    Good thread. :)

    Similar to this where you just moved from left to right avoiding the other cars. :)

    As you can see, this is not a European Megadrive. It is the Japanese one so it could only play a few of the games we had. :( We later got a proper one.

    I gave the above away before moving to America and thats where it ended and not likely to get a newer console now, hate the things. Not that long ago I bought a SNES with a few games and Megadrive (with 32x) on eBay and have began collecting again.

    For those who started off on SNES etc, these games were what we had to endure :D

    Also bought this on my confirmation and played it until it fell apart....
