Retro Gamer forum

Yes, enjoying WWDITS, I liked the film, but it definitely works better in 25 minute bursts.

It's an evergreen title.

If you're at a gaming event & there's a spare megadrive sitting about , it's always a fun playthrough with a beer & a mate.

Mine just arrived today. Looking forward to cracking into that Skool Daze article.

Although I would've loved to have seen a Skool Daze cover, I guess Burnout is more commercial & I really like the artwork on the subscriber version.

The letters page is good this month too.

Thunderforce 3, Toejam and Earl, Castle of Illusion, Sonic 2 & Streets of Rage 2.

5 of my favourite MD games there...this thing is actually starting to become quite tempting!!

Wow Dudley! Hello there. I am amazed the Master System had much of a life after the Megadrive was released. The machine & games wern't that much cheaper & the MD had that MS converter for anyone looking to upgrade. A definite underdog, it's amazing to see how far they pushed the commercial life & wh...

Wow thanks for all the replies guys, gonna try and pick up a few of those at Gamestation tommorow.

Haha, I love how my thread has dated. I miss those days!

Building up quite a collection now, it's amazing how cheap you can pick up a lot of the carts for on Ebay.

Rekindling my love of the Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance games. I've recently picked them up on the XBox & I'm starting them again from scratch.

I'd forgotten how much fun they are, really enjoying playing through the 1st one again.

The more I read about this SG "Hipster Megadrive" thing the better it sounds. If I had loads of spare cash & a pile of MD games I'd be ordering one for sure.

70 quid for the UK version then, a bit rich for my blood. Good to see Toejam and Earl on there.

When push comes to shove, I would have to admit that the Sega Megadrive is my favourite games console of all time. This looks like a cute little device, but the plug & play Megadrive thing has been so diluted over the years by Blaze/AtGames that it's hard to summon up much enthusiasm for yet another...

Oh almost worth picking up at that price. Is hacking it to play backups (no really) fairly idiot proof or do I have to jump through hoops aplenty on websites more virus laden than that germ farm monkey from Outbreak to unlock it's potential?

I've been snapping up cheap carts where I can find them. 2 games that are WAY more fun than they have any right to be are Teddy Boy & The Ninja. 2 perfect examples of why I love retro gaming, cheap as hell, no fancy gimmicks, just pure arcade fun.

Nope, my laptop is about 15 years old & is only ever used for word docs for work & swaping files between my portable harddrive & android devices.

Absolutely delighted to see this released, even if it isn't on any platform I own!

To compliment the games I got with it, I picked up a few more in that shop in Manchester that's closing down, managed to get Speedball 1 & 2 & have change of a fiver! Man there's a LOT of flickery platform games on this thing! Most of the best games I've got seem to be valiant attempts to replicate ...
