Interesting, I've got their Sensi book and it's a nice thing to have. But I'm still waiting for this book so I suspect there might be a lot of overlap between this and that - and to be honest the MD is not my favourite Sega console.
It was a good system although technically the SNES out-performed it in almost every respect. I still own both and i'm drowning in cartridges, dont think i'll be getting the book though.
I had my Megadrive before my SNES. Got my SNES on US import, the blocky version with purple buttons, and was loving it for months before was launched over here
I remember the end boss on Mario World with the zooming/spinning effects being something new and pretty impressive ... was that really something new when that came out or was it just something I'd not noticed before when I was a young lad?
Just remember thinking it was amazing graphics and effects

But I had so many wonderful years with my Megadrive, so many great classics owned on it. That was when shopping for games was a fun thing for me too, back then we had a local independent games shop which was a nice little hang out for us school kids and chance to see new games, also another little shop which used to get all the imports in, where I got my UK/JAP adapter and Jap games like Strider, Valis 3, Magical Hat Flying Turbo Adventure... gone are the days. Happy memories though
BTW I see in shops other week the new Retro Gamer bookazine, which is another of those 2-in-1 styles [read from both ends], with the 16-bit classics.
SNES and Megadrive.
Articles are from previous Retro Gamer mags but still a nice little bookazine to have.
Yes, I would support that especially for the Atari ST. I always liked the business + game approach of the Atari ST.
Monochrome high resolution monitor for serious DTP / word processing stuff, Cubase etc, but still being able to play the most popular games if you connected the ST to a TV or colour monitor.
It would make a very nice story. Would love to read some interviews with key players in that period and explain the decisions they made and what they were expecting.
The Megadrive/SNES one is about half the thickness of that render though... Picked it up today. Still pretty decent from the quick scan I've given it so far
