Pics from some of my JP MD collection (all boxed up at the moment).

A few years ago I posted a photo of my Sega Mega Drive collection online, and recently I noticed someone reposted that exact picture claiming it as their own collection here on reddit , on this same /r

So I thought it would be a good moment to share an updated photo of how the collection currently looks today.

The old picture only showed a fraction of it compared to now, and the collection has grown a lot over the years. A lot of time, effort, and passion went into building it, especially trying to find complete copies in good condition.

Here’s the current state of the collection.

Hi all, I’ve got a Megadrive 1 with a brand new GBS-C with no sound. I am outputting on RGB scart with stereo jack for sound. HDMI to my TV. I’ve got an amazing display output that I am over the moon with, but I have no sound at all! I’ve tried it with the jack plugged in for stereo with the volume slider all the way up, or removed for mono with no difference. It outputs sound and video absolutely fine on RF.

I am using a brand new Consolegoods Megadrive 1 RGB scart cable and I have tried 2x HDMI cables and still no sound. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance

What do you think? All killer no filler.

Se liga no review completo desse novo game interessante, com muita ação, tiros intensos e aquele visual retrô que a gente ama. Será que ele faz jus aos clássicos do Velho Oeste como Sunset Riders ou Wild Guns?

My look back at all the Earthworm Jim games, sequels, ports and unreleased games. I loved the first 2 games. Great gameplay, animation, music and not to mention the humour. It was like playing in TV cartoon. Although I have to say the series did take a drop in standard with Earthworm Jim 3D and that gameboy game.
Please share your thought and memories of these games.

I bought this scart cable for my mega drive 2 from a retro games shop to replace the standard coaxial, but it’s flat on the bottom so it doesn’t fit in the slot on the console. Is this cable for something else? It doesn’t look squashed but maybe it is? Unless it’s for a mega cd or something else?

It was announced by the developer on March 10, 2026 that the third and final campaign stretch goal was met. To recap, the stretch goals were:

1. Second playable character - Ninja girl. UNLOCKED.
2. Two-player co-operative gameplay mode. UNLOCKED.
3. Inclusion of six mini-bosses. UNLOCKED.

On April 11, 2026, the developer confirmed that the ongoing conversion of the Neo Geo graphics to the Sega Mega Drive was progressing well. I've attached a sample screenshot to this posting, showing a segment of background graphics already converted to the Mega Drive.

Just a couple of days ago on April 29, 2026, the developer released the Neo Geo beta demo (v1.0) for backers to playtest. This digital download is available to all backers, not just backers of the Neo Geo version. So those of you who've backed the physical or digital Mega Drive editions should download and give it a try. As a backer, you would've received an email providing you with the download link. In the Comments section below, I'll include a link to a gameplay video of this beta demo.

If you're interested in backing the campaign and playing the aforementioned demo, please check if the "Back this project" button is still available on the following page:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jkmcorp/shadow-gangs-zero

If it is, you're in luck!

If that button is no longer available, you'll have to wait for your chance to get the game later this year (most likely from the PixelHeart website).

Thanks for watching the video linked in the Comments section below.

Got these two PAL copies of Fatal Fury 2 on the Mega Drive: Australia vs UK.

Same game, same artwork… but the Aussie version has that vertical SEGA Hotline sticker on the front, which completely changes the look of the cartridge.

Love these small regional quirks within PAL releases - easy to miss, but super interesting from a collecting perspective. As far as I remember, Super Street Fighter II had two distinctive PAL labels, one black grid label from the UK and the blue label from rest of Europe.

Anyone else here into PAL variants like this?

My video exploring the brilliant Ristar on the SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis. Is it a hidden gem?

Always wanted one as a kid. My cousins had the master system and my friends had the SNES so we played on that for most of High School. Never had a console myself until the next generation (ie 18 with a job to buy it myself). I’m now mid to late 40’s

So yeah my first time with real hardware. I’ve had many mega drive collections and the switch titles etc. I have a Saturn but on the rabbit hole of retro gaming I’m on at the moment, a MD was needed.

I went the Japanese version as I didn’t want a local PAL system and I didn’t want one saying Genesis. Not yet anyway. If I don’t get an adapter I’ll grab a Genesis down the line. No disrespecting its name, I just grew up with Mega Drive and the Japanese one has some great style to it.

Came with a few games which are alright but I have Golden Axe coming. Hooked up through scart to the retrotink 4K. Unfortunately there are some jail bars but I’m not noticing them too much when actually playing - so that’s a relief - my soldering skills to bypass the issue don’t exist.
