As a way of celebration, she decided to make a cocktail menu, and we'd see how far we'd get playing Streets of Rage II on the Megadrive Mini.
She noticed the wind picking up outside on a hot and sticky day, and decided to sit outside the lounge window. Then the thunder and lightning began...
This is a series of 18 pictures about the European Hardcourt Bike Polo Championship (EHBPC) – Zaragoza 2015. I took these picts during the Octopussy-Birds and Octopussy-Megadrive matches (Semifinals, Final). I resorted to Silver Effex Pro, heavily resorting to U-points, mostly sticking to a uniform, retro style trying to focus on the toughness of the game, the clubs, the ball, the bikes, the players. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I've enjoyed working on them.

This week the theme in Macro Mondays is contraption. I know this is some kind of switch for a Sega Megadrive that my son told me to photograph!
New Game Picture Sonic the Hedgehog
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG
Species: Hedgehog
Age: 15
Abilities: run at high speeds, spindash, flash jump, light speed dash, light speed attack (attacks depend on what game you are playing).
Sonic is a loyal yet rebellious character that fights for what is right and for freedom of the innocent animals that his enemy Ivo Robotnik harshly captures. Since a young child, Sonic was a gifted child with the ability to run at high speeds. After the disappearance of his parents, Sonic has been on his own from a young teenage age. After being assaulted constantly by the "Eggman" a.k.a - Robotnik, Sonic started to see the true potential of his special abilities. He was faster and smarter than any other hedgehog on Planet Mobius. Sonic soon he met Amy Rose, another hedgehog with the gift of speed, though she couldn't run as fast as Sonic. Soon, Amy fell in love with Sonic, but Sonic didn't exactly fell the same for her. However, he would still try to protect her if anything happened. Sonic is friendly, yet demanding, giving him the trait of leadership. Others find it easy to be his friend by living with the fact the Sonic gives up for nobody. He's his own follower. After a brutal fight with Robotnik about 6 years ago, which Sonic successfully won at, he started to realize that it would take more than his own power to stop Robotnik should he come back again. While running down a street one day, Sonic ran into a homeless pup named Miles Prower. The pup was lonely and Sonic took him in. Soon, Sonic gave the young pup a new nickname which he liked - Tails. Tails would be Sonic's best friend from that point on. The two are known for their successful defeat against Robotnik's "Death Egg" attack vessel, which was a large floating battleship
BIOGRAPHY Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog is the flagship character and mascot for the video game and arcade game (and formerly game console) company Sega, which has released a series of video games in which he either stars or plays a role. Sonic was competing head-to-head with Nintendo's mascot, Mario, for over a decade until Sega left the console market. His games are now on various Nintendo systems and other consoles. Sonic replaced Alex Kidd, who was Sega's mascot prior to 1990. Naoto Oshima designed the character while Yuji Naka was the main programmer. He would later become head of the Sonic Team division. He was also used as the mascot of Sega's Blast Processing, a feature of the Sega Genesis which supposedly allowed Genesis games to draw polygons faster. Sonic was an early example of the "obscure anthropomorphic animal starring in a platform game" character archetype that was later seen in characters such as Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Blinx, and Sly Cooper. Sonic is a blue, 15 year old hedgehog who lives on the planet Earth (or Mobius in various other American or European sources, which, depending on the universe, varies from being simply the name of Earth in the future to being an entirely different planet). He has the ability to run at supersonic speeds, hence his name. His blue pigmentation was explained in an issue of gaming magazine GamePro as being the result of getting caught in an explosion involving cobalt, but this is probably not canonical. There is an alternative explanation in Stay Sonic: Official Sega Handbook, a book about Sonic the Hedgehog written by Mike Pattenden. At some point it was divulged (probably from an American source) that Sonic enjoys eating chili dogs. The premise of the games revolves around Doctor Eggman (Doctor Ivo Robotnik in the earlier releases in North America and Europe) trying to take over the world by turning the animals into robots (often called Badniks, though this is an US/EUR term and hasn't been used since Sonic Adventure). Sonic is charged with saving them. In later games he is joined by Tails (Miles "Tails" Prower), Amy Rose, Knuckles the Echidna, Cream the Rabbit and a host of other characters. Sonic must collect Golden Rings to protect himself from the robots, and he ultimately must collect the Chaos Emeralds from the Special Stages in order to become his most powerful form, Super Sonic. However, Sonic's quest does not necessitate collecting the Emeralds himself; he must only prevent Eggman from collecting them and dooming the world with their power, as well as deal with numerous other foes, such as Metal Sonic (Mecha Sonic), Fang the Sniper (formerly Nack the Weasel in the West, still Nack in the comic books), Shadow the Hedgehog, and Rouge the Bat. Sonic has numerous abilities, including Homing Attack, where he hits enemies while jumping, and Light Dash, where he can run along a path of rings, even in the air. He is a poor swimmer, however, and will drown in water, even as Super Sonic. (However, as Hyper Sonic in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, he can stay alive in water.) In SatAM Sonic's love interest is Princess Sally Acorn; in the video games Amy Rose believes she is Sonic's girlfriend (Sonic, however, is quite repelled by Amy's constant advances but in the modern day Sonic TV show Sonic X, there is a bit more of a mutual vibe between Sonic and Amy); Breezie hedgehog in Adventures of Sonic the hedgehog cartoon; and both Sally Acorn and Mina Mongoose in Sonic's Archie comics. Interestingly, one of a class of genes involved in fruit fly embryonic development, called hedgehog genes after the name given to the first member of this class discovered, has been named "sonic hedgehog" after this character. The music of the first two Sonic the Hedgehog games on the Megadrive and Genesis was composed by the Japanese band Dreams Come True. Sonic is also incredibly popular with the fangaming community, with possibly more fanmade games than any other video game star. In all games, Sonic is voiced by either Jun'ichi Kanemaru or Ryan Drummond. In the TV shows, he is voiced by five different actors (specific to each show): Jaleel White, Masami Kikuchi, Martin Burke , Jun'ichi Kanemaru and Jason Griffith .

Mega Drive's new album dropped a couple weeks ago and I forgot! Silly me. Luckily NRW reminded me yesterday so of course I've been listening to it non-stop since then.

It's a good thing Lego Digital Designer exists, otherwise I'd have to bricklink all those orange and brown pieces
Turns out EB Games has an online store and they had these Console Key Rings by Numskull on clearance so I had to grab what I could. I hoped they had the Playstation 4 but whatever I suppose.
I got a Playstation 2, Sega Megadrive, and Atari 2600 console and joystick. The consoles themselves are pretty decent 1/6th scale but the joystick is more 1/3 scale.
I’m really surprised at the high level of detail as you can see Numskull went out of their way to print lettering, replicate the woodgrain and have all the sculpting from the actual console on there.
Anyway my small collection of doll sized consoles is growing lol.

Pretty much my entire console collection, and nearly every machine in the picture is plugged in and ready to play. Planning out where to place each machine in relation to where the wires were going to go, how long the wires are, which have SCART and which have standard TV aerials took quite some time. Top tip - those 5 in 1 SCART adapters (basically a box with 5 SCART sockets in it that sits behind your TV) are a Godsend for this kind of thing. I think I've done quite well not to have ended up with hundreds of wires spilling all over the place, but it'll probably all end in tears if I need to remove one of the consoles.
Since doing this, I've realised that the easiest way to hook a big pile of machines up is to separate the power wires from the aerial & SCART leads. Start with the power wires first, as those will be the ones on the ground (and hidden under the units) most of the time and won't be moved around as much. Start from the plug sockets and work your way back to the place where the console will be, but don't connect them to any consoles yet. Once all the power wires are plugged in and in place, push all the excess cable under the unit as much as you can, then do the same with the TV aerials / SCART leads, starting from the TV and the 5 in 1 SCART adapter and working your way back to where the console will be. As you mess with TV wires more than power supplies, it makes sense to do those second. Finally, drop in the consoles and connect everything up, before hiding as much of the aerial / SCART cables as you can.
If you have multiple Dreamcasts and you intend to plug one into a TFT, another top tip - saved games made on a regular TV don't seem to work with the TFT and vice-versa, so pick one DC to use on a TFT and stick with it or you'll get confused with your saves real quick.
To the left, I have two small baskets which hold all the loose SNES carts and all my Neo Geo Pocket games. There's a Game Gear and a Gameboy Advance just out of shot, too but neither work anymore so I didn't want to include them here. I'm planning on adding some more consoles eventually (still trying to get my hands on a Neo Geo, PC Engine Duo and a Jaguar) so I might have to take another picture with a third shelf unit added. That might be tricky...
Holocube from the game Flashback - A quest for identity.
One of the best game of my chilhood on Megadrive (SEGA genesis )
I will give up my lightgun - when they prise it from my cold, dead fingers!
For an idea which supposedly "never caught on", the lightgun was pretty damn ubiquitous. They always cost a fortune, there were only ever a couple of games each could play, and yet they shifted units by the sandcrawlerload. And you can't even put up a set of shelves with one!
