Just thought I'd give a quick mention and a happy birthday to the Mega Drive as it came out in Japan on the 29th of october 1988.
You've served us well.

A very happy birthday indeed. :)

A work colleague of mine has, just this morning, given me her 32x. She gave me her Mega CD yesterday and shall be passing on her Mega Drive tomorrow.

So, by the weekend, I can celebrate its birthday in style. :biggrin:

Albeit free, I'll get her something in return for these.

It is because at the moment, I can't use any of them. :rolleyes:

Have you considered getting a capture card for your computer? While it might not be able to work with RF (antenna), I believe there are AV cables for these.

Will you get the controllers on Friday? :D

Eh, yea but I find using my monitor a pain so it's very temporary, maybe if I can grab a MD1 it wouldn't be so bad, since I don't have speakers for my PC.

Just gave that a brief look through but I was distracted by the Mother 3 review. Kinda tl;dr, maybe Gametrailers will do one.

Kudos for SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive!!! =D

My Genesis is still working after almost 16 years when my parents gave it to me for the first time as gift. Thatīs what I call a potent console.

This console brings me good memories, really.

Ahhh it's great that people celebrate it! It literally changed my life, I remember finding out my parents had got me and my brother one to share for Christmas, I asked for it so much I (we) got it in August! Got it with Sonic, Chuck Rock and Road Rash, and then that was me addicted ever since, sooo many memories of the Mega Drive, especially the one where I got suspended from school and just sat at home playing Sonic 3 & Knuckles allll day long!

The Mega Drive is the reason why i'm a die hard Sega Fanboy!

As I love the Mega drive so much I stayed up all night and have written my own retrospective on the system.

The mega drive came out in october 1988 and is really,really, really good.............


I think coming along nicely so far, any tips are welcome.

"A possible solution for a world, so far dominated by a small artefact white, which attracted the people of all the world, the NES."

Another idea. Sorry if it sounds odd, but I like to read books and create those sentences, altough I donīt have experience.
