Ended up that my childhood #SegaGenesis could not be saved, so it had to get a new board. Wound up with a VA6, which I'm happy with—has TMSS sure, but it's also one of the best options for video/audio quality.
After a long life of providing my joy, the original board will now live on up on my wall.
Two more #SegaGenesis games I never played in my younger days acquired, and at a price I couldn’t refuse!
…and already beat #Quackshot last night. 😅 Definitely an interesting game, especially with the whole element of hopping between areas. But, a few super annoying parts brings the game down a tad.
Only briefly tried #SubTerrania, and boy did it kick my ass.
Okay, @miona's #VGMWednesday has a theme of #Sampled - looking for songs where elements from video game music is incorporated into the beat / melody of a song.
Let's take it back to 1995 when Bone Thugs-N-Harmony sampled the underrated #SegaGenesis fighting game Eternal Champions in their aptly titled track, "Eternal."
Latest #MegaDrive pickup is more for the shelf than it is for playing. I regret having sold off my #SegaGenesis copies of the #PhantasyStar games, and no way am I rebuying the trio for the price it'd now take to do so.
So, much cheaper MD copies at least get #Sega's RPG franchise back in my collection.
Hey everyone! Here's the first episode of that big Shining Force retrospective I've been threatening to put out for a few weeks! Come and check out almost everything there is to know about Sega's classic strategy RPG!
This week's game is Heavy Nova, an infamous robot fighting game full of bizarre design choices, slow gameplay, and enough invincibility frames to make a person want to give up. Is there fun to be found in it, though? I think so!
UPDATE: Had a third Model 1 #SegaGenesis I got some time back as part of a bundle. Ugly on the inside, broken P1 controller port, BUT with a shell that was still in great shape.
So, I swapped its top panel onto the newer unit, giving me a fantastic-condition back-up to my childhood (now Frankensteined) Genesis. (Just missing the extension port cover.)
And then a third ugly one that’ll be there for parts.
