    This was SO helpful in deciding what to download for my Arcade Box, thanks Gary!



  2. Gary on February 8, 2022 at 10:07 pm

    Please excuse the typo on #96 – it should be "Urban Chaos" … not "Ubran Chaos".
    Also #33 should be spelled "Ehrgeiz".

  42. R2RO VIDS on February 8, 2022 at 11:00 pm

    thanks for sharing this video more games to ad to my list



  43. X1-Alpha on February 8, 2022 at 11:01 pm

    Huh, I did play a fair share of those, though I guess I also didn’t get a chance to play too many of the better known games, so I dunno how to feel about that. Could only look at ’em in the review magazines (which I still happen to have).
    Still, good times, a lot of nostalgia. Thank you for the video.



  44. Dilo Games on February 8, 2022 at 11:01 pm

    Great Video, you have my thanks.



  45. lilppblunt on February 8, 2022 at 11:02 pm

    ’97-09ish… truly a peak era for video games. It was when video game developers didn’t have to go insanely realistic so they played with stylish graphics, and the 90s aspect of making incredibly unique gameplay so your game was something new and different was at the forefront. It wasn’t all about making the most realistic first-person shooter with the best reload animation or a sports game that factored in 1 mile per hour winds. It was just pure fun, and the possibilities seemed endless because software was so accessible and spread like wildfire on the internet. Still, there was limited accessibility and skill needed so making a video game was truly out of passion and not something people did offhand to make a few bucks on a mobile app.



  46. UnifiedEntity on February 8, 2022 at 11:03 pm

    I dont see no Legend of Legaia



  47. Luciano 1988 on February 8, 2022 at 11:04 pm

    For a channel just named "Gary" you have some pretty damn interesting videos without all the b.s. just getting straight to the good stuff I couldn’t believe how many Sega Saturn games there were for Japan only that were good games it just boggles my mind that they never were released in the U.S. might of made the outcome of the bad sales with the Sega Saturn different if it had more of a variety of decent games



  49. Telesphoro Pendragon on February 8, 2022 at 11:04 pm

    that fighting gundam is amazing. very good.



  50. Connor Dean on February 8, 2022 at 11:06 pm

    Wow big thanks to Gary and everyone in the comment suggesting additional hidden gems, will be trying lots of these, also not sure if they qualify as hidden gems but stars wars episode 1 the phantom menace was tough but great and Stuart Little 2 was just great 🙂
