Hmm 🤔 @Marco1019 has been active with us in Wednesday Night Atari Chat lately, he's new here but signed up well before the cut-off. Same for @Mr Toon  @Br1ans Man Cave and @atarifan95, maybe they'd like to jump in!
Can't forget @atarilbc!
@GRay Defender has a YouTube channel I really enjoy! He's a longtime member of the forums, I wonder if he'd like to participate in the Giveaway?
@Atarileaf and @Gemini Gamer are both in Canada, but maybe they want to build up their collections and join in?
@kamakazi20012, do you think @BlackCatz40 would want to participate?
@btbfilms76 is directing and acting in a play right now and has been pretty swamped, I will get ahold of him and make sure he sees this.

That is so awesome!

My mom may not be a retro gamer (she says all games look the same LOL), but she is willing to watch some retro gamers on YouTube with me.  A few of the ones she likes are LGR, Game Sack, and yes, The No Swear Gamer!  She enjoys your content!  You have a fan who aside from the odd 2600 game doesn't even play video games!

You are correct on this Rick..

I do not have a 3DS, so put me on the "interested" list. 

I will be trying it on another one on Saturday. Hopefully it works. Otherwise, I'll have to buy a Master System. Speaking of buying things, would anyone here be interested in an original Nintendo 3DS? I'm going to try selling it locally first, but if that fails, I'll be willing to ship it to someone who wants it.

I actually just bought one from RetroBit and it seems fine. 1000mA compared to the 500mA of my AtGames adapter. It also doesn't overheat like my AtGames one, but my Power Base Converter is still not working. I can play it for about 30 minutes and can keep switching games, but after that, the next time I turn the console off, it will refuse to run for at least an hour. Should I just give up and return it? The guy who sold me it will give me my money back so I can get his model 1 Master System.

I'm not exactly sure what to look for. Electrical stuff like that is not something I'm good with. However, I do think this cable is giving the Genesis insufficient power and that the PBC is pushing it too hard and refuses to run after awhile. I have it running Altered Beast at the moment just fine and even restarting the console worked too, but I have a feeling that if I try again later, it won't. I'm going to go buy a proper power cable today.

I have been away from this site for way too long. I was searching for some info about the Power Base Converter today and was pleasantly surprised to have stumbled across this old forum thread I made over a year ago. I hate to bump an old thread, but since I'd like to finally tell you guys the end of my story about my search for a way to play Master System games, I'll post it here.
 
I got that model 1 Genesis earlier this year and have been enjoying it a lot and I did get a new Game Gear a month after this thread was started. This left me with all three options for playing SMS games. I decided against the Master Gear Converter awhile back so I was down to two options. Yesterday, I went to my local flea market for the first time in six months to finally buy myself a Master System, but then I saw something I never thought I'd find locally. The Power Base Converter! I bought it for $45 and got After Burner and Altered Beast complete in box for $25 which seems a little high for two common SMS games, but not is the Canadian dollar different, but also everyone here tends to charge more. I plan on collecting the entire North American SMS game library complete in box and I do hope to get a real SMS this Christmas (I found one complete in box for $125).
 
I do have one question though. The Power Base Converter almost doesn't work. I think there's something wrong with my Genesis because I took it back to the flea market and tested it on the Genesis the guy originally tested it with and it worked perfectly. The issue is, most of the time, all I get is a black screen. Genesis games work fine, but not the PBC. I have to repeatedly pull it out and reinsert it and just hope it'll work and the odd time it randomly will and I can enjoy the PSG version of Final Take Off while blasting fighter jets out of the sky. On the flea market Genesis, it had no issue, but on mine at home, even just changing the game or turning the console off will screw it up for the next time I try to play it. Does anyone know what the issue might be?

Sorry. No one got it.
It was Plaque Attack

Sorry. Review is up and so is the time.
 
It was Kool-Aid Man

(Nice guess on Thundercastle though)

Our champ gets his first point of 2018~
Space Armada is correct!

 
Game 54
Intellivision

Looks like the roofs on "Thunder Castle"

Before my funds ran low I got many everdrives, I wish I had gotten a SMSEverdrive but I didn't because I got the MegaEverdriveMD so you can play SMS roms on Genesis and it works good for the most part but...eh just something, I think a dedicated SMSEverdrive and playing on my original SegaMaster System would just be more fun! Anyway, cool video, this game is cool, great to see new SMS Homebrew !
