Title: Mega Drive II
Post by: [han] on 22 October 2011, 22:33: so i've recently acquired a Sega Mega drive II and Sonic2,

i was never allowed a mega drive as a kid, used to borrow my friends atari/mega drive when she went on holiday but that was it.

Has anyone got any suggestions on what other games to buy and where from? Is Ebay overpriced/average/underpriced?

i'm not great at sonic, but can't seem to get past the same point on level2 one player and its getting tedious! (i'm much better on 2player)

Post by: The Mighty Elvi on 22 October 2011, 22:47: Sonic is awesome. :nerd:

But, if I was going to buy a retro console. The only choice is:

N64

With:

1. Mario Kart 64
2. Goldeneye.

Without doubt the best nulti player games I have ever played.

Post by: Dolly on 22 October 2011, 22:48: Class, road rash was fun.

i had a fair few games, one that i remember was called, "super skid marks" was epic cows on wheels.

i know use emulators on my laptop and my phone so i get to play all the classics.

search Gensis/Gensoid/megadrive emulator on something like isohunt and then search the net for the "roms" (games)

On android you can get gensoid (megadrive) and gameboid (gameboy) for free and then download the roms.

I have gameboy,megadrive,PS1 and N64 on my laptop which means.... N64 goldeneye!

Post by: DubFan on 23 October 2011, 12:10: Car boot sales are the best for old games, get them for pennies.
Ebay can be ok, but you might find prices inflated.

There are some great MegaDrive and SNES emulators about for PC and the games (ROMS) are pretty small to download. I used to have some along with a great NeoGeo emulator.
