Now in the 90s is a gaming retrospective series hosted by Jared Knabenbauer focusing on Video Games of the 1990s. Each week, the show covers games that were released approximately the same week 30 years ago.The series began in April 2022 as a featured series of Jared's own YouTube channel. Because the release schedule was far more frequent than his own reviews, it was spun off into its own channel at the end of the year after it gained a following.Every Friday, Jared discusses three relevant games released that week, giving a historical overview of each along with contemporary ratings from gaming magazines and sales figures, usually stating his own opinion as well. Editor Dylan will then give a quick rundown of the rest of the titles released that week in the Rapid-Fire Releases segment, finishing up with Jared comparing the price of each game he reviewed at launch to the average selling price of a used copy today.Now in the 90s can be found here. | |

Bait-and-Switch: Jared can't invite 12 friends to play the 12-player multiplayer mode of Romance Of The Three Kingdoms II for Super Nintendo instead of Super Mario Kart. It's not because it's a very complex and difficult to learn Turn-Based Strategy game that isn't suited for a party, but because he only has three or four friends, all of whom declined wondering why they couldn't just play Mario Kart instead. When describing a Genesis game releasing where the player fights with a whip, the cover art for Castlevania: Bloodlines starts to appear, only for Jared to be revealed that he's actually talking about Earnest Evans. | |
