ice cap zone theme is a massive bop, and so is the original hard times. easily my favorite new wave song named hard times, apologies to paramore.

i don't understand why raocow doesn't just turn on the 3d slider on his playstation one. yeah it reduces battery life, but the game was built for it!

hello, welcome to my new console. it's very cheap so unfortunately its soundchip supports zero timbre, all you've got is square waves. what sort of game would you like to make for it? hmmm i'm thinking a game where you listen to and learn about music, and how to differentiate the sounds of different...

it is mindboggling how many sonic games were produced between 2 and 3. they just really went all out on making him a Phenomenon like immediately.

father, i can click the book

thank you for making up lost time and getting an extra 1% this video to keep up the nice geometric pattern

pop the so-called """""puyo"""""

Really? How do you control a platformer with a mouse? i'd recommend checking out Mickey Mania, it does it pretty well. the weird panning keeps making me paranoid my headphones are breaking ;_; legit impressed at the water ripple effects, there's no built-in or anything like that in flash, right? al...

that was by a country mile the strongest boss robot robotnik has built so far!! it took like 30 hits! shame it has zero offense capability

extremely digressive, but dang, i forgot how much the yen refuses to inflate. that's 5.5% over 26 years, and 0.2% yearly!!!

to be fair, it definitely sounded like that squirrel went uki uki, so i also assumed it was a monkey

software preservation is a long, difficult, and thankless ambition. people who buy priceless things and refuse to dump/reveal them for no other reason other than to maintain ownership of Pure Imparted Value are the true dr. robotniks. also speaking of dr. robotnik, did he take ballet lessons as a ch...

this video is sponsored by Sonic Space! use code "raocow" to get up to $5 off your first spaceflight!

hold on, the ending cinematic is making me think: are eggman's robots in this one powered by flowers instead of animals

like i understand animals perpetually running on a wheel or something, but how's a flower supposed to generate electricity?? it doesn't even have light!

this video is the perfect length to listen to the brawlbrstms3 x extended video of the japanese bad future theme!

i know about this game only because i was a big fan of professor layton, and then this came out and kind of vaguely reminds you about it, so i constantly was like, "hmm, maybe i should be playing that." but i never did. and thank god i didn't, because whatever people say about luke's american voice ...

it's infuriating how much you have to actively fight against a mechanic which by all accounts should be cool and incredibly fun. i don't think this game was designed. at least in regards to gameplay.

check out the incredible new sega cd! redbook audio? no problem, have as much of it as you could ever want. rendering 50 coins at once? woah, slow down there, buckoo, this ain't a supercomputer. also, what's up with the vertical scrolling in this zone? the background just stops going up at a point, ...

Fun Sonic Facts! In Surprisingly Magnetic, Boon is revealed to be a magnetic monopole; i.e., he has a universal pole of north. Though some theories assert such things could exist, there is no experimental evidence towards it. Boon is a scientific marvel and must be studied closer. That's all I can t...

the concept of Tetris Go (but in a different way than other games that end in the word Go) is blowing my mind. also, to anyone worried about the ethical standards here: the disclaimer at the front says unauthorized distribution "may constitute a violation of international lows [sic]" so don't worry,...

hey, this video fits both of raocow's video length rules!

who would've thunk that the level where you are running on the wings of a biplane several miles in the air as it chases after a flying fortress was actually the most chill and laid back level of like, the entire sonic genesis library

as someone who is only familiar with the classique sonic games on a pretty casual level and never actually got around to playing them/watching someone else play them, this is one of the stages that i have never heard of before . and it's pretty good! what's up with that! also, i can't believe that t...

um, it is not "cool" that this casino has elevators. their presence is mandated by disability laws, and is completely necessary to maintain an accessible environment. sonic should stop advertising what should be an industry standard as a "level set piece" if he were at all a responsible business owner

oh boooooooooy bad bootlegs

when you get back to this i highly recommend savestates because it's not forgiving now and it's not going to lighten up later

for instance, the final level is an invisible maze and navigating it within the timer is extremely difficult

wow, that is a weird path. and as a digression, because i easily get digressed by web design: that site looks really good! look at that cute background bordering the content! it's not gaudy, but it has a lot of charm and character. wish more websites were like that <.<
