In 1988, Sega took Nintendo by storm and released the Sega Genesis. The conflict between the two companies created a video game console war for the ages. I learn about the cultural impact the Genesis had from comedian Hannibal Burress and play Mortal Combat for the first time against Mari Takahashi from Smosh Games. Fellow YouTube creator Jake Baldino from Gameranx teams up with me to test some questionable Sega Genesis gaming accessories.

    It's unbelievable that this guy never played SEGA Genesis before, Well i played Genesis as a kid and I have so much nostalgia with it, Gosh I really missed my old times.

    IT HAS TO BE OFF WHEN YOU PUT THE CARTRIDGE IN!!!!!! THEN TURN IT ON…..AFTER….you put the cartridge in…………my head is so deep in my hands right now…..but so glad he recognizes that Sega was the superior underdog. When I was 10 years old I was asked if I wanted a game console and if so, which one would I prefer and my answer was immediate – no hesitation – Sega Genesis….because it WASN"T Nintendo. At 10 years old, I wanted the one that my friends DIDN"T have. I wanted the one that WASN'T on the posters in the video section of my local rural grocery store. The Sega Genesis was a cool black box that promised something more esoteric…..something for the those with less conventional tastes….they were the "bad boy" console. I loved it and I was a Sega fanboy through and through – until the dreamcast came out and it was clear to me that Playstation was the future……..and then I really hated on Xbox until the 360 came out and I've been xbox ever since.

    I started screaming when I saw him remove and reattach the cartridge while the system was on. Never, ever, do that.

    LOL. I like how none of these rando's that were interviewed really actually KNOW what 16-bit actually entails. They seem to be just assuming. Instant response and no lag??? 8-bit had that too.

    I was in Europe when we got this. So, I know it as the Sega mega drive. Ahhh, the memories. I didnt care much for the dreamcast, but we did buy the Sega Saturn and that was cool.
