    So its just Game Library, ok. Thanks.

    Though I still wonder why they released another bundle apart from the one with the Game Library-designed box.

    The modem on it's own was cheaper and could be used by the games that supported it.

    Yeah, but the item above originally included a "Net Game" which was most likely Game Library.
    There seem to be quite more versions of the modem floating around than I thought.

    - Mega Modem
    - Mega Modem Game Library Boxset (used the GL cover as outer design)
    - Mega Modem Game Library Boxset (only a remark on the box that a game is inside)
    - Mega Modem Game Library Boxset (Longbox)

    I've never heard of the Megadrive ISDN adaptor either. I've seen pictures of the disk drive, keyboard and graphics tablet, but not that.

    The modem also worked with "Cyberball" (both the domestic and the Japanese versions). Problem with using it in the U.S. was the modem was preprogrammed (IIRC) to dial a "0" before the phone number, making domestic connection impossible.

    Its on my other computer,i'll have access by monday to it..
    Auction was last year on Yahoo Japan,and got sold for more than 200000...it was complete in box (blue box),ISDN version

    Calpis: i don't remember it looking that way,but anyway it was CIB,and it was japanese version, so we're not talking about same products (just look at Asian/JPN Multimega price,compared to Sega CDX..)

    Thanks for the ISN pics wheelaa. So does it use the serial port like the modem? I'm also wondering what software supported it. Probably just banking stuff!

    That's the one i was talking about!
    I'll check in my old computer hard drive if i can find the price,but i'm pretty sure you're right,it ended for more than 53000 Yens..i remember like 200000,but maybe i'm wrong,i have to find it.

    I got confused with this other strange piece of MD Hardware, the Linguaphone:


    [​IMG]

    It got sold for 203000 Yens...looks similar to Multimega, but it's not..?

    Too, I never saw a picture of Mega Anser..i mean THE printer,not the software..somebody ever had it?

    I remember that auction too. It was sold by Benesse who are basically a language education company. My baby boy watches their Shimajiro videos. Yeah, Shimajiro is from the world famous toilet craping tiger instruction video for kids that I subtitled a few years back.
