I love this place

[Guntz]

I'm sure you guys (the people who run this place) get this all the time, but I just thought I'd mention it. Sega-16 is one of my favorite sites ever. :D

[Flygon]

I'm also with you on that.

It's probably one of the more mature forums I've ever visited (The age demographic probably helps significantly though). :)

Seriously? I think we are a bunch of loose cannons. All we ever talk about is beards, bitches, Raul Julia and Sega.

But I agree. This site it the best. I don't think any other console has a single website where you can learn basically everything and talk shop with good, knowledgeable people.

This and Digital Press are the best ones for gaming and talking shop. DP has Garry Shandling and random noobs, this has Raul Julia and William Shatner. Both are equally great. This is undeniable.

:ok:I Agree SEGA-16 is the most AWESOME site there is:ok:

[shinobimusashi]

special thanks to whoever put in all the hard work to get this site up and running and to whoever keeps it maintained much appreciated! the sega genesis is my primary gaming console and stays hooked up to my living room tv absorbing most of my gaming time all my other consoles rotate from bedroom tv to smokehouse tv to closet to the storage like musical chairs so this is the most relevant video game site for me

My stay here hasn't been long, but it gets the job done!

[NCN]

I'm loving it here as well. I'm a new collector, so the knowledge base has been amazing. On the other hand I've also had a lot of fun with some of the off the wall posts. This is definitely my new home.

[Rusty Venture]

This place has always been "new member" friendly.

Which is why Raul smiles upon this place.

[Baloo]

Yeah, a lot of forums are ready to fucking drive out new members with torches and pitchforks.

Although I do really like DP, I really don't think the community is as good or as technical smart as the one here, there are a lot more assholes and trolls really there. It is a great site for information though.

[The Coop]

Seriously? I think we are a bunch of loose cannons. All we ever talk about is beards, bitches, Raul Julia and Sega.

I don't speak of Raul Julia, for no man is above me. A woman on the other hand, can be above me all she wants. And by above, I mean on top straddling me like a horse she's trying to break.


As for this site, it has it's moments of bitching, pissing and moaning... half the time about things that normal people outside of a padded cell wouldn't be bitching, pissing and moaning about. But what site doesn't? Truthfully, it's the sites without such bickering that you need to be wary of. But I digress a bit...

Sega 16's a good place to swing by daily and see what's up among fellow Sega fans. Nice articles to read and take part in, and discussions that you're never quite sure where they're going to end up. I honestly didn't plan on being around here very long when I first signed up, but it's been a fun seven months so far.

[Rusty Venture]

Although I do really like DP, I really don't think the community is as good or as technical smart as the one here, there are a lot more assholes and trolls really there. It is a great site for information though.

The term you are looking for is "more focused". This is more knowledgable because there is really only one system and its add-ons to worry about.

DP has systems from everyone from every era that they have to worry about.

And there are more trolls and assholes, but most of the time they are friggin hilarious.

[MrMatthews]

Well, Rusty's post just pushed this thread into the second page, and I can't be bothered to go back and read the first few posts. By the thread's title, however, I think it's safe to assume that this is another Sega-16-worshipping topic.

I normally don't post in these things, but I should say that this place really is great. I've been on this site for about a year and a half now, and I've come to regard many of you guys as friends (even though you're not even "real"). We may not actually talk all that much, nor would we know each other on the street, but in the context of this small, intimate community, I consider my life better for the weird friendships I've made here.

The rest of you, on the other hand, I can barely tolerate. You know who you are.

[InternalPrimate]

I'd like to thank certain former forum members COUGHtheedgeCOUGH for helping this community grow closer ;)

left the galaxy from the blow of the mighty banhammer

In the dramatic retelling of that event, I wish the author had gone with his instinct and given Joe's weapon a different name. I like Banhammer because it sounds like Foehammer, but everyone uses it.

These days I'm liking "Banmaker"

[Metal_Sonic]

I like "Hand of God" but Banmaker is cool too. Too bad about you being a dirty cop

[Dunn]

Doomtool perhaps?

[Rusty Venture]

My overly dramatic retelling would play out like a John Woo movie with lots of double handgun action.

[KholdStare]

I haven't been here long, but I do agree that this site kicks major ASSSS. I love it.

[zetastrike]

I'm on a few forums, but this is the only one I visit regularly. I like it because the members aren't douchebags like a lot of other places. You tolerate me, too unlike the anime forum I was on (never say you like Macross better than Gundam). Everyone here really knows what they're talking about. This is definitely my favorite place online.

Well, there are some funny trolls, and then there are some that are just plain dicks, that really ruin it for me at Digital Press. There seems to be a lot of assholes there, maybe it's just me. They're ready to fucking crucify anyone there who asks simple questions and whatnot, here everyone seems to be pretty accepting of opinions and generally friendly. Sure we get a troll or two, but even still they don't make anyone feel unwelcome.

That's why I love it here, everyone's friendly and nice and informative. At Digital Press there are nice people, but there are a lot of people there that just ruin the community.

[Nunzio]

never say you like Macross better than Gundam

:hand: Hold up. What?

[Rusty Venture]

I will, after I finish my 500 trillion dollar epic "Zebbe: The Swedish android who learned how to love".

If you can't handle five hours of Eric Roberts dancing Bollywood style, then you better just move to the Moon.

[edwithmj]

This forum along with sega8bit forum and segasaturn.co.uk forum are the best fora out there for the respective systems. This forum could do with a few more sub-fora though in my opinion. I wish I could find a good classic game boy forum which discusses only the original black and white games though.

[Baloo]

Segasaturn.co.uk is good, but the forum design itself is pretty bad. I don't like that Proboards design or w/e it is.

[JackieBogard]

I've been here a few months and I love it. I love doing the monthly reader roundtables!

[Icedawg316]

I have to say too, I've just been browsing this site the past few days but it is great. I'm glad to be here

[The Sports Guy]

I've been around for 30 months now and I love it!

[djshok]

That. This site makes me feel like it's the 90s again. I love this place.

[QuickSciFi]

I do love this place. The people here are profoundly passionate about the Genny and it's contemporaries. That's exactly what I was looking for and, thus, I found a new home in this site. Thank you, sega-16!!! :D

[Ecco]

I wasn't going to post in this thread before. We all know the old saying after all: "Praise is poison."

So anyways I thought I'd mention that I've very much enjoyed reading through all of the reviews and features, and chatting in the forums. Even though I'm relatively new to the forums, I spent a couple years before that reading through all the reviews and features. So I've gotten a good few yrs of enjoyment from this site. Not to mention this site has helped my Genesis / Sega CD collection become massive and AWESOME.

I sometimes participate in a couple other forums and it's really true when people mention that the Sega-16 forums are relatively mature and respectful.

Some forums have thousands of members including huge #'s of trolls ready to blow up anything they can, while shooting out neg rep at strangers...

At least around here, when someone goes on a troll rampage, it's usually limited to that single troll... Be thankful there aren't DOZENS of trolls looking to jump into a hissy fit at the same time, like SOME forums... LOL

And I won't go into details (and please believe me that I'm NOT homophobic), but if you've never seen a few dozen very flamboyant trolls trying to tear someone apart who posted a legitimate thread starter... Let's just say it's a unique experience. LOL!!!

I have to agree with you. I've been reading the reviews and the other extra interesting tidbits for about 6 months now and I finally decided to join the forums. I have to say this is one of the most mature forums I have had the pleasure of reading and hopefully it will last that way. Keep up the good work you guys!

[Mr Smith]

Sega-16 is good, praise Rául!

[Baloo]

I also love how mature this forum is when it comes to certain issues. We only have had maybe 1-2 trolls within the time I've been there, and they really were tolerable. They don't go out and insult people over opinions like most forum trolls do. I love our little community here at Sega-16.

Here's to another 5 years of greatness!

[Guntz]

I think the only person on here I don't really like is Metal Sonic, but that's more because he's cynical rather than a straight troll. 17days isn't my fight so I don't take him into account. Knuckle Duster is just... Weird.

Other than that, my opinion still hasn't changed since post 1 in this topic. There's so much right on this site and it's little community. Long live Sega-16! :D :ok:

[Flygon]

I'm surprised my near absolute insanity wasn't mentioned anywhere in that post.

One day... I can... no, one day I will explode!

Incidentally your post count is the fastest I've ever seen anyones rise in this forum, hehehe.

He did post a lot, but then again I have a pretty extreme amount of posts as well considering I've only been here about 11 months. Guntz has been here 4 months and has roughly 1/4 of the posts I have, so I guess it's about even ;)

[Flygon]

Okay... yeah, you have surprised the utter hell out of me.

I always looked at the Staff Writer logo below your name and ignored the join date. :)

Completely agree with you, very few sites are so much dedicated to the main idea.

[FlackoWeasel]

I also love this place, a lot. People are so nice and lovely and it's a joy, gives me cheer.

[Melf]

And we're very happy to have you all!

Lots of us have strong opinions about things, but that's the way families are, and I like to think of these forums as one big Sega family. It's all good. :)

[The Sports Guy]

What I think is great is that we all enjoy playing Sega (I don't really ever call it Genesis) in different ways.

I might be the only one (or one of a few people) who plays sports games like nobody's business. Yet, there are people on here who love to mod Sega's and find good ones from bad ones. I don't care one bit about that! Give me a six pack of some brews, my buds and NHL 96 and we're set forever.

But I take great pride in being the guy to go to when it comes to sports games on this site.

[M4R14NO94]

I do love this place as well, mostly because (as other members said) everybody's friendly with new members, instead of treating them like shit since the very first post, and it's the only forum in which I'm really interested, because everybody here cares about Sega's greatest system and its add-ons, unlike many people these days that think everything Nintendo shat out is gold and that Sega sucks. But, most importantly, everything that happens in the forum is awesome, or should I say, jawusum, like the cults, Burning Fight (except for the recent stuff that happened in that thread), Flacko's Drawings, the derailed Shatocalypse from dragonboy's leaving thread and many more things.

Here's to more years of forum jawusumness!

[Rusty Venture]

I read the glorious "Burning Fight" thread and then saw its downfall.

I cried into a pillow for 20 minutes knowing my ultimate dream of being an animated dog with a Rayden hat will never be fully realized.

[Guntz]

I'm sorry for killing the Burning Fight thread! :sorry:

Alongside the Four Bright Buttons and Two Joysticks thread

[Mr Smith]

The burning fight thread will pale into insignificance when I ascend to mod status and Genesis Knight returns from the shadows. Our chaotic war will rage across Sega-16. Many will be banned in this glorious conflict.

[dodgeme]

I love this site, helped me figure out what was wrong with my Sega CD model 1 when I initially got it just by searching around a little bit. Then I was even able to get a great trade on here. It's a great community here and I will visit on and off because of it.

[Hiarcs]

A great site for sure, and a rare one, one of a kind.

[The Jackal]

Hello Hiarcs.

Hello Hiarcs.

Hey budd!!!

[KnightWarrior]

I like this forum

[St Louie Bee]

I don't remember how long I've been coming to this site (3-4 months?) and I'm not really sure how I found it, but once I started really digging in I knew I found somewhere I would be spending a lot of time at.

I only registered about a month ago and have already posted 2 reviews. I have had several questions answered in the forums where I have always been treated fairly. Where else can you do that?

However, I hate being in the dark. I can see there is a lot of history in these forums and with the current and former members. I'm obviously going to have to read the Burning Fight thread. Can any long time members recommend some other threads where I can do some remedial reading?


Thanks everyone!

[Rusty Venture]

Reading every post by the former member "RegalSin" is recommended.

It is a journey into jawusumness.

[ceramiclion]

I recently found this place and I have found a lot of useful information. Its great to see real sega mega drive fans here. I get tired of all the SNES talk, even though I like it too but the mega drive deserves more respect than what it gets.

[Guntz]

Something else I'd like to add to the thread. Some of the best reads I've had here (outside the published articles of course) are those by the techheads. If it weren't for them I would never have known about the Sega CD ASIC's untapped power. Thanks Chilly Willy, Tomaitheous, Kool Kitty, Jorge Nuno and any other technologically advantaged users who make Sega-16 an even better site than it already is. :D

Seconded! I'm pretty tech savvy myself, but I am but an apprentice while this site has many masters :D

By the way, do you realize that we may have started a mini-revolution of RGB gaming in the states? Every retro forum has a section where people talk about using RGB-YUV transcoders now, but Sega-16 did it years before anyone else.

[Guntz]

I don't claim to know lots of the technical stuff, but I love learning more about it. :)

On the subject of RGB awareness, I think the NEO-GEO scene did it even earlier than Sega-16 did. Only difference is Sega-16 is more public and newbie friendly than anything that has come from the Neo ever since the collector's picked up on it back in the 90s.

[mrbigreddog]

This site does kick ass!!! What else am I suppose to do all day at work??
The versatility of this site is just amazing... From selling to buying to trading to learning about unreleased games and flash carts...
What else would a gamer (sorry) player (whatever) video game enthusiast need?!

[ItellYaHuat]

I'm glad there is a community dedicated to the Genesis/CD/32X. Before finding Sega-16, I never found communities with people that appreciated Sega's 16-bitter at all. I was surrounded by Nintendo fans so I would get kinda chewed at. Not saying that I hate Nintendo, I just don't like particular fan groups. I actually found out about Sega-16 a couple years ago but didn't register until this year. Why? Don't ask me. I would just read the features, reviews, and browse the forum. Perhaps I should have registered earlier but better later than never.

Sega-16 my new hangout, yo.

[Hiarcs]

This is an excellent site overall, specially in terms of finding some knowledge of our beloved Genesis and the like, nice place, nostalgic and well done.

[eddiespruce]

I come here at least once a day. If you love Sega Genesis/Megadrive, this is the place to be!
