2014 MGC Haul. Thanks to Nectarsis for Override and Atomic Robo Kid. Not pictured Final Fantasy II from Bartre. Thanks brother! Sorry for the blurry pics. The majority of these I have been after for years. I've just been biding my time and being patient.

Quoted for truth.

Is that a Dragon Knight VHS tape?

[nectarsis]

Is that a Dragon Knight VHS tape?

Yep, nabbed it from a vendor with usually ridiculous prices so I was happy when it was only $1 lol

That's so rad.   Gonna try and find it online, let me know if the animation is any good.

I hate how the new forum messes up pics! It's so much harder to look at.  Is there anyway we can get this issue fixed?

Heh, you're hilarious.

A quick note on that Mega Drive. It looks like it has never been used. I haven't ever seen an old console look so untouched. It's flawless! I think the Japanese version of the MD looks the most esthetically pleasing. So sexy!

[PunkCryborg]

Matt I'm very jealous of that boxed mega drive! I need one to compliment my boxed JP SMS. Of the games you got Elemental Master is one of the best, that game is a blast!

EM is so awesome! This is the first time I have gotten a chance to play it as I try to avoid emulation if at all possible. Great soundtrack too. But, hey, it's Techno Soft!

[PCEngineHell]

I gather the Mega Drive suffered revisions with crippled audio circuitry also, no? I have only owned one in my lifetime and it was a early model 1, so this is something I have wondered about but never had a chance to look in to for lack of buying any others.

I asked the seller if he knew anything about that but all he said was to Google it. I took a chance and as this one a pretty early model and was just so damn sexy I couldn't pass it up.

MGC 2014 Haul. My goal this year was to go light on the purchases, since Elevator Action Returns is all I was really looking for. I had Carlson hold it for me, then I came back drunk during the Saturday night party, and here's what that turned into:






-Gradius and Magicoal from Nectarsis (thanks man!)
-Megadrive 2 + Bonus Sonic & Knuckles from Chris @ Windy Gaming
-Alien Soldier/Elevator Action Returns from Carlson

Yeah I'm just too paranoid to take a chance on one these days. Most sellers I have asked simply have no idea how to check since it wouldn't be as obvious as it is over here in telling the Genesis Model 1 revisions apart. Anyway, they do look damn cool though in or out of the box, so if you got it at a good price then good for you. I forgot if I sold or traded mine off. Its been a quite a few years at least.

Elevator Action + Alien Soldier = Awesome

Elevator Action + Alien Soldier = Awesome

this - amazing haul but these really stand out, love them both!

[bartre]

Elevator Action + Alien Soldier = broke ass hoes

I might just use my newly acquired Mega Everdrive for Alien Soldier. Snatcher is one of the few games I'd pay big (read: stupid) money for.

Is there any differences between the arcade Elevator Action Returns and the Saturn version?

[jeffhlewis]

fixed.

No hoes came with the purchase unfortunately.

To my knowledge the board revisions in the JP Meg Drives should be the same as the US Genesis. So a VA2 Mega Drive will sound the same as a VA2 Genesis. It will also have the same crippled pre-amp and only output the LEFT channel through the mono outputs instead of summing both left and right. A VA6 or 7 (I forget which is the final revision of the model 1) should sound just as broken as the US version.

How can I tell which revision MD is mine?

[InfraMan]

finally got my hands on one of these without giving away an arm and a leg too

If it wasn't for superdeadite's videos, I wouldn't even know what this game was.

I actually would want to play it. I can't say that about a lot of games.

Ha ha, awesome... it's good to know I'm not the only person in the world who loves this game. Pepsiman!!!

How can I tell which revision MD is mine?

You need to open it up to be sure. But here is a nice guide:
http://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthread.php?7796-GUIDE-Telling-apart-good-Genesis-1s-and-Genesis-2s-from-bad-ones

If it boots straight to the game (without the licensed by Sega nonsense) then you're good. But even units with that screen can still be good.

For JP Mega Drives, look at the SEGA logo on the bottom right corner of the console (it's right next to MEGA DRIVE). Does it have an ® after the A in SEGA?

Motherboard revisions:

-With an ® next to the Sega logo: VA0, VA1, VA2, VA3, VA4
-Without an ® next to the Sega logo: VA5

Bottom line, either way you should be good as long as it says AV Intelligent Terminal/High Grade Multipurpose Use. If it doesn't, it can still be good just as long as it's not a VA7 (the last version that comes in that shape).

Looks like yours is the SEGA® model so you're definitely good!

You ROCK for fitting the image to the width of the thread. And congrats on the pickups.

Bonus Sonic & Knuckles from Chris @ Windy Gaming

What ver. of Sernic + Knux is that, the cover almost looks shiny?

PAL version maybe? Could be the Japanese MD version too, I guess. I should've checked. During tear-down at MGC we all raided Jeff's bag to see what he scored.

[wildfruit]

Its Japanese version pal version looks the same but mega drive is in a different font

[ApolloBoy]

Its Japanese version

Not really, it's the Asian release.

[wildfruit]

Ah ok
