    Sega Megadrive (Special Edition) With 10 Games Built in.
    2 Player (2 Joypads)
    Also takes old game cartridges from any region.
    (Some people have stated that the sound isn't as good as the old Megadrive, but most say it's fine.)

    I think I just jizzed all over that link.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,302 ✭✭✭JohnMearsheimer


    Street of Rage and Golden Axe??? I'm all over that!! My parents got me one, I'd say it must be nearly 20 years ago by now, cost them a lot more that the equivalent of 21 euro at the time. I probably shouldn't tell them I got one for 20 quid.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24 Kabutofro


    haha, it better have a save button, remember having to play these games from the start every time, and god knows how many times I gathered together the effort and concentration it takes to nearly complete it and then your maa starts hoovering and hits the megadrive and you feel deadly cuz you are sure its just paused but actually all is lost!!!!!!!!!!! and then ya do it all again cuz your hardcore like that


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,066 ✭✭✭✭omb0wyn5ehpij9


    That is a absolute bargain!
    I have a megadrive with about 25 games, the megadrive collection on the Xbox 360, and also on the PSP, and at that price....i'm still tempted :pac:

    just a heads up that apparently this is a little bit dodgy and won't actually play all cartridges. Having said that €21 for a console thats not available anymore with 10 games and that in theory will play other games is pretty nice. Just be careful before hitting up ebay buying a load of games!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 567 ✭✭✭thegift06


    " My biggest problem with this console was when I tried out Street Fighter II. After trying out the built in games I wasn't expecting the console to play it perfectly, however it does not play it at all. I just get a red screen. It's supposed to be more compatible that a real Megadrive, yet certain games just don't play at all. I was very disappointed as Street fighter II is one of my favourite games, and if this console can't play all Megadrive games then it should not be licensed as a Megadrive game player. "
    taken from a review from Amazon so looks like it doesnt play old games

    also another bad review said this
    The music sounds slow and distorted, even on the games built into the machine

    Im not trying to put people off it im just giving people information

    is there a way of getting free delivery because it is coming up as an extra £5 when i selected it ?

    AFAIK the best thing is to order something else which qualifies for free super saver delivery to bring your order up to £25. I ordered a 3m hdmi cable (prob not a great price) which did the job

    Some of them sega games on amazon vary drastically in price, like bomberman going for 25pound. Wish I kept all my sega games now. Rolling thunder 2 is priceless, nuff said.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,243 ✭✭✭discobeaker


    I got one of these about a year or so ago in Game for 50 euro and they are great. Really compact and tidy so that is a great price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,101 ✭✭✭MitchKoobski


    You're all welcome to come to my house to play it but I get the good controller and you have to be the girl in Golden Axe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,194 ✭✭✭mada999


    shadow dancer was class


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,075 ✭✭✭sok2005


    Cheers for the great bargain! Almost bought this for my husband on Firebox yesterday for about €60 inc delivery! Will be grabbing this one instead! :D

    Merry Christmas... sorry, too early!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,252 ✭✭✭Africa


    Bought. Thanks!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 106 ✭✭heid


    I have the original but not sure where the cables are. So are these cables that are supplied with this compatible with the original, such as the controllers,av/scart lead and power adapter?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,234 ✭✭✭Ardennes1944


    i wish this was a snes!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,909 ✭✭✭bennyc

    Thanks OP, just got one for GF but more for me ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,635 ✭✭✭jenno86


    Handheld version with 18 games!

    Don't think it takes cartridges tho.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,092 ✭✭✭✭Tusky


    Wish it was a snes too!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 525 ✭✭✭JHet


    Oh the memories! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    Waaaaaaant!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,092 ✭✭✭✭Tusky


    The question is...is this a suitable present for someone who never really got into computer games and wont enjoy the nostalgia of it...hmm.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 450 ✭✭Lunaarli


    Will this work on a portable tv?!

    Bought it for the bro-in law for Crimbo. Worked out at €29 though delivered but still happy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 126 ✭✭JaneyMacker


    I think i'll get one of these. I have all the sega games on the laptop through an emulator, but this would be cool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 106 ✭✭heid


    There are some reviews an youtube saying to avoid this. To get the original instead as some games don't work at all and that it has crap sound.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,092 ✭✭✭✭Tusky

    Super saver delivery is free, you just need to select it.

    Where is best place to buy games for this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,901 ✭✭✭Twilightning


    I don't understand why people don't just emulate all of their old (legally purchased) games with better sound, graphics and widescreen. I think Sonic 1 takes up less than a MB on my hard drive.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,655 ✭✭✭El Inho


    emulating just makes more sense....its not the real console so i dont see the point..

    emulating gives the full collection....your better spenging the 20 sponds on a class controller for the job.

    You cant give an emulator as a Christmas Presents lads! "Is that our laptop all wrapped up and under the tree"?! Thus the purchase!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,503 ✭✭✭adamski8


    just played mine for the first time, sound is exactly as it was on the original. i think people seem to forget how poor sound was back in the day, great bargain


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 211 ✭✭Rocko

    I wouldn't count on it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,267 ✭✭✭deegs


    I got one there a week or so ago and it took 3 working days to come to Cork :)

    Bit annoyed tho, I bought it for the kids to play on and leave my consoles alone :) (well maybe for me to play golden axe again :) )

    Then my missus told me about this
    http://www.lidl.ie/cps/rde/xchg/lidl_ri_ie/hs.xsl/index_16293.htm

    And that even has wireless controllers....
    (bet the games are crap tho)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,075 ✭✭✭sok2005


    Husband just opened it, it's faulty and wont work. So disappointed.
