"The Megadrive"

Well I asked for the forum (or as it happens, name change) and it went ahead, so here I am.

The Megadrive.

Brill i'n't it? I still play mine fairly often - all the classic games like Mega Bomberman, Probotector, Fifas, Street Racer etc.

So to start this topic off, who had or has played the absolute gem, Michael Jackson's Moonwalker?

I used to have that "dance 'em to death" game.

What about Rocket Knight Adventures? Xenon 2 Megablast? Sword of Vermillion? Eswat? Revenge of Shinobi? Crueball?

I've got a Megadrive and about 60 games at home.

I've still got my Megadrive. It's great fun. I went down the Sonic game route and I also got Micro Machines 2 which is great. I found 4 Megadrive joypads a few years back for £2.50 each. One of the best tenners I've ever spent.

For some reason I hardly got any Megadrive games. Probably because I had zero money. I didn't even have Streets of Rage, although I seem to remember renting it a few times.

Does anywhere still sell Megadrive games aside from Ebay?

I played Moonwalker once on rental. Loved Streets of Rage series. Classics. Sonic was my favourite though, oh and Premier Manager. Spent a childhood playing them.

I still own a megadrive 2, its class. I have streets of rage, sonic, shinobi, golden axe, aladdin and a few others i never bought many for it. I know that Gamestation still sell hundreds of old games for any console, if i ever wanted to buy anymore.

Moonwalker was so ironic. Having to save the children, oh it may have seemed sweet at the time...

I have fond memories of Golden Axe. I was never to keen on Shinobi though. I played Aladdin through a couple of times I think at some point.

Did anyone ever play Greendog? If so, cold you ever get past the bit where you were on the subway station level? I don't thing I ever got past that. Very annoying it was.

*could you, sorry :P

Does anyone own a copy of Paperboy for the Megadrive? I always found it to rent but could never find it to buy anywhere.

Just thought of another great game. It was called Haunting or something like that. You were a little green ghost and you had to scare a family out of their homes. Excellent fun.
