The day the megadrive ran out of road and fuel.

It was in a toy store who's location are now lost to the winds of time. There were two kids who were at the age where the coolest thing around were the Ninja Turtles and thoughts of mortgages, repayments, hot women and fast cars wouldn't be thought of for many years to come. In a time way before the internet (1990 evidently), it was the newest, sexiest toy ever - the unknown entity that was black and sleek, almost dangerous looking with more buttons than we knew how to handle. It was the next step in evolution that took what we knew for granted and flushed right down the can and then whizzed on it once again for good measure. A black Lamborghini Contach? Nay! But I'd still like one.  Maybe the Ferrari Testarossa of its time? No. But I had a poster of this on my wall. Also it's red, not black.  So what was it?
