Does anyone have experience with the Sega Master System version? How does that compare with other versions? The Master System one was my introduction to these games. I hired it as a kid and found it to be quite cool. I bought it a couple of years back and its still fun but you can beat it in about ...

The guy who sold me Ecco Jr. from a few pages back also gave me an R-Type Master System cart for free because he couldn't get it to work. I said I'll take it and that I pride myself on being able to get carts working. He scoffed and said 'so do I'. I had to remove the board from its shell but its cu...

Yeah separation anxiety is another example (dime a dozen on the genesis, demented for the MD). It is a bit silly. I can readily admit that the bananas pricing is the only reason I actually wanted this game. Though I'm gonna give it a good play now I've lashed out (or hermetically seal it and nab a $...

I haven't been around here much and got bored with my collection thread but my Mega Drive acquisitions cannot be tamed it seems. I'm going to revamp the collection thread some time as I've decided to focus on the quality of my PAL MD collection as well as quantity. I'm going to go for those tricky, ...

I love Mega Drive shmups but the only one I've actually beaten is TF3. 'Whip Rush' is definately worth a shot too. Good difficulty curve and very compelling, it isn't going to blow any minds but is a fun and solid example of the genre.

+1 aaron - posted me a Genesis 3 and all was well.

ooh congratulations on the Nomad. Sadly the chances of finding one of those in Australia in the wild are lower than low. These never got a run here and It was only a few years ago that I even found out that Sega made a handheld after the Game Gear. Contra Hard Corps on the train on original hardware...

That Pingu controller is so so rad.

I've been continuing the Master System kick that I'm on. I just got these beauties in from the UK for about $30 shipped. Manuals included. http://i1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd400/bmoc81/IMG_0566_zps6a66e214.jpg I've got Sonic Chaos and Master of Darkness on the way too though I didn't do as well ...

Damn I hate GameTraders, can't wait until they are out of business. Yeah they are truly awful. The first time I went in there it actually wasn't that bad, sure, I did buy that $14.95 Toejam & Earl you see above, but i also snagged Rocket Knight Adventures complete for $5.00. All my other dealin...
