    I've lost out on two of them on eBay in the last few days. Next payday, I swear I'm going to wait until one pops up, and stick a bid in that will NEVER be overtaken.

    I've never played a 32X or Mega CD game, so I'm looking forward to having the chance. I have over 300 Genesis / Mega Drive titles, and my poor clapped out Japanese Genesis is on its last legs, so it's time to get a bit of kit worthy to stuff the carts in.

    Then after that: The Neo Geo (and I am willing to pay handsomely for one of those).

    From what I recall the 32x doesn't work with the MultiMega. :(

    I'm pretty certain from the models I've seen on eBay, the cart-port takes both Genesis & 32X carts.

    Why not just emulate it on your computer? If you already have all the original games, then it shouldn't be a problem, even legally.

    You don't get the same feel. There's something more special about having the actual hardware / carts / discs that makes the experience more retro, IMO.

    Been there & done that with Streets of Rage for example. Shoving a Mega Drive pad into the PC with an adaptor & emulating it, is nothing like having it running through the TV with original Mega Drive humming away.

    I concur. I hate playing emulators, they are just never the same. :(

    The only one I'll play is River City Ransom, because I don't have an original Nintendo anymore.
