What uneducated times we live in!!

[Baloki]

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.

[Logan]

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

[crono_logical]

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

EDIT:

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.

[Del Murder]

Yay! Good job Archie.

[Mikztsu]

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

[Yamaneko]

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?

[crono_logical]
