I’ve got three Sega Genesis games in this Retro Runback, two of them you may not even remember. But that’s what I’m here for.

The Sega Genesis was actually the first console I ever played. It is also home to my ultimate gaming nemesis, The Lion King. But beyond that incredibly traumatic experience, I actually enjoyed my time with it. Three games in particular will remain forever etched in my memory and I’m excited to run through them here. And two of them are games that feel like I’m the only person who remembers them.

I loved and no one I talk to seems to have even known this game existed. It was a random collection of diorama-like environments that you could place a bunch of stamps and stickers on, then choose music to play over them. You were able to color the stamps however you wanted and place them anywhere. I actually think this is where my love of music came from. There was a particular world you could go to where you could just mess with different robots holding instruments. It was a simple ass game, meant to be sort of an arts and crafts thing for kids. Being that it was on the Sega Genesis, they threw in a little extra Sonic branding to get a few more copies out the door.
