Mega Drive

[benfan]

discuss the awesomeness of this console. it had so many cool games like the original sonic series, demolition man, atomic runner and many more.
Does anyone no what the difference between the mega drive and mega drive 2 where because i dont think it was much different

[Liberi Fatali]

For all those Americans out there, he is referring to the Sega Genesis.


It was my first console, I used to love playing classics like Sonic, Sonic 2, Brian Lara Cricket, Aladdin, Mortal Kombat 3 (that game owned), Road Rash 1, 2 and 3 and what was at the time my first RPG, The Story of Thor.

Road Rash ruled, and aladin, i wish i still had it, it was given away to a childrens hospital.......
i think it was my first console too, or was the spectrum before that?

/Still has his mega drive.

/Still plays is from time to time.

/is uber cool.

[benfan]

when was it realeased?

[Happy]

I was a baby when i got my megadrive and it turned me into a game freak. Is it just my retarded megadrive or did they tend to run out of power and then you'd have to leave them off to recharge even though they were plugged in?

[benfan]

i seem to recall something like that happening to me

[Untitled]

I got it when i was about 6, i think. It was released around 1994, im not sure.

I can still remember the level skip cheat for Alladin. I really don't have a life.

[benfan]

lol, does anyone remember atomic runner? it was an awesome side scrolling shooter

[Ramsey]

Sega Gensis was my first real console for me that my father got. I soon got the Sega Cd, which I in fact liked. :)

[benfan]

sega cd?

[Untitled]

I presume Sega Cd is a dreamcast :confused:

Why the hell do they give things different names in different countrys :mad:

[Ramsey]

Sega cd is not a dreamcast noobs. :p


Sega Cd was an attatchable console to the Mega Drive/Sega Gensis


In Britain it is called the Mega Cd

The Origional Sonic the Hedgehog series > You.

Such an awesome game, such an awesome console!

[Untitled]

Ohhh, i remember them now, :thumb: they where cool, i never had one, but someone i knew did, i played on that from time to time.

/Is a n00b apparently :upset:

[Bartender]

I got a Megadrive for Christmas one year when I was young. It was awesome, and probably the reason why I like games so much nowadays.

[Ozy]

Sonic and Knuckles was ****ing awesome

[blockhead]

I still play Sega Genesis all the time, more than any other system. Just this weeked I beat Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Battletoads was a cool game, but I could never beat it. There was also this really difficult Alien 3 game that I could never get past around the third level in.

[benfan]

i had alien 3!!!!!! it was an awesome game, scared the sh!t out of me

[Esp Griffyn]

I had one when I was very young.

I had some kickass games, like Flink, toejam and earl; panic on Funkatron, Sonic, Sonic pinball, Golden Axe etc.

flink was the best game.

It was hard wasn't it? How far did you get?

[King_Karl]

Oh god mega drives rule. Streets of rage all the way.

[Vietnow]

WWF Royal Rumble
Michael Jacksons Moonwalker
Road Rash 3
General Chaos
Beavis and Butthead (Have to find tickets to go to a Gwar Concert! How cool is that)
Sonic 3D
MK3
Ren and Stimpy
Comix Zone

All Amazing games.

[blockhead]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist was cool. Does anyone else remember Maximum Carnage?

[TheBlackAcidChildren]

Sonic 3/Knuckles was the best game ever, with Streets Of Rage/2 coming a close second. Golden axe/2 also kicked.

[Bartender]

I never actually played Golden Axe (any of them) on a megadrive, just on an emulator. Loads of fun, though.

[TheBlackAcidChildren]

I sold my megadrive at a jumble sale a couple of years back and I'm really regretting it now.... I still have most of the games for some reason! The last emulator I downloaded gave me a virus so I'm kinda in two minds about it... I'll probably get the craving for some good old sonic 3 fairly soon though.

[benfan]

It was hard wasn't it? How far did you get?

i dont think i got much further than you, around the 2-3rd level

[benfan]

does anyone remember the altered beast game (i think that is what its called) where you turn into a werewolf

[Happy]

Is Goldenaxe the one where you can either fight as a warrior, a woman or a viking type thingy?

[theramed toothpaste]

oh god Predator 2 was sooo awesome that was the first game i completed im gunna try and get that again soon

[benfan]

Is Goldenaxe the one where you can either fight as a warrior, a woman or a viking type thingy?

yeh i think that was the one........i think each charecter had unique powers and stuff

[Happy]

I used to play that all the time along with Sonic(all 3), Streets of rage, Shinobi(i think that was it, the one with the ninja) and Home alone.

[Interstate]

I loved my Megadrive - wish I hadn't sold it now :upset:

Favourite games were: Golden Axe (one of my favourite games ever), Road Rash, Streets Of Rage series, Aladdin.

I'm thinking of buying one again, I can pick one up for about £20 so I may do it if I ever have some spare cash.
