PRESS REVIEWS

"Inexorable proof that old things are, in fact, brilliant."
NME - May '09
"Top graphics and complicated gameplay it ain't, but sometimes the oldies really are the best..."
What Mobile - May '09
"For nostalgic gamers and anyone who missed out on playing Sonic when he was still king of consoles, this is a must-have. It's a miniaturised Mega Drive that comes preloaded with 15 classic games, including Golden Axe, Sonic and Knuckles and, er, Fatal Labyrinth. Maybe skip that last one."
MSN Tech & Gadgets - May '09
"Retro gamers will be thrilled to reconnect with this twin-player console and its fashionably dated 1990s games."

This has been out for a while hasn't it? Im sure I've seen them mentioned on here before and on sale in a popular high street game shop?
 
I've seen that in the shops many a time. :confused:

I do like how it plays cartridges aswell but I don't think I feel like paying £39.99 for it though.
 
Sad, Sega should have signed up a deal with Apple, Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo to allow their games to be played on one of their machines.

Its pointless to buy a console with old games which are suitable for portable gaming nowadays.

They have. They develop games for all platforms. Or did you mean have cartridge slot on the console? lol that would be so weird.

Surely for that price, it'd be easier just to bay a console and a shed load of games? :confused:

The thing is though, this is a new fully working system. Buying a used mega drive might not last long. Since mega drives are no longer in production, they probably don't have much life left in them before they break. Thats how I see it.
 
I think I've seen these in the high street unless it's a different version. It's a good idea but I think for £40 I would prefer an original megadrive and a few games. I surpose it wouldn't really matter what connections it has for the TV as the resolution is going to look huge anyway on a modern TV.
 
Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection is surely a better idea than forking out for a new console?

Didn't you realize Megadrives never break and last eternity? :D

I have overdosed on Megadrives from carboots due to people not being prepared to sell the games separate and they all work. :eek: I may start giving a few away to retro fans on OcUK. I also have way to many Master System 2s.

Some people prefer a more authentic feeling while playing classics.
 
I have an original megadrive but lost the cable for the tv. :\

Got a few games, will see what I have left when I get home today. I've got a master system aswell, I love playing lemmings on that thing. :p
 
I recall reading that the build quality on these is shoddy (often break) and the controllers are pretty bad. Just a heads up if you're thinking of buying it ;).
 
From what I've read, these pieces of kit aren't that great. Shoddily made controller for starters, and apparently games are emulated on it meaning some titles don't work properly.

I went for the genuine article instead. Picked up a Mega Drive II in perfect condition on eBay, complete with box, manuals, all cables, two controllers etc and a few games for £30ish.

I also stumbled upon a backstreet gaming shop in Cambridge that has LOADS of Megadrive titles for 50p each. Can't go wrong at that price! :D
