It must have been GreyFox's sig, I don't have one on RG.

Yes, it could well have been. I recognise both names. Never-the-less....

From one newbie to another, welcome to the forum!  The Mega Drive does have a very dedicated fan base, so I'm sure you'll find yourself at home here.  I suppose I could act the part of the Nintendo devotee if you ever want to have a spirited discussion. :113: I'll look forward to it. Although, having read a few threads, it looks like I've a lot to learn about the MD myself.  Its actually quite interesting coming across all these new bits of info.

Just read this thread from the start. Great stuff! That tech demo is cool and the clip of Peter Griffin playing Moonwalker, lol. Also the Atari Tomahawk, WTF! I'm loving the insane Mega Drive knowledge.

One thing that does concern me however is the recommendation to buy some of the more obscure and rare games. They command some hefty prices and appear a little elitist. Are they actually any good or is it purely because they're rare? Basically, is it more style over substance (willy waving 'look what I've got' ammunition)?

In other words, they're out of my price range and I'm jealous 

I'm glad you don't need them in order as thats likely to change every time this question is asked!
Hopefully all will become clear of your secret project soon. Good luck with it whatever it is.

Mega Drive:

Revenge of Shinobi
Speedball 2
Hellfire
Shadow Dancer
Sonic 1
Eswat
Castle of Illusion
Truxton
Streets of Rage II
Street Fighter II CE

Cheers!

Yeah, I don't frequent many forums, mainly just browse and lurk a few sites. Spotted a link to RVG in someones signature (may have been The Laird actually?...) so I had a quick look and thought it looked pretty sweet. Doesn't look like there are many people lording it up on their soap boxes! I can't be doing with that, it puts me off.

Hi,

Just joined. Thought it would be polite to post a quick message here...

I'm into old consoles, anything pre PS1 really. The 16 bit wars being a particular highlight (staunch Mega Drive, for the record).
Machine progression for me has been Speccy, Master System, Mega Drive, Jaguar, PS1, Dreamcast, XBOX, XBOX 360.
Own loads of others that I'm pretty fond of including PCE, Amiga 500, Saturn, SNES.

I'm not a huge Nintendo fan and I will preach the awesomeness of the Mega Drive if provoked :-) (don't worry, I'm not a hardcore Sega fanboy gaylord but I do enjoy the associated banter)

Collection wise, theres nothing major. I am currently aiming for a complete PAL 1988 - 1990 Mega Drive release collection. Nice and simple.

Anyway, I've tried to keep this brief but feel free to comment and I'll hopefully speak to most of you in good time.

Take it easy
