@KALofKRYPTON I bought Mortal Kombat for the Master System (for not much money) just because I remember what a rather poor port it was and for pure underpowered goodnes, it did not disappoint.
Doh, I nearly bought Deus Ex as it was only £6 but didn't. Will keep an eye out for it again.

@KALofKRYPTON It was a Master System 2 with Sonic the Hedgehog built in. I have this weird recollection that my cousin had a mastersystem before they had a megadrive and I played it before but can't seem to remember any games oher than the controller!

@Rudy_Manchego We went from a Speccy, to an Amiga then got the MegaDrive. A couple of local mates had Master Systems. R-Type was good, Wonder Boy 3, Space Harrier, Castle of Illusion and I remember really liking Ninja and Hang-On- but that could be a nostalgic rose-tinting as they were both games my neighbour had on the card format and I thought they were like magic!

@KALofKRYPTON Well I was a Nintendo child. I went BBC B Microcomputer to NES and Atari ST, then Gameboy then SNES. My cousin and friends had Master Systems and a Megardive/32x/Mega CD. I still have a pretty large NES and SNES collection from those days.

@Rudy_Manchego I've always regretted not buying a 32x. Came very close a few times over the last few years - but the ever increasing cost of the units and the decent games has always given me pause. I did own Knuckles Chaotix for a while after I got it (ridiculously) cheap. But I sold it for £200 a few years back
I find I'm using the Mega Drive and Mega CD less and less these days - and I haven't used the Saturn in a long time. Depending on how the MegaDrive mini turns out, I might sell them on.

I want a 32x, firstly from a collectors view point and also from wanting that Star Wars game for some odd reason. I nearly bought a Saturn this weekend instead of Wii U, just for Children of the Atom but to be honest, not sure what else I would play so that is just one for the collecting shelf.

@Ralizah Always thought it was a shame they didn't use the Vita to replicate that... While I wasn't a fan of the 'tap to combo' aspect of it - the ultimate controller thing they did for MvC was great.
@KALofKRYPTON I think by the point they were porting it off to other systems, Ubi just wanted a quick and dirty port to make back some of the money they lost on the game. Switch owners buy third party games, thankfully, which is why support is so much better these days, but a lot of decent Wii U third party games did quite poorly, unfortunately.
As I recall, Deus Ex also had good GamePad utilization. It's too bad the thing isn't terribly comfortable to hold, as it could be quite useful in some games.
@Ralizah Yeah Zombi U on PS4 did nothing for me but then I know a few Wii U owners who said it works really well with the gamepad so I thought I would give it a go. Never played a Pikmin game before (shame on me) but will check it out.
@KALofKRYPTON Argh I have no cash now... where were you yesterday? £90 and some dairylea dunkers?
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
@KALofKRYPTON Enough to dunk whatever you want into them!
Don't worry, to be honest I don't know the value of Saturns, esp modded ones as I haven't really looked into them and you need to get the price you need. I'm going to have to do my thing of researching versions, prices, games etc. to make sure I know market value. I also don't know what games are considered good for the system. As a Nintendhead I am pretty bang on with that gen for Nintendo games but Sega passed me by, especially as the console wasn't a commercial hit.

@KALofKRYPTON I regretted asking for the 32x one Christmas. Absolutely rubbish.
