All these wee slip ups made Sega seem more human rather than a big faceless corporation. It’s one of the things that has made me a bit of a Sega fanboy.

That's the SEGA style, all seat of your pants stuff and why I loved them. SEGA just went for it; like the logo on the staff, T-shirts used to say. 'It may not work, but what the hell'

Though in general, all consoles pre-CD are more robust than those that came after; CD consoles have moving parts, with motors that spin at high speeds. A SNES is pretty robust because it has no moving components, no hard drive, not even an internal memory which could fail.

My original FZ-1 3DO from 1994 is still going strong. I guess the build quality is partly why it cost around $700 at launch.
Hopefully my Dreamcast will last for decades to come now that it has a GDEMU, but old capacitors will probably pop at some point. I have multiple machines in reserve.

I think the western Mega Drive Mini should have had a few more shoot 'em ups, such as Bio-Hazard Battle from Sega. It's such a great shooter that deserves more recognition.
One of the Lotus/Top Gear games would also have been nice, seeing arcade style racers are such a special part of that era of gaming. OutRun 2019 is also quite fun.Last edited by Leon Retro; 08-06-2019, 11:36.
