Mega Drive

CiDeRmAn

I was just in the old games room this morning, sadly neglected these days, have a 3 year old to thank there, and I powered up the megadrive/32x and Mega CD, lovely jubbly, had a lash on Virtua Racing, Thunderforce IV and Sonic CD, great stuff, if only my NES was as reliable, just about let me play a spot of Wild Gunman and Kirby this morning, I am not a happy camper, and thats with the main connector inside replaced a couple of months ago, I still get the flashing grey screen of depression, makes me mad I tell you.

Ah thats a pity, bring it to the place you got it fixed and tell them you want it done again.

I loved Thunderforce IV, it took me forever to clear it Lots o' levels and the bg music in it was super.

I have the game for my SNES emu, so I'm happy. There was a megadrive version as well apparently that never made it out of the US "Genesis" market. I have that as well on emu, but it just doesn't compare with the SNES version sadly.

Have to say my all time personal favourite game on the MD was Mega-lo-mania. Pure magic so it was. I never throught SF2 was as good on the MD as it was on the SNES particularly when it came to sound.

That said, now this may just be me, but MK didn't have a patch on street fighter. I only ever played it for the fatalities outside of that the game was extremely limited. I finished the whole game after a couple of days of trying. SF2 took me ages it was/is the complete all round skill based fighting game.

Also loved Tekken and Tekken 2 on the DC (or was it the saturn!)...

Dont be at yourself

Tekken and Tekken 2 were PSOne exclusives, no?

Also, SF2 wasn't difficult, and indeed could be finished using only a single move again and again and again. Still better than MK though!

MK definitely wasn't a patch on SF2 and the SNES versions were far better than the MD versions of both SF2 and the MK games from 2 onwards.

Tekken was on the Playstation!

Mortal Kombat sucked and has always sucked, never a big fan of SF2 either, in fact the only fighting game I ever enjoyed was Tekken 3, go figure.
As for the Megadrive, and the Snes for that matter, we can only hope that the trend for re-releasing classics either updates or sequels will continue on the GBA and DS, awaiting ChronoTrigger, I have it on the Xbox but its not the same.
As for the repair on the Nes, my brother ordered it and fitted it, and the machine worked a treat initially but was soon back to its flashing days, I may request a pocket fami for fathers day!

Had a MD and 32X and a load of sweet games but no one has an idea what happened to em

So.. I bought me a mint condition boxed mark 1 megadrive yesterday with boxed versions Sonic 1 and 2, Street of Rage 1, Micro Machines and Gunstar Heroes : ) Gotta get me SOR2 (possibly 3 if I can find a reasonably priced one), SF2, Earthworm Jim, Cool Spot, Desert Strike Series. Also got myself an official 6 button pad too Am delighted.


Will go nicely with me Snes, N64 and Saturn.. All that is left now is a Dreamcast, 32X, MegaCD, Master System and NES

For god sake! SF2 is a martial art compared to the slow dullness of Tekken.

Jammy bastard! Someone robbed my copy and can't afford to replace it. Gunstar Heroes alone is probably worth what you paid for the full package.

Bought the Megadrive on one auction for 25 euro and had 6 unboxed games bundled with it..

Bought the rest of the games seperately with Gunstart Heroes in particular costing me 21 euro.. The other games were bought in seperate auctions and came to about 4 euro each. Everything has got to be boxed!!

All in all, I have bought the following in the past 2 weeks:

Boxed Snes Console and Starfox bundle
Boxed Super Mario Kart
Boxed Street Fighter 2 Turbo

Boxed N64 Console
Boxed Mario 64
Boxed Goldeneye
Boxed Bamjo Kazooie

Boxed Megadrive Console with a bundle of 6 poxy game
Boxed Sonic 1
Boxed Sonic 2
Boxed Gunstar Heroes
Boxed Streets of Rage
Boxed Micro Machines
Official 6 button controller

Boxed Fighters Megamix
Boxed Fighting Vipers


Still loads more games to buy along with 2 or 3 consoles

The most annoying thing about ebay is the auctions that you miss by accident. Missed a handful of guality games because i forgot. By the time I remember its always too late.

There was a Tekken Vs Virtua Fighter on the Mega Drive. And Virtua Fighter was on the Master System. They were both absolute ****e but they were on there nevertheless!

Anybody who's a Street Fighter fan will find this video a must watch. I was crying laughing at it.
