I'll believe it when I see it in my hands.
Also I didn't get that email, time to panic.

I always read about these emails from watermelon but I only seem to get like half of them. I preordered the reprint over a year ago.
Edit: email literally arrived the exact second I clicked post.
I didn't get it either, which is strange because I usually get their emails.
Also agreed on the spoilered lol.

Just got it, no longer panicking.
Same here. I think I might have even ordered two copies of this. I should check. Maybe I should order another copy...

Don't just sit there and waste your
precious time. When you want to do something, do it right away.
Do it when you can. It's the only way to live life without regrets.
all i need to know about life, i learned from sonic
gorgeous, should fetch a high price too...good luck man! also can't wait for the next ep, any updates?
you done good, man! don't know Swiv though
yeah, me too...don't panic if you didn't get it; it exists in a quantum state, just like the game
think mine should be good if you wanna just switch, man
I was chugging along on the edit, but then I discovered something that lead to me throwing out a whole section of the script, capturing some more footage and rewriting the segment.
It's about 1/3 done right now. I'm pushing to get it done next week.
huh? What causes something like that?
Halifax represent! I was born there (though only lived there until I was 6).
Back on topic: that's a great looking modem. I'd never heard of it until now, I figured it was the Japan version of the Sega Channel until Wikipedia set me straight.

They told me they hate you.
I kinda want to do the same, but will be happy just to have the game at this point.

Well thats something alright.
I have no idea, sometime it happens for random US items I watch from France. Maybe you put a wrong flag or word or something.

I actually sold my Genesis and all games, including Shining Force 1 & 2, PS4, Guardian Heroes and more in order to get an Xbox back in 2002. Had a great time with Halo and all, but a few months later I was missing my old genesis.

damn, man...congrats on Shining Force II & all the freebies
Even the auction photography has gotten an upgrade!
That is one mint condition modem, by the way. Tempting... How else would I get to Tel-Tel Mahjong, otherwise?
I haven't been posting here for a while, but always reading. It's time to start catching up!
One interesting development: I've picked up a brand new Model 1 Mega CD. A miracle of archeological backstock, the box was in pretty horrendous shape yet the contents still remained safe and protected inside. It works great, which I halfway didn't really expect it to, and I've started building up a Mega CD library!

It's a good game.
Are those first-party controllers? It says "compatible" so does that mean they [un]licensed remakes?

definitely 3rd party

My rental place probably didn't have it. That's how I played most of the Genesis library. Most of my friends were SNES stans, so no trading or borrowing. I had both systems, but had more access to the SNES library due to trading, borrowing, lending.
Funny enough it was opposite for me, I played more Genesis games than SNES ones and then eventually got a SNES later to play many games on it.

Look at all that star power
I don't think we even had them here. I remember playing Alien Storm as a kid and seeing "Genesis Does!" written in the background when the scores are tallied but had no idea what it meant until a few years go. I knew the Mega Drive was called the Genesis in North America but the phrase meant nothing to me at the time, lol.

Yeah, the Genesis Does ads were more Genesis vs. NES in 1989 and 1990. I think it was mostly to combat the popularity of Mike Tyson's Punch Out with other celebrity-endorsed sports titles. Once the SNES came out, they turned to the Mario vs. Sonic Blast Processing ads.
Yeah, I've played it on SNES, Sega CD, PC and Vita as well, lol. It's one of my favorite games ever. I wish I'd jumped on the Jaguar port back in the day =[
Wait whats going on here? Does this actually happen in Outrun at some point?
The F-14 jet from After Burner and the space ship from Galaxy Force make flyover cameos in OutRun (MD / Genesis) if your time is good enough.

Managed to grab Demolition Man Pal last week. Really rare and a fun game even if it doesn't really capture the movie. Made some other awesome MD pickups too. Check them out if you're so inclined: http://youtu.be/W9eVj6Yw3tk

So, i moved to Pittsburgh, and i'm currently living with my boss, who runs an online repro and general video game stuff store. So, i'm living in his game room right now, and he is as big of a Sega nerd as i am, maybe more.
He has so many prototype boards, i can't even handle it. I've touched the Itchy and Scratchy game. The real thing. Something about this just kind of blows my mind. Its like a museum, and its wonderful.

Hello Sega fans. I would like to buy this http://www.argos.co.uk/m/static/Product/partNumber/9063330.htm
and have a question to you.
What do you think about this device? I read few different opinions. One of them are positive and the others negative. If I'll buy it, physical SMD games work fine with this console? Anyone of you tried this stuff? And one more question. How I can save gaming progress on SMD? Is it possible? Memory card or only some kind of level codes?

It's a system-on-a-chip, sort-of hardware emulation. The sound is usually terrible, the reviews say the controllers are equally crap. I doubt you'd get anything other than Composite out of it. Of course none of the addons work with it, neither do Virtua Racing or SSF2. You can only save progress if the game allows you to, and the save file is stored within the cartridge itself. None of the included games support this feature.
If you want to use your own cartridges, you're much better off getting the original console. It would also most certainly cost you less. If you are inconvenienced by switching cartridges, you can get an Everdrive.
The review confuses me:
