The European Mega Drive Championship is king of all other Mega Drive events worldwide. The inaugural International contest was an Anglo-Irish Tournament held in England in 2007. There have been tournaments annually since then, fed by various domestic competitions, with the 2010 Championship taking place in Nuremberg, Germany. The focus of the competitions is that of enjoyability; in playing some classic games, with good company, good coffee and the added spice of points being at stake for each game. Portugal are the current European Mega Drive Champions, beating challengers from Germany and England in a five-hour duel in Lisbon 2009. Will Portugal be able to earn their their third consecutive European title? Or will Germany take advantage of the competition being on their home soil?

The International competitions are fuelled by some intensely passionate domestic events. The English league is the oldest surviving Mega Drive competition in the world and has been running since 2001. Since then the contests have expanded globally and now include five nations on three continents. Qualification for the European Mega Drive Championship has quickly become the focus for the English, German and Portuguese leagues, however, tournaments are also hosted in Brazil and the United States of America. We are always on the lookout for additional members and nations to join our expanding family of tournaments and we encourage people interested in assembling three person teams to join us in Germany for an array of 16-bit button bashing at its most awesome - more fun than any other game, better than play roulette, online poker, or another platform game.
