Nope, it's in the gap between its lifespan ending but before it becomes
a retro, nostalgic commodity. Hence, alot of the good stuff is still cheap.

I believe it is considered a "neo-classical" machine since it's previous-gen. I've heard that somewhere and it's better than calling it retro lol.

This isn't the best deal every, but considering everything is complete and in great condition I think it's pretty rad. A guy at work sold me...

Contra Hard Corps (usually goes for around $40 on eBay)
Sonic 3
Vectorman 2
Quackshot

...for $30.

Thanks, guys. I was a little bummed, though, that Vectorman 2 and Contra come in those flimsy box cases rather than the nice solid clamshell ones used for most titles.

Yeah, Quackshot is excellent--already on my greatest Mega Drive games list.
