Mega CD - Where to buy seperately from the Mega Drive/Genesis?

[Henry Spencer]

I've checked eBay; with no luck, they all include the Mega Drive with it, I want the Mega CD seperately, where can I get it please? Thanks again.

People realise they can get rid of a fairly common console along with the desirable piece of kit. Like how pretty much every Mega Drive game bundle invariably has a copy of Sonic 2 and some sports game. Why not just buy the bundle and flip the Mega Drive afterwards? Hell, you're more likely to get the useful connector plates if you get a Mega Drive/Mega-CD combo.

[Henry Spencer]

Bah, that's not the answer I want.

If you are in the UK, your best bet is a Gamestation. How I found mine. I was lucky it was boxed and had everything.

Man that's a lot of money. I've never seen them go for that much used in the states.

[Symos]

I must have payed £10 less for mine, and it had the box and everything, including a copy of Road Avenger. (I was lucky.)

[Henry Spencer]

What a rip off.

Gamestation suck too; they always sell it WITH the Mega Drive.

Henry Spencer: You're without doubt the most fastidious guy on Sega-16. First Streets of Rage 3 and now the Mega CD. :P

I think I was when I wanted the Batman version of Revenge of Shinobi. Remember? haha

[Zebbe]

Haha, yeah. My pal has a pirate version with Batman. I gotta tell my mom to look after that when she's going to Thailand and getting pirate games for me :).

[David J.]

Well, I've done some research, and I can tell you you need a COMPLETE copy of Super Shinobi... to know if it has batman. If it has the holes punched in the manual, like all early MD games, and I read there are some pictures in the manual that can tip you off.

Someday I am going to buy the Japanese version,

[Zebbe]

Or I can just play the game until I see him or not. :)
It doesn't really matter that much, since it's a pirate game I get for present. I will be nice to have some in the collection though.

[Henry Spencer]

In case you never noticed, two other people agreed that was rediculous!

[Zebbe]

Get a Sega CD instead then, they are cheaper. But the shipping will most likely be higher. Anyway, I'd say there is no chance getting a Mega CD "cheap", unless you go on an European market tour.

[Symos]

Thing is if you get a Sega CD, you'll need one of those carts before you can play euro games on it.

[Henry Spencer]

Yeah, I can actually see lots of benefits from getting a SEGA CD instead actually, thanks for the heads up. :)
