The Sega Genesis Challenge Returns!!!
After a long hiatus, The Alfred Effect has relaunched and with it comes The Sega Genesis Challenge. I've posted the first two games of the series below and will be following it up with more of the classic episodes every couple of days. All of this is leading up to a brand new start to the series in January 2019 with the first new gameplay video and write-up since 2012!

Exactly.
Hey, I would love nothing more than to do one. I just don't have a copy of the game and haven't been able to find one for a price I'm willing to pay. But trust me, it is on my wanted list (http://www.thealfredeffect.com/?page_id=58). :-"

True, but I've made it a point to only do reviews for games that I actually own. It wouldn't be the same to me if I just used burned cd's and emulators.
The store you went to has a much better Genesis selection than any places I ever visit. All I find are Sonic games, Mortal Kombat and sports titles. Constantly.
Part 12 is up. Check out how well I handle the late-gen Genesis title, Sub-Terrania.
Uploaded new videos for The Adventures of Batman and Robin, Eternal Champions, and Strider II. Enjoy!
New video links added for Outrun 2019 and Bio-Hazard Battle.
Outrun 2019 =D> Not sure why, but that's one of my most favorite Genesis games!
Bio Hazard Battle for me. That game is top notch.
I couldn't quite get the hang of Outrun, but I really did enjoy Bio-Hazard Battle. Some pretty solid shooting there.
I've added links for Crue Ball and Twin Cobra. Motley Crue themed pinball and some classic shmup action. What can go wrong? :)
Bio-Hazard Battle is indeed an awesome Genesis game :D

Go back, play it some more, and get the hang of it. One of the all-time greats right there, you must appreciate it!
I checked your site out some more finerion and added it to my bookmarks as it was pretty awesome :)

Oh I definitely enjoy the original Outrun. Just something about Outrun 2019 just didn't seem to play as well though. Can't quite put my finger on it.

Thanks! I really appreciate it. :)

:lol: Genesis was never one of my favorites, but a few games are passable in my book :P
Added three more videos, Fatal Rewind, Kid Chameleon, and Pac Attack. Hoping you guys continue to enjoy! If you like what you see and want to keep up to date on when I post new content feel free to subscribe to my RSS feed at the top of the page. Thanks!

Send me a PM with what you have and we can talk about it.
Hope you guys are enjoying the videos. Hope to have Pier Solar in my hands within the next few weeks and will definitely be doing some videos of it.
sent you a PM
5 new Sega Genesis Challenge videos uploaded. Can't believe that makes over 25 videos so far!
Whatever you do... DONT review Road Avenger.... after having played the Laserdisc version, the Sega CD version is absolutely terrible! :D
Pier Solar finally arrives! Check out my challenge video here: http://www.thealfredeffect.com/?p=545
Added three more videos for The Adventures of Mighty Max, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and F-117 Night Storm. Enjoy!
Updated with link to Master Blaster 2 video. Look for more soon.
Three more videos added to the list. This brings the total up to 35. Getting close to the 50 video special. :)
Sorry about the delay guys. The challenge is back on track with new videos for Sonic Spinball, Bubsy, and Bubsy 2.
Another Genesis title down, so many more to go. Today brings Tiny Toon Adventures to the mix.
Latest video added for Chakam, the Forever Man.
Number 40 has been posted and this time it is for Devilish an interesting take on the brick breaker design.
Another day and another video. Today I tackle Predator 2 and boy do I suffer.
From the makers of Subterrania comes Red Zone the next game that will drive you nuts and make you forget why you even started playing to begin with.
Another movie adaptation today, this time Alien 3.
Boldly going where I've never gone before.... Today's game is Star Trek The Next Generation: Echoes of the Past.
Today I tackle Mazin Saga Mutant Fighter... yeah, I'm just as confused by it as you.
Today I got to tackle a shooter that I have been looking for for some time: Raiden Trad.
Rocket Knight Adventures is added to the library and what a ride it is.
And another one bites the dust. Well, actually, I bite the dust. Pwned by Super Thunder Blade. :oops:
Wow, Challenge video #50 is up and it is one I've been wanting to do for a long time: Battletech. Hope you enjoy as much as I.
...Chakam? That's an N at the end. :P

Good eye, thanks!
Trying out a different genre today, racing. Up for your consideration is Virtua Racing (Genesis version). Hope you enjoy!
Three more videos added to the growing collection: Super Battletank, Hard Drivin', and Tom and Jerry Frantic Antics. Enjoy!
Hey there guys! I just wanted to drop a quick line to let everyone know that the Sega Genesis Challenge has not yet ended but is merely on vacation while I do a complete overhaul of the game room. I cannot wait to finish things up and do a video showcasing my new setup. Good times and keep tuned for more!

So you're an agent of FEKA, err, SEGA, huh ??? ;)
I am working on Paprium at the moment. I have hit a bug trying to 100% it so I have to figure out why.
