"A few weeks ago I bought a SEGA Master System Converter II on ebay. During the long search for one such adapter however I noticed that not only is this useful device quite rare, but pictures of it on the internet are very few as well!"
"Starting a Google image search with the terms "Master System Converter II" will give you the first useful picture on page FOUR! Feeling that something must be done about this lack of images and remembering your article full of glorious Sonic CD screenshots created for the same purpose, I took my (parents') digital camera and took photos of the converter from each possible angle."
"I even included a shot with the underrated Sonic Chaos inserted in the top, and one with the miraculous portal to the past sitting on top of my MDII+MCDII combo (with a not visible Japanese Sonic CD in the CD drive)! (If you're wondering why there is no 32X, it should be well on the way somewhere on the Atlantic ocean right now as I ordered one from Canada a few weeks ago.)"
"It also should be pointed out that SEGA, in its caring way, had the brilliant idea of adding a small shutter to the top of the adapter to ensure that the machine's inner contacts don't get dusty! How nice, isn't it? Sincerely, P.P.A. (from Germany)."
"PS: Next time I shall reveal the answer to what I'm sure every UKR reader has always been asking: Will the Master System Converter II work with a 32X in-between it and the console? Stay tuned!"
Lovely. Thanks. Now, does someone want to take on the mantle of doing the Mega CD properly? You wouldn't believe the man-hours we've put in over the years trying to find a hi-res photo of one of those.
And a professionally-lit PAL Mega Drive series would also be handy, should anyone have a dust-free boxed example and access to a studio. Hi-res TIFFs, please. You would achieve Google Images fame for eternity.
A site about games and game paraphernalia and how nothing's as good as we remember it, probably because we used to inhabit a FANTASY WORLD.

It came with the template. Maybe in 2014 we'll jump on board the Twitter train and put that in here. Or a radio. That'd be nice.
Also, Sonic Chaos is shit.
idkpa: The noise you make after trying to insert yourself into a SEGA Master System Converter II
Cyberstalking complete.
And to add that, no, I found out the converter does not work with the 32X. :(
'The Master System Power Base Converter cannot be connected to the 32X. Doing so may damage your unit'.

If I were to, say, photograph all six of them stacked on top of a PS3, would that be interesting enough? I could put the hidef one on top, thus inidicating that the HD era actually starts when Sega says it does.
ps. Happy birthday Zorg, noticed it on that little article about that Ninja Garden 2 figure
Yes, yes it would.
I'm not saying it was only on that, but it's one of the highlights (if not the only highlight) of that particular machine.
In other news, the Megadrive/PS3 photo has been taken. Brace yourselves...
