Sega Megadrive Reviews

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

The Mega-Drive marked the beginning of the end of my social life. I got this, my first ever games console for Christmas in 1994 (is it really that long ago?) and whilst by today's standards its technologically ancient, it delivered a huge amount of simple fun. It must be said, the Mega-Drive II (same as the Mega-Drive, but smaller) is ...  Read the complete review

Wow.... the Sega Megadrive.... How amazing was this machine??? When it came out it was the crem de la creme of all game consoles. I mean, you had the difficult choice to make of whether to go for Mario and Luigi, the Italian plumbers on a Nintendo console, or the wonder that was Sonic the Hedgehog on a Sega console. Where is the choice in that? ...  Read the complete review

All the parts are just more ...  Read the complete review

Sega's Mega Drive was perhaps the first games console to really capture the public eye and go mainstream. For the first time ever playing computer games was no longer the haunt of the 'geek'. It was Sega's finest hour, but sadly also it's last great success, after the Mega Drive things went downhill fast for the Japanese ...  Read the complete review

Choosing Sega over the competitors was easy - this was their console golden age (days long gone unfortunately) - even a starry-eyed Sonic lover like myself could see, however, that the end was nigh - just by looking at some of those SNES games. And the following Saturn was a disappointment to most. But I'm here to discuss the Megadrive. So ...  Read the complete review

I've only just realised that there's a category for this console here by stumbling across it, which is nice. It's something for me to review, having owned one. Back in the good old days (pre-better Playstation days), there were only 2 console companies out there slugging it out and delivering great machines and games: Sega and ...  Read the complete review

Most serious gamers will have had at one time a Sega Megadrive.We of course now have a play station but the mega drive still comes out now and again…. Why? Well the main reason is The Sonic The Hedgehog games… I just love them! There are numerous to play, Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic and Knuckles, Sonic boom and Sonic 3D. ...  Read the complete review

If you never had a megadrive then you must of been on the moon, the Megadrive was the best console on the market, it did not have the graphical abilities of the SNES but it had the best games, as anybody who knows games knows that SEGA make the best games available. There was a cd addition to the MD that brought it into the new area of ...  Read the complete review
