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!!!

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.

The #MegaCD Appreciation Society returns with episode 7 - Lethal Enforcers. Come and see what we have been shooting and some light gun related tomfoolery!

Oh man, this intro anime from Saturn Bomberman!!

This gives me proper joy thinking of the hundreds of hours of multiplayer we’ve got from this beauty!!

Enjoy!!

Man, I only really clocked putting them next to each other how glossy and high quality the mk1 pal looks next to the mk2! My mk2 was my original so I love it to bits - but the OG pa Saturn is a classy beast!!

If you see this, post a picture of a Master System game.

Which is your favourite?!

Ridge Racer fans! This is your test!

I’ve made no secret of not loving this game’s soundtrack - so here’s what is, probably, the best tune. Let’s see how it goes down with the good people of social media!!
