@GregoryRasputin yes the playstation was originally a joint venture between Nintendo and Sony that went sour, and I am kind of glad that it did.

I have grew up on Nintendo. I got a NES at the age of 6, and a SNES at the age of 8 or 9.

@japsander yeah I agree with that whole KI thing. KI gold was not as good as SNES KI.

IMO SNES was the most memorable of all the consoles I have owned. We had Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy 6, (3 in regions outside of japan) and the list goes on. The thing about those days were good games sold themselves, it wasnt about graphics or console power, it was about how awesome the games were, and still to this day I find myself going back and playing some of the classics.

Remember the magazine ads for it too?

It's a bit awkward looking (and the CD door doesn't open all the way when it's connected), but it does work.

Sega CDX on Wikipedia

Originally Posted by Wikipedia Compatibility with Sega 32X Mainboard There is some confusion as to whether the Sega 32X add-on actually works with the Multi-Mega.

This was likely due to the Multi-Mega/32X combination never receiving U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval for use in the United States. Advertisements for the Mega Drive 32X in Europe, however, where it was often shown attached to a Multi-Mega, suggest otherwise. Despite the lack of Sega's approval, the 32X is compatible with the CDX if properly connected.

Anyone remember the Mega PC? I saw it on a gameshow hosted by Violet Berlin when I was a kid and I wanted one so bad!



EDIT: "Bad Influence" was the name of the show :P

Aaaaand the sega skorpion knockoff megadrive:

I thought the "Mega NET" that came with my CDX was bizarre, but this Mega PC won by far
