I didn’t realise how much I’d love the Mega Drive Mini

Got it on a whim but it’s so gorgeous it’s getting pride of place on the desk!!

Oh thank god.

Now I am saved from ever having to play Donkey Kong Country 1&2

Wow, this Segagaga project!

Think what you like about AI usage but read this @TheDCJunkyard article about the skill and genius that went in to making it happen

I absolutely love that this community exists!

Ps also this ace pic is from @SaturnSerkel

Are YOU a Mega Drive owner worried you’ll be FORCED to play SNES?!

Do YOUR parents force you to like Mario?!

Does you KID BROTHER make you suffer an INFERIOR Street Fighter 2?!

Well, worry no more!!

Now you can lock away those pesky SNES consoles and live in peace!!

Road Rash 2 absolutely NAILED what we were looking for as gamers in the early 90s!

It had racing, it had fighting, it was funny, it was inventive!

In fact, it was EA doing a lot of stuff we loved SEGA for!

Revisit this classic in our last vid!

This is just absolute craziness!! But very cool too! (This is me pretending not to be jealous 😂😂)

I might need to go and have a cry 😂 (what happened - did you sell up?)

Man alive, I wish I could go back and grab classic Mega Drive games before the prices went nuts!

I don’t want em all - just the core would do! But some are just beyond all reach…

Anyone wanna make me jealous and say they’ve got an original Contra / Probotector?!

Mr Rogers plays his new vinyl of the Earthion soundtrack!!

Dear Bluesky - here is some Friday joy just for you!!

Because nothing fills the heart with gladness more than Green Hill Zone!

Happy Friday!!

For good or ill, no machine sounds like SNES!

Big Blue is the perfect tune to show it off with that manic melody full of wailing samples!!

It’s the S-SMP at its best!!

When people rediscover the classics!

That thin line between joy at a clean run and pad hurling exasperation!!

SNES did have some bangers y’know!

I do generally prefer Mega Drive’s bassy funk synth to SNES’ parpy sampler but…

In the right hands, Nintendo’s machine could still produce gems like this - from F-Zero’s Mute City!

And as if a new JP Sonic, and a new chonky Game Boy, wasn’t enough…

I couldn’t resist getting another one of the Game Gear Micros… (also with Sonic on! It’s probably the only game I could play on that tiny screen!)

It’s been quite the week!!

After Sonic arrived from Japan yesterday, this little beauty arrived from @retromartin.bsky.social today!!

Martin picked it up for me and even wangled Star Wars as a freebie! What a wheeler dealer!!

Thanks dude! So, in your honour…

There’s never been a title screen better than Burning Force!

The music’s a bit tasty too!!

I always thought it was a bit faster but that might have been a myth I picked up as a kid! It was faster than my mate’s pal master system version though! But otherwise I think it’s the same…

Fantastic news! Did you get this one from Japan as well?

Yeah just this week! I’ve been looking for a longtime for one in good condition in this country but eventually found this on a Japanese auction site. It’s like new it’s amazing!!

Contra Hard Corps’ second level (well, one of em!) is off its head!

Blokes carrying missiles, giant beetles and unbelievable action!

And of course, this belter of a tune!! Enjoy!

This one is special!

About 34 years ago, I imported this very game - the gorgeous JP version of Game Gear Sonic!

My first ever import and… the game that truly started my love for SEGA

Sadly, just weeks later, someone stole it!

It’s been a hole in my heart… until today!

Hell YEAH!! This is what you call a real blood pumper!!

Stage 1 of Contra Hard Corps and the music already BANGS!!

I really can’t remember if my friends’ copies were in this same box - I’m gonna have to ask em! I seem to remember it as cardboard as well (maybe a re-release happened?) but it might be memory playing tricks!!

The wife’s gone out for the day, and that’s sad cos I’ll really miss her…

But on the other hand…

IT’S SATURNDAY BABY!!!

YouTube video by Martin Whitehouse Mega CD Pickups video

Been a while since I've done a mini pickups video but with 15 #MegaCD games through the door, a picture just wouldn't have been as fun. Here a small 5 minutes pickup video where I show off every single one.
