I have been fortunate enough to collect two amazing bits of rare, unusual and near-mint #Sega #MegaDrive / #MegaCD hardware this week. The first is the "Team Player", which let you use up to four controllers on a single system.

Of the six positions on that slide switch, A B C and D picked which of the four controllers would be passed through to the console, so you could flip seamlessly between a 3- or 6-button controller, or a mouse.

Mouse? Yeah, hang on - I'll get to that. 🧵

A photo of the box of a Sega Genesis Team Player, an adapter for four controllers for the Sega Genesis console. It says "Compatible with all multi-player games".
A photo of the Team Player unit itself. It has a big slide switch on top with positions labeled Extra, A, B, C, D and Multi. The four ports on the front are labeled A, B, C and D, and it has two plugs protruding from the back - they are labeled Control 1 and Control 2.

Back in 1995 I had no chance owning Sega Saturn :blobcatgamer: Most folks I knew, who owned gaming consoles, pretty much jumped from :sega: Mega Drive (Genesis) to Sony PlayStation 1 :ps1: - there hasn't been many (if any) :segasaturn: units around in Lithuania back then :blobcatnerd:

Yet Sega Saturn is awesome console with CD tray (for game discs) and cartridge slot (mainly used to extend memory). Joystics still feels top: inheriting shape and layout from Mega Drive :blobcatthumbsup:

Can you spot 10 differences in this photo? :blobcatcheer:

Two Sega Saturn consoles: (left, Japanese) gray with memory unit in cartridge slot, with dark trim and blue buttons, (right, European) black with gray buttons and SAROO card in catridge slot. Both with gray joysticks plugged in slot 1 of each console

I should make a much simpler AFD ROM hack project next that doesn't involve this much computing and shenanigans.
Too much effort for something people will forget the next day.

but 'ey, those that did get to see previews already thinks it's cracked.

Stay tuned~

If the player inserts almost any other Mega Drive cartridge into the slot adapter, again a screen with Sonic characters and a scrolling text "No Way" appears. ✋

This time after pressing the A, B and C button at the same time the player gets to play only a single Special Stage without the password ability based on the serial number of the cartridge's ROM header data. 🔢

If you attach Sonic 2 to the Sonic & Knuckles lock-on this unlocks "Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic the Hedgehog 2", wherein the player can play the game using Knuckles and his abilities. ⬇️

Using these special moves, Knuckles can explore areas inaccessible with Sonic or Tails, where secrets such as extra monitors have been added. ➕

Sonic & Knuckles has a lock-on feature that allows players to open the hatch on top of the cartridge and insert a second one. ⬇️

When Sonic 3 is inserted, the player can play through both games as one, the originally intended Sonic 3 & Knuckles. ☑️
This features several changes to the games, such as slightly altered level layouts and the ability to play through both titles as Knuckles or Tails. 🦔

I thought I'd share a video of Crypt of Dracula. It's been a while since I've worked on the game as I'm focused on getting my graphical adventure Chords finished first. Both are very much passion projects which I really want to shine on the system.
