I bought the following for SMD:

Ranger X
Stargate

And the following for 32x:

Star Wars Arcade
Doom 32x
Virtua Racing Deluxe
Metal Head
Cosmic Carnage

I wish I could capture successfully from the Mega Drive but the picture comes out all wrong on my laptop or I'd be spamming my youtube channel with tonnes of awesome 16/32bit vids!! :(

Sega Chat / Re: What Was The Best Sega Console?
March 14, 2012, 12:52:05 PM
my fairly obviously answer was the DC, I truly love and adore the MD and Saturn still even today but the Dreamcast was the first console I bought on release and I poured my heart and soul into my collection and the DC absolutely never disappointed. I'd have to say that, as far as consoles go, its always going to represent the absolute pinnacle of what a console should be, one word; fun

Sega Chat / Re: Sega Master System Must Have Games!
March 14, 2012, 12:50:02 PM
hey guys, a few of my fondest Master System games are: (in no particular order)

Zillion 2 the Triformation
Wonderboy 3 the dragons trap
Alex the Kidd in Miracle World
Rampage
Sonic 2
Cool Spot
Strider
Phantasy Star
Master Of Darkness

The Master System is still one of my favourite systems as I had lots of fond memories, I recently bought a master system to mega drive converter so I can play the master system games via my MD which I have an RCA/Scart cable for and can therefore avoid the agony of having to tune it in all the time!!

General Retro Chat / Any Acorn Archimedes love?
March 14, 2012, 12:42:10 PM
hey guys, I think I may have been too young to truly appreciate the 8bit personal computer love, I had a spectrum etc and my dad had a crazy commodore that he was nuts on but when I was at secondary school we had these awesome Acorn computers, pre windows, they remind me of the Apricot pc my dad bought home one time in the early 90s.

Fondest memories of the Acorns are playing Chaos, Moonquake and lemmings in the corner while the teacher wandered round eyeing up all the fit 15 year old girls in my class lol

I'm pretty sure the Apricot at home ran windows 3.1 but can anyone explain what the Acorns ran? was it a custom operating system? Or archimedes? I know nothing about these old systems as I was too young and far too busy playing games on them !!

anyway lets share the archimedes love!!

Homebrew Chat / Re: Doom On The Spectrum
March 14, 2012, 12:38:04 PM
lol, holy crap how did that happen? I'm probably stating the obvious here but I'm guessing it was coded by someone well after Doom came out right? I mean I'm pretty sure this wasn't going to ACTUALLY have a retail release on the Spectrum... right? seriously... right? lol

looks awesome mate, I almost miss my spectrum, pretty sure it wasn't a 128k though, and it always used to die on me when I finished the first level of Ghost Busters 2!!!  >:(

Introductions / Hey gang, just joined
March 14, 2012, 12:29:23 PM
Hey everyone, Laird invited me to join the site so I thought what the hey, it all looks pretty awesome soo far!

Most of you probably don't know me but I've been big into games for about 20 years, being virtually 30 (give or take 8 weeks lol) I've seen all sorts of things come and go. So here's a little about me!

Real names Antony or Tony for short, I'm from the UK and live in Watford, I've owned or played on a console since I was about 7. I'm a massive Sega nut and believe that the Dreamcast is the pinnacle of console perfection!!

I own roughly 600 games across the following platforms:

Atari Lynx
Atari Jaguar
Sega Master System
Sega Game Gear
Sega Mega Drive
Sega Mega CD
Sega 32x
Sega Saturn
Sega Dreamcast
Sony Playstation
Sony Playstation 2
Nintendo Gamecube
Nintendo Wii
Microsoft Xbox
Microsoft Xbox 360
Windows PC

I used to have an old Atari console, think it was a 2600 but this was when I was like 5 and my dad brought it home from a charity shop one day, moved up to spectrum of my very own, god I miss those wonderful tape games! My dad and brother had Commodores, and then from there we moved up to Sega consoles

Anyway just wanted to pop my head in the door, say hi and hopefully I will see you all around in the coming months :)
