SEGA Mega Drive - Good games + Questions?
« on: November 03, 2013, 07:10:24 PM »
So, I recently got a Virtua Racing japanese cart in a NintendoAge raffle which came with some famicom games, and since it would be stupid to grab a cart just because it's free and let it grab dust somewhere, I bought a cheap Mega Drive model 1 which will arrive this week.

1. Point me to some great games!

2. The Mega Drive is a VA6 (315-5433), which has "faulty TMSS" according to a wiki which I don't have the link anymore. Am I screwed or I shouldn't mind so much? Will I be able to use an everdrive normally on it?

3. The seller said that there is some buzzing/noise on the headphone jack (but it's normal on the AV cable), is that easily fixable (ie change a couple of capacitors)? If not I won't mind much.

4. What are the correct specs (amperage,etc.) of the power source that I should buy to use with the console?

5. Is it possible to play US/euro games on it?

Thanks.

???  MD Undeadline is great.  Sure just one character, but PAL Soft redid the game around him.  They also removed the random bullshit of the other two versions.  It's a pure skill based game now.

It's such a fun game!  I am also a sucker for GameArts stuff though, and the animation for it was done by Gainex.
