► then knuckles can break through that

00:36:13 ◼   ► wall when you're playing as him but it

00:36:15 ◼   ► was when when you had the two games

00:36:17 ◼   ► together it formed this like massive

00:36:21 ◼   ► mega Sonic game that it blows away all

00:36:26 ◼   ► the other Sonic games it like Sonic and

00:36:28 ◼   ► Knuckles with Sonic 3 you know first of

00:36:30 ◼   ► all I thought the whole lock-on concept

00:36:32 ◼   ► was cool and interesting technically at

00:36:33 ◼   ► the time but this the resulting game it

00:36:37 ◼   ► was massive it was it has hours and

00:36:40 ◼   ► hours of gameplay the levels are huge

00:36:42 ◼   ► because you basically have to Sonic

00:36:44 ◼   ► include together you have multiple

00:36:45 ◼   ► levels you have all their bonus stages

00:36:47 ◼   ► intertwined throughout so there's like

00:36:49 ◼   ► six different kind of bonus stages one

00:36:51 ◼   ► thing I noticed a lot about Sonic and

00:36:52 ◼   ► Knuckles I'm playing through is that

00:36:53 ◼   ► compared to the other Sonic games

00:36:55 ◼   ► it has especially good music like the

00:36:58 ◼   ► music of Sonic no just sticks in my head

00:37:00 ◼   ► so much also the enemies are a lot

00:37:03 ◼   ► harder than most like just like the

00:37:04 ◼   ► everyday level enemies are much harder

00:37:06 ◼   ► in Sonic Mode there's an excellent long

00:37:10 ◼   ► story arc building to what I would

00:37:13 ◼   ► consider probably the best final bosses

00:37:15 ◼   ► and final boss levels in the entire

00:37:17 ◼   ► generation knuckles mode is is not quite

00:37:20 ◼   ► as good as a little bit shorter but it

00:37:22 ◼   ► actually is different enough to be worth

00:37:23 ◼   ► playing if you're a super fan like I am

00:37:25 ◼   ► and and again like we were saying about

00:37:27 ◼   ► how Mario 3 kind of embarrassed other

00:37:30 ◼   ► NES games I would say Sonic and Knuckles

00:37:32 ◼   ► with Sonic 3 really embarrassed is

00:37:34 ◼   ► almost everyone

00:37:35 ◼   ► game in just how incredibly good it is

00:37:38 ◼   ► graphics music depth even just overall

00:37:41 ◼   ► fun an amazing amazing game that's my

00:37:45 ◼   ► number two I never got into the Sonic

00:37:46 ◼   ► games my brother really liked them and

00:37:49 ◼   ► we had a Genesis we were one of those

00:37:51 ◼   ► terrible families that had you've got

00:37:53 ◼   ► all those two of the same generation

00:37:56 ◼   ► system we had a Genesis and a Super

00:37:59 ◼   ► Nintendo at the same time anyway so that

00:38:03 ◼   ► was the only time that that ever

00:38:04 ◼   ► happened we then went forth with

00:38:06 ◼   ► Nintendo holdings and oh yeah

00:38:08 ◼   ► well honestly I mean the Sega Master

00:38:10 ◼   ► System really was not a very competitive

00:38:12 ◼   ► system yet the NES owned that generation

00:38:14 ◼   ► and then after you know after the 16-bit

00:38:18 ◼   ► era with the n64 versus Sega Saturn and

00:38:22 ◼   ► then you know Dreamcast came later and

00:38:24 ◼   ► they're like say basically the Genesis

00:38:26 ◼   ► was the only System Sega ever made that

00:38:28 ◼   ► was really successful

00:38:29 ◼   ► what was the Sega leg laserdisc one well

00:38:32 ◼   ► if the Sega CD and then there was a 32x

00:38:34 ◼   ► I mean like sick I had a long string of

00:38:37 ◼   ► not great products after the Genesis and

00:38:39 ◼   ► I don't think either of us really played

00:38:41 ◼   ► it any original PlayStation either you

00:38:43 ◼   ► know the original PlayStation was a crap

00:38:45 ◼   ► system that was it is sometimes they

00:38:47 ◼   ► were mad at the controllers they hit

00:38:49 ◼   ► shapes so weird with other time losses

00:38:51 ◼   ► badly and in that case the market shows

00:38:54 ◼   ► badly like that the original PlayStation

00:38:56 ◼   ► was I mean part of the reason was like

00:38:59 ◼   ► cd-rom games back then they were loading

00:39:01 ◼   ► off of these 1x cd-rom drives they were

00:39:04 ◼   ► incredibly slow to load the disk would

00:39:06 ◼   ► get scratched and break all the time and

00:39:08 ◼   ► they they these systems were 3d capable

00:39:11 ◼   ► but they could they couldn't do 3d well

00:39:14 ◼   ► so you had these like crappy like low

00:39:16 ◼   ► polygon lobe you know blurry big

00:39:18 ◼   ► textures everything was like a flat wall

00:39:20 ◼   ► you walk down the hallways and what they

00:39:22 ◼   ► would like warp you know that first

00:39:24 ◼   ► generation of like Saturn and

00:39:25 ◼   ► PlayStation one was just so bad a 3d the

00:39:28 ◼   ► the first lesson was your 3d well was

00:39:30 ◼   ► n64 and even it just barely did it well

00:39:32 ◼   ► but anyway you're number one my number

00:39:35 ◼   ► one is Mario to number four and number

00:39:42 ◼   ► one anyway my number one is the Legend

00:39:44 ◼   ► of Zelda a link to the past which is the

00:39:46 ◼   ► Zelda on Super Nintendo this game

00:39:49 ◼   ► very much like why I picked Mario the

00:39:54 ◼   ► Super Mario World is because it again

00:39:57 ◼   ► it just looks beautiful that a suit when

00:40:00 ◼   ► you go from that 8-bit world of the NES

00:40:04 ◼   ► and you jump into the Super Nintendo

00:40:06 ◼   ► unless you were alive during that time

00:40:08 ◼   ► and it was a big thing for you and the

00:40:11 ◼   ► first time you saw these games and how

00:40:14 ◼   ► great they looked how much they looked

00:40:16 ◼   ► like a cartoon you were normally used to

00:40:18 ◼   ► watching and just the age of wonder that

00:40:21 ◼   ► you that we were at that time when these

00:40:23 ◼   ► came out seeing Zelda and I should say

00:40:27 ◼   ► seeing link in that light and in that

00:40:30 ◼   ► world and the way that they were able to

00:40:33 ◼   ► navigate through the world and the way

00:40:34 ◼   ► things had so much more texture and

00:40:36 ◼   ► depth and the puzzles in the water and

00:40:40 ◼   ► definitely the way the map was just the

00:40:44 ◼   ► map itself is very beautiful to look at

00:40:47 ◼   ► and the way you got to interact with

00:40:48 ◼   ► other characters it just made the game

00:40:51 ◼   ► come alive like you couldn't believe I

00:40:54 ◼   ► mean just like playing a little flute

00:40:56 ◼   ► and seeing the little animals scurrying

00:40:58 ◼   ► around like having all of that they're

00:41:01 ◼   ► just brought this game alive and again I

00:41:04 ◼   ► love that I love the Zelda games because

00:41:07 ◼   ► of the collecting aspect of it I like

00:41:10 ◼   ► the sword fighting the arrows I like

00:41:14 ◼   ► getting all the different boots and

00:41:17 ◼   ► tunics and all this kind of like I like

00:41:18 ◼   ► gathering all that kind of stuff you get

00:41:20 ◼   ► the flippers from the people in the

00:41:22 ◼   ► water anyway so there's so much great

00:41:25 ◼   ► stuff I was very into fairies and all of

00:41:28 ◼   ► that fantasy world when I was younger so

00:41:31 ◼   ► that just really really appealed to me

00:41:33 ◼   ► and the first time seeing a Link to the

00:41:36 ◼   ► Past

00:41:36 ◼   ► it just it was great I loved every part

00:41:41 ◼   ► of it and again this was another game

00:41:42 ◼   ► that on my own I was able to play

00:41:45 ◼   ► through all the way and it was just

00:41:48 ◼   ► delightful and yes

00:41:50 ◼   ► Zelda Link to the Past number one a very

00:41:54 ◼   ► solid pick also thanks alright my number

00:41:57 ◼   ► one the reason I didn't say much about

00:41:59 ◼   ► your Mario world picks but my number one

00:42:01 ◼   ► is Super Mario World for the Super and

00:42:03 ◼   ► yeah which is and this is this is a

00:42:05 ◼   ► tough pick to make because I didn't own

00:42:07 ◼   ► a Super Nintendo as I said I was a

00:42:09 ◼   ► Genesis owner but you got to play how

00:42:11 ◼   ► did you play all these games I ended up

00:42:13 ◼   ► playing mode I mean I some of these like

00:42:15 ◼   ► Mario actually did play that time just

00:42:17 ◼   ► at friends houses some of the other ones

00:42:19 ◼   ► like Super Metroid said I played later

00:42:21 ◼   ► on like emulated in college but really

00:42:24 ◼   ► Mario World

00:42:25 ◼   ► I mean to the rest of the road when I

00:42:28 ◼   ► was talking earlier about Street Fighter

00:42:29 ◼   ► to like kind of taking the world by

00:42:30 ◼   ► storm and like blowing everybody away it

00:42:33 ◼   ► did that for me but not nearly as much

00:42:35 ◼   ► as it could've because I wasn't that

00:42:37 ◼   ► into fighting style games really but I

00:42:40 ◼   ► was very much into platformers like

00:42:42 ◼   ► platformers were like might might like

00:42:44 ◼   ► that that is the only kind of game I

00:42:45 ◼   ► really played it in in in great length

00:42:49 ◼   ► at great length on those generation of

00:42:51 ◼   ► consoles as a Genesis owner very few

00:42:54 ◼   ► Super Nintendo games ever made me think

00:42:56 ◼   ► man I wish I had a Super Nintendo right

00:42:57 ◼   ► now but Super Mario World did that in in

00:43:01 ◼   ► spades I mean Super Mario World it for

00:43:04 ◼   ► Genesis owner because the gym just came

00:43:06 ◼   ► out first for a Genesis owner to then

00:43:08 ◼   ► see that for the first time to see Mario

00:43:12 ◼   ► well for the first time I think all of

00:43:14 ◼   ► us were just like oh crap that's really

00:43:15 ◼   ► good like oh crap we might have bought

00:43:18 ◼   ► the wrong system or we wish we had this

00:43:19 ◼   ► system right now it is so so good and

00:43:23 ◼   ► you know in all the ways that I

00:43:24 ◼   ► described earlier about how you know

00:43:26 ◼   ► compared to other games in the system it

00:43:27 ◼   ► really does embarrass most of them like

00:43:28 ◼   ► compared to most Super Nintendo games

00:43:30 ◼   ► Mario World really does embarrass the

00:43:32 ◼   ► crap out of them like it's such a game

00:43:33 ◼   ► but yeah I have to say though when

00:43:36 ◼   ► you're saying you know you got the

00:43:37 ◼   ► Genesis and Genesis owners were

00:43:39 ◼   ► embarrassed when they saw Summer Games

00:43:40 ◼   ► NES owners were embarrassed once they

00:43:43 ◼   ► saw Genesis games yeah of course when

00:43:46 ◼   ► you saw that first Genesis game when you

00:43:48 ◼   ► saw altered beast for the first time it

00:43:51 ◼   ► isn't oh that just blew my mind so fast

00:43:54 ◼   ► I could not believe that a game could

00:43:57 ◼   ► look like that I am no grave I just it

00:44:00 ◼   ► was affected me in a very deep way thank

00:44:03 ◼   ► you altered beast and then Ecco the

00:44:05 ◼   ► Dolphin after that but it was mostly

00:44:06 ◼   ► altered it's a big gap between us well

00:44:09 ◼   ► if by the time we got our Genesis it

00:44:11 ◼   ► came with Ecco the Dolphin yeah that's

00:44:12 ◼   ► and when my stall of Sonic in the middle

00:44:14 ◼   ► of a well

00:44:15 ◼   ► we got the gate sonic games too but like

00:44:17 ◼   ► you know my uncle when he first brought

00:44:18 ◼   ► home the Genesis it came home with

00:44:20 ◼   ► altered beast yeah and yeah when games

00:44:22 ◼   ► when consoles used to come with games

00:44:24 ◼   ► that uh certain bundles do you I mean no

00:44:28 ◼   ► I mean like my Genesis came with altered

00:44:30 ◼   ► beast and that was the only game I had

00:44:32 ◼   ► the flitter over the first six months I

00:44:33 ◼   ► had a Genesis the only game I had was

00:44:35 ◼   ► altered fees like for level yeah I think

00:44:37 ◼   ► it's six yeah it's it was not not a

00:44:41 ◼   ► great game

00:44:42 ◼   ► power up anyway welcome to your doom so

00:44:46 ◼   ► mario world you know going back to the

00:44:48 ◼   ► Super Mario for the Super Nintendo I

00:44:49 ◼   ► mean this game like I I remember when I

00:44:51 ◼   ► first saw it at at my neighbor's house

00:44:54 ◼   ► who'd gotten you know the soup of the

00:44:55 ◼   ► brand new Super Nintendo what really

00:44:56 ◼   ► blew me away about it was not only the

00:44:59 ◼   ► graphics as you said like that so the

00:45:01 ◼   ► genesis had focused a lot on sheer

00:45:03 ◼   ► processor power to drive a whole bunch

00:45:05 ◼   ► of stuff on screen like so the genesis

00:45:08 ◼   ► was good if you had like a sports game

00:45:09 ◼   ► like a football game where you have to

00:45:11 ◼   ► animate like 16 different sprites on the

00:45:13 ◼   ► screen at once Genesis could do that

00:45:15 ◼   ► better than Super Nintendo where the

00:45:17 ◼   ► Super Nintendo was better was in the the

00:45:19 ◼   ► level of detail that individual graphics

00:45:22 ◼   ► could have so it had more colors it had

00:45:25 ◼   ► I think I had way better sound chip and

00:45:28 ◼   ► so it'd be it kind of what it was able

00:45:31 ◼   ► to show on screen was like fewer moving

00:45:33 ◼   ► on just like fewer things but those

00:45:36 ◼   ► things could look way better than other

00:45:37 ◼   ► Genesis and so that's like kind of what

00:45:39 ◼   ► what I noticed immediately when I when I

00:45:41 ◼   ► first saw Mario World

00:45:42 ◼   ► not only how just amazing the colorful

00:45:44 ◼   ► graphics were like that you could tell

00:45:46 ◼   ► immediately this was like a massive leap

00:45:49 ◼   ► forward and then I also do remember the

00:45:51 ◼   ► sound being a really big thing like when

00:45:53 ◼   ► he first moved to the cave levels oh and

00:45:55 ◼   ► all the sounds echo yes I love that I

00:45:58 ◼   ► don't think I think that was the first

00:45:59 ◼   ► game I ever saw that where like the

00:46:02 ◼   ► sound would have echo effects would go

00:46:05 ◼   ► like the dripping noise and yeah yeah

00:46:07 ◼   ► that's something it had ambience to like

00:46:11 ◼   ► it like and a lot of the ambience was

00:46:13 ◼   ► simply just some of the enemy noises

00:46:14 ◼   ► being different like when you were in

00:46:15 ◼   ► the cave hear the birds flapping away

00:46:16 ◼   ► mm-hmm well when you did it you were on

00:46:19 ◼   ► the spring in the cave and it how how

00:46:21 ◼   ► that would echo or like if you if you

00:46:23 ◼   ► like if you threw a shell you got the

00:46:25 ◼   ► blue you know with like at that part

00:46:26 ◼   ► would echo like it was it did such a

00:46:28 ◼   ► great

00:46:29 ◼   ► of sound design and of ambience and of

00:46:31 ◼   ► graphic design that it really made you

00:46:33 ◼   ► feel like you were moving through these

00:46:34 ◼   ► different advanced places more so than

00:46:36 ◼   ► much of the games and of course you know

00:46:37 ◼   ► I love the sound of the bubbles popping

00:46:39 ◼   ► in the forest in the fall yeah

00:46:42 ◼   ► ballistic yeah yeah yeah the level

00:46:44 ◼   ► reading all the lives yeah yeah I mean

00:46:47 ◼   ► it's just incredible game and again like

00:46:51 ◼   ► compared to most other platformers the

00:46:52 ◼   ► level of depth you have in that game

00:46:54 ◼   ► there are so many levels first of all

00:46:56 ◼   ► and so many levels have two different

00:46:59 ◼   ► ways to leave have you alternate exits

00:47:01 ◼   ► and you like you have to find the old

00:47:02 ◼   ► friend I just to get to certain parts of

00:47:04 ◼   ► the map or to finish certain levels and

00:47:05 ◼   ► like just the amount of depth in that

00:47:08 ◼   ► game it was also one of the first

00:47:09 ◼   ► platforms where you could replay levels

00:47:10 ◼   ► mm-hmm that was another another

00:47:12 ◼   ► innovation like most games before that

00:47:14 ◼   ► most platforms you couldn't replay

00:47:15 ◼   ► levels infinite times and that was one

00:47:17 ◼   ► you'd go back to certain levels to get

00:47:19 ◼   ► certain stuff right or to find the

00:47:20 ◼   ► second exit so you kind of had to go

00:47:22 ◼   ► back to different levels you actually

00:47:23 ◼   ► wanted to play the full game which was

00:47:25 ◼   ► that was actually very fun was

00:47:27 ◼   ► remembering oh let me go back here and

00:47:28 ◼   ► get the blue Yoshi instead and yeah

00:47:31 ◼   ► Mario World and you know as a Genesis

00:47:34 ◼   ► owner I only had one Jenna's game on my

00:47:36 ◼   ► list like this for good reasons like I

00:47:38 ◼   ► was able to play all these afterwards

00:47:39 ◼   ► and some during that time and and I

00:47:42 ◼   ► think overall while there were some

00:47:44 ◼   ► really great Genesis games the best

00:47:46 ◼   ► games of the generation were on

00:47:48 ◼   ► incentive platforms of both 8 and 16-bit

00:47:50 ◼   ► and and even after it you know even the

00:47:52 ◼   ► n64 generation I'd say the same thing

00:47:53 ◼   ► which is you know it kind of hurts as a

00:47:57 ◼   ► second person to say that but it these

00:47:59 ◼   ► games were just so good at Mario World

00:48:02 ◼   ► by far is the one that that like draws

00:48:04 ◼   ► me back in whenever I see it and like I

00:48:06 ◼   ► want to play it more than any other ones

00:48:08 ◼   ► it's pull you back in yeah and now I'm

00:48:10 ◼   ► probably gonna play it again after this

00:48:11 ◼   ► cuz I haven't that was that was the

00:48:12 ◼   ► first one I played on the emulator with

00:48:14 ◼   ► Adam that was like two months ago so

00:48:16 ◼   ► like now I want to go back and and start

00:48:18 ◼   ► that again because I now I played

00:48:19 ◼   ► through all the Sonics all the other

00:48:20 ◼   ► Mario's I did the mm mm you know all

00:48:24 ◼   ► those yeah I have to say that my top

00:48:27 ◼   ► Zelda pick is my favorite Zelda game

00:48:29 ◼   ► period yeah the supers had no one yeah

00:48:31 ◼   ► it was great after that it just started

00:48:33 ◼   ► getting weird yeah anything all right so

00:48:35 ◼   ► I think that's it for now

00:48:36 ◼   ► right that's that's if it's episode

00:48:38 ◼   ► right yeah I mean I was really expecting

00:48:40 ◼   ► you to have a lot more sonic games I was

00:48:42 ◼   ► I fir

00:48:42 ◼   ► got about Tetris so I'm not surprised

00:48:44 ◼   ► about that because I do know how when

00:48:45 ◼   ► she really liked that I've gotten you

00:48:47 ◼   ► various tetris gifts throughout the

00:48:48 ◼   ► years but I completely am surprised that

00:48:51 ◼   ► you went more mario instead of more

00:48:54 ◼   ► sonic that's the thing I mean like I

00:48:56 ◼   ► love the Sonic games and I you know they

00:48:59 ◼   ► will always hold a special place in my

00:49:00 ◼   ► in my nostalgic heart because that's

00:49:02 ◼   ► what I had growing up we still have your

00:49:04 ◼   ► Sega in the Attic yeah you know and and

00:49:06 ◼   ► Sonic and uncles with Sonic 3 was my top

00:49:08 ◼   ► with my number two pick so like they are

00:49:10 ◼   ► really good

00:49:11 ◼   ► just Mario World is better it's simple

00:49:14 ◼   ► as that like now you know it and even I

00:49:17 ◼   ► mean I even I even kind of knew this at

00:49:18 ◼   ► the time like I Mario World was one of

00:49:20 ◼   ► the games I would always want to play at

00:49:21 ◼   ► my friends houses because I just wanted

00:49:23 ◼   ► more of it like it's so good and I

00:49:25 ◼   ► played through it a number of times in

00:49:26 ◼   ► college on emulators and so yeah it's

00:49:28 ◼   ► it's such a good game we should play

00:49:32 ◼   ► Mario Kart with Adam I think he'd be

00:49:33 ◼   ► really into that yeah you seen that

00:49:35 ◼   ► Mario's the 6401 was especially with the

00:49:37 ◼   ► balloons on the back yeah I think we're

00:49:39 ◼   ► probably enough to get some kind of

00:49:40 ◼   ► Nintendo system pretty soon so we could

00:49:42 ◼   ► buy all the old games on the Virtual

00:49:43 ◼   ► Console and fun cuz like we can't go

00:49:45 ◼   ► past 16 bid on this emulator we were

00:49:46 ◼   ► happy we have an Apple TV so all right

00:49:48 ◼   ► we're good shot cool thank you everyone

00:49:50 ◼   ► for listening and right yeah doo doo doo
