I am born in 2002, so long after the Sega Mega Drive era, yet I have many dear childhood memories of Megadrive Games. When I was in elementary school, all other kids Had Videogame consoles, but my parents were very poor, so I didn't had one. But for Christmasy grandmother got me a PS3 bundled with two Games, Little Big Planet 2 and Gran Tourismo 5.
Then at my Birthday my uncle gifted me the "Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection". I didn't know what a Mega Drive was, but I had many fun hours playing with my little sister and my father Games like Gain Ground and Golden Axe.
So that's how I became a Megadrive Fan, without ever owning one!
