Are You a Console War Veteran?

The 1990’s were a rough time for computer game playing kids. On one side of the playground were the Nintendo kids and on the other Sega kids. The battles between the two would be bloody and fierce but that particular battle would be ended a few years later with the arrival of the PlayStation. But for those of you who fought the good fight in the name of the Mega Drive/Genesis it’s time to collect a medal for all the hard work.

Ok, so when I say collect, I actually mean buy. Thanks to supermandolin you can purchase your very own Mega Drive/Genesis pad medal to wear proudly on any shirt, bag or other item. The heretics are also catered for with NES, SNES and PlayStation controllers but obviously the only one worth buying is a Sega one. Should any of you lot end up with one of these fantastic medals e-mail me and I’ll even put your picture in a future story in which to show it off. Think of it as a further reward.

cool. where can i get one

Hehe I like that. I wonder if they have a medallion like that with the Sonic head on it that Sonic Team uses as their logo?

I think I might have to get one for NES and Genesis. I’m gonna pin the Genesis one to my Tails doll. lol

im a baby boomer of the console war, i was born admidst the fighting and grew up in a sega family. that medal totally belongs to my older brother who came close to actually physical violence against gameboyyers until he got one, then he stopped caring.

You can get them on the supermandolini website… the one I linked to in the story. Or at this very address: http://www.supermandolini.com/acatalog/console_wars_veteran_IV.html
The other medals can be found by clicking the links to the right hand side of the page.

I’d like one. I was seriously around for this. Silly me was a Nintendo fangirl at the time, now I wish I had paid attention to SEGA more. (Well… except Zelda, Castlevania and Metroid =D)
