First, just saying hi. This is really my first topic on this forum. Hello to you all. :)
I've always wanted a Megadrive. Always. It hasn't been on my mind a lot, but it's always been deep in the back there, probing away, occasionally lurking. Ever since I played Sonic and Knuckles at my friends house way back when I was about 10 years old, I was totally enthralled (that game is still my favourite)
However, I have always stopped myself half way through buying. I would pick myself up and go 'No, you shouldn't do that, don't buy it, you'll regret it'. A part of me is very paranoid, paranoid that I'll do something wrong or mess something up so that part of me has always made me be conservative when it comes to dishing out and buying it.
However, I made it a new years resolution to buy one, so I had to take the plunge. I looked on eBay- Well, to be more accurate, I SIGNED UP for eBay and Paypal- just to look for one, to look for a Sega Megadrive. Nowhere near me is there a store that sells retro games, apart from one place I know but they tend to be pricy.
Anyway, to cut a long story a little shorter, with the help of a very learned friend who knows a lot about eBay, I've FINALLY managed to get a Sega Megadrive. Yes, it's taken me ten years but I've done it. Paypal says that I've paid the person responsible and now I simply have to wait for him to send it. I'll probably have to collect the thing at the post office at some unearthly time of the morning, but I won't care; it'll be mine, all mine. Heh, it makes me feel a little giddy that I am buying it.
Anyway, here's the part where you can all shell in your opinions. This system is going to come with four games:
-Sonic the Hedgehog (It's Sonic's first outing; what's not to like?)
-Pga Tour Golf 2 (The joker in the pack. I hate sport games :P)
-Alien Storm (Love this one, I don't know why but I do)
-Mega Games 2 Cartridge (Golden Axe, Streets of Rage and Revenge of the Shinobi in one cartridge? Heaven! :D)
Anyway... *gets to the bit you've all been waiting for*
What games do YOU think I should buy? I know I will hunt down copies of Splatterhouse 2 and Sonic and Knuckles, I have to get them if it's the last thing I do... But what OTHER games do you think I should get?
*now hides from deluge of recommendations* :P
