I hope nobody buys this piece of shit. What the fuck is the point of owning a Genesis if you can't play Gunstar Heroes (OR any Phantasy Star game OR either Shining Force game OR any Streets Of Rage game) on it?

Big-Byte · 29 May 2004, 08:47

£30 for only 6 games!!! Thats a lot of money when you can still easily get Megadrives with 1-15 games for a tenner at the boot fairs.

ant512 · 29 May 2004, 14:16

I would consider getting one, had I not recently bought a Mega Drive from a car boot, and spent a while building up a collection of 40-odd games, including the ones on this unit. Ah, well.

That is one of those far east bootleg megadrives, notice lack of the sega logo?

Sega is alive and have always been. But they dont make console anymore, only games and arcadeboards.

And remeber its not the first graverobber in this industry

Amiga1992 · 31 May 2004, 00:40

Oh great, another stupid fucking "plug and play" gizmo with games bolted on. How many are out there already, like, 10?

sheesh. At least this one has a mini console thingy which looks cute! Migt be worth for Sonic teh Hedgehog alone though. Imagine if this is pure hardware "emulation" of sorts, would be nice to hack this to accept any megadrive ROM or something. It's the only usefulness I could find for these gizmos.

Djay · 02 June 2004, 01:43

would anyone buy a re-designed multi-mega? ... I WOULD

now i have a 30" tv in my bedroom, i've been playing my megadrive... so if you see a mega-cd going cheap leave a post!!!!

these 10 in 1 console remakes are expensive novelty toys, i bought the Atari joystick one, which i actually sat down and played twice, it cost me £30.00 which i could of spent on ebay to get the actual console and a small collection of games!

as Akira might say Nothing beats the real thing

Dr. Dude · 02 June 2004, 13:26

Ah another Mega fan, my mega drive has gone to its creator about 3 weeks ago

Now i am running them all in emulation, but i am playing them whit a orginal mega drive pad.

killergorilla · 02 June 2004, 13:50

Yeah, I'd definitely buy a multi-mega in a nice smaller case, it'd rock! I do have one already but I don't play it. I do however have my megadrive 2/megaCD 2 setup in my room which gets used damn loads. Ooh it's sweeeeeet. Now... just need to get to some bootsales and grab some more games!

I'd probably buy that little plug and play thing too,mainly cos I'd want to see what it's like, don't care if it's only a few games.

Amiga1992 · 02 June 2004, 13:51

I would love a MultiMega (CDX for yanks), or a MegaJet

Djay · 02 June 2004, 23:39

i did have a multi-mega.... i bought it for 40 quid, it came with 5 cd games and about 10 cart games... 2 six button official pads it was at a time when the psx sold for about 199.99... a guy came into my shop with it, i pretended i didn't really want it (!) so he said you can have the lot for £50, i said to him i couldn't sell it on cos everythings gone PSX... he agreed to sell it for £40...

nice

hmmm.. like a stupid twat i sold it for £100.00 (just the console, 1 pad) three weeks later (well i did run a video game shop)

Djay · 02 June 2004, 23:42

i bought one of these today (ebay)... i did have 2 of these back in the day, its got such a quality feel to it... very thin and it has a metal feel to it..

it is...

the joypad of champions

as i used to call it!

Djay · 02 June 2004, 23:43

oh yeah and this...

I got both Sir

Very happy to have them too

Jeez - why buy hardware? I thought emu-s were the way to go anyway. If you want a megadrive on your IBM go get a copy of Gens.

Anyone remember playing Herzog Zwei? Mad Japanese game a bit like Command & Conquer except you got to play a transforming robot - airplane and take part in the action. Utterly fantastic.

yeah, the official sega pad is cool... but this pad feels soooo much better... trust me it doesn't feel like its made of plastic, has turbo fire mode, slow mo (albeit rapid start button auto

)...

...honesty its great.. i'll up some better pic when i get it
