The Spitfire Simp

I heard something incredibly mental recently...

The Master System and Mega Drive are still sold and supported by TecToy, in Brazil...
It's just excellent I think that they were able to support and sell a console beyond when lots of us thinking that it was obsolete!

  Meh; I can use an emulator; its more that I don't want to have to buy an actual TV (and pay the yearly licence fee) just to play old games. I imagine it will get worse; apparently a lot of new tvs now don't even HAVE the old analogue tv signal circuitry.

  Yeah...
  It's a fucking discrase paying for the TV Licence...
  Considdering my mum had to pay for it when we didn't even have the ariel for a few months (my mum pays monthly) because BBC started charging for to use BBC iPlayer (seriously... WTF)...
  
  And BTW I ment a HDMI upscaler just incase you decide to use it with one of your monitors

  Sure, but the output of a megadrive is a tv signal, not (say) an RGB/svideo/scart; anything that can accept it as input (upscaler or not) counts as a TV and (like the iPlayer) requires a licence.
  
  (that said, I just spent the last half hour or so playing Sonic the Hedgehog on the Mame's Megadrive emulator )
