You had a flatscreen HDTV in 1991? Damn, found the time traveler! 😉

Your sega will probably just keep doin this forever. I don’t then systems of this generation will ever not work (as long are you aren’t a neanderthal… But even then, maybe it will)

Thirty years ago my grandmother was carrying my 1987 nes down some stairs and her sock caught on a nail. She fell down the stairs, broke her hip, two fingers, a toe, shattered her left arm in 9 places around the elbow, suffered a concussion, and was in icu for two weeks, plus a trip later 500 miles north to the Mayo Clinic to get an extensive nuts bolts and plates surgery to save her arm from being amputated.
The NES survived unbroken and still works to this day. Tecmo Super Bowl is still the best football game.

That’s a fuckin story right there. Both your grandma and the nes are survivors.

I bought a mega drive a couple of years ago and it definitely takes a few attempts to load some of the games!
citrusface@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Clean or replace your pin slot in the console and clean the contacts on your game. That should fix that.

Now you just need a model one Sega genesis SCART cable with inline audio to plug into the headphone jack and an OSSC to perfectly multiply the scan lines up to HD resolutions! Oh and also to set your HDTV into its gaming mode to reduce input lag.

Still got my Mega Drive too. It’s sat in the loft though.

I always wanted a Genesis as a kid, but then when I made a friend who had one, I ended up not really liking most of the games iconic to the platform. I really only remember 2 games fondly:
Ecco the Dolphin and Eternal Champions. And yeah, I played Sonic and Mortal Kombat and a lot of other hits.
Alenalda@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I never heard of anyone having fond memories of ecco the dolphin.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 months ago
It was so different. Especially once the aliens get involved.
Iunnrais@lemm.ee 9 months ago
I have fond memories of it too. Granted, those memories involved being utterly confused as to how to proceed, but also being utterly astonished by the graphics. I distinctly remember it being basically photorealistic to my 9 year old self— going back to play it with an emulator was a bit of a shock (and letdown) compared to my memories of it.
I did beat it as an adult. As a kid I may lot have been able to get anywhere, but it was magical all the same.

My wife does.
But she also loves dolphins so could be a bias
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 9 months ago
Really? That game was awesome and looked fantastic for its time. It was kinda hard, but not like The Lion King hard.

Sonic 2 was my first game ever. It blew my 6 yr old brain…

I have the same setup, genesis brothers unite!
mesamunefire@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Nice! That’s an older system. Fun times.
HexagonSun@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
It’s an older system sir, but it checks out
Desistance@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Wish my genesis still functioned. It needs repair.
VanHalbgott@lemmus.org 9 months ago
Have you tried opening your system and inspecting the components of it?
MudMan@kbin.social 9 months ago
Wait, is that stretched to 16:9? I may have to rescind my upvote.
But also... cool.

I found an old TV on Craigslist for $10 for my Genesis.

Damn, here I am sitting in front of a gaming PC with 4k monitors and I am legitimately jealous of your setup right now. Emulated 8 bit and 16 bit games look like crap on modern screens thanks to the upscaling and what not.
MudMan@kbin.social 9 months ago
Man, that's a museum piece at this point. It's what, mid-80s? If it looks bright, stable and clean without any maintenance that's... increasingly rare.
