its basically a cut down console (about half the size of the original ) with 2pads n leads n everything ,

but , it has 15 built in classic megadrive games ,,,,,,, plus best of all you can insert any old megadrive game in it , from any region , jap, american whatever .

got to be a bargain .

Thats smart, and a bargain..... i recall..[ puff of smoke and a mysty hase of nostalga ] going to by a 16 bit from ses computers...

Came loaded with Golden Axe and i scrimped pocket money for what seemed like a life time, cost me £79.99, and that was cash back then to a grubby teenager beleve....

Also picked up ALEX KID in mirical world i think it was... amoung a vast collection i eventually amassed, just to give the entire lot away when i moved to Canada when i was 16.......[ gutted ]


Went to Game station Monday gone and bought a decent 360 package thru a slightly wierd family member i have that works there....

£229.99 for a 60 gig model

Resi 5 and extra controller
Need for speed undercover
Fracture
Dead Space
Topspin 3....


Not a bad bundle as it was all new and sealed...

Resi 5 is amasing, but very short.....nfs is fuckin nails... even burnout paradise was easier than this....As for dead space....

HAS TO BE. the best survival horror yet... [ havn't played silent hill home coming though].......Which is firmly on the " to but list "...

Sounds good,might have to get one.Any idea what games are on it? I take it sonic etc will be on there.

ive also got the " ultimate megadrive collection " for ps3,,,,,,,, it contains 40 megadrive games + some original sega arcade ports like shinobi .

to be fair it has every game on it , that the new console thingy has built in ,


but im still gonna get one , because there's hundreds of great cartridge's out there worth hunting down ,,,,,,,,,,, gunstar heroes , aladin , quackshot , truxton , tiger heli , mercs , double dragon , outrun , ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, hundreds ,,,,,,,, even castle of illusion (micky mouse ) superb game ,,,,,,,,,

quackshot lee is immense, one of my games for the island, i love playing it so much, alladin aswell is awesome, got that too

If any of you guys like shoot em ups I can recommend Thunder Force 3 & Gynoug for the Megadrive as 2 of the best. Gynoug especially is not very well known but a great game with awesome music (for a Megadrive).

quackshot is indeed a top megadrive game crosb m8 ,,,,,,,, red plunger , green plunger , hewey dewey louie , petes gang , india , egypt ,,,,,,,, its such a top drawer title ,,,,,,, graphics on the ice stage are unbelievable for megadrive , have completed it many times .



aladin is top too .

i think a lot of people are put off by the disney kiddie image,,,,,,,,, but there missing out on two class titles from disney,,,,,,,,,, + castle of illusion 3 top disney games

Always preferred snes to megadrive. Couple of classics i remember on megadrive are Gunstar Heroes and Streets of Rage 2, but snes had Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Super Metroid, (plus a million other classics that need no listing)..

Its worth it just for flicky. I love that game, shame the graphics look like a specky 48k.

Can't believe I missed this thread!

Quackshot
Absolute gem of a game this! The music was superb, not to mention the graphics! Loved everything about this game - that indian level had great music, but the door-maze stage of it was pretty difficult!

World of Illusion
My favourite Mickey & Donald game - the game had different stages dependant on who you picked to play. Again, the graphics and music were top notch. Possibly a tad too easy though. I still give it a blast on the emulator now and then.

Streets of Rage series
Number 2 had to be my favourite one of the three - with number 3 being my least favourite. Stunning, stunning music - I recall doing a few remixes of it as a young teenager (hmm, something I really need to get back into doing!) Technically brilliant as well, with sometimes over 10 full-size characters on-screen (yes, there were limitations on that sort of thing back in the 90s!)

Sonic the Hedgehog series
Not much needs to be said about these - again, the second one was my favourite. So smooth to play, with great level design. The only slight critisicm would be that sometimes it was 'too' fast - causing you to miss out on so much of the game!

Ghouls and Ghosts
An arcade game that I remember playing every saturday lunchtime when I went to the local connie club (we're not even tories, but it was cheap!) with my dad. Loved playing it again on the Megadrive. Bloody difficult though!

Gynoug
I remember getting this for christmas when I was about 10 and firing up the MD at about half 5 in the morning to give it a blast. You play this sort of angel who flies through various caverns shooting at things. Some good water effects IIRC. Another good one to have in the collection.

Garies
This was a horizontal shooter to end all horizontal shooters! Great gameplay and graphics. You could 'purloin' any enemies weapon by sending out a tracking device that would latch on to the enemy and transfer it's weapon to you (and usually kill the enemy). There were these huge beams that me and my brother used to call 'Chunk Lasers' that wiped out all and sundry. Again, quite difficult, but a really good blast.

There's loads more, but, well, I better go and do some work!
