Ever fired up an old Sega Genesis and seen that cryptic MegaNet screen pop up? That's this thing. It's not really a game—more like the weird startup screen you'd get if your console had some obscure online service (which, in Japan, it kinda did).

Boots up with that classic 16-bit Sega jingle, shows a grid of dots that makes you think it's about to connect to some long-dead server. Kinda nostalgic in a "what could've been" way. Makes you wonder if anyone actually used this back in the day.

Most people will only see it when messing with emulators or region-swapped cartridges.
