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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Sega Megadrive!! Wow I was so jealous of my friend for having one of these when I was younger. Sega Megadrive is one of the older games consoles, it plays many types of games such as arcade and platform of which a lot of the games were 3d!. Sega megadrives consoles are quite large and black in colour and have a control ...  Read the complete review

There seems to be an amazing interest lately in older games consoles such as the Sega Mega Drive, many of my friends have purchased these for quite an impressive price, I am lucky for having the foresight and love of the console not to chuck away my Mega Drive at the first sight of the Playstation, and as such am still the proud player of classic ...  Read the complete review

I do have realy fond memories of the Sega Mega Drive, the 16 bit console was the star of the Sega Empire in the early nineties and I much preferred it to the competition from Nintendo. Compared with what is on offer today is was a basic model suitable only for playing games and there was no need to worry about onine playing. It had two ...  Read the complete review

Released in Japan in 1988, and then later released in the UK in 1990, the Sega Mega Drive was one of the pioneering 16 bit consoles. The first game I happened to come across running on the Mega Drive was Strider. With its arcade like graphics, faced paced visuals and multiple enemies on screen this game immediately caught my attention. One could ...  Read the complete review

OK, to be perfectly honest, I didn't like this 16-bit system here all that much at first mainly because it killed off my beloved TurboGrafx-16. I bought one off my cousin for only 10 bucks and I still didn't like it (maybe it was the games I had like Ballz and X-men). I thought it was only a matter of time before it would make a trip to Mr. ...  Read the complete review

While regarded by many as nothing but a mere shadow of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System(or SNES for short), Sega’s Megadrive, or ‘Genesis’ as the Americans called it, was a fine little console in it’s day, and even now, 10 years after it was declared ‘dead’, many of it’s games still hold up well today in the jaded market of rehashed ...  Read the complete review

The Sega Mega-Drive is a superb console machine of the past. Utilising all Sega's knowledge of the arcade market, the games were invariably fast, furious and addictive. Indeed, is there anyone in the UK, sorry, the WORLD who hasn't heard of Sonic the Hedgehog? I have to admit, the reason I write this review is that boyfriend ...  Read the complete review

Some of the games seem realy easy to complete now but there is still one game that i have never got passed and thats Dizzy, the main reason for ...  Read the complete review

My grandson who is only four absolutely loves it, he plays the Sonic games ...  Read the complete review

Playing game with the comfortably jostick is very interesting and attractive.There are many games you will never find on computer because of computer requirements. ...  Read the complete review

Though it doesn't look much nowadays, the Sega Mega Drive, or Genesis in the USA, defined a generation. Rarely could you find a Sega-free household throughout the early 90's, unless they had turned to the console's biggest rival, Nintendo's SNES. I was at a perfect age when the Mega Drive was in full flow. Being only 7 or 8, I could ...  Read the complete review

It is the very early 90s, you'll have to pretend anyway as I don?t think it is anymore, and the Super Nintendo and the Sega Megadrive are the only consoles worth mentioning. There has never been more rivalry or outright feuding in the market; in a possibly controversial and troubling way, the consoles were capable of dividing youth into the Mario ...  Read the complete review

This review is not intended to try and persuade or dissuade anyone into buying a Sega Megadrive, so I suppose by default it shouldn't be written. But I enjoy reminiscing about my youth, hopefully you will too if you are of a similar upbringing, this is my chance for a bit of fun. Come with me now on a trip down memory lane... It is ...  Read the complete review
