SEGA Megadrive turns 20 years old.

LINKAGE.

Undeniably one of the greatest consoles ever made, and easily SEGA's best. Happy birthday, Megadrive!

Ahh SEGA's golden age.

The system was a thing to behold. IMO it beat the SNES easypeasy.

Happy birtday to the megadrive in my draw!
its 2 and a bit years older than me...weird.

I need to find a Megadrive emulator that works on Linux.

Wow, it's really 20 years old. Such a great system, was the first console I ever played and on it Sonic the hedgehog 1 and 2, got me hooked on games since I was 2.

Love this advert, would never have come out in the uk, mainly because of the spelling.

lol, I never heard of the 32X untill I was reading about it in NOM when the revolution was announced with the virtual console.

Since it's also been the Dreamcast's ten year anniversary recently, everyone who loves old SEGA should put

There was me thinking the Megadrive died years ago, and all this time it's been alive and well, getting slowly older.

It'll always be a console that reminds me of what it was like to be about 6 years old. Happy birthday.

Congrats on celebrating your 2oth birthday, Sega. The Mega drive was one of the best consoles of the golden age. Yayyy

Not enough of you are putting it in your sigs :-x

Done. Sega sure made excellent consoles.

Just added it. It\'s blue brilliance stands out in my busy sig :3

EDIT: By the way guys, if you want to remove the border from the gif (like I did) then remove the image tags and use this instead:

(Take away the space from after the first < )

What's the point in having it in your sig if it doesn't go "Sayy-gah!"

It's like having Christmas without mince pies*

*technically I only tried mince pies for the first time when I was 15

Happy Birthday Megadrive! Finally in your twenties! Still play it every now and then, it sure is good at continuing to work no matter what age.

Cheers for the border thing, SL. It's fucking mad when a stack of them all glisten at once..

Ah Mega Drive. The original one, not his dodgy siblings of various shapes and sizes.

Happy birthday sir! To you and your dodgy pins in the controller ports that were so easily bent by an over-zealous insertion.

I have acquired two of these glorious consoles over the past few years.

Just recently a Mega CD too. Totally worth buying =]

Mega Drive > Most next-gen consoles tbh.

But otherwise I agree. I still plan on getting a 32X add on so I can play Knuckles Chaotix... That'll be never though.

The SEGA image without the border doesn't work for me .

This is the most insane thing in the world, I really can't believe the Megadrive is that old! Wow, that does make me feel old, this was my first console and its 20 years old!
