My new Megadrive
computers, ooh shiny, retro August 16th. 2008, 9:31amPlay Asia started selling these recently. They look like a Megadrive variant of the many Famicom “famiclones” out there, but they’re not – they’re officially licenced by Sega! And they’re really cheap too, coming in at under ¬¨¬£20. You get 20 games built into the unit, but it also has a cartridge slot to play original (and forthcoming re-released) cartridges. I tested it with quite a few games of varying geographic origin, and aside from the UK version of Street Fighter II SCE crashing, I didn’t have any problems.
- Yes, it’s a box.
- All 20 of them
- It is very wee
- Avec flash
- Sans flash
- Where things plug in
- A cartridge slot, of course.
- There are 20 games in total
- Best. Game. Evar.
- The Great Waldo Search is rubbish
- Can you see him?
- Round One, Fight!
- Tatsumaki senpuu kyaku!
- Hex FTW
- Japanese Ghostbusters, actually.
- Title screen
Anyway, if you want one, get thee over to Play Asia. They even come in green and blue!

Cool!
I’ve still got my old SNES and N64 but never got around to picking up a megadrive
On the shopping list! (SNES version of SF is better in my opinion though!)
