Poll: Sega; did you own one?

[jebussaves88]

What memories do you fellows have of Sega, their war with Nintendo, the impending doom in the shape of Sony, and most importantly, the games?

Feel free to slag off recent Sonic games too.

 

[Shadow Tyrant]

I have a Genesis and a Dreamcast.

Dreamcast ftw.

 

[Nozer]

I had a gamegear and then later I got a megadrive. Ive got great memories of Golden Axe and Streets Of Rage

 

[poleboy]

I had a Master System, but I was a diehard Nintendo fan up until I got my first PC. Never had a Dreamcast, but apparently it was awesome on the scale of the golden age of SNES RPG's.

I've never been a Sonic fan. My favorite MS game was.. Golden Axe Legends I think it was called. It was a Zeldaesque ARPG.

 

[Susan Arendt]

I had every system that Sega chose to put out, though the Dreamcast was far and away my favorite. Sigh...I loved the Dreamcast so...

 

[brabz]

Genesis and Game Gear. Definitely lots of fond memories. Genesis was the first console I bought with my own money; got it with a Streets of Rage 2 package. And now, I feel I've aged myself far too much.

 

[varulfic]

I bought a used dreamcast a few months ago with the intention of burning a bunch of games and playing them.

It's in my closet. I haven't touched it.

 

[HerrBobo]

I had a Game Gear, I loved Sonic on it. I got some other shit game then, cant rember the name, it was an r-type clone, execpt that your ship had the wings of a bird and you had to shoot or eat burgers. It killed the Game Gear for me.

 

[Moochkin]

it wont let me select mor ethan one . i had a master system, mega drive and a dreamcast. i have very fond memories of all. and i still think ChuChu rocket is one of the best games ever made!!!

 

[tiredinnuendo]

I had a Game Gear, the Genesis, and the Sega CD.

The Sega CD was... a less than wise purchase.

Actually, of the three, the Game Gear was the best money spent.

Megadrive and a Master System II...those were the days...

 

[JayCro]

Megadrive was my first console. Still remember opening it on a Christmas morning all those years ago, can't remember how old I was though. It had so many good games but the two I loved the most were Flashback and Story of Thor.

Shit. It wasn't my first console, I had an Atari before that. Ohh well, it's kinda the first console I owned myself.

 

[HSIAMetalKing]

I have a Genesis, Dreamcast and (abandoned in a box somewhere) a Gamegear.

Ahh, I remember the good ol' days... booting up Sonic and hearing that delightful "Segaaaa~".

 

[Some_Jackass]

Had a Game Gear, and I still think it beats the shit out of Game Boys
Had a Saturn too
...And I'm playing on my Dreamcast right now (GTA2 woo!)

[sirdiealot88]

Woot! One of the only two to have owned a Master System

 

[Orlana]

I had a Genesis and the only game I can recall owning for it beyond the first Sonic game (honestly, how didn't own the first Sonic game?) I'm ashamed to even admit. Awesome Possom (kicks Dr. Machino's Butt). That's what happens when you're too young to actually buy your own games and mommy picks things out for you.

 

[TheTakenOne]

I had a Sega Genesis and a Game Gear and loved them both. Not just for Sonic, but for the NFL Madden football games(talking 93-94 when it was new and fun.) There was a few other games I absolutely loved, both platformers, but I can't remember the names of either one of them. Help me out if you know them.

One of them involved a pair of twin boys who wielded both swords and magic to fight some evil clown thing, and you got to choose which one you played as, with each one better at a certain thing than the other.

The other was about this mummy thing who apparently had eyes in his midsection and that's all I can really remember about it.

I hated how the GG was a battery vacuum. That was taken care of when I got an adapter, though.

Gosh, I miss my Sega systems... *sighs wistfully* (Still have the Game Gear, but no longer the adapter.)
