Redacted
Every week for two years my friends and myself have indulged in the Megadrive Game Mindset. I expect we’ll have experienced every single Sega Genesis/Megadrive game in existence sometime in 2026. Then we’ll have to find something else to do with our time, or start again. Who knows.
Fairly early on we found a game where you have to use a gun to make a step to get over a hill. This is absurd. There are also dozens disgusting hateful elements that made us declare it the worst for the console.
I’ll admit part of my goal with the project/activity was to find the absolute worst for the console. I knew what it was for PC Engine (Darkwing Duck) and SFC (Fune Tarou). But figuring out what was the worst for the megadrive fascinated me.
At the large in person gathering of friends this year, we made the mistake of announcing what was the worst for the console in front of everyone. We warned that joy could not be found in this game.
A few hours later I noticed a friend had the Saved Shenmue shirt on. I also happen to have been dumb enough to have supported Shenmue 3 Kickstarter and SAVED SHENMUE. He walked around announcing “We saved Shenmue.” He then got very dour and quiet and had an intense look in his eyes.
I turned around to see what he saw. We both were looking at someone playing REDACTED. I walked over and yelled, “Why are you playing REDACTED.” It wasn’t a question. Very soon the other friends would announce, “Wow this game sucks.”
That weekend I would turn around no less than four times to find someone else playing this game. No one would be having a good time with it. A solumn dark look would over take their eyes.
It’s not fun anymore to say REDACTED is the worst game for the Megadrive, because you will end up playing it and increasing the world’s misery.
