  I love that Matt immediately recognized Last Battle as a reskinned Hokuto no Ken game. 😆

  Last Battle is indeed the western localized version of a Japanese Hokuto no Ken game. They basically removed the blood, changed a few names and swapped a few colors.

  That &apos;Death Duel&apos; game over screen is the most brutal game over screen I&apos;ve seen in my life. It straight up just insults you and down to your family 😂

  Holy crackers. Arcus Odyssey. I played this game on the SEGA Channel back in the early 90s, before I could fucking read, and I&apos;ve been losing my mind every couple years trying to remember this game. <br>You have unsealed a memory for me. Thank you.

  Oh man, Atomic Runner right off the bat? That game is excellent, but you have to treat it like a shooter. It&apos;s rock hard and you need to get good. If you&apos;re not into shmups, it&apos;s not going to be for you, but for those into that genre, it&apos;s an incredibly well made game with tight controls and excellent level design.

  Arcus Odyssey is a true hidden gem for the Genesis. Plus the replayability trying to beat the game with the different characters.

  Red Zone isn&apos;t a helicopter &nbsp;game, it&apos;s actually a multi genre game that changes with missions. you have overhead shoot em up type levels, fps levels, etc. it&apos;s a crazy display of what the Genesis could do . you should give it another go, at the very least it&apos;s an interesting game overall to check out.

  You were a little young but Ex-Mutants was a classic, who could forget such heros like Disgruntled Goat, Uncle Ant, KIu Klux Clam...

  IDK if this comes up later but fun fact: Wolf Team is the guys who will become Namco Tales Studio and made the Tales series of RPGs!

  Not-so-fun fact about Atomic Runner: It was originally released in arcades as &quot;Atomic Runner Chelnov&quot; with a very different plot and set-up where the titular main character was a Soviet coal miner who was caught in a nuclear blast that gave him super powers. This, combined with the character&apos;s name being very close to &quot;Chernobyl&quot; got Data East a lot of criticism from their perceived insensitivity and attempt to profit off the Chernobyl disaster. The company officially denied any intentional connection (though later accounts from Data East employees would partially contradict this), but the character&apos;s origins were changed, along with some graphical elements, for the Mega Drive/Genesis port, and the name &quot;Chelnov&quot; was dropped from the title for the North American and European release.
