Sega Megadrive

Jack burton

Just wanted to put up a thread that if anyone in the Waterford area has any sega megadrive games up in the attic or anything I'd be more than happy to buy them off ye.

seanybiker

Just get an emulator and a few roms. I so want a mega drive though. Gimme it

Jack burton

Ah i have the emulators but I also have well over 100 complete megadrive games on my shelves and I want more

be great if someone local just happened to have a ton of then up in the attic or somthing

seanybiker

100 originals. Good god that is awesome. Dont think I have any but sure if I see them floating around you can have em.

Jack burton

ah if you do let me know

Rainbow records had a load of them that he was selling for like a quid or something. I don't think anyone was too interested so he probably doesn't even have them on shelves anymore...might be worth asking him. His name is Gorgeous Tom.

Jack burton

Really? I must take a look at that, I'll be in town tomorrow

Is that his real name or is there a slap waiting for anyone to call him that?

abouttobebanned

Saw a bunch of mega drive games up the back of cash converters there a while ago (near the DVD's) boxed and unboxed a quid or two a piece. Might be worth a look - is that place still open ?

seanybiker

is greg still in there?

ziedth

I was about to say cash converters,

I downloaded roms for every game ever released for the megadrive a few years ago. It's not the same tbh but it's amazIng maybe 10 of the games are still even today really good.

Jack burton

Thats a big fail with rainbow records and cash converters, or cash conivience as its called now on the quay.

So now im relying on attic raids :P

ziedth

eBay?

abouttobebanned

Did gorgeous tom even tell ya what he did with all the games he used to have?

Jack burton

Ah ebay sellers have inflated prices and even if you do find a good deal they do ya on the shipping. Even though I do get stuff off there a good bit

Gorgeous tom said he hasnt done them for years, didnt say what he did with them, I didnt think of asking either

Way more than 10 boy, that computer was lethal. Never cleared that fooking ghosts and ghouls or goblins or whatever ya call it. Thats it. Off to play it now.

Jack burton

Ah theres some load of games that are still brilliant to play, once you get past the fact that its not a ps3 and get into a game its fantastic

ziedth

If you can get your hands on shining force 1 and 2 once you should pay anything for them.

If you can live with the galourious amount if campness u think it rivals any rpg on the xbox.

Prob is more then 10 senseible soccer is better then iss pro or FIFA for sheer fun to play.

Honestly if you get allot of roms and shell out for a decent joypad there is no difference really.

I won a megadrive around 1996/7, about the same time Playstations and Nintendo 64s came along.

I didn't play it much because it was about absolete, and I wasn't so into video games at that stage. More of a nintendo person anyway.

So its in more or less perfect condition in my attic, plus I bought an extra controller.

It came with Dr Robotniks mean bean machine, and I think Sonic 1 and Sonic 2.

I wouldn't sell the game separately, but I suppose I should try shift it on ebay or something.

It is as far as I remember.

Its in my parents attic, and I wont be home for a few weeks.

I hope I still have it, unless it was given to SVP or something.

If it's still in the box, methinks it'd be well worth lobbing on ebay for a pretty penny tbh

Jack burton

Well its not worth a huge ammout or anything just because its in the box, mabye 50 euro
