Official Sega Genesis/mega Drive Thread

[TRshady]

With all these official threads coming up of different subject I'd thought I'd make one where we can talk about anything to do with the sega genesis aka Megadrive:

What was your favourite game?
Was it the best console?
Do you still play it?

My favourtie game at the time was probably dungeons & dragons.

[monkeyhead]

i hav a mgadrive

[emir]

i had a megadrive 5 jears ago my favorite game was aladin that's the only one i have still in my head

[TRshady]

lol, I still play my roms from time to time to. Alladin was one of the later games so the graphics were quite good. Anyone use to play streets of rage?

[v_Virus_v]

I did :"> and Alladin

[TRshady]

Even now, I still think sega megadrive is the best console ever made. Then again, having that console and playing all the time for about eight years is bound to have an effect on you.

I prefered jungle book to alladin, toy story was also good, hard though. I can''t remember if I completed it or not. So no one here has even heard of dungeons & dragons?

[callum]

My dad gave my megadrive and 5 games away a couple of months ago for nothing and my atari 2600. I don't know what he was thinking.

[candyman]

I had micro machines 2 (u know the one with the extra ports in the cart)
That console is still wired up to my tv after about 13 years
Road Rash was an amazing game too

[SeK612]

Streets of rage (1,2,3)

Toe Jam and Earl (1,2)

Sonic (All)

James Pond (1,2,3)

Gunstar

I never had a Mega Drive (I had a 64 though and have now moved on a a PS2 :) ) although I used to play on a mates. I've found alot of Roms though and since they work fine play them quite lot.

lol, I gave my sega away years ago. But missed it so bad soon after. That was before I discovered roms though :D , Road rash was real good. I suppose my faves are all the one's available on my site.

I've never played toejam & earl but after hearing it being mentioned everywhere I might start playing it.

[callum]

Did toejam & earl have an extremly large and strange looking lightgun you could play it with.

[emir]

jeah sonic was cool

[ooo]

[ooo]

ummm in noe what they do... they reload your homepage that you submitted in the beginning when you made an account... well if you want you can just make a new bravenet account.... and make sure you only put that portion of the homepage in....

[TRshady]

Wow, your site is getting good soul, love the roms.

Slowly people are gonna realise yours has more to offer and I will slowly banish with my crumbling sega roms wasting away :'(

edit: damn, my sites been taken down.

[ooo]

naw... urs has info... mine doesnt :P n u got alot more stuff... like windows tips and stuff :P

ummm try making style sheets (.css)

thatz how u change the link colors, scroll bar color + stuff...

[TRshady]

I really wanna get rid of the scrollbar on the left.

I made this (http://www.geocities.com/trshadysworld/navbar.swf) but when added to my site (with dreamweaver) but it opens the link in the whole not just the left frame.

Sorry to other users for not staying on topic. So Toejam & earl was popular at the time?
I never used to see any media so the only games I got was when my dad went out and got me one from a boot sale.

edit: damn, forgot you can't see any part of my site at the mo.

[ooo]

yea i noe... mine doesnt tho since i made an additional IE frame inside... the page... well if ur using non flash (FRAME) you can get rid of the scroll bar easily...

aww ur site was exceeded... u noe u should make multiple accounts so it doesnt over excceed quickly...

webpages --> one area...

dls --> another

pics --> link else where if there large

music --> link else where...

thatz how i do it... my site rarely exceeds limit since each page is realli small and my flashes are like 100kb each...

[ooo]

i cant check if u uploaded shining force yet since ur site is down or i would dl it...

seriously upload the roms to another geocities account

all my roms are from another account

gba --&#62; soulzrom_1 <-- increase number for each account
snes --&#62; soulz_snes1
nes --&#62; soulz_nes1
sega --&#62; soulz_gen1

[TRshady]

oh, I see. But then it means other people can use your direct links, anyway of stopping this?

I&#39;ll make another account now and will give you the links for the roms.

edit: It&#39;s up again. that was quick :)

[ooo]

no there isnt any way of stoppign them from linkin to u... the onli way is to buy your own homepage... :(

[TRshady]

Oh well, thanks for the tip by the way. I&#39;ve done it with shining force, gonna move over my other files.
It&#39;s great coz it means the site won&#39;t come down, only the links for roms. :)

[ooo]

kk... umm i noticed ur links have border on it

("")

kill the border by adding a border=0 in the <img> tag

ur starlight.swf didnt work :(

[TRshady]

yeah, it was actually navbar.swf. but I just corrected it and it still dont work :(

oh and thanks, I&#39;ve been looking around for how to remove &#39;em.

edit: Thank you very much soul&#33;, I moved the poll onto my homepage, removed the border for each link and no more scrollbar. :) Thanks again.

[ooo]

ah nice flash.... ummm

herez the code for an ie in the middle

<iframe src=WHATEVER.htm name="THIS IS WHERE THE TARGET GOES" height=GIVE NUMBER width=GIVE NUMBER></iframe>

u can add extra stuff to this... just search the web on html about iframes

[TRshady]

Cheers for that soul, I think my site looks better now :)

whats ie? - internet explorer?

[crazy_billy_bats]

i always personally thought the SNES was better than Mega Drive/genesis....
super mario world did it for me....
oh and mariokart :D

[TRshady]

Yeah, but compare that to sonic ............... sega wins :)

Mario = fat, ugly and a plumber

Sonic = cool, fast and is a err ....... hedgehog.

[ooo]
