    Another video from YouTube’s most underrated retro gaming channel. Thanks, Strafefox. Your research and production quality are second to none.

    If there was only one channel left on YouTube dedicated to retro, I would prefer it to be yours

    I still remember getting my mega drive for my 10th birthday in 93.  I had a sleep over with 4 mates and we had Kentucky Fried Chicken for dinner and stayed up all night on pepsi, chips and lollies and played the Mega Drive non stop.  SFII, TMNT Hyperstone Heist and Thunder Force IV were the 3 games i had and it was glorious. Almost 43 and i still remember that night as though it was yesterday.

    Soleil/Crusader of Centy was a certified childhood classic.

    Now here's a man who knows his MD tunes. Excellent selection, and a great video too.

    Screw it, I'll follow everyone else's lead and say I'm absolutely delighted that this channel has put forth another one of its extremely high-quality video.

    These studios made some of my favorite games on the system. The MD/Genesis wouldn't be the same without them.

    I&apos;m a simple guy; if I come across a new Strafefox video, I watch it.<br><br>How you don&apos;t have a million subs is beyond me.

    I&apos;m an 80s/90s kid. The 16-Bit era will allways be peak video gaming for me.

Aegis plays a clean stream instead of YouTube's player, so pre-roll ads, trackers, and fingerprinting never ride along. Drop Shields any time if you want the official player back.
