Welcome to the primary of a number of episodes that RGDS will probably be releasing to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the discharge of the Sega Mega Drive in Japan, hosted by our very personal Matt L.

The Mega Drive was a giant hit amongst followers of the early gray import scene, and we thought there was no person higher to visitor on the present than Colin Dimond, the previous co-owner of the notorious Console Concepts import retailer, based mostly in Stoke-on-Trent in the course of the late 80’s and early 90s.

Colin offers his professional perception into the affect the MD had on the import scene, the place the MD lays amongst its rivals of the time and the legacy it left on the business.

This is an enchanting dialog, and in case you loved Colin’s final look on RGDS in EP 197 (The Golden Age of Imports), you’ll merely love this one too.
