The Sega Genesis and SNES Games HAUL of Christmas 1991 - My Retro Life [Extended Cut] 

Unfortunately kids nowadays will never get these experiences. This was a time when technology was rapidly advancing, everything was so new. No social media just human connections and real moments spent with those people. Seeing a few pictures in a magazine and letting your imagine run wild for a new game. Man what times to live, truly blessed are the 80-90 kids.

Gotta say, you had some fantastic parents.

Tyler was the cutest kid in the 90s! Man I hope someday I have a kid like that! Can't believe he is a father now. Amazing to see this kid become such a wonderful parent like his dad.

Reminds me a lot of my own childhood in the early 90s

You are so lucky to have had such a great family! You were cute man.

In 1989 we got our first Nintendo for Christmas but my cousin got the Sega Genesis. We played his Genesis a lot and at the time had some really cool exclusives. In 1993 I got the Super Nintendo and was blown away by the graphics and how much better it looked and sounded than the Sega Genesis, the Sega CD came out, then the 32X. The 16-Bit wars will never be forgotten.

The golden age of video games for sure.

This channel is one of the most precious on RU-vid. The joy you had as a child is captured forever for others to see. God bless you.

Ol dad for sure was totally about them games for christmas. But the print looked nice lol😂

This was the golden era of gaming and I’m thankful to have lived it

Man, i remember that year. Good times. It's hard to convey just how exciting gaming was back then, with how rapidly things were growing. I was close with my cousins as well.

I was a 2000’s kid but it doesn’t change the fact I remember Christmas being a truly magical time as a kid and it still is. A time of year when families come together and you can just focus on enjoying the holidays. A day where any personal problems just seem to fade away.

Xmas 1990 I got a sega genesis with golden ax altered beast and mj moonealker . I put my nes under my bed . My cousins and friends was like that's a sega genesis. I got my snes halloween 91 with fzero and mario world . Xmas 1991 got final fight ,act raiser, ultraman and link to the past. Great memories rip mom and dad

I love the random pause screen. True sign of button mashing 😂

I feel bad for the dad. He went all out for his kid and wife, and all she got him was a lousy print lol poor guy!

Either really paid back then, or always in debt but as a kid he wouldn't of ever known it. At the end of the day all the games in the world can't replace a happy and united home unfortunately. As someone born in '79 these videos certainly bring back memories.

Oh man the gamepro rating art really takes me back.

Super Castlevania 4 and Super metroid are tied as my favorite snes games.

I see terrible parents saying how we shouldnt lie to our kids about Santa but look at the joy it brings. Love the videos keep up the good work

Your family reminds me of mine.. I also wore a button up shirt and bowtie lol

When you yell “ SEGA CD ROOOOM!” Sound just like my sons excited voice 😂

Christmas 1991 I got a sega genesis with sonic and battlemaster. I also got a new bike. I truly wish I could go back to the late eighties and early nineties. The world now is so dark and depressing

Hey man I just wanted to tell you I enjoy your videos and thank you for giving us a glimpse into your childhood. I think a lot of us as kids reacted the same way the night before Christmas lol too ansy to go to sleep. Please keep giving us some great content. Btw dragon warrior IS SO HARD I hated that game lol

I dont remember getting any Genesis games that Xmas. I'd gotten Sonic on launch day that summer. I asked for Shining in the Darkness, but didnt get it. I had just gotten my SNES back in September and asked for several games since all I had was Mario World at that point. I did get Super Ghouls N Ghosts, Super R-Type, Super Castlevania 4, and F-Zero. Was HIGHLY disappointed in R-Type since the game had perma-slow down. Early shooters on the SNES usually all did.

Dragon warrior was a hard game lol my cousin had it we played it alot

War….war never changes

The guy who says, “enough to make a grown man cry” your dad or avgn

On a unrelated note, I was just thinking about how difficult 8/16 bit games were. Nowadays when u think of difficult gam3 developers most who know would probably say fromsoft and soulslike games, but in those days nothing was more horrifying than......DISNEY!! those most kid freindly brand came out with the most nightmatishly difficult games I can remember!! Lion king, alladin, toy story those 3 games were titles where I never saw past the first 3 levels if I was lucky!! I always though as an adult that maybe the difficulty was just due to my young age, NOPE! it's just hard in general..theres is part in the 1st or 2nd level.of lion king where theses nightmare monkies juggle ur ass around in a "puzzle" type of sequence that was literally IMPOSSIBLE to figure out unless u had a cheat magazine.. I mean when i finally saw the correct sequence as a adult I thought "were they freaking high!?! WHY would u ever put such a dizzying puzzle in the 1st level of a children's game??!?!? I mean seriously the correct sequence of that monkey part had to be made to literally drive ppl insane, and it was almost to the point where the game felt broken or that some glitch was blocking the progression path!! Iv heard more then a few ppl say they assumed the code in the game was wonky or that they thought their cartridge was a "lemon" simply because nobody could fathom why such a impossible puzzle would purposefully be put so early in the game!?!? It HAD to be a glitch!!right?? RIGHT!?!? Then once someone FINALLY figured it out n u found it IT WAS ON PURPOSE and there isn't anything wrong with the game, it literally put u in one of those moods where u stopped playing from feeling bullied and made a fool of!!sometimes for weeks, months or sometimes FOREVER!! it's just like "this game was laughing at me for months!! F*** you lion king" (throws cartridge in trash,pours lighter fluid and ignites match). "I JUST CANT WAIT TO BE KIIINNG!!!" NOOOOOOOO!! I JUST CANT WAIT FOR U TO BUURRRRRN, DIE PUZZLE MONKIES!! DIE!!!! STOP LAUGHING AT ME AND THROWING ME AROUND LIKE A RAGDOLL!!!DIE MONKIES JUST DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!!.....................arhmmm......I apologize for my outburst.... see the unreasonable emotions it brings out in me as a 32 year old man! I can only imagine all the mental health those damn juggle monkies just broke. All the minds that went insane seeing those monkies throw u left, right, up,left and the spikes u down to the ground where u started, over n over n over again! Then I finally figure it out only to encounter another set of juggle monkies that juggle throws ur Ass in a different sequence!! Smh.

Your family must have been millionaires lol

I can only imagine this kid being labeled on day one of school as having ADD by the whole teaching staff....LOL...poor guy, dad and mom created a mini Wizard Fred Savage.

Don't be so matrialistic guys

Golden Axe 2 was dads gift....... Dad hated her gift😢😅
