(ESP-ENG) Mi infancia con lo mejor del Sega Genesis // My childhood with the best of the Sega Genesis.
Hello friends, good vibes everyone.
We continue with this count of consoles and video games that I had the opportunity to play as a child and teenager and this time it is the turn of the Sega Genesis. There are many memories I have with this device but luckily they are good memories because although it is true I did not try so many games with the few that if I had the chance to play them I enjoyed a lot.
There were really three, maybe four games that I have the most memory of because they spent hours and hours glued to the television trying to overcome those worlds and adventures. Certainly this console was not so successful and in addition to the fact that in my country it was a bit difficult to get the games, there was not much variety but it really did not influence and in the same way it was something that I enjoyed a lot. So let's go with the titles that I liked the most:
Sonic The Hedgehog.
I think this game is one of the ones that has marked me the most in my entire life, but because of how incredibly good it is, I literally spent hour after hour playing this jewel of video games and I didn't get tired. This came out there in 1991 with the intention of competing with Nintendo and Mario and apparently it had some success because nowadays people are still talking about him to the point that movies of this character are being made.
The plot behind this game is quite simple, we are located on a planet, Mobius, a quiet place where this fast hedgehog lives until Dr. Robotonik appears out of nowhere, who is a mad scientist who all he wants is to conquer said planet. Basically what you have to do is go from level to level and rescue all the captive animals that this doctor is catching.
As for the characters there are only two, Sonic and the doctor, later a sequel to this game came out, Sonic the hedgehog 2 where they include Tails, Sonic's closest friend. As we progress through the game, believe me, it gets much more difficult, the game is short but the truth is that the levels get more and more complicated.
In conclusion it is a real gem, the graphics for the early nineties era were outstanding in addition to the music or soundtrack which were also incredible. It's a shame that I don't have the opportunity to play it again because if it weren't one of my favorites.
- Street Fighter.
It was with this game that I met this franchise. I think it is one of the best fighting game universes only below Mortal Kombat. The game is what it is, you have to fight with a series of fighters around the planet until you reach the final opponent, Mr Bison.
Like I said you were going all over the world trying to beat all the opponents. The most complicated countries according to their fighters were India with Dhalsim, China with the powerful Chun-Li, Thailand with Sagat and Mr Bison himself. Clearly this game was multiplayer where the main characters were friends Ryu and Ken. It was one of the first fighting titles that I played, so I think it marked me so much, I am convinced that capable is not one of the best but for me in those times it was.
- Tiny Toon Adventures.
I go with the crown jewel, with the game that if the previous ones took hours away from me, this would take away even sleep. Yes, I'm sure it was not the most popular of this console but friends, what a GOOD game it was, the classic title of pure and mere adventure. It was from the Konami firm that was almost always a guarantee with Capcom.
But then, what was this game about? - The truth is simpler than it seems and I think that's what made it so good. It consisted in that our friend Buster had to go from world to world in order to defeat his enemy Max Montana who had stolen and hidden a treasure, and also Buster had to rescue Babsy Bunny.
This game consisted of 33 levels where one could find different enemies which had to be defeated one by one until getting the dreaded Dr Gene Splicer and defeating him in the same way. I also remember that in order to pass the level it was necessary to find a "Gogo Dodo", otherwise you could not continue advancing.
Honestly, this was the best game I could play on the Sega, above the Sonic; This opinion is very personal, but I think so. Nothing more than having so many levels and each one with some difficulty was undoubtedly synonymous with entertainment for days.
- Bonus: The Lion King.
I put this game solely out of nostalgia as it was the first game they gave me when they bought me the Sega Genesis. Surprisingly, this game is quite good and entertaining, at first it did not catch my attention but as you play it you realize that it is worth it.
The game I remember was very difficult, each level really had an absurd complexity that could get me a bit frustrated even if it didn't seem like it. Besides that the plot is very similar to the story of the movie. He is a small and adult Simba who seeks to regain the throne that is in the hands of his uncle Scar, who in turn killed Mufasa, Simba's father. It has 14 levels of super advanced difficulty, I repeat.
Bueno mi gente estos fueron los juegos que marcaron mi infancia con el Sega Genesis, espero que les haya gustado.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
Well my people these were the games that marked my childhood with the Sega Genesis, I hope you liked them.
¡A hug to all, see you in the next one!

Thats a good post 🤝🏻
Thanks, my friend.
Actually I never had a console like that, but I had the opportunity to play some of their games, since a close friend of mine had one of those.
I'll stick with the first two you mention, "Sonic" is undoubtedly a reference in the world of video games in the platform genre, despite having lagged behind compared to the saga of "Super Mario Bros" and the same "Crash Bandicoot", on the other hand Street Fighter is another great reference but of the fighting genre, I do not like this genre, but from time to time I dedicate a little time just for fun.
As for the others, maybe they are good or maybe not xD, I've never played them, but thanks to your sharing I could know about their existence hehehe.
Good post my friend! You have a good design in terms of content and writing.... Thanks for sharing it, see you soon!
Thanks for reading my friend.
Indeed, Sonic was incredible. The others too but you has to play them to know.
