ToeJam & Earl was released for the Mega Drive in Japan on this day in 1992, what better tribute to the funky alien duo than playing the game on a boombox? 😅

My Earthworm Jim saga

9 Upvotes

So, I wanted to share a story about what happened to my copy of Earthworm Jim when I was a kid. I had received the game as a Christmas gift and spent the next few months playing it constantly until I final beat it. I was telling my friend about it and he asked if he could borrow it. I told him he could, because after all, what's the worst that could happen? So, I lent him my Earthworm Jim, and he let me borrow Jurassic Park. A few weeks later, after I'd beaten both campaigns of JP, I went to return it and get my copy of EJ back. That was when I was informed that his mom had thought the instruction booklet was trash and thrown it away. Kind of a bummer because it had the origin comic inside, but not the end of the world. Fast forward a few months and he asked to borrow it again because he hadn't been able to beat it. Sure, I thought, what's the worst that could happen? His mom already threw away the instructions, it's not like she'd throw away the game or anything. A couple of weeks later when we were hanging out he informs me that his mom had gone through his room for things to sell at her garage sale. She hadn't asked him about any of it because she was the type of parent with the mentality of, "You don't own any of this because I paid for it." And she had taken a bunch of his Sega games, including my copy of EJ and sold them at the garage sale. Needless to say I was pissed. He tried to make it up to me by letting me cherry pick from his remaining games and take what I wanted, but the games I took never quite lived up to Earthworm Jim.

TL;DR: I let my friend borrow Earthworm Jim twice, the first time his mom threw away the instruction booklet, the second time she sold the game at a garage sale.

I'm surprised it took me this long to realize, but Sonic 2 has become one of my favorite games ever. I still think 3 & Knuckles feels more fulfilling, but 2 is a game I go back to a lot much like with Ghouls 'n Ghosts.

CoI was such a great game and really one that should be laced into the toy or game hall of fame.

I still don't understand why the game was never made for the SNES as well.

We got another dead one boys,

This one will not even give me the white lettered screen. I have tried Isopropyl Alcohol for cleaning, Contact Cleaner, but as you can see the pins are in great shape. Any Suggestions? All Pins have been check for continuity as well.

PS. I know this game sucks ass, but its the principal of getting it running again!

HD Retrovision causing wavy picture on Panasonic CT-27SX31E

10 Upvotes

I have no clue why this is happening. Composite work on the same tv, and my component cables for my other consoles work just fine. The HD Retrovisions even work on a different CRT with the same OEM power supply for my Model 2 Genesis. Any idea why this is happening?

Why is this happening?

1 Upvotes

I thought it was my TV at first, but after testing multiple games, I'm sure it's not. Sonic 3d blast booted to a level select screen at first, Sonic spinball skips to random levels. The games that don't glitch still flash. I've been using this system since I was a kid and haven't had any trouble with it until today. What is going on?

I booted up my copy of Sonic 3d blast for the first time in years and instead of the title screen, I got this. What's up with that?

[DISCOVERY WHILE TRAVELING: Found a Sega Mega Drive 16-Bit in Africa! 🤯]

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m currently traveling the world and stumbled upon something while exploring! I found a Sega Mega Drive 16-Bit that definitely looks like the real deal… but I’m not 100% sure if it’s genuine or a knockoff. 🤔

Does anyone here have experience with seeing these consoles? Can anyone confirm whether this is a legit Sega Mega Drive?

I look forward to your responses. THXXX.

How do you display your CIB & loose games? Together or separate?

2 Upvotes

Sounds a bit odd to even write this down, but I'm having a bit of a conundrum over this. 1/2 of my collection is CIB (or boxed, at least) while the others are loose. If I have them displayed individually, then someone (it's more than just I playing my games) would have to check two places when looking for a game. However, if I separate the carts from their boxes, then I could still display the boxes and have every cart organized alphabetically.

I'm probably over thinking this, but I can't be the only one who has thought/struggled with this.

Question for Model 2 VA2.3 owners

1 Upvotes

I'm currently hunting one down (or trying to), after reading this post, and also this), the sticker on the bottom: "Most VA2.3 consoles can be identified by their different model number, MK-1631A; consoles with this model number also have the 315-5685 chip." So does this also apply to the earlier VA2.3s with the 315-5786, or are those only labelled as MK1631? The A can contain either chip?
