What uneducated times we live in!!

Now then, let me just start off by going OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!

Now I've got that out of the way, I was recently chatting to a certain person not to be named and they were asking me about good NES emulators so I asked them, "Why not try this online Megadrive emulator?" and they asked me what the hell was a Megadrive!!!

This is a multi questioned thread, do you know what a megadrive is? Did you ever own one? What was your favorite game for it?

Along with this is there anything (and I mean at all) that you found out exsisted recently that you never knew did and you still don't know what it is?

Now I must go and play Sonic the Hedgehog on my Megadrive Emulator, I shall check back in later, and if this has been moved to another forum I'll be annoyed, ANNOYED I SAY!

Is Megadrive the equivalent of Sega Master System? Because there might lie the confusion.

I have no idea what a megadrive is.

Nope, the Megadrive came after the master system and as a master system is 8 bits and a megadrive is 16 their very different.

Yeah... o_o

Megadrive was what it was in Japan and here in Europe, I think - Americans had it renamed to Genesis because they like renaming everything including games just to be awkward :p

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Genesis
Sega Genesis was a 16-bit video game console released in North America. It was successor of the Sega Master System and Sega's sole success in the console market. It launched the 16-bit era of console gaming, and in the end slightly out-selling rival Nintendo's SNES.

Internationally the console was known as the Sega Megadrive.

Sounds about right..

Take care all.

Yay! Good job Archie.

Yeah, I also had Megadrive, and I used to think what the heck is 'Sega Genesis'.:)

Nope. The future lay with the SNES. I had that.

Is this the dead console we're talking about or have we moved onto the Play Station?

I've moved onto the PC myself :p Don't need a snes/playstation when the PC can do all that :p

*nods*

Something I agree with out about

*Goes out and looks for FF11*

heh.. First time i ever heard of the 'megadrive' i was thinking...
"gee, that sounds like some sort of banana shaped vibrator or something...."

later to find out from a friend of mine that it was infact, the equivalent to the genisis due to the craziness of the american trend....

No idea...

I still have my megadrive, <3 it. It's annoying to set up though, that's why I need a GC and Sonic Mega Collection :D

SEE YOU JERK I KNEW WHAT A SEGA MASTER SYSTEM WAS! I JUST KNEW IT AS THE SEGA GENESIS! HAHAHAAHAHA I'M NOT DUMB AFTER ALL11?@?1/>$1

Oh, as for everybody who isn't Baloki, I was that certain somebody who had no idea what a sega master system was. I actually looked it up online and STILL didn't know what it was. It didn't look a Genesis to me.

*shrug*

I had a Genesis. I thought it sucked.

Master System?
That's the 8-bit one, totally different from Genesis. I hope you meant Mega Drive. GJ on proving yourself not dumb. :D

I won a genesis, like 10 years ago. It was awesome. Then it BROKE. :(

Not too long ago I spent ages looking for a Megadrive emulator and wondered just what the crap the Genesis was. And now I know, yay.

Megadrive = Genesis? Cool. I have two Sega Genesiseseses (Geneci?).

I DON'T CARE YOU'RE ALL SUX!

Geneci? GENECIDE!!! :eek:

Yeah I had one but I had no idea it was called 'Megadrive' in other places...and like King Bahamut, I also thought it sucked.

So technically I guess I didn't know what a 'Megadrive' was either before this thread. :p

Theres a cool one called Gens, thats the one I use.

*Still has all the old games just not the megadrive*

Yeah, it was named Genesis in NA. Throughout Australia, Europe and Japan it was named Megadrive. =)

Playing all day long EA's NHL '94, 95 and '96 with Megadrive against my friends are best gaming times I've ever had.

I still own a working megadrive 2 with a load of games including all of the original sonic ones and the lion king (whod've thought it be that hard to complete a disney platform game?) and the strike series also cannon fodder and a load others brilliant fun even today

Yeah, I knew it was called teh Megadrive. I still think Genesis is a better name. It doesn't really matter though because I liked Super Nintendo better.
