After March and Aprils console cull I've changed a few things in my collection.I always liked SEGA consoles and games. Sure, Nintendo had the NES and SNES, they had the N64 and the game cube, but somewhere they lost touch with the common man, they strayed away from hardcore3 and the people who put them where they were and have embraced the "casual gamer" or "game chaves" as i like to call them.
That group of people who think waving an 80's TV remote around in their front room to play an ugly game with all the finesse of PONG (yes I'm talking about WII sports) is a gaming evolution and look like prats while doing so.
Atari bit the dust after their last console the Jaguar, it was outdated (and i don't care how many times they told the gaming press, two 32 bit chips do not make a 64 bit console!) and under powered mess with bad styling and a very odd controller.
So in my view, Sega is the only one of the many retro console manufacturers who never really put a foot too badly wrong (yes the ps1 out sold the Saturn and the dreamcast was ditched as everyone had their heads so far up sony's arse to notice it over the PS2 (the fools!!!).
What I'm leading to to with this ramble is that for the time being i will be mostly collecting sega.
Ive just got a Saturn with 12 games, boxed and with a memory cart for £17!!! this led me to go through the boxes in my store room and find a boxed dreamcast and a Meagadrive with CD and 32X plus a load of games, and a master system one and two.
All i need now is a better game gear (mine is scratched to hell) and the rare than rocking horse manure Nomad and i will be on my way!
