It was essential for the mega CD because you could mix the md and CD sounds with it (the cd had a clip notch on the side to route the mixer cable, it was such a bloody mess).

32X was the add on I have.
And Doom 32X was the only game I can afford at the time, and the bloody thing got axed, then Saturn came along. And it got axed too soon, and I decided to abandon Sega.
The dreamcast came along. I waited and waited for 1 and half years and it's still going strong. I got it, and guess what? A year later, it got axed and Sega went Multiplatform.
But the dreamcast is one of the best machines, and it gave me Skies of Arcadia and Shenmue. A shame that we didn't see Skies of Arcadia re-released on this gen (the gamecube got one) as it's one of the best RPGs.

Surely this was the machine of dreams that all Sega fans really wanted back in the day:
Looked stunning with the 32X as well:

Oh, man, yes! I really wanted a Multi Mega at the time of release. Production numbers must have been low because I barely ever saw one in the flesh; my (then) local Dixons had it but that was about it. At launch in 1994, IIRC it cost something like £399; today that's equivalent to around £779
. It was a lovely, compact system but at that time the MD was fading and the cost was just a killer.Edit:Oh! And don't forget Amstrad's Mega PC; a PC and MD all-in-one! It was actually pretty decent but, again, the cost prevented it from ever catching on.

To be fair my young tech-obsessed brain did really want one of these back in the day, but even then I knew it was both ugly as anything and doomed to fail!

I remember seeing adverts like that for the Mega PC, it looked interesting but was never going to tempt me away from my beloved Amiga.

I suspect that modification would be difficult, kerr; you'd probably need to replace virtually everything. Amstrad were planning to release a 486 version of the system, dubbed "Mega PC Plus", but low sales of the original model ended those ideas. The system launched at £999 in the UK back in 1994; equivalent to just under two grand today
. Even the swift price drop to £599 - as shown in the advert above - didn't get the public interested.

I remember seeing boxes of these piled up by the entrance of HMV around late 1994 (?)
Really wanted one as I had no CD player at the time but, like others have said, it was pricey and Saturn and PlayStation were already being splashed all over magazine covers.
I did have the 6 button controller though and it was really comfortable.

Multi-mega
Always wanted one and I still think it looks great. One popped up on a local Facebook by and sell group a while back with Aladdin advertised as "megadrive for sell"
. By the time I'd spotted it and got in touch it'd gone and the guy said loads of people were after it. He obviously didn't know what it was and he was selling it for something daft like £30.

And was the cart for Micro Machines bigger as well because it had a pair of extra controller ports on it?
Don't forget...
I think this game was about £70 back in the day.
