Scarlet Mega Drive

[Commie_User]

A real treat today as I found a Mega Drive with classic games at the charity shop. That plus Gamecube (with Sonic and Mario titles) plus classic 70s rock singles, all for £10.

They should actually have released a Sega with this colour scheme.

Deep red was all I had in the house but it worked a treat on the grubby, scuffed-up machine. The noisy Mega Drive 2 was never satisfactory for sampling and now I can hopefully go nuts. The amended AV cable will help do just that.

I've actually just remembered about the games. I'll have to play those tomorrow.

Now we'll have to call you "Captain Scarlet"...

I want one of these.

The red RetroN 3 is capable of playing Nintendo, SEGA Mega Drive and Super Nintendo cartridges all from one console!

Now that is impressive. I never thought even one would ever be re-released, never mind three. The Internet says they only cost £69 too.




But I'd rather have my retro wall. The sports car colour scheme sets off the Sega well. Not bad for the only choice.

Come to think of it, I was thinking of the Captain Scarlet TV theme as I painted.

It's the joy of doing it and building a fine music machine. A good working retirement for consoles which, by rights, should have ended up in a landfill years ago. That's where we all thought they'd be by now.

I haven't even touched the Gamecube yet. That could also do with some paint if I'll sample it.

(And to answer the popular question, yes it is fine to run headphone out to amp line in. Same with Ipods, Game Boys, personal CDs and other low impedance outputs.)
