    Well, sure, it's easy to decipher what it actually means, but it's much more amusing to take that poorly constructed summary to the conclusion it superficially implies.

    Which, I believe, is at least part of what this thread is for.
    Bearing that in mind: Mission accomplished, Septonyte.

    Man I used to love playing games on my Super genesis. But looking back at it now, I know that some will the same and other will not.

    The phrase "Super Genesis" makes me twitch in an unpleasant manner. /rage

    Man, in England (and everywhere else) it was called the Mega Drive. Get it right, people.

    The plot sounds horribly cliched, and the first few lines are even worse.

    It's like the description of a bad action movie. I am impressed with the length though. More than 25k words in the first chapter.

    Most people in the US probably haven't even heard the term Mega Drive for the Genesis (since Genesis was written write on the console) and probably haven't even heard of its predecessor the Master System.

    I think "Mega Drive" was already a copyrighted term in the US at the time, which is why they used Genesis.

    And then there was the Master Control Program. One Program to rule them all.

    Pfff. I remember getting Intellivision and thinking the graphics were jaw-dropping good.

    Hell, back then, they were jaw-dropping good.

    This is being posted not because of the summary which is fairly average, but because of the opening Author's Note.

    I'm just gonna leave this here for Shezza's imminent hilarious response. Also, that's literally three sentences into the first chapter.

    "Shezza" is a misleading name. ;)

    I'm 99% sure that in Sherlock (BBC series), Sherlock goes undercover as "Shezza" in that one episode.

    I didn't read it. I just noticed the Denarian thing, realized that a while back Shezza had some trouble with a plagerizer and was wondering if this was the same fic. Got through those 3 sentences and noped outta the fic pretty quickly.

    Wow, I got two people. Text coloring for the win?

    Although at this point I'm not sure if it's people joking or if they're genuinely confused about Shezza's gender.
