Did I mention the drive is single speed, that means seeks were 800ms, and transfer was ~ 150k/sec… so horrible!!!

FMV video was almost out of the question, although going thru the stack of CD’s I got with it, the power rangers (ugh) actually pulled it off.. Well about as well as a 12Mhz 68000 could.

I had the first version of Sega Mega Drive (I guess they only called it ‘genesis’ in America) with oldschool cartridges. I kicked butt.
Played around with some emulators, a while back, as well as NES and SNES ones… sigh it’s just not the same..
