When I first got in to Video Games, the main system that everyone that I knew, that would play video games on, was on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), and well as the late 80s turned in to the early 90s and the technology that made the, 'Nintendo' became old and time to be replaced, they replaced it with the video game system, the, 'Super Nintendo Entertainment System' or, 'SNES'... And that is when things started to get interesting...
What I mean by that is the fact that during this time, Sega would go on to release a system that would not only rival the SNES, but would continue to do so through out most of the 1990s, and that system of course would be the, 'Sega Genesis'!
Now for me, I first got in to this system, like all video game systems that I played at the time, when I played it at a friends house! And you know what? One of the first games that I would go on to play when I was a kid... A game that is still to this day one of my favorite games of all time is, 'Space Harrier 2' (1988)!

Originally developed by: Sega-AM2 and published for the Sega Genesis, this video game told of the year 6236, in which our hero, (Harrier), ends up getting a distress signal light years away from his current position, once he gets there, it looks like he is going to have to go on another one man war against an entire army to defeat the forces of evil that have overrun that area!
The truth is, is this game may seem extremely easy, but it isn't, you see essentially you are constantly moving forward killing enemies and dodging objects... And trust me when I say that it may sound easy... But it isn't... The truth is, is it is extremely difficult... But in the end, what does help is the fact that this games controls are pretty easy to get used to!
In the end, this game was the first that I ever played on the Sega Genesis, and in the end, it is still in my top 10 favorite video games of all time, and if you give it a chance I think you guys might like it as well!
