I think there was a small monthly subscription. If I had my Super Play magazines here, I'd look it up.

Yes you had to pay a subscription fee but beyond that and the cost of the Satellaview unit (14,000yen or about £70) all downloads were free. You could also buy extra flash carts to store more games on for £20. There were 20 games broadcast for the system between 1995 and 2000.

CDX! Like a Wondermega, but with the capability to act as a personal cd player. If you can fit it in your pocket, that is.

The Mega PC- a 386 and Mega Drive in one. 25mhz, 1mb of ram, 40mb hard drive. Sadly, you couldn't play Mega Drive games at the same time as using the PC functionality, as it only had one video output.

Mega Jet, a portable Mega Drive. Except for the fatal flaw that it cannot be used without an AC adaptor, and has no screen. :rolleyes: :p

Any one still got the little black hints book that comes with it ?

Think I’ve even got the manual for it kicking about. :eek:

Bravo! I take my hat of to you mate, for keeping that SNES in perfect condition :) Wish I still had my SNES box :(

I'm not doing anything today, might invite a few mates for some SNES nostalgia :p

Edit: Some of these games really do need a hint of anti-aliasing and anisostropic filtering :p

I really wanted one of those! My Dad wouldn't get it for me as a Christmas present because he said it would be rubbish... he was most probably right. But still, a console that could play films on disc! What an inovation.
 
Great thread. Love the old retro consoles. ;)

Anyone have the Sega 32x here?

They were made for airlines I think,

So you could play Mega Drive games in the Air, very rare!

Edit:

More information from Wiki...

The Sega Mega Jet was a handheld version of the Mega Drive video game console. It was rented for use aboard Japan Airlines flights.

he device lacked its own screen but could play Mega Drive cartridges when connected to a small armrest monitor used on JAL flights. The unit featured a directional pad on the left side and six buttons on the right, similar to the layout of a game controller. There was a second joypad port on the bottom of the Mega Jet for multiplayer games.

A consumer version of Mega Jet was released by Sega of Japan on March 10, 1994 at the cost of US$123. It was essentially the same as the unit that was used on JAL flights, meaning that it still lacked a screen and couldn't be powered without an AC adapter. Other than the addition of a mono DIN plug cord and the necessary AC adapter, no other additions or improvements were made. Ergonomically, the Sega Mega Jet was a failure.
