16 bit goodness. Why do I have two of each? The Mega Drives are NTSC and PAL. As for the Super Famicoms, I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ I just do.

@gpowerf These machines are "peak retro" for me! Such strong nostalgia around these machines. I owned and loved the SNES, but always wanted a Megadrive to sit alongside it so that I could play Sonic and (of all things) Moonwalker!

@gpowerf I'm trying to remember/guess: is the PAL Megadrive the one with the purple slot and blue button? :)

@gpowerf D'oh!! I probably got confused because those are Megadrive 2's, while friends of mine had the first model (I never had one, my last videogame console was the Colecovision :( )

@JJFlash I would have loved a Colecovision! I had a 2600 at the time.

@gpowerf We had an Atari 2600 (bought used), then an Intellivision (bought new!) and then a Colecovision (bought used as well).
The Coleco was the best of the three, at least in my opinion :) Some great arcade conversions (Berzerk and Time Pilot come to mind), and the Smurfs game!

But the other two consoles have their charms too!

@JJFlash I do remember the Colecovision having the best graphics of all three :)
