    I remember playing Mortal Kombat at my friends house on Saturday mornings on one of those. And of course we knew the blood kode.

      Weird, I remembered that it was the SNes which had green blood and needed a code. I have to investigate this.

        The Mega Drive had blood off by default and you turned it on with a code.

        The SNES had no blood, it was turned grey to try and look like “sweat” and the fatalities were modified to be less brutal looking.

    I’m ashamed, I thought it was an Atari Jaguar at first and then I saw the Sega logo.

    I just bought an emulator with 2 wireless controllers and 45000 games from various consoles between 1978 and 2008. Loving the megadrive section - Splatterhouse, Strider, NHL Ice Hockey 94, Micro Machines, ECCO, to name a few. Well worth 50 quid.

      Pretty good for the price! My main gaming machine is a $60 Anberbic handheld. I had to install a better OS and the tiny best set myself, and it struggles running Dreamcast and PSP games, but it actually feels good to play.

        What OS are you using? I was trying to use my Anbernic with wireless controllers, but the default OS keeps forgetting the mapping on the controllers every time I switch to a different game and it was impractical to have to keep remapping them over and over.

      It was almost an arcade machine inside. Try Chakan, James Pond, all the Sonics, Kid Chameleon, Road Rash, Desert Strike, and Sparkster (way better than the SNes version), Aladdin (same, better than the SNes), and Toe Jam and Earl 2, to name a few.

        There’s a chakan hack that makes it maybe the best version to play the game.

        The original is just frustratingly difficult to finish.

      That’s a Sega Genesis. Now excuse me, I have to take my back pill.

        Nah, that’s a PAL Mega Drive. It runs 16% slower than a Genesis and the graphics are vertically squished. They buried it so they could use the better NTSC models.

          Games for all of these PAL consoles only run 16% slower if programmers didn’t do jack shit to make them properly run. Probably most of them, but still.
