The Mega Everdrive has the most features, but its also the most expensive. You have the option of having him add a plastic shell or doing it yourself. It costs about 9$

Guys, reminder to please vote for your favourite 16-bit OSTs in this thread for Best OSTs of Gen 4:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1239268
Unlike in the "best games of Gen 4" thread you don't even have to write a comment, just list your favourite soundtracks!
The poor Genesis got sadly underrepresented in the Best Games of Gen 4 thread, and there's very little participation in this one so far, it'd be cool if we got more people voting.
Voting expires July 31st, let's do this

The US version was weirdly expensive ($20-30 for loose cart in poor condition) when I was looking for it not too long ago. I ended up getting the Japanese one instead.

You want the Saturn or 3DS version of Outrun anyway.

3DS version of Outrun is pure perfection.
It is, as is space harrier
Odd, I don't mind if they aren't as long as they are good!
Congrats dude!!!HELL YEAH.
Didn't even have to resort to changing the difficulty to Easy!
You guys were right, the final boss was pretty disappointing. No 1 CC for me, but after a couple attempts at the final level, I beat it. Probably the first Shmup I've ever completed!
Bring on August.
HELL YEAH.

Last Chance to vote.
Crue Ball
ATTENTION HEADBANGERS! The Ultimate Heavy Metal Pinball Concert is about to begin! You just got front row tickets to a no-holds barred, totally rockin' Metalfest. It's up to you to blast the anti-rock forces and crank up the volume to the max. Crue Ball gives you a backstage pass to the ultimate pinball tour. Blistering soundtrack features three Motley Crue hits! Nine rippin' volume levels (that's play levels, dudes)! Special appearance by Motley Crue's Alister Fiend! Loads of skill shots and nasty enemies!
Devilish
Anyone can break through a couple of brick walls, right? Well, breaking through barriers is only a small part of this mission. Tons of beasts, bodies, blockades, and other bad seed await you as you travel through a series of eight daring and challenging stages.
Dodge through graveyards and waterfalls, slide through a world of ice, and with a little luck, you'll reach the Evil Temple, where you'll come face to face with your most evil nemesis, Gamma.
But Gamma doesn't even expect you to make it to the end, because he has placed plenty of his best beasts and boobie-traps on each level to aid in your demise. And at the end of each level, you must battle one of Gamma's most devoted creatures of darkness before you can move on to the next challenge.
But don't worry. We've equipped you with our specialized dual-paddle system. And there are four different paddle formations to give you maximum control of the Power Orb.
Echo: Tides of Time
Ecco is older, stronger and engulfed by dangers! The evil Vortex has shattered the mystical Asterite. Ecco and Trellia, a beautiful dolphin of the future, cross 100 million years of time to save the dolphins and all life on Earth! Ecco morphs! Charge a metasphere to become a shark with all its fighting power! Change into a seagull and fly! Safely swim past dangers as a jellyfish! Over 40 levels of spectacular aquatic adventure, with password save. Five levels of challenging 3-D travel, through the vast waters of the open ocean!
Syndicate
Mission Briefing: Sources indicate that a rival syndicate has developed a dangerous new computer program and our research boys want it. In the year 2096, the world is divided into regions controlled by a handful of massive corporations, struggling for dominance. Prepare yourself for the ultimate corporate takeover!
McDonald's Treasureland Adventure
Based on the McDonald's fast food franchise and four of its corporate mascots from McDonaldland (Ronald McDonald, Hamburglar, Grimace, and Birdie the Early Bird), the game follows the adventures of Ronald McDonald in an attempt to find four pieces of a treasure map, and ultimately, the treasure to which it leads.
I know some people do not like Price Charting. If thats the overall consensus then I'll remove it. I figure at a quick glance we can get an idea on pricing.

If anything but Ecco wins, i'll be super happy.
If you bastards vote Ecco 2 right after i finally conquered Ecco 1, i will hate you all forever.

What's wrong with Ecco 2? I think it's really fun! lovely graphics and music too.

Ecco 1 was an ordeal for me. I mean, unless Ecco 2 improved some of the fundamentals of the game, much as a dug Ecco's music and its sense of style, it was frustrating to actually play. It has lots of little nuisances that added up
It did!

I'm hyped for some McDonald's Treasure Land Adventures.
Also, this should be a nice, easy victory for most everyone in the thread. Game is fun, but it isn't hard.

interesting pick this month =)
I just picked up Desert Strike today. I approve.
There's 1 PAL copy of this McDonalds game on eBay and it's £90 😂
For real? I own the PAL-one, should definitely sell it then since it doesnt work in 60hz :/
Anyways, I was going to play Mcdonalds Treasure Land Adventures today, but ended up trying to fix a Sega Arcade Power Stick 2. I managed to get the stick working, but its still pretty slow. Any tips on things to do to make it more responsible? Its this stick btw: http://segaretro.org/Arcade_Power_Stick_6B
I cant figure out how not to get caught by the swinging trapeze people. Also this game is so Treasure its crazy.
EDIT: I wonder what happened to these guys - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS4quU8Ip0o
Found it searching for "undiscovered sega" since hidden gems is too common these days.
