VHS or BETA?

I choose the Mega Drive.

-CoreFleet: An underground commander unit based RTS ~15%
-TailsVSEggman: An Sonic themed RTS under development for idea presentation to Sega ~15%

I probably would've been a beta man back in the day, just as I adopted HD over Bluray (because its better!). Either way, I lost.

I just realised most people here are looking at this thread like it's primeval alien technology, used to beat prey about the head before roasting it on a fire.

Beta Max IS the future. You can't deny it.


The Sega Megadrive was awesome, used to love the damn thing.

However, I don't mean to 1-up you, but...





My first console ever. It was pretty awesome, but I was too damn young to remember the damn thing as I was only born in 1989. Well I remember Sonic on it and that's about it.

Oh and...



Because it was also awesome.

I like the first Vid; it's "Methos" from Highlander.

Talk about Hi-Tech




I actually owned this game, and enjoyed the 100's of hours playing it. Not sure how it compares to Electronic Detective, as I never owned that.
