Great video! Salute to the "Life Riders"! It's so funny how you describe the experience of being a kid, being faced with that wall of games at Toys 'R' Us and trying to make a big decision about what one of your few game purchases of the year will be, with very little information to go on... I remember that dilemma very well. It also required a prolonged campaign of requests to my parents just to get a ride to Toys 'R' Us, as it was about a 25-30 minute drive to the nearest one from our place.

It was also how I ended up spending months of spening money on Psycho Fox only to discover I couldn't stand it! Console gaming was tough back then. And thanks for the sub Evo. |

Wow, being new here I obviously have no idea which members favour which games etc. I thought you were leading us to a Phantasy Star or Alex Kidd in Miracle World finale, but no, didn't see that coming! Great little video, thanks for sharing. I used to hate it when I spent ages saving for a game to get it home and find it to be pants. Probably happened more than I'd care to admit, luckily we had a really decent market-stall nearby that offered very fair trade-ins, so the odd donkey could soon be outed for a second hand copy of something more worthwhile of my time. Having said that, Psycho Fox is amazing! Definitely in my top 10! |

Very interesting. I always like to see videos done by someone who grew up with the games or at least knows them thoroughly, it's always more engaging than someone ripping on them or trying to be the next shock jock of Youtube. It's clear you knew these games inside and out, and the choices were very personal. Kind of rambling at times, it would be better if you rehearsed a bit, I feel, to avoid some redundancy and repetition, but do some more!

Thanks all Always better growing up with them as there's usually loads of side stories. I'm planning on doing a Top 5 every Monday, I do different gameplay vids each day as well. At some point I'll do a top 5 worst MS games as there's plenty I don't like. A lot of people find Endruo Racer odd for sure but I just can't seem to shake the love for it! Even writing about it now I get the itch to fire the cart up. |

Great stuff mate. Short and sweet video with some great memories shared. I'm now subscribed.
I listen to your RVG podcast but there doesn't seem to have been much activity with that recently.

I never gave Enduro Racer a chance back in the day, but having played it in recent years, I can understand it being your favorite. It has a depth that is revealed through repeated play... and it just has an intangible, but very satisfying, feeling to it once you have learned the controls.

It's still going on at the RVG website but I jumped ship back in August. Been focusing on my Youtube channel of late. I've put a lot of focus in slowly improving things where I can and I think the likes of the green screen will help loads for making better looking vids |

The funniest thing about it is I loved it for so long and had no idea about the extra courses on the Japanese versions. To be in love with a game for so long then discover it's 100% better was mind blowing at the time! |
