RETRO TECH: SEGA GENESIS 

30 years ago, saying "Come to my basement and ill show you something cool" didnt sound bad

Dude, this is the first youtube premium show I'm actually into.

As an older millennial, this just plastered a smile on my face. Thank you for bringing back so many memories!

Dangit, the "SEEEGAAAA" made me teary-eyed immediately. Oh nostalgia, you are so strong.

"I think the victors is obvious. Its us. Its the gamers" - Such a beautiful way to put it

I was really expecting to hear "SEGAAAAAA" at the very start of this video.

I remember the day my mom came home and told me, "I bought you a Nintendo!" I ran out to the car only to find she had bought me an Atari (much older system). I didnt have the heart to tell her what it actually was and hugged amd thanked her. It had a joystick and a single button on the controlled. I played the game it came with until it froze, which I was convinced meant I finished it. So I just told myself, "I guess I flipped it over", which meant I passed the whole game. I ended up getting a Super Nintendo years later. Memories

He put the game in with the console on. He’s lucky he didn’t damage the cartridge. lol

That sweet chime of "seeeegaaaa" transported you instantly into a new world. Thank you Sega.

What a pain it was not being able to save the progress in Sonic, countless times we started from the beginning.

The sound output through the headphone jack was just next level. It sounded completely different and awesome compared to the sound coming out of the TV speakers.

I can’t believe everyone always skips over sega Saturn when they talk about the genesis and the Dreamcast, the sega Saturn was outrageously underrated...

2:15 Felt like throwing my TV across the room when he tried putting in the cartridge with the power already on.

This is the first thing I've ever watched in RU-vid premium. More of this

Judging older tech with a modern mindset isn’t giving these products their due. During the time, the add ons were dope

Joy to watch. Great insights, guests and brought a whole heap of good memories back. Thank you.

Seeing how he first turn in ON and THEN plug the cart in I shout: "NNOOOOO!!!!"

Hearing that “SEGAAA!” Brings up memories

You are by far my favorite youtube creator. I mean, you got it all. Within your channel we get new tech reviews, old tech flashbacks and more. Combine that with really smooth editing and a personal approach... No wonder you are killin' it. Rock on Marques!

Here in the UK it was called the Mega drive. It was amazing.

When RU-vid premium is finally useful

“Ohhhhhhhhh!! THAT’s why you talking to me like that.” 😂😂😂

I had the Sega Genesis. I am still nostalgic for it. I loved Batman and the Batman game was my first on the console. I never thought about it being edgy, consciously , but it was dark, literally, set in Gotham city with edgier comic characters.

This guy not knowing how to work a Genesis is heartbreaking. What a missed childhood. I grew up at the perfect time, born 1986! I’ve been exposed to every system ever made and what a journey it’s been!

I'm 34, I can't remember what I did yesterday but I clearly remember how to do most of the MK2 fatalities!

"Come to my basement and check this out." No, thanks.

Loved these retro tech episodes. Should do some more

This is awesome! Great concept, I love seeing the new generation try to use tech I grew up on for the first time.

it’s so crazy watching this video in 2021, when we’re now seeing things at 4k, 2180p, possibly 240hz. to see how video games and graphics have advance from 8 bit pixels to cinematic type graphics is truly amazing

This show is just MKBHD telling everyone he interviews how young he is

Even the games back then was so wholesome. Really miss it

Dam bro, your videos are always dope, but this is top tier!!!! My childhood came rushing back!!

Biggie: ‘Super Nintendo Sega Genesis’ ‘When I was dead broke man I couldn’t picture this’

“Ooo that’s why you talking to me like that “” lol 😂🤣

Each and every line said in this video is so true ! Thank you for making this video, I was so emotional and happy after remembering good old days. ❤️

The genesis was amazing. Saturn too..... despite the lack of games. The Dreamcast was however, the legend

Since everyone is commenting about how premium is now worth it I feel like I also want to put in my 2 cents. I think everyone likes this show because one Marques takes a lot of pride in what he creates so he wouldn’t allow himself to release mediocre videos and two I feel like a lot of other premium shows try too hard to be good in the sense that they try to find a topic that’s relatively mainstream to get views as people ride the wave. Also, for myself and probably plenty of other people this series taps into things that we didn’t even know we real it missed. Brings back memories that make us happy and in a time like 2019-2020 that is very much needed. Props to Marques. Very well done show!

MKBHD the type of guy to put a cartridge in with the genesis already on.

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.

Watching this always makes me cry😢coz it was the era of pop culture gaming history in the world. I had the NES and i had sega i had everything when i was a kid. This era will always gonna be the best era or video games and the juggernaut in gaming history

I still remember the day when i got my sega clearly because my father played sonic for 4 hours straight until i was even allowed to get close to the console but that made me realize that sega was something awesome...never seen adults behave like that before... man ...running home with my brother after school to play Mortal Kombat ll ...i miss the 90s 😢

I remember back in 1990 me and group of friends went back to one our friends house, to play on their SEGA - we had all been drinking and some people had been smoking pot, we put on a boxing game. That particular evening stands as one of the most memorable of my later teen years. It was hilarious, people fought each other through the game and took turns with the winner of each bout, when it came to my turn my boxer weighed 400 stone and had a punch the same as an elephant gun, the on screen boxer could hardly move and it too ages to throw a punch, his opponent was a super featherweight who was impossible to corner or punch, the knockout moment was just too funny, bear in mind that the graphics were blocky and clunky with none of the finesse of PS4 or 5. It was a memorable evening - every time SEGA is mentioned it sends me right back to then. Thank you SEGA!

Before there was streaming, I routed my Sega through an extra VCR laying around and recorded something like a 1.5 hour session. Man, the good ole days

The dreamcast was ahead of it's time. It's sad that it wasn't a success, it should've been.

Mortal Kombat, Sonic and Fifa 97 were my favorites. I can still feel my "all-new" 6 button controller in my hands. Good old days...

I'm glad I grew up with the Sega Genesis. It was my first gaming console, and made video games a lifelong passion of mine. They certainy played a part in shaping the gaming industry at that time.

The king of tech on RU-vid "did I put it in backwards?"

“ WhEn YoUtUbe PrEmIum iS nOw UsEfuL “ Me: I’m not paying for it...but I’m still watching this

I'm just a couple of years older than him and I grew up with Genesis

Watching you unwrap my childhood and where my love of gaming began is ... um ... no words.

I didn’t had the sega, but i had a Family Game console. Dude, those days of pure fun, the sweated keys, blowing air onto a cassette, putting the power brick in front of a fan because of the heat, the house full of friends... warm memories🥺❤️👾

The original Sonic still impresses me to this day.

"I'm 25" "Oooo that's why your talking to me like that"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

RU-vid has recommended this video countless times for months I’ve always ignored it Watching this video I understand why it was always recommended

Woah Jake on an MKBHD channel? It's the epic collaboration we never knew we needed!!! Gameranx - one of the best

Seeing all those cord hookups and old tv made my heart flutter. That was a good sleep over Friday night and Saturday morning.

I was a Genesis kid. That console shaped my childhood. I recently found the console while helping my parents move and I'm 10 all over again. We even had sega channel because my dad worked at the cable company.

Oh I remember having the Mega Drive in my 20's. Waking up in the morning and playing right away. OutRun, Sonic, Golden Axe, Thunder Force 2, Flashback, Afterburner 2, Pitfall.....

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

You can't talk about the Sega Dreamcast's failure without talking about the Saturn so it's a shame that wasn't mentioned. It's also worth mentioning the Dreamcast has a pretty substantial cult following. Overall though it was a great video about it's legacy

I'm only one minute in and I'm already crying from nostalgia !!!!!! This was the best console ever

I really really enjoyed this one Marques. Thanks.

I’m loving these Retro videos right now

"SEEEGAAAAAAA!" ah... The sound of my childhood.

Totally glossed over the SEGA Saturn which was released in 1994.

All the cool kids with the 16 bit games... the SEGA intro sound 💔 The hours I spent playing Super Shinobi, Sonic, Desert Sequel, Michael Jackson Smooth Criminal, spiderman and many more..

5:00 the sega master system was awesome as hell! I loved that system. The games were incredibly cool. With the mortal kombat memories of blockbuster video tournaments….what a time to be alive

This dude turned the Sega on before putting in the cartridge.. That's a big no no and the reason it didnt work at first

I remember writing codes for 'brutalities' and 'fatalities' in Mortal Kombat and sharing with friends in school !! Oh the good old days !! 😄

This is so cool I never had one but always wanted one love that start up screen

Just turning it on was a memory unlocked 🔓

"Yo, came into my basement and check this out" sounds like the start of a horror movies

“I’d rather play a genesis is it has better graphics” they don’t change do they

“Ready to play a sega genesis game for the first time” - the disappointment

The kids who babysat me had one , I had an nes and after I played sonic and mortal kombat , I knew I had to do whatever I could to get one ! Great video

I use to want the mega CD so bad. Didn't even get a mention here.

I remember when I got my Sega Genesis for Christmas. I screamed down the whole neighborhood, I was so excited. Loving this show.

Damn you guys make me feel old. This was my first system, absolutely loved it.

I remember coming over to my friends house In second grade and playing Altered Beast on his Genesis after school. “WELCOME TO YOUR DOOOOM!” Oh, and staying up all night playing Mortal Kombat in middle school until our thumbs were literally bleeding. Fast forward to today, I’m 40 and my 7 year old’s favorite video game character is Sonic. He has a Sonic jumper that he wears around the house sprinting up and down the hallway.

Always loved the Sega intro when the console powered up “Sega”!

The Dreamcast was actually very well received! It was piracy and the lack of a DVD player among some other issues that was its demise.

Damn, seeing all this makes me feel 6 years old again.

Renting Streets of Rage on a 3-day Blockbuster Video deal was a holiday weekend of legends.

Someone's written 'Genesis' on all those Megadrives

"I remember playing mortal combat at blockbuster" Oldest sentence ever

When the lady mentioned about Dreamcast, Sega Saturn was never mentioned.

This makes me want to watch ready player one again.

Im 25 and I played mortal combat on sega before. 😂 feeling lucky that i had older brother who allowed me to experience that.

Sega Genesis was my childhood. I literally couldn't see myself playing games on a Super Nintendo even now. Sega was raw, unhinged and didn't fuck around. Seeegaaaaaa... for life!!!!

I was not expecting to see Jake in an mkbhd video, very cool

OMG!!! Me and my little brother "RIP", got this when I was in the 7th grade and I remember when I "BY ACCIDENT" pulled Sonya Blades heart out, and we called EVERYONE we knew on the landline. God I miss those days

“The dreamcast was not well received” Lady, you couldn’t be more wrong.

I remember having a Sega Genesis. Spent hours and hours playing sonic, mortal kombat, madden, NHL, mutant league football, mutant league hockey, and others. Talk about reminding me of a blast from the past!! Great video man.

watching this dude talk about how rare the genesis is and thinking about the genesis casually sitting on the shelf in my room and then the sega Saturn sitting next to the ps4 playing this RU-vid video in my living room.

Dreamcast was an amazing console. Anyone who says otherwise never played it.

It's called the Sega Mega Drive where I come from. I think it was only called Genisis in the USA.

"I think I'm ready to play a Sega Genesis game for the first time." Thanks for making me feel old at 37!

I still have this at my parents house! So many good memories. Sonic, Aladdin and Automic Runner were my go to

6:34 "We chose friends based on consoles people had" This was so true!
