Does the white MegaDrive exist?

[KillerBean2]

I have heard a faint rumor that the Japanese was lucky enough to be blessed with a very, very short production run of white MegaDrives. I am talking about real Megadrives, not the basderdized TecToy model....

Does this have any truth to it? Was the white MegaDrive ever produced?

[Genesisdoes]

I found some strange variants on this site, http://newgame.ru/16bit/index.htm
some of them are white. Anybody know what language this is?

[Genesis Knight]

Romanian?

[Zebbe]

It's russian. The consoles are bootlegs.

It's Russian, and the stuff on the site is probably even more dodgy than the TecToy machines :(

EDIT: I'm too slow :)

[Genesisdoes]

yeah, they even have a bunch of commerical roms on that site.

Dodgy? TecToy is Sega's Brazilian arm. It's not like they're selling 999999-in-one MD-on-a-chip clones, their stuff is legitimate.

I know TecToys things are ligit, but it just doesn't have the real... feel.

IMO 71 build in games is overkill :|

Their Mega Drive is grey, it has 71 built in games, two 6 button controllers and it sales today... Ah, Brazil is so exotic.

[KillerBean2]

back to the topic... please.

[Zebbe]

Okay... My research extra-ordinaire a la Google confirms my suspicion: there is no Jap Mega Drive.

[Mr Smith]

Just buy some white paint and do the job yourself. :D

[David J.]

Perhaps you are confused with the White Limited Edition Game Gear released in Japan?

[CMA Death Adder]

there is no Jap Mega Drive.

Wow - as soon as I read that, my Japanese Mega Drive disappeared. :(

[highlandcattle]

I'm not to sure that all those New russian games are 100% since they even bothered to translate the copyrights and stuff. I need to ask my gf to translate it all for me

[Zebbe]

CMA Death Adder: Gaah, forgot the word "white" :/.

[dougfunnie]

Russian, comrade :)


Shhh, you don't want people reading the site to think it's full of communists.
Oh wait...

In Soviet Russia, Mega Drive plays YOU!!

Hvad helvede KillerBean, kan man også finde dig herinde? :D

*Danish language aside*

There's a RetroCore episode where Yakumo is doing a tour in a retro game shop (in Japan) and he states that there used to be an WHITE MD on display in the shop but unfortunately it's gone when he turnes up with his video camera. Think I still have the episode on my computer...

Lol, this always cracks me up.

I understand that, since I'm a Swede. I wouldn't if you had spoken it, since Danish sounds like a mixture of Swedish and German with porridge in your throat. :p

My first post on this forum and I'd already been bullied, sigh... By a swede :(

You know, swedish is just bad pronunciation of the danish language :D "Look it up guys, it's a fact"

Sorry, I didn't mean to be so nasty and offend you. I was just joking and have nothing against danes. I doubt Swedish is a bad pronunciation of Danish, but we do understand your language worse than you understand ours. I know one thing: Denmark hasn't won almost anything in wars against Sweden for almost 500 years. "Google that one, folks!"

LOL... No offence taken :D Hoped you could see I was joking as well?

But we both know he is right... Danish IS an extremely ugly language! :D

[Zebbe]

Alf81: Yeah, although knowing irony or not is quite hard at the internet for me. It's easier to know it in spoken words...

Have Sweden ever been involved in a war?

[KillerBean2]

You bet, 27 to be exact :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Swedish_wars

[Mr Smith]

Anglo-Swedish War (1810-1812)
Sweden declared war on the United Kingdom. The war existed on paper only, and Britain was still officially allowed to station ships in the Swedish port of Hanö and trade with the Baltic nations. :huh:

[Zebbe]

Sweden has the current world record of peace, since we stole Norway from Denmark back in 1814. That's almost 200 years! Denmark are pretty far away from that record, since they joined USA and UK in the war of Iraq a few years ago.

Not as bad as German... :p

But back on topic, folks?

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN?

As for the origin of the white Mega Drive - I'd assume it's either a TecToy machine, or somehow got gonfused with the Japanese Sega Saturn.

[KillerBean2]

But the guy who makes RetroCore usually knows what he's talking about...

I just really, really would like the story to be true.
