This is a discussion topic video about the fourth generation of videogame consoles. This will be part three of my nine part mini-series. Here we will discuss the Sega Genesis (AKA Mega Drive), the second entry in to the fourth generation of game consoles.
“It did Pretty well in South America”
*is literally the longest lasting console of all time*
how long?
james hartley you can get brand new sega master system consoles in South America still
That goes to NES. sega stop making consoles before the decade was over
@@waynecampbell6033 no actually you can still buy new Sega Genesis and Sega master system consoles in South America to this day. It is the longest running console but If you don’t wanna count that the Atari 2600 was first sold in stores in 1977 and when the Super Nintendo and Genesis were out you could still buy brand new Atari 2600 consoles.
The Sega Genesis. The console that raised me as a child more than my parents did.
Dave Graham Ha.
Game Consoles - almost a parent replacement.
Lol
More like kept you out of trouble, and if you happen to have a baby sitter your parents would get good feed back from them by saying "he was good and stayed in his room and and had dinner flawlessly" :)
@@hectorleon465 How do you have dinner flawlessly
I wonder if Pamela Anderson is compatible with the 32X.
u do not kno de wae
after Tommy Lee I think anything would fit
32x is probably her tit size
Eight-bit Cartridge lol
The trademark was owned by Mega Drive Systems Inc, a computer hardware company.
Back in the day we owned a Sega Master System and Sega Mega Drive. My cousins owned one, my friends owned one. But no one, and I repeat, no one that knew owned a NES or Super NES. I'm not even sure if it was well known in Australia. Personally, I had never even heard of Nintendo until I purchased a VHS copy of Toy Story back in 1995 or 1996 and the Super Nintendo was mentioned in the advertisement for the video game tie-in before the movie started. Years later I saw The Wizard, but the NES never jumped out at me. The first Nintendo console that I ever saw was Nintendo 64, a friend had one and was playing Goldeneye on it, but I ultimately picked the Sony PlayStation over it. We didn't own a Saturn or Dreamcast, but until 2002 or 2003 there was even gigantic arcade called Sega World, it was full of games and rides and so forth. Sega certainly left its mark on Australia.
I Same as you mate
It's weird how SEGA was more of a thing than Nintendo here. My Dad owned a Master System when it was out, and never heard of Nintendo until the Gameboy.
Easier and cheaper to find Gameboy, Master System, and Mega Drive games
Adam, John Petrucci the guitarist in the prog-Metal band, Dream Theater did the soundtrack for one of the Sonic games.
Learning a couple of weeks ago the passing of your mother and when u mention her n ur videos warms me she gave u great video game memories
Adam, I have to say my brother’s favorite console....Saga Genesis. My brother was born in March ‘79 and I have a sister born in November ‘81. We all have memories playing video games. I remember when we got the Genesis....we would play Golden Axe & Altered Beast for hours!!!!!
I love this video. The Mega Drive/Genesis is and will always be my favourite console you really did the console justice with this vid.
Cheers
The best part about the model 1 was the headphone jack + volume slider, so you could play at night without your parents knowing it...
Adam, don't ever stop making your videos. I feel nostalgia every time I watch you talk about these system's. I truly feel something is lost or something is missing with these new systems. Granted there are great games on the new generation consoles but with all the problems of dev's and there shit riddled day 1 fixes and charging dlc for every freakin game I'm starting to hate gaming on any system. What I hope for is another video game industry crash so we can finally go back to where we started.
Hypertenzionz
I watch this video to feel better. Your energy and excitement is contagious. +1 to top comments over 600.
Glad I could help!
Hey Adam from the UK! I'm a big fan of the show and it's turned me on to Sega, a company which I largely missed. My housemates bought me a Mega Drive for my 21st birthday yesterday and I cannot wait to start collecting some awesome stuff! Keep it up bro.
Bossonnnnn Glad I could help, thanks for watching!
An original Megadrive?
Great vid =) Love the Genesis and found some of the stuff you talked about very interesting!
GadgetUK164 Thanks for watching!
Man, when you put in Sonic and Knuckles into the top of the 32x I just realized that the SEGA was growing and my first thought was SEGA Destructicons
You have a talent to just relax and be your self in front of the camera and it makes for a great video. Thanks for sharing all your info , it’s a pleasure to watch!
Thinking bout getting a genesis so really appreciate the video didn't think there were so many variations. My first game might either be Comic Zone or Rocket Knight
Hearing you talk about your momma in this video broke my heart been watching you for a while. Hope you’re okay Adam. Love your videos
sega advertising guy: what are you making? Nintendo:a snes. sega:put a Genesis in there ohh wait.
Remember playing Comic Zone via the sega channel in my friends basement. The sega channel device used the local cable company connection to download the games. Sega has always been ahead of their time.
Sega Channel was the best. $13 a month for 50ish games. So so good. Better than renting games before buying. Sega Channel is how I found Flicky, Ristar, Streets of Rage 2, and Biohazard Battle. In my opinion, Sega is the most innovative console company ever. People can argue Nintendo, but Sega did so much stuff that often gets overlooked.
I was quite stunned when you showed all the different versions and add ons for it.
Stevie G Hopefully in a good way.
AdamKoralik Indeed. I knew there were lots of models of the Genesis/Megadrive but I never realized just how much. After watching this video, I appreciate Sega a lot more than what I did :)
Another fantastic video.. a trip back through history ..brilliant !
***** Thanks for watching!
You're the most energetic UA-camr I've ever seen, man. I agree on Streets of Rage 2 and Sonic 2 being better games than the other ones in the series... Back in the day I randomly rented and played that weird McDonald's game you mentioned and it was the trippiest/coolest/most fun shit you could rent ... Have you ever played Landstalker? What about Kid Chameleon? Those are true Mega Drive gems that deserve dozens of sequels, but won't get them because Sega's company policies are donkey doo-doo!
***** Thanks! I don't think I ever did actually. Kid Chameleon I did. Sega doesn't do crap with most of their IPs.
In 1993, my brother & I were going to my Grandad's for Christmas & Mum & Dad told us to bring the NES with us with all the games which confused us. Christmas rolls along & there are two massive boxes plus other gifts. I had one small one thinking it was a WWF VHS I wanted but I opened it & it was Alien 3 for the MEGA DRIVE. I suddenly realised what one of the big boxes was. We got a MEGA DRIVE with a MEGA CD. Best Christmas ever! Lol. The MEGA DRIVE was my uncle's first so we got a lot of games including Duel Test Drive II which my friends kept borrowing. My NES went to my cousin who got robbed before Christmas. Aladdin was also one of my favourite games for the MEGA DRIVE. We had that until 1997 when we got a PSONE. Cleaning out my garage I found my old MEGA DRIVE with power cord. I bought a SCART & a controller & it works!!! But the MEGA CD is broken & the area it connected to is exposed & I don't have the cover for it which sucks & I bought my friends old NES. Lol
That montage was very funny! I also can't believe the Sega Channel thing, that's insane.
Dude, you're hilarious, love your work ! I found your channel a few days back and thanks to your recaps, I've learnt more gaming history in 1 week than I had in 1 year ! cheers, and subbed !
+Aero7SVR Thanks!
A thing to note is many people have done videos and discussions on this.
Prices are skyrocketing, due to synthetic price raises not value raises.
Basically sellers are saying they want more money, and charging more and more. ITT: Greed.
I got killzone for 5.99, but many will try to sell you the same game used, and scratched for 59.99 or even 299$.
The first two Streets of Rage still get regular play in my house. And the music was just the icing on the cake. Desert Strike was also a favorite back in the day. Never had the add ons though I may have to check them out after watching. Adam's enthusiasm and passion shines through so hard sometimes I swear he's radioactive.
Belfast Gonzo
I just posted a comment and forgot all about Desert Strike, Jungle Strike etc absolutely loved those!!
Emulated it on my PSP recently and it was just great to play again! Genesis emulation is pretty much perfect on most systems. Must track down a proper copy...
I'm loving this series! I laughed so hard when you said "McDONALDS!" when talking about what drew you in as a kid - hahahaha
The SNES may be more powerful but the Genesis is my favorite 4th gen console because it was the first gaming console I have ever owned. My first one was also a model 2. Great video Adam keep up the great work.
Although I was born in very late 90s, Sega Genesis was indeed my very first video game console. Sadly it got stolen and then my parents gave me the Super Nintendo. My controller broke, and at that time there was no where a replacement to be found. So my father just dumped it altogether and bought me a brand new PS2. I skipped out the 5th Gen, and I have mixed feelings about this.
Always watching these fourth generation cause this was my childhood too Man! How pissed of I was when I came from
Manila with a Mega Drive and couldn't play genesis games in the U.S.
@AdamKoralik that cranberry analogy had me laughing for 5 minutes staright,your awesome man. love your videos.
+Geovanny Ayala Thanks for watching!
Seeing so much Sega hardware together makes me really euphoric, to the point of ecstasy.
Cool video, btw, I would love to know where you bought the shelves, they look perfect for Sega Genesis games.
Great video Adam! Some awesome stories about the Sega Genesis that I never knew about. I didn’t know MJ did the music in Sonic 3! That’s pretty cool.
I didn’t realize until a year ago that the Aladdin games were different on SNES and Genesis. I have the Game Boy Aladdin and it’s the same as the Sega Genesis version, just super slow.
You have some awesome games you highlighted about. You did forget Castlevania Bloodlines tho :-P
+mtshark7 Thanks!
I was born in 95 but knew about the Genesis from friends and older cousins. I didnt even know what an SNES was until around 8th grade, so I've always been a Genesis guy even being born after its time.
I love this video I always watch it like every 2 months.
Yes!Looking forward to this.
Speaking of Sega Genesis, remember the scene in Billy Madison where one of the students was mentioning Mortal Kombat on the Sega Genesis is game ever? And then Billy Madison said that Donkey Kong was the best game ever, (possibly talking about Donkey Kong Country) but unfortunately no mention of Tempest 2000 on the Atari Jaguar, WOW!
Hi Adam koralic I finally obtained a launch day sega Genesis model 1 off eBay it cost me $75.00 the sega Genesis has the hook ups and 2 original equipment manufactured controllers I picked up a few of my favorite games for it streets of rage 1 and 2 sonic the hedgehog 2 Michael Jackson moon walker and a sega Genesis gamegenie and a set of original equipment manufactured av cables your videos has helped me save a bunch of Nintendo entertainment systems super Nintendo entertainment systems Japanese Nintendo super famicoms also the sega Genesis model 1
The power converter is amazing. I got one for cheap back in the day!
Ahh the Sega MegaDrive... So much sweet memories when being a child from 1991 up to 1995.
Also mate, I think the Sega was supposed to be called "Genesis" in EU as well, but because of legal issues with a band from the same name (yes the one with Phil Collins), it was hard for them to release it in EU in each country as Genesis (remember EU has different countries instead of states), that's why they chose Mega Drive in EU.
Anyway.
What I think about Sega MD, is that it was basically the future of gaming, as SNES was not. Look at all the stuff SEGA MD introduced, which is still here today in consoles. I mean, Sega MD already could log into the "internet" called SegaChannel, as you said in the video, and you could even download games there. Like GoldenAxe 3 was a SegaChannel exclusive.
Funny thing is that I actually still love the MegaDrive model 1, it looks better than the US Snes that's for sure.
The 50 dollar discount was more than 100, remember games back then were around 100 dollars, so they basically gave you 150 dollar discount xD
Huge Sega Channel fan, loved it as a kid in the 90s.
Hated the Activator, i sold that at a garage sale years ago.
BillyTheBigDeal im glad I never got one it was just stupid looking
MMPR The Movie and TMNT Hyperstone Heist Comix Zone I remember playing as a toddler I had to be about 3 or 4 something not sure but obviously it resonated
Your Best Review! Gave me a lot of good memories when i was a child! xD
Earthworm Jim 1 and 2
All the Sonics
Street for Rage 2
And Aladin!
Sega for Life... Also All music on the Genesis were awesome! Specially Sonic 2, Street of Rage 2 and Earthworm Jim
gabriel montreuil Thanks for watching!
They also made more than one version of the model 1 mega drive. Some don't say High definition graphics, these are meant to have a cheaper, worse sounding sound chip
I grew up on Nintendo but always wanted a Sega since I went to my cousins and played it as a kid. Never got one as a kid til I grew up and became an adult...satisfying my childhood self never felt sooo good!!!!
Sega channel was through the cable tv I actually knew somebody who had that you would have to put a splitter in the line behind your cable box the second channel would hook up from the cartridge you got from the cable company to the network through coaxial cable. I'm not sure what other cable companies had it but we had TCI which eventually is no nowadays is Comcast.
I really love the Sega Mega Drive. It's one of my favorite game consoles. I own the model 1 (and the Sega Nomad) and I have games like all 3 main Sonic games (1, 2, 3 & Knuckles), NHL Hockey, NHL '95, Madden NFL '94, NFL Football '94 starring Joe Montana, After Burner II, Battletoads, Bare Knuckle trilogy, Columns, Vectorman, World Series Baseball (and World Series Baseball '95), X-Men, X-Men 2, Batman, Road Rash, Revenge of Shinobi, Strider, etc. I also have the model 2 (with Model 2 Sega CD), but I'm looking to get a Model 1 Sega CD because the Model 1 is my primary Genesis.
Loved the video Adam I like these retro video laurn alot from these
Aaron Lowe Thanks for watching!
I loved all those games as a kid. you should do lets plays, or do some retro game episodes on gamesocietypimps
SirGeeeO Problem is my cohorts hate "old games."
Mega drive/genesis was awesome, the game liberty and its controller were solid, graphics and music were good to. Games such as thunder force 3, road rush 2, contra hard corps, streets of rage 2, sonic 2, strider, gunstar heroes, phastasy star iv, shinning force, columns, shiobnobi 3, castlevania bloodlines, columns, castle of illision, golden axe, vectorman, ristar, aladdin, the list goes on. Thumbs for genesis!
One game that comes to mind since you mentioned Treasure is a game titled Light Crusader. Never played that game.
Im not completely sure but there was a guitar pickup in the 80s called the Dimarzio MegaDrive. This may have been the reason why Sega was not able to use the name MegaDrive.
as always great videos, learning so much with them!
Pako Thanks for watching!
My first console growing up!! My bro had the NES and then the SNES. Ecco the Dolphin, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Warsong were my favorites. I pretty much started with Sonic 3 and would borrow Sonic 2 from my lil sisters friend from time to time. Never really got into the first Sonic game as it wasn't that interesting to me. I did love the vs racing in Sonic 3 as I got to run as Knuckles before the Sonic and Knuckles cartridge was available. I don't know why people don't talk more about the competitive racing, I really enjoyed it.
yeah i'm kind of in a similar boat as you. the version 2 genesis with sonic 2 was my first console, and it kicked some ass. it sucks that my brother was holding onto the genesis stuff since i moved out of state, and he let a friend of a friend borrow all of it a few years ago, so it's probably all gone for good. oh well, at least i was smart enough to hold onto my game gear collection.
Great video Adam, very well done.
***** Thanks!
3:48 - 4:08 best description of the Sega's aggressive add campaign I've EVER seen
thelegomasteDevon Thanks.
thelegomasteDevon Sorry about that.
Dont apologize! It made my day dude! Who cares if they gave me funny looks. My generation (millennial's) sucks. A lot of shit heads so who cares. Just thanks for making my day! :)
thelegomasteDevon Well, happy to help.
There is even more revisions of Genesis in Brazil.
Model 2 is actually called model 3 here, and is the most famous model, with the more variations, even when Sega stopped the production of Genesis it was still manufactured here until 2009. Unfortunately, those later models came with built in games and the hardware was not the same, it was more of a clone system, there is even a model without cartridge slot that came with a damn guitar with a guitar hero type of game.
24:19 is true. Toy Story for Sega Genesis was amazing but hard as hell. I had that back then as a kid. Born in 1992. Haha. I had the model 1 back then but now i have the model 2.
I remember in 1991, when Mortal Komat I was released, my brothers went to buy a NES and I stayed home, being a 8 years old... And they came back and I was expecting a NES ( mainly because of Double Dragon II :P), and then they arrived with the Sega MegaDrive and I started whining hahahaha, then my brothers said, just hold on okay, they popped in Mortal Kombat I (and we also got Streets of Rage 1 and Sonic included), and my mind was blown. xD Then later I saw a video tape of Streets of Rage II and I litteraly exploded when my brother took that game home!!!!!
I miss Sega and the Mega Drive era. I also loved the Michael Jackson game, the music in particular and the secret to turn into a friggen Robot and shoot everyone.
The European version of Streets of Rage 3 is getting rarer all of the time and it goes for crazy prices.
Love this video! Instantly subscribed and hooked!
I remember buying my first twenty games I would ever need and got four different Genesis consoles w/ 6 button controllers for like five bucks at a yard sale.
Still play the first one I got and never needed my back ups!
So fuck yoooou MS & Sony!
The frustration with those new consoles are insane...the cost, the life span, all the dlc bullshit, offline playing, the fragile servers, the accounts, storage space, profile downfalls,and the 50/50 ratio of pulling in a controller for ten minutes.JFC, is it just me?
Ahhhhh it goes on forever!
Best five bucks I ever spent.
Time to go enjoy some Xmen-2 Clone Wars!
Out of interest, have you played a game called Chakan on genesis/mega drive? I loved that game! Still have it but I have to say, that the game really was Dark Souls of it's time with difficulty and the game really not explaining its potion mixing ( I don't own the manual, so I might have played the game on harder mode just because of that) Still having great memories of finding out what mixes do and leaving the console on over night, so I could continue in the morning. Sadly haven't finished the game even to day.
Today I got the deal of a freaking lifetime on eBay. I got a model 2 Genesis (my favorite) CIB - FOR $80! I also got a $10 SCART cable (a literal necessity since the system only came with an RF switch, which is incompatible with TV's here in Ireland) and a $10 boxed copy of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (with manual), then rounded it all off by sniping a boxed copy of Sonic the Hedgehog (but no manual) for - you guessed it - $10. All of which should arrive just in time for me to squander my free hours once I finish college.
I'm surprised you didn't mention anything about "Blast Processing" in regards to their ad compaigns against the SNES.
Great video, I like the way you present the history keep it up:)
Fady Ganname Thanks for watching!
I was always a big Sega fan. Played the hell out of the Genesis back in the day and now present time I have my Dreamcast set up on my old crt tv. Dreamcast may not have done well but it's a fucking bad ass system.
Riz2336 Do yourself a favor, get some VGA cables for the Dreamcast. Looks amazing on an HDTV.
Cranberry Marketing Guy does exist, can confirm. Source: My uncle works for Ocean Spray.
Seriously, though, great video. As much as I love Nintendo, I have insane respect and affection for Sega. They were so innovative, forward-thinking and just. Bold, I guess. It's such a shame how things turned out for them.
zg234 Thanks, and yeah...I miss them.
Great video Adam I wish you could've talked about sega actually calling Nintendo kiddie the frist company to do that. Which led the way for more sony and Microsoft using coolness on Nintendo.
You aren't the only one who was disappointed with Sonic 1. Though Sonic 2 wasn't my fav game for Gen. It was S3&K. Saving was a big part of that I think.
wowww i forgot about MN12Bird, i used to watch his videos ALL the time haha .. (Btw the part where u kept mentioning the 32x on everytbing was hilarious)
Aaron Villalobos He comments on my videos from time to time. He did so on the 32X video actually.
Some lesser knowns I personally loved that I feel deserves a mention: Toejam & Earl 1 and 2, Contra Hard Corps, Eternal Champions, El Viento, Ristar, Socket, Kid Chameleon, Castle/World of Illusion, Mickey Mania, Chester Cheetah 2, Cool Spot, Boogerman, Flashback, all Climax Entertainment games (Shining Force, Landstalker). Probably a ton more.
One game you absolutely should avoid: The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends.
***** So much truth.
Love playing these sega games on my original xbox 😅 Scooby doo mystery is 🔥
At 25:00 I think you fell for the longstanding myth that the SNES was capable of hardware sprite scaling. Mode 7 allows you to scale and rotate a background layer only... not sprites. Anything involving sprites had to be done in software, and the Genesis was just as capable at this (if not more so, due to its considerably faster CPU). So, yes, that F-Zero like part would have been near impossible to include in the Genesis version, but the swinging around of the bad guys? No reason why that wouldn’t have been possible.
Funny how you mentioned that Rocket Knight Adventure Font as similar to Back to the Future...
I always thought that Kid Chameleon cover was similar to Back to the Future... The Kid looked like Marty Mcfly dressed as the Terminator... lol
Btw Kid Chameleon was also a Great Obscure game... it was my second Game i have ever played on the Console after Sonic the Hedgehog!
gabriel montreuil Oh that is so true...
dude i tore UP the bonus mission mini-game when Sonic 1 was connected. couldn't find a way to emulate it and was like "...am I the only one who thought that 3D landscape of getting ball/bubbles was totally awesome?"
Another example of Nintendo not wanting to be too violent is the game Power Moves. On the Genesis it's called Deadly Moves.
Speaking of Power Rangers,there were 2 Power Rangers games of the same names that were also on the SNES. I suggest checking them out.
I really liked how Sega did Add-ons for there console to support the previous gen. If Sony made an Add-on for the PS4 that you could play older systems id buy it.
It would pretty much be a Portable drive one similar to the older PS3s that could read PS1,PS2 and PS3. It could connect USB and so you wouldn't have to worry about Data speed through the USB it would copy the game to the console but you would still need the disk to play it. If you didnt want to do that they could possibly make it so you could plug it into the PS4 power supply port and the PS4 and drive would share the power from 1 port.
Now a problem would be the emulation side. Since the PS3 and PS4 are so different, I think it would be easier to put the emulation abilities in the drive and it wouldn't even have to emulate the PS3.
Someone probably has a way easier solution to this (other than buying the specific console).
Genesis could totally do some mode 7 type stuff. It just had to emulate the code in software. But it was still possible the 68k had the bandwidth
December 1986? You and I have a lot in common XD :P Subbed!
WarriorKiyo Welcome aboard!
Some see the Saturn's period and the failure of the Dreamcast as Sega's 'fall from grace', that up until the Saturn, Sega was a well run, well managed company. However my theory is that Sega was and is usually a very poorly run company. It's failure with the Saturn (which really killed Sega) wasn't the exception to the rule- it was the rule. Before the Genesis Sega had 2% market share, after it had 8 or 18%, I can't remember. Any of Sega's success can be attributed to 2 individuals and their teams. These people are Tom Kalinske and Peter Moore. Tom Kalinske and his team are more or less was singly attributable to all of Sega's success outside of Japan with the Genesis. He did so much for Sega and the Genesis it's too much to mention. I would highly recommend 'Console Wars' by Blake Harris if you're interested. Suffice to say, as far as managing a company went, this guy was like Midas- everything he touched turned to gold. Secondly, with Peter Moore although it was already too late for Sega, under him the Dreamcast was made as successful as it could ever have been by that point. Just imagine if Bernie continued to run Sega? In conclusion, in order to understand Sega you must understand that it's success and not its failure was the anomaly. That any of its success can be attributed to a few individuals who managed to make it so, and how we all like remember.
Another great episode.
ilcool90 Thanks!
I know this is an old vid but I just came across it and noticed theres a error there's a common misconception a lot of people have, and thats the name.
The reason for it being call Genesis in the states was nothing to do with trademake but purely a marketing thing. 1988 is when Sega US started burning bridges with Sega Jap (this came to a head by the time saturn hit and everyone knows.
Anyways, Sega America felt that the name "Mega Drive" wasn't catch and didn't make it sound like a "Step up" so Genesis was the end result, its purely cos the name back then made it sound like it was a step up from the Master System and NES.
This information is actually from a interview with the then Head of Sega America in 2001, It was published in Gamesmaster mag in the UK
Yeah I've heard it was called the Genesis in the US because there was a golfing accessory called the "Mega Drive" :-)
Really want to play Pier Solar.
Feel like I'm missing out.
Rocket Knight Adventures : I totally agree - it's the one I'm trying to beat now, discovered 3 days ago (^^,)
Here in Australia I rarely ever see the NES while pretty much every Sega console isn't too hard to find but strangely enough the SNES seems to be rather common. Just not many of its games.
I realy happy to see you as a true old fan of game ... you know what's the funny thing ? at this time we play game like at most 3 time on it's whole life time , i mean most of games .
but back to sega i remember hundreds of time i played and end bare nuckle 1 2 3 . sonic , robocop sunset river .
even there was not damn save and we should play it from the level 1 :)))) . young gamers now even can imagine if machine is like that how the wanna play every time from the begining .
I have sparkster. Awesome 👍
I'm looking to get a system to play Master System and Mega Drive (I'm from Europe) games. Is the best way to go to get a version 1 Mega Drive with the Master System Converter (or will one of the simpler cheaper converters do?). And slap an RBG cable in it with a scart to HDMI converter?
Crazy thing is that McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure was made by the same people that made Gunstar Heroes.
"The more you play with it, the harder it gets"
Luckily picked up both Comix Zone complete (With the CD!) and Streets of Rage 1 complete yesterday for $30. Worth it in my opinion, I've been dying to get my hands on Comix Zone; Super cool game design and gameplay. But yeah, like you said, the prices are definitely going up, it sucks :/
SNBfilms At least you got them before they get worse.
back then I was on "team nintendo", I used to hate sega, sonic and all they represented, but for the last 10 years more or less I like sega. there are very cool games on the megadrive, some great exclusives and some good ports, for some weird reason the street fighter 2 port just "feels" better than on the snes. the same goes for mortal kombat 3, it just plays better.
I want a complete in box CDX so badly. I personally have the model 2 combo, both complete in boxes, and would be willing to trade them, but damn the CDX has gotten soooo expensive. I like the Model 2 Combos, but they're just too big in width, maybe I'll eventually get a model 1 Combo to trade to conserve space in terms of width.
TnVGaming Yeah, that would have been nice. I settled for a couple loose ones.
AdamKoralik The only loose systrem I have is my PSone, and I'm trying to find a box, because I like the packaging for my systems. I found a CDX CIB last year for $200, and I passed on it & I've been kicking myself for it ever since, because now that same system has gone for $500+ on ebay now.
THE BEATLES !!! :D WOW THAT IMPRESED ME ALMOST NOBODY I KNOW CARES ABOUT BEATLES
