Hi guys,
I am Andrew, dedicated SEGA fan since my early years. I grew up playing Mega Drive games on my brother's console and occasionally SMS when visiting my cousins.
I only recently purchased a Master System and currently have a small library of 12 games, though my Mega Drive collection is much bigger. So excited to see how many gems this system has, even the Sonic games are entirely unique. I live in Sheffield, but originally from Greece where SMS/MD were popular back in the days. Excited to see that even today there is a huge Sega 8-bit/16-bit community alive.

Welcome to the forum. Check out the game club, where you can try a recommended game on the SMS or emulator. Think we are currently trying out micro machines. Also if your in Sheffield, there's a gathering in Bury on 5th August. I'm sure you will be expanding your collection in no time... it gets addictive!  |

Also if your in Sheffield, there's a gathering in Bury on 5th August. I'm sure you will be expanding your collection in no time... it gets addictive! I do have an emulator with the full romset on my computer but I am trying to use it wisely in order not to ruin the Sega magic and experience It is addictive, although my recent bank account balance does not share the same enthusiasm, I have to admit. Also, it is a little bit concerning that some games are irrationally expensive for such an old system. This is even more intense for Mega Drive games. Ah that sounds lovely, Bury is not indeed that far away. I'll have a look at the event details, provided the rest of you guys can keep up with my ''clumsy'' Greek accent  |

Well not only are we namesakes, I have been to Greece quite a few times and have Greek friends.
It would be awesome if you could come along on the 5th August, back in 2013 a certain newbie (at the time) decided to take a chance on coming and now I organise the meet ups.
These days I help newbies at events to find bargains, if you come to Play Expo in October I am sure I'll find some bargains for you, my friend Chris will be there and he will no doubt have plenty of recommendations too

I think I can potentially make it for the event, I love arcades and Bury is not that far away. What time will most people turn up?
I was thinking of buying tickets for Play Expo, just didn't know if it's worth it!

I was thinking of buying tickets for Play Expo, just didn't know if it's worth it! is the meet up thread. All I know so far is what time I will be there (not long after 11am) play expo is a laugh, £20 for one day or £34 for the whole thing |

I'm going to the meet in Bury for the first time too, can't wait, will probably get there between 11 and noon to make the most of it. |
