    Gaming on the Brain Podcast Season 2

    Episode 4 - Sega does what Nintendont….but can Sony do it better?

    In this episode we revert back to our teenage persona's and revisit that age old battle from the playground of the mid 90's. Sega was better at this, Nintendo had this game that Sega couldn't beat, Sony had final fantasy 7...... Expect less acne and hormones but the same old debate.

    Some points from this episode

    • Favourite Sega games
    • Favourite Nintendo games
    • Favourite Sony games
    • Whos games were better

    Gaming on the Brain is an independent channel for the gamers, by gamers. Your hosts are Glenn, Mark, and Jamie, and we love video games, just like you. We started this channel as it provided an opportunity to get together more often and play the games we love and record our adventures in doing so. It also provides a further opportunity to play some games we have never had the pleasure (or displeasure) of playing and in doing so maybe even introduce our audience to games they didn’t realise existed.


    We plan on sticking around for a while and we are always looking at ways to evolve and keep the channel fresh in order to keep our existing audience hungry for more, and to pull in a larger audience in the process. Having said that, we are always open to ideas on how better to engage with our viewers so if you have any suggestions please reach out to us in the comments section of our videos or on our occasional community threads.


    If you enjoy the content we provide, please share with your friends and family and help us grow this channel so we can bring you even more great content. For now we will be here, giving it our best shot and feeling thankful for the opportunity and for every single view, like and new subscriber. 🕹️🧠❤️


    FYI, some of our favourite games include; Golden Axe; Streets of Rage; Double Dragon; Halo; Twisted Metal; Gears of War; Pit Fighter; Resident Evil, and many many more.

    Note: We did originally have the outstanding assault theme from Golden Axe II - The Revenge of Death Adder as our closing song but some body cried about it in Kosovo. Therefore we had to remove the song.

    Sorry, and i can only assume that none of the 2 million Kosovars were harmed in the making of this episode.
