I’m pretty sure the last Genesis game I bought was Greendog. Before that, I believe it was Global Gladiators.
Also, the Genesis Mini, does that count? It’s pretty cool.

Nice collection, Crazy. I only collect PAL Mega Drive, Mega CD and Saturn titles, and nowadays it is indeed an expensive hobby! I still try to treat myself to a couple of new games every month though.
Sure the Mini counts. It's Sega related, and that little guy is legit. I really like it. I did the Mod My Classic mod on it, and it runs really well. I've had zero issues, and I'm really happy to use it as a travel Genesis. In fact, playing some games on there that I didn't have access to in the past made me buy actual carts, so that was nice.Quote:

That will be probably the last thing I grab for it. Maybe another Retrobit wired 6-button controller.
Thanks, buddy. Most of the CD games I bought when stuff was still cheap, for example Snatcher was £55, Keio £30 (!) and Cobra: Space Adventure was £70. Would cost well over a grand to buy those three now.Quote:

I don’t mind PAL CD games though as most of those play okay at 60Hz and the double jewel cases are much better than the US long boxes.
Ah yes the old 50Hz-60Hz issue. I grew up playing PAL games running at 50Hz so they feel perfectly normal to me. It's weird because when I sometimes play classic Mega Drive titles in 60Hz they don't feel or sound right to me. I'm like, "Urgh the music has been speeded up." lol! I guess it's just what you're used to.Quote:

I’m definitely a 60Hz fanboy now, a total convert.Quote:

Ok I guess I'll bump this thread by adding some recent hauls I've grabbed (2-3 months). I'm not sure if they're all Sega related or even retro related, but in an effort to avoid constant high prices for classic games I'm trying to get ahead of the curve by collecting some PS3, PS4, and even Xbox games.
My latest batch--
PS3: Saw, Saw 2, God of War Origins Collection, Dante's Inferno, MGS V: Phantom Pain and Ground Zeroes.
Vita: Import Orange Vita system, Silent Hill Origins
Xbox: The Thing, XMen Legends
Sega Genesis/ Mega Drive: King Colossus, Golden Axe 2 and 3, Sonic 1, 2, 3, and finally Paprium.
32x: Console, MetalHead and Star Wars Arcade
Nice, lots of cool stuff you guys are finding. My recent pick ups for the Genesis are:
Dragon the Bruce Lee Story
Gadget Twins
Uncharted Waters II: New Horizons
Dune II Battle for Arrakis
I'm trying to finish up my Genesis collection, and am about 30 games away, with only a couple heavy hitters in there. (I never picked up Punisher and Crusader of Centy, but that's okay. I. Pretty happy that I have the games I have.)
Now my focus will be to get some little sleaves for my loose carts, and find a nice way to store them.

I'm lucky enough to have complete copies of both games, but that's only because I got them several years ago before price gauging. While I love both games tremendously I cannot recommend either of them for their current asking prices unless you're absolutely going for a complete Genesis set. Strangely enough I was streaming a playthrough of Centy over the weekend and will try to finish it up this weekend. It's a total shame that it never got more recognition or even a proper sequel because it's a great game IMO.
I passed up complete copies of Crusader of Centy in shops twice back in the day. Once for 50 and once for 60. We're talking around 2010-12. At the time, I feel like it was already about a 100 dollar game on ebay because I knew the price was good when I saw it in the store. But I couldn't bring myself to just buy a game for the sake of collecting. I didn't ever foresee myself wanting to play a glitchy Zelda ripoff, so I left it. In retrospect, I feel like I made the right decision. I probably used that 50 bucks for something more useful at the time like beer or tacos.
I don't own the games anymore and these days play on emulator.

I'd love to have a copy of Keio Flying Squadron or translation of Surging Aura, but I don't even have room for dust on my shelves anymore:
