Hello everyone and welcome to the past.  This site is dedicated to the owner of The Games Arena's favourite consoles the Sega Mega CD.  Hope you enjoy the site and here is a little introduction.

MEGADRIVE - While Nintendo ruled over the rest of the planet.  Sega conquered Europe with the 16-Bit Megadrive.  It wasn't pretty- a matt black slab of plastic that was eerily lightweight- but it had big-name developers lining up to bring their games to its plasticy cartridges.  Again, The Big S had a hefty line-up of popular coin-ops to convert, and its sales meant a boom time for gaming.  And with the release of top titles like the Sonic series, Mortal Kombat series and the Ecco series it gradually broke through in America and began to dominate..  But now it is time to get one it can be picked up cheaply and the games can also be very cheap some just 50p - £1 try it you'll like it.

RECOMMENDED SYSTEM PRICE £20-£25
