I quite like your plan so far. All for getting the research as well as Micheal Jackson option. Will probably hold off on voting until the development part is done.
So go with the "Mega Tech Mark II" for arcades or one of the Multipacks?
...Kinda want to vote for the Mega Tech Mark II option personally.
Either way can unlock a permanent perk.
I'm honestly hoping for the possibility of us actually working with Sony if the opportunity still presents itself.

That is a potential backup plan if things dont diverge too much. Ideally plan a is to do well enough to stand on our own, but plan b is if nintendo has the OTL split with sony to try and grab them for building the next generation. But with several years before that happens in quest things might change.
Yeah both are interesting options, and while I am keeping an eye down the road we also probably want to account for how things are perceived right now. And more arcade crossover is going to make the SEGA heads happy given how important that is at least in JP.

So would taking Mega Tech Mark II then be a good ideal or just go for waiting for a better opportunity?
Honestly I'm unsure as it's been a long while since I was ever personally at a arcade. Meanwhile there's also the multipack and possibly convincing third parties to also add. I'm indecisive on this right now let alone figuring out games to include in the multipack if it's chosen.
Not sure what other people's thoughts on which to prefer would be...
Also a side note, but this has reminded me of the SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics over on Steam. One of those things I forget I even have in my steam library.

Yeah I would love to hear others opinions as both seem to be good.

Want to say it's currently leaning twords Mega Tech Mark II so far. Suppose have to wait and see if anyone else during the time the votes open for comments on the matter.

If i dont hear anything from others right now the mentions have been for mega tech mark II so that would be the add in.
Multipack could be beneficial in the future when it becomes possible to re-sell less successful games by bundling them with popular titles. However, at the present time, there are not many games available for the console yet, so there is not much value in offering a multipack.

My big thought on including the Master Base, and 4Play adapter into the base unit is that the already OG Genesis brick is about to become a Chonky block. And won't revert to a smaller brick until technology slims down... So OTLs 95-96 Mini Geni. The upscaler releasing a year ahead of schedule won't help with block appearance. But would put Nintendo on the back foot of us already being capable of 32 bit about the time they release their 16 bit answer to our current console.
... Also watch Nintendo change the OTL Super to a 4 player because we've already shown that 4Play significantly expands the available library. Heck, they'll probably delay Super Famicom/NES just to release a 32 bit capable system in an attempt to jump ahead of us. Only to release two or so years to late. Well, unless they actually had 4D chess brains back then... then their Super might be 32 bit from the start, and could release simultaneously with ours.
{Edit}The sheer change to the Gaming scene that's going to be with us already being 32 bit by 91, and a not insignificant chance of Nintendo trying to jump ahead to match us. Capcom's Mega Man 6 and 7, plus Mega Man X would/are going to be seriously different. For 16 bit games that stand out in my memory.

As a lifelong fan of Mega Man X4, I do wonder just how impressive the 2D Sprites would look in 64 bit. Like, Mischief Makers looked stunning enough; but yo imagine just how well animated the game would be by 1997 if we go that route.
I would personally love for it to be like "Sony Playstation is the next evolution in 3D Technology, Nintendo 64 is the next evolution in 3D control, but Sega Saturn is the next evolution for games that look and play beautifully even in 2D" but we'll see how the dice rolls. I do want someone to vote "release Sega games on other consoles" because they technically already did that in OTL. There were a lot of games from Sega that were converted into PC-Engine games, as well as the unlicensed Tengen games based on the Famicom adaptations; and of course the Sega PC thing. There is also a theory.
The PS1 was already stacked with JRPGs. Imagine how much more stacked it could be with Panzer Dragoon Saga.

Was the TurboGrafx-16 really that big in the US and Europe? I grew up in Asia, so I honestly have zero idea.
For some odd, inexplicable reason (because I actually have no first-hand experience with them), I'm also fiercely hoping that the Mega CD and 32X will succeed in this timeline.

Oh hell no. Over here it was all Genesis and SNES. The TurboGraphx-16 barely was even a blip in America; and it wasn't even released in Europe at all.
On a more personal note, I'd love to learn Asian languages. Do you mind DMing me to that effect?

Yeah, I agree that voting for the Mega Tech Mark II to also be available for arcades would be the better option.

August was an absolute stunner of a first month. Let's keep that momentum going.
As of this month: Super Thunder Blade, Gauntlet, and Shinobi the Arcade Game each have 5 rolls, while Tommy Lasorda Baseball, Super Sloppy Double dare, Finder's Keepers, and Thunder Force II each have six. In addition, Fist of the North Star, Skate or Die!, World Championship Soccer and Hey Dude start with seven rolls due to the implementation of the Mega Tech Mark II Development Plan.
In addition, the Sega Genesis itself will be rolling 8 dice.
Rolls will be executed shortly.

Rolling for Sega Genesis
Edit: I keep making flubs like this. Okay, so in the future, when user errors like this come up, please understand that I'm being stupid with my dice rolls and not paying attention.
That said, due to Game Center Relevancy; Roadblasters, Shinobi Arcade, and Super Thunder Blade have gained one extra die that has nothing to do with me not paying attention.
