Know it's REALLY late but here's my lovely genesis.
Happy 25th.
Stick another game into S&K to make the transformation complete.
For extra power use a gamegenie as well.

Yes, yes, yes! Loved that game. I never owned it, but a friend down the road did. I tried to trade for it without luck. The local retro shop has it for $50 CIB; I need to pull the trigger on it.
No Game Genie but I do own a Cartridge/Console Cleaner (no idea where it is atm though...)

Got the same kind of component pass through too!
So do I!!!
Baphomet, when you get the chance, check your PMs.
PVM Genesis over RGB just changed my life, no joke. Will have to post some pics in the PVM thread later. Glad you are waiting for a 20 inch.

Soo.. it appears I hurt my back loading and unloading that CRT. LOL @ this comedy of errors I call a life. Be careful with those big boys!

damn, take it easy today Jwto - rest, ice (not directly on the skin, 15-20 minute intervals) and don't be too macho for the ibuprofen as it's more to let the inflamed nerves heal than the pain itself sometimes. tomorrow you switch the ice for heating pads, and if shit persists you see a doctor etc etc - rest up man!

The new Jontron is about Japanese Shoot 'Em Ups, and well not all about Sega, it does cover a few of the note-worthy ones. It also does look like, given the video, that bastard has a legit Keio Flying Squadron for the Sega CD.

His Panorama Cotton is a bootleg so who knows about the rest
Im going to do an ebay search for harmful park, and i'd bet I wont be happy.
Is it actually pretty fun?
It is. I mean, if you like games like Parodius, you should enjoy it.
Better try it out for 600Y off the PSN store before paying 240+$ for it anyway,

True enough. Also, i want Panorama Cotton now, game looks really fun.
I've picked up an original 1988 japanese model 1 Mega Drive, so freaking excited!
My cousin used to have one just like it way back when, which eventually became ours when he lost interest.
26 years of dust and grime haven't been kind to it, but it still was in rather excellent shape.
Tested it with The Super Shinobi on the standard composite cables in my HDTV. It looked absolutely terrible, and you still could not erase the grin on my face!
Have now spent a good chunk of time this weekend opening and reconditioning it back to top shape.
Will post some pictures once it's ready!

CRT's are just cumbersome to carry, like some strongman competition rock. I needed someone to help me move my 115 pound pvm in my apartment.

I wanted to sell this extra Megadrive on ebay. I'm pretty certain it's PAL, as when testing it, it had a flickering black and white display.
But what's the deal with the wire coming out of the back of the system?
It's coming out of a hole in the back of the unit.
Any details on this would be appreciated. Also wondering how much I should sell it for.

That's one sexy console.

It doesn't really fit into a component input either..
RF looks like that in France

That's a Japanese MegaDrive
Notice the colors and the switching lock on the power button

Could be then. It won't fit an RF input on my CRT.
Yeah, that's about what I was hoping to get for it. Would you still be interested if we determined it to be French?
Reset button is blue, it's a japanese unit.

Well its definitely been modded to be a pal unit at some point.

Here's the back.
Alright baphomet, I don't think there's anything I can do with it.
It has some scratching on the outside and about an inch of chipped plastic between the expansion bay and the corner of the system along line where the top and bottom parts of the system fit together. I can take more pictures if you're interested.
PAL Asian Mega Drives have blue reset buttons
Yep. I even have a model 2 from Dubai which is PAL Asian with blue buttons I think.

Expansion bay is fine. Looks like it just may have been dropped or something at some point in its life, or maybe occurred during whatever mod was made to it.
baphomet

Damn, if it had been the bottom part I could have just swapped it with another console. Unfortunately this one would be more for display than actually playing so I'll have to pass. Otherwise its a good looking system.

I would love to, but the 120 price tag is redick.

I'd totally pay that if it somehow actually worked as a functional Mega Drive.
9000 yen at hlj.com, if that helps.

Oh wow, where has it for $120? That's a bit higher than retail (10,800 JPY) and Amiami had presales for $80.

That would be the most amazing thing ever. Someone should make an Optimus Prime SNES to watch them duke it out.
That same company is making an Optimus Prime PSX.

Well, against my better judgment, went ahead and bought a six-button Genesis controller. The good kind, the MK-1653, not the third-party one or the one bundled with the Genesis 3. Only $10 total, including S&H, which is the cheapest I've ever seen these.
I really hope the D-Pad is better than the stock Genesis's, because it's one of my least favorite parts of the controller of late. It just feels so STIFF compared to the SNES or Saturn...
