In 1996 Tec Toy would partner with Catapult (the creator of X-band) to launch this cartridge in the country. Meganet II was no more than a translated and adapted version of the American product. That is, he had the same faults and qualities as his gringo brother. Launched at $ 119.90 for the children's day of 1996 and with signature values ​​similar to those of Meganet I, the service remained on the air until mid-1998. The compatible games were these:
 
 
 
Mortal Kombat II
 
Mortal Kombat 3
 
Super Street Fighter II
 
FIFA Soccer '95
 
NBA JAM
 
 
 
Anyone who thinks this would mean an end to online gambling on Mega Drive is very much mistaken. The first modem released for the system, the Mega Modem, still works today. That's it! With the accessory, a phone line and some compatible cartridge, it's still possible to challenge your friends for exciting Cyberball or Advanced Daisenryaku matches. And the best: you can even use the translated English versions of these games if you also have a cartridge with SD input like the Retrodrive. Here's some details on how this game works at this link: http: //www.sega-16.com/forum/showthread.php? 15793-Mega-Modem-Still-works !!!!! (in English).
 
 
 
Who has the X-band (or Meganet II) can also fuel some hope. There is already a group of people that seeks to recreate the server that made it possible to play with these devices. Have already achieved some success with the specific ROMs through emulators, as can be seen at this link: http://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthread.php?14637-X-Band-Revived! (in English).
