Run Through - SEGA Genesis & Mega Drive Classics


As you may or may not know I recently purchased the Sega Humble Bundle and in that bundle were quite a few gems.  Medieval II: Total War, Company of Heroes, Renegade Ops, Hell Yeah and a few others... however! What did catch my eye was the 10 Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games that came with it all and what you got in it was Altered Beast, Vector Man, Golden Axe 1, 2 & 3,  Echo the motherfucking Dolphin, Gain Ground, Crack Down, Comix Zone and last but not least Shinobi IIIL Returrn of the Ninja Master.


I have not played many of those games before, apart from Golden many years ago in my childhood.  I never owned anything Sega either, I was always a Nintendo kid through and through.  Anyway, I have decided to play through these games as they were intended without the use of save states etc to see how far I could get and do a live commentary to capture some frustration and triumph.  It's not a lets play more like a Lets Play and see how far I can get before smashing the monitor.

I am using a PS3 controller with windows drivers and I am not using the save state feature included with the bundled Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games, how hard can it be?  Will find out soon, as I have footage of my first play through recorded and the results will be uploaded shortly.  First game off the rank is Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master...
... much excite.
