What memories do you fellows have of Sega, their war with Nintendo, the impending doom in the shape of Sony, and most importantly, the games?

Feel free to slag off recent Sonic games too.

I have a Genesis and a Dreamcast.

Dreamcast ftw.

I had a gamegear and then later I got a megadrive. Ive got great memories of Golden Axe and Streets Of Rage

I had a Master System, but I was a diehard Nintendo fan up until I got my first PC. Never had a Dreamcast, but apparently it was awesome on the scale of the golden age of SNES RPG's.

I've never been a Sonic fan. My favorite MS game was.. Golden Axe Legends I think it was called. It was a Zeldaesque ARPG.

I still have my Megadrive/Genesis, fantastic bit of kit.

Still own my Megadrive as well - don't have that many games for it, but it was the first games console that I owned.

I NEVER LOLed about it, but I owned a Game Gear that functioned up until the day I lost it in the move... LAST YEAR! I loved that thing, best money I ever spent on a portable game system until I got my laptop...

I had every system that Sega chose to put out, though the Dreamcast was far and away my favorite. Sigh...I loved the Dreamcast so...

Genesis and Game Gear. Definitely lots of fond memories. Genesis was the first console I bought with my own money; got it with a Streets of Rage 2 package. And now, I feel I've aged myself far too much.

I bought a used dreamcast a few months ago with the intention of burning a bunch of games and playing them.

It's in my closet. I haven't touched it.

I had a Game Gear, I loved Sonic on it. I got some other shit game then, cant rember the name, it was an r-type clone, execpt that your ship had the wings of a bird and you had to shoot or eat burgers. It killed the Game Gear for me.

it wont let me select mor ethan one :(. i had a master system, mega drive and a dreamcast. i have very fond memories of all. and i still think ChuChu rocket is one of the best games ever made!!!

I had a Game Gear, the Genesis, and the Sega CD.

The Sega CD was... a less than wise purchase.

Actually, of the three, the Game Gear was the best money spent.

Megadrive and a Master System II...those were the days...

Megadrive was my first console. Still remember opening it on a Christmas morning all those years ago, can't remember how old I was though. It had so many good games but the two I loved the most were Flashback and Story of Thor.

Shit. It wasn't my first console, I had an Atari before that. Ohh well, it's kinda the first console I owned myself.

I have a Genesis, Dreamcast and (abandoned in a box somewhere) a Gamegear.

Ahh, I remember the good ol' days... booting up Sonic and hearing that delightful "Segaaaa~".

Had a Game Gear, and I still think it beats the shit out of Game Boys
Had a Saturn too
...And I'm playing on my Dreamcast right now (GTA2 woo!)

(100)

Woot! One of the only two to have owned a Master System

I had a Genesis and the only game I can recall owning for it beyond the first Sonic game (honestly, how didn't own the first Sonic game?) I'm ashamed to even admit. Awesome Possom (kicks Dr. Machino's Butt). That's what happens when you're too young to actually buy your own games and mommy picks things out for you.

I had a Sega Genesis and a Game Gear and loved them both. Not just for Sonic, but for the NFL Madden football games(talking 93-94 when it was new and fun.) There was a few other games I absolutely loved, both platformers, but I can't remember the names of either one of them. Help me out if you know them.

One of them involved a pair of twin boys who wielded both swords and magic to fight some evil clown thing, and you got to choose which one you played as, with each one better at a certain thing than the other.

The other was about this mummy thing who apparently had eyes in his midsection and that's all I can really remember about it.

I hated how the GG was a battery vacuum. That was taken care of when I got an adapter, though.

Gosh, I miss my Sega systems... *sighs wistfully* (Still have the Game Gear, but no longer the adapter.)

I never actually owned any sega system, but my cousins did. We would play sonic on Gamegear which I think that was the only game really necessary for the handheld. Both of my cousins had Dreamcast. We played House of the Dead a shit load, crazy taxi, some crazy ass robot game where you fight each other, and Shenmue. Oh and Genesis was pretty crazy at the time. Ren & Stimpy, X-Men, Batman, Jurassic park..

I was given a Sega CD but it was missing a cord so i forgot about it.

I think I had all of them except Game Gear. Hardcore, me thinks.

lets see here, Commodore 64, Atari, and a Tandy 1000. (aww no, my age is showin) now listen here, when I was your age... lol

+ sega, sega cd, nes, snes, dreamcast, ps1, ps2, and thats about all for the consoles.

oh yea, a 1987 MAC computer that has about 200 mhz processor lol

I still got a Megadrive. Streets of Rage 1 for a challenge and Streets of Rage 2 for a walk in the park. Love 'em both. Also, Sonic 2 attached to Sonic and Knuckles so you can play Knuckles through Sonic 2. Friggin' love that.

I still remember the level code for Sonic 1... Up, Down, Left, Right, A, Start (just in case any of you wanna try it)

I love the Sega systems. Fist console I ever got was a Megadrive and I loved it. To this day I still love it. Last year I found a Megadrive selling at a car boot sale for £7 and I jumped to the offer. I allso still own my dreamcast. It is a console that has a good range of cheep and fun games to play.

I owned a Genesis and only had a few games for it. I remember playing Columns (a Tetris/Dr. Mario typish of a game I guess), and being extremely good at it and the original Sonic The Hedgehog games. I also remember selling it at garage sale when I was really young to make money to buy Pokemon Red...It's the only machine I've ever sold and regret doing it.

-EDIT-

Actually I've been informed the Genesis and all the games were bought for a house of poor kids or something like that. So now I don't regret it as much. At least I know that some kids that were less fortunate got to enjoy it as much as or even more than me.

I think I remember my brothers having a Genesis. I do remember I owned a Game Gear and Dreamcast though. I miss my Dreamcast.......

I was a serious SNES fanboy, and did everything I could to prevent people from buying the Genesis, it's myriad peripherals, and the Game Gear. I skipped out on the Saturn debacle and finally fell hard for the Dreamcast and a little game called Soul Calibur.

I had a master system, a mega drive and a dreamcast. not sure where the master system is but still got the mega drive and the dreamcast. xD

You forgot to mention the SegaCD and 32X... and then, with their powers combined.. Sega CDX

I almost forgot to mention this. Does the fact that I had the Master System Converter for the Genesis count as having maybe half a Master System?

Genesssiiss! I miss it so. I regret selling/pitching/whatever happened to my Genesis. The only time I enjoyed a football was on the Genesis. Golden Axe was amazing, Sonic was still fun, and I also had a bunch of learning games for my age too! I remember having Richard Scarry's Busy Town and The Bernstein Bears. Yeesss..

I remember my cousin having the Sega hand held, what was it called? Anywho, we always fought over it.. More than the Game Boy at the time too.

oh man, this brings back memories. i used to have a sega saturn back aqbout 10 years ago, and i loved it. it had so many great and original games for it, nights into dreams, panzer dragoon, just to name a few. sadly my parents sold it at a garage sale for 20$ along with all the games. i was very angry, as i never said i wanted it sold, they just assumed and took it out of my room. it would probably be owrth a lot more than 20$ today. lpus i had a very rare game for it called mr. bones, in near mint condition. i saw on g4 that mr. bones was one of the rarest console games, and would be worth quite a bit of moolah today. sigh*

I'd just go with Nintendo stuff. Sorry Sonic.

Its the same with me and Panzer Dragoon Saga, which can go for anything between £50 and £100. AAAHHHHHHHH!
