 ====== Notes on Mega Drive Games ======
-More of a wishlist of games I want to write notes about. I've definitely messed with the MD library on emulators, but ages ago. I'd like to get a MD and a flash cart in the future. Leaving out obvious shit like //SOR//, [[Treasure]]'s stuff, the [[Konami]] games, etc... for now.
+Started as more of a wishlist of games I want to write notes about, but I'm starting to put actual notes in here now. I've definitely messed with the MD library on emulators, but ages ago. Leaving out obvious shit like <del>//SOR//</del>, [[Treasure]]'s stuff, the [[Konami]] games, etc... for now.
+I've recently (2/2025) got a [[sega_mega_drive|Mega Drive]] and [[mega_everdrive_pro|flash cart]], and am having a good time playing bits of lots of games.

+| Oh yeah, I remember getting into this when I was playing the MD ROMset. Going off an old comment: Stylish Doom clone where you control members of a team, each has different abilities. You can jump, and there's a cool flamethower. There's an unreleased but available sequel I haven't tried yet. Gets repetitive, but fun for a bit. |||
