Awesome new Genesis site is up

The Retroware TV Genesis vs. SNES video was so biased it was both infuriating and embarrassing.

And if that person exists, SSJN, I haven't found them. Maybe it should be me.

The 32X had the best port of After Burner ever. That deserves all of the credit.

Is that still true after the 2500 series on PS2 and the M2 3DS port (or is that II)?

edit: They're both II. How did that happen?

If I wasn't lazy I would do it, as there are a ton of games on non-Nintendo systems besides the Genesis from back then that I never got the chance to try but wanted to.

Except it wouldn't be good if I did it.

I wouldn't care but sadly people take his gaming opinions seriously. His Genesis vs. SNES episode where he's not in nerd character was so ridiculously biased in favour of the SNES but it's presented in a way that newcomers to that era might think it's being fair.

The one where he used consoles as sock puppets? That immediately would void any credibility to his points IMO.

Ironically, if I were to do it, I'd probably have to go with Japanese exclusives on Nintendo systems, because I've played most of the good stuff on everything else.

Looked it up on SegaRetro. Yeah, it is II. Weird. http://segaretro.org/After_Burner_Complete

Turns out the Sega Ages version is better, I guess? The 32X mode had a hidden story about saving a princess in your plane. Was that in the Sega Saturn version, too?

[Mzo]

Pretty sure After Burner II contains and completely replaces After Burner. It's not like a brand new game with different everything.

According to that wonderful Hardcore Gaming 101 Sega book, you are correct. II was basically Metal Slug X to I's Metal Slug 2. Now it all makes sense.

Is there anyone like the angry nerd who goes back and looks at classic games they never played before, but unlike him do it from a real perspective and not a "how can I mock this while coming up shit related similes"? Oh, and is any good?
I feel like there has to be at least one.

I like watching the Game Sack guys. One of the guys seems to be a serious collector and is a Sega guy and the other a Nintendo guy. A lil cheesy but with a wink and a nod.

They're both big collectors in general but they exaggerate their biases on the show.

They say "for the most part" for the most part, neither are particularly good at completing games, and have displayed dubious taste in the past (Super Adventure Island is the best Adventure Island? What?)

I like the show. Dave works in video production so it has a pretty professional look to it. He's also a really close-minded asshole that snaps at everyone on forums.
