    A3
    Criminally Overlooked Games 5 (#365)Sometimes games just don't get the love and attention that they deserve, usually because they're not big names like Mario, Sonic, Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon, Pokémon, Roblox, Minecraft, or others I should probably put in this description to theoretically improve this video's reach. Anyway let's look at some more games that people should talk about at least a little bit more than they do.

    Games that Push Hardware Limits 10 (#370)This time let's focus on games that push 16-bit hardware by using polygons to try to make true 3D games! 3D gaming has sure come a long way since then, but these games are fun to look back on.

    A20
    All SEGA Model 1 and Model 2 (#382)Sega was a force to be reckoned with in the arcades, and their Model 1 and later Model 2 boards were revolutionary for their time, bringing us crazy 3D games we didn't think were possible only a few years before. So let's check 'em all out!
  • Piss Poor Ports 4 (#383)
    A21

    A26
    2D Games on the Nintendo 64 (#388)The 32-bit generation, which the N64 was part of, was primarily one of 3D polygonal graphics. It was the hot new trick that people loved to see.
