The Saturn and PS1 Road Avenger/Road Blaster ports, they have enhanced overlays and sound effects, not just the arcade originals.

[MrGameSack]

@M4R14NO94 Wasn't much of enhancement. I'd kill or seriously injure in order to get the Wolfteam Road Avenger, just with LD quality video (or better) and CD quality sound.

I was ready to hate this, but this isn't too badly done and isn't actually "games that were really popular but I'm too young to remember" like most of these types of videos seem to be, the only gripe I have is you guys really need to practice being less stiff with your delivery, and if you are going to continue doing humorous banter you might want to practice a bit more.

[MrGameSack]

@kristina80ification Thanks... I think.

Did you guys know that there was a version of Road Avenger for the Pioneer Laseractive called 'Road Prosecutor'

[MrGameSack]

@Digitalpalette We do! We haven't personally played it yet, though, but we hear it is pretty much exactly like the arcade (except in name) and that means it probably has the crosshair and the original audio. I'd kill for a LaserDisc version with the Sega CD Road Avenger GUI and sound mix!!

LOL love the misheard lyrics :-)

[dave4shmups]

LOVE your videos! Keep up the great work!!

[Locomamonk]

I think pikmin is over rated... as for the other 2 (not counting the sega cd one because I don't own a sega cd) I'll have to check them out.

Those misheard lyrics are fantastic, worth the subscription alone! I played through Road Avenger on my iPhone, and whilst I agree with your thoughts on it, it was still very enjoyable (if you play it on tilt controls, you need a lot of room either sound of you!)

Personal choice for a game that deserves more attention is Skyblazer on SNES. Great game.

these reviews are really professionally done, keep it up guys!

[HiroGaems]

I totally agree that these games should have been more popular. Pikmin and Road Avenger are among my favorites on their respective systems.

My picks, if I was limited to two like you guys were, would probably be Kolibri for the 32X and Secret of Evermore on SNES. The latter takes a lot of flak for basically being the game we got instead of Seiken Densetsu 3 in the US, but having played both, I much prefer Evermore.
