@outofprintarchive@retro.pizza @68000@corteximplant.com my story of regret is swapping my original Megadrive and loads of JP import games for a fucking Atari ST in about 1992. I was buying games via mail order from all the little adverts there used to be in the back of C&VG

@COMPU73E@retro.pizza @68000@corteximplant.com Aw man, that one also hurts. I have such an incredible fondness for the early years of the Mega Drive. Whenever I think about it, so many emotions and memories come flooding back. People just don't understand what this stuff means to us when they go "akshually Altered Beast is complete garbage 🤓" 😂 I sold my original Game Boy back in the day. And NES, as well as my Mega Drive... I still remember vividly how much I ended up missing them. Getting a Mega Drive again in 1997 with Sonic 1, Klax, ThunderForce 2 and 3 and Golden Axe 2 was such a revelation. So much so that a month later I actually took a big risk and bought a Saturn, despite everyone telling me how garbage it was, even in the shops. That thought me to ignore most people's opinions. 😆
