Tonights completion - Heavy Nova for the #MegaCD This has TODAY been converted to work on PAL & NTSCU consoles so I'm the first person to finish it in 50hz on a stock machine (wow...what an achievement...😂) A launch title for the machine, it's...badly made but some GREAT ideas & music.

YouTube video by Martin Whitehouse 40th Anniversary Sega MK 3/Master System homage

It's a 40th birthday today, no not for me, that's already happened. Today marks 40 years since the SEGA MK 3 released in Japan which was retooled into the #MasterSystem in the West so here's a fun little vid of games I grew up with or discovered later!

Happy anniversary to Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on #MasterSystem and to celebrate i play through as far as I can on 1 life! Will it be short? Will I die on the first boss? You'll have to find out!

Oof, that's not so good. Glad they acknowledged her again though with it being included on Saturn and she is a scorecard girl in the Switch SEGA AGES openings!

Ninja Princess is a phenomenal game and Princess Kurumi is one of the earliest female playable protagonists in games. I had the pleasure of completing it via the Sega Ages Memorial Collection (one of the two) on Saturn as well. It's reskin as The Ninja is cracking too!

Congratulations, I think I started reading it back in 2009/2010 as I didn't really view mag shelves much at the time and saw the issue that had multiple Megadrive characters on the front and as I'm a big SEGA head I had to grab it and I've been picking it up since so you've always been editor for me

YouTube video by Martin Whitehouse Nightvein - New MegaDrive Homebrew demo

New #MegaDrive homebrew game Nightvein has got a demo. Come see what I think of it in this short review, remembering that as a demo, it is not a finished product. The game shows much promise.

Couldn't care any less about the US OST existing. It's decent, but never remotely hits the same level of awesome as the JP/PAL OST does on every tune.

Phenomenal game though regardless of OST. Love the stages, it plays great and some fun thinking-persons boss fights.

Given this isn't an early PS2 title either this is extremely impressive. If it's half as good as the GTA releases you yourself worked on, DC owners are in for a treat!

Thanks for taking part chap. New one is pinball so going to be a mixed bag of entries as pinball doesn't suit everyone!

That's meant to say Ash not Leon at the bottom...doh! 😂

#MegaDriveChallenge scores Sunset Riders!

YouTube video by Martin Whitehouse Shinobi Art of Vengeance Early Access Review

A review of the new #ShinobiArtofVengeance from early access. Is this #SEGA game great or not? Come and see my thoughts from a few hours of play last night.

Nah seeds can get in the bin but I've tried lots of different types of bread (I used to work on a supermarket bread department as well) and if it's brown or one of these pretender "half and half" breads they all taste utterly rank 😂

I understand the xenophobic drama these types of people seem to be under (wrongly or rightly though I err to the former being true) but to deface the country in protest seems... counterproductive

What’s the best Zelda game?!?

Can the modern, open map, weapon-breaking, no-dungeon revamp ever convince retro gamers?!

Or will old-school always rule?!

Come join the debate in our new vid. Out Now!!

Zelda 1 & 2 are good. Then the quality spared from Link to the past through Wind Waker. Was shakey but steady for Twilight Princess and then nosedived after that. I can't speak for Links Awakening remake but Echoes of Wisdom was the only great Zelda the last decade or so.

I probably need to do the same but whole wheat makes me gurn it's so atrociously disgusting to my taste buds 😂
