Another rarity I never know existed! Who would've thought that they made a portable MD to play on a plane?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Sega would :p
ReplyDeleteWow - didn't even know this site existed! It's awesome! Some of these finds bring back font memories of carboot sales of yore! Also - Racketboy, yes your interview was featured in that Dreamcast edition of Retro Gamer Magazine.
