SEGA MEGA ANSER

And you thought the 32X was a weird add-on for the SEGA MegaDrive (Genesis for you US residents). Pah! Apparently you've never heard of the SEGA MEGA ANSER thingy. The software and hardware combo for the professional MegaDrive user. Yes, the professional; not the gamer.

All you, the professional, had to do was plug the MEGA ANSER cartridge, connect the remote-like controller and the MD Modem (sold separately) to your console and voila. You had a fully working answering machine, an online connection to your favorite Japanese bank and a pretty basic accounting utility. And you were an excited accountant ready to play out your very own -very private- American Psycho fantasies. With a console.

Right. You would have looked utterly sad. You know that, don't you? Thankfully, SEGA ANSER was only released in Japan. Even better, more info can be gathered here, here or there. Bliss.

  5. But, Mr. Elderly, aren't you afraid of heights? South China Sea sharks? Lost console curses? No? You are indeed a brave man sir!

    Slacker, I wouldn't believe so. Unless of course it were a gaming professional with too much time...
