Retro Gaming on the Underground

Why are they playing a Megadrive? Can't be it was just the first thing to hand. Perhaps it's so old it's not a marketing issue with royalties?

Megadrives are awesome and should make a comeback, though they are doing pretty well on the Wii Virtual Console but we are still missing many classics such as Road Rash and Desert/Jungle Strike. I just thought it was quite funny that they are playing that in a modern advert, it's got to be to do with marketing laws and not having to pay rediculous sums of money to the console producers for the right to show it in an unrelated advertisment... or alternatively they didn't want to be involved in something like that... who knows!

Classic games... really wish I'd bought them rather than rented them :-(

Me too, but then there wasn't much scope for me to buy things at the wee age of 7-12, I saved all my pocket money but I only got 50p a week till I was 10 when it went up to £5 a month... not really enough to buy games even in the dark ages of the early 90's!
