Is there any place in the city I could pick up a Sega Mega Drive?

    The only place so far I have thought of is Cash Converters. Is there any other shops around which are worth having a look in? I used to have a mega drive and loads of games, maybe 30 or 40 all in great condition but a few years ago I got rid of them all. Now I wish I hadn't. :(

    Any suggestions?

    you can buy all kinds of old consoles and games in a shop on north main street, cant remember the name but its obvious as it has loads of games in the window, I got a dreamcast in there which I have wanted for ages:D

    Try Cash converters or the Echo free ads on a tuesday... Failing that you can order new mega drive consoles on the likes of Play.com with 150 classic games built in. Or if that does not work then just download emulators onto your PC and away you go with some retro action...

    I think I'll go in again tomorrow when everything is open and take a walk around. I'll post the name of the place if I find it.

    The name of the shop is Cent Wise, it is just across the road from Tony's Bistro. I went in there today as I was curious after reading this thread.

    The Megadrives are 89 Euro including cables. If you had the cables already he said he could do it a bit cheaper so if you are any good at haggling it could be worth a try.
