I hated her for that, i wasn't ready...

My son is only nine years old, but he loves beat’em ups. This would have been a classic had it come out back in the day.

Starcrest Saga on Steam

Half of them even have the manual! Got it all for around $80 which is a very good deal my country. Here basically everything "retro" is usually marked up to insanity in shops and online. Even the most common games. Honestly I'm very surprised they weren't $25 or more each.

Back in the 16-bit era, this wasn’t just another licensed game…

It was one of the greatest platformers ever made.

From the moment Mickey stepped into the enchanted castle to rescue Minnie from the evil witch Mizrabel, you knew you were playing something special.

The stunning visuals, magical soundtrack, hidden secrets and unforgettable levels—from the toy room to the candy world—showed exactly what the Mega Drive was capable of.

For many of us, this was the game that proved Disney and SEGA were the perfect team.

Be honest… where did you play it?
🎮 SEGA Mega Drive
🎮 SEGA Genesis

And did anyone else spend far too long bouncing on those giant sweets? 🍬😂

Its shockingly light with controllers that have terrible d pad and buttons, comes with a different cable and a nes zapper knockoff?

So I'm new to the subreddit, and here's both my Mega Drives, A 1989 VA1 Model 1 which i recently acquired and a "Model 2" which is actually a clone that's posing as a PAL asia console, and was my uncles original Mega Drive 2 from the 90s. Up until recently where the cheap caps finally drifted that the PSG sounds went missing and the fake controllers died (replaced with a real SJ-6000), me and my uncle thought this was actually a real Model 2 until i opened it up and told him it wasn't, well frankly it's quite convincing. There's absolutely no signs of the outer shell being fake since all the text is well printed and actually quite resilient. He told me it came in the official "colorful" box unlike most old clones. I only found out when i opened it up to see no Sega branded things inside at all, but was so confused because it had a real MC68000, Z80 (though Sharp not Zilog), and NEC chips. Also noticed the lack of rubber feet on the bottom, however even though it poses as a pal console, it is actually NTSC inside, being closer to an actual HAA-2502, but the real kicker was it's not even relatively close to a model 2 at all, inside, the cloners actually used the model 1 architecture and i found this out when the power brick showed the pal asia brick specs, but the brick itself had a mold it was negative center like the model 1, and after recapping to get PSG back I compared the sound by recording both the consoles directly. I could not for the life of me tell the difference. Gameplay wise it's also exactly the same. I wonder if this clone can actually handle a real sega cd or 32x, now i need to get my hands on one!

I finally got to add Streets Of Rage 3 to my collection yesterday and finish it.

I've never played the third one so I'm really looking forward to playing it.

What's everyone's favourite Streets Of Rage?

I love all of them individually (the ones I've played) but it's definitely a tough one between 4 and 2.

I fell down a rabbit hole when I saw this offer for a Mega Drive that looked suspiciously like a Nintendo 64. I was like "There's no way this is real" yet I'm seeing packaging with the official Sega logo and even included a Sega sticker on the bottom of the console. Then I came across another Mega Drive from the same country (Ukraine) that's shaped like a later model PS1, and I'm like "That's gotta be a fake" and the cartridges shown with it looked very bootleg as well.. but once again, the box has the official Sega information and all that. So IDK what's going on here. My best guess is these are just bootlegs and that whoever made them just decided to steal the Sega logo and IG they got away with it

While I was playing the game on Kega Fusion, I activated the super form on Chemical Plant Act 1. And when I've reached the end, jumped, and pressed left at the end, this happened. It played the animation of Super Sonic being activated, then stuck for a split second, aaaand nothing more. The game has basically been softlocked for no apparent reason. I think this has something to do with the wrong trigger activation or any other bug in the code.
