Sega Megadrive

The Sega Mega Drive II console was a highlight of my childhood. When my parents sold it to upgrade to a PlayStation, I was devastated. Years later, filled with nostalgic memories and a longing for the games and soundtracks of my past, I bought a console again and became a collector of Mega Drive and Master System games. I've not been disappointed. The console is a true great - a legend amongst those who grew up with it, and an excellent talking point when guests are visiting. The range of games is more than extensive, and there's something to suit everyone - games for girls, for boys, for young and old. Favourites of mine include Land of Illusion, Talmit's ...  Read the complete review

I am the proud owner of the Mega Drive version 1, not to mention the other Segas, also have the Mega CD still. Cool? I thought I was the coolest kid in class owning these. Mega Drive was Sega's third console. It was a the first ever 16 bit console released in Japan in 1988 and in America in 1989. It was released in the rest of the world in 1990. It had the name Genesis in North America (apparently because Sega was unable to secure the rights to the Mega Drive name. So now you know!). It has sold over 29 million units worldwide thus making it Segas best selling console, quite rightly too. The story= My first experience of the Mega ...  Read the complete review

This console released in 1990 has made a popular recognition to people worldwide, and truly has made a landmark in video game history with it's wonderful games library and quality of gaming graphics, playability and stereo sound. In my opinion this is the must have retro console if you were to own only one of them, the games released for it were incredibly good, well i certainly never get bored of them, and i still go back to this console and play all the games i have for it! There were two versions released, the first one (Megadrive 1) had features like a headphone socket and was reasonably big, then years later a new model was released (Megadrive ...  Read the complete review

The pinnacle of 16-bit gaming and my first console, a good few years after it was released in Europe as I was 1 when it was released here and not even born when if was introduced to Japan! This console is Sega's SNES killer from the 90's and by the power of Sonic the hedgehog at the helm did it succeed. When Mario came with the SNES, Sega needed something to try and level out the playing field and that knight in shining armour came in the form of a blue spikey hedgehog and later his hovering sidekick Tails! This console was just so amazing and was well suited to arcade style games such as the epic Super Hang On motorbike game I got hours ...  Read the complete review

The sega mega drive is by far the best console out there i had one of these when i was about 10 and loved it then! They are coming back into fashion now as a retro console but people under estimate how difficult these older games are it took me months to get through and complete games and once you died there was no way of reviving yourself, you had to start again!! The best game on this console is de cap attack this game is a classic platform game with 3 mini games to each level and then a boss at the end of each level you could collect items to use like the invinsibility shield 10 seconds where you were un touchable except if you fell in the lava, that would kill ...  Read the complete review
