SEGA’s 16-bit console is one of the most collectible in the retro world today
As of today Collecting retro video games It is becoming a fad that more and more people are joining. It doesn’t matter how old you are or whether you have passed through time or not, collecting retro is a little drug that once you get into it, it’s pretty hard to get outand I tell you from my own experience that I have been practicing this hobby for a few years.
The thing is, if you’re determined to take the leap, you’ll find yourself in a pretty complicated jungle in which you will have to fight your way between speculators and repros with which you have to be very careful. If you still want to start collecting, I think today, Mega Drive is the perfect system for this.
Mega Drive the perfect retro system to start collecting
- get the console complete in boxdepending on the condition, varies between 100€ and 300€
- The games are very well preserved thanks to the boxes with which SEGA distributed them
- With the exception of a few system-specific titles, the majority They are easy and cheap
- if you want them PAL/Spain You won’t have a problem because in Europe they were almost all multi
- On Mega Drive, there was region restriction so Japanese games don’t work in Europe
- The most complicated is find manuals games because many are damaged
- You can find many games in wallapop, Vinted, eBay and even European resellers
- The most typical system games do not pass the 50€ especially
