Advantages: High-quality games, excellent music, nostalic value.

Disadvantages: You can't save games!

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 Adventure, and The Lion King. The games never grow old, and the music is fun and enjoyable. In fact, the only downside now that we've lived through technological advancement lies in the fact that games can't be saved - some give you passwords at the end of each level, and some see you forced back to the start every time you play, which can be more than a little annoying!
My Mega Drive, even now, is reliable and strong. Forget the XBox 360 'Red Ring Of Death', this thing is built to last; and there's something special about slotting a game as old as yourself into a console for a true retro experience. Far better, in my opinion, than any graphic-powerful console on the market today.

Summary: High-quality retro gaming on a console built to last; suitable for all!
