Was it that long ago when not everyone had a console in their rooms and the Megadrive and SNES battled it out amongst the space underneath the television?
I remember the megadrive well, it had some of the best 2D platform games and arcade conversions available, thanks to the fact that it was a Sega machine. Although against the SNES it looked weak, it was the games that the Snes never had, or didn't do very well, that really sold the machine, things like the classic Golden Axe and Outrun. These were some of my favorite all-time games and top amongst them was the incredible Sonic the Hedgehog. In fact, I've now got the sonic jam compilation on the Saturn and Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast, based mainly on playing it originally on the megadrive.
Golden Axe on the megadrive was excellent too, almost all the bits from the arcade were faithfully reproduced and the best part was not having to put endless amounts of ten pences in to complete it!
There are many other classics, Streets of Rage (1,2 and 3), Columns - the only good rival to tetris and lots more that made the megadrive such a special machine to own. The only thing I just can't believe is how long ago that was!
