    Lol hi guys ok so today my sister was walking past some guys house and he was carrying a box and towards a skip she noticed a sonic game on the top of the box and asked politely if she could
    have the game (for me ) which he replied does he want this too!
    long and short she has just been and given me a mega drive mk1 with
    these games
    sonic(not working) :(
    fifa 95 boxed
    super kick off boxed
    street fighter 2 special championship edition boxed
    mega games 1 boxed

    also in the box was a pad and all the leads

    i plugged it in and at first it would not come on :(
    turns out that it was just the game (sonic)
    all the other games work fine thank you sis for not being too proud to ask for a guys trash lol

    1600-005

    Lucky! I miss the days when I could find stuff like this just lying around, particularly at a garage sale or something where people had no idea what they had.

    When you boot it do you get a copyright message?

    Good find though, could use a dusting it looks like.

    Have you tried cleaning the sonic contacts?

    First post in this forum and I second the suggestion of mrwonderful.

    Try cleaning the inside of the cartridge with a cotton swab and some alcohol based product. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KamJnNhUJuc
