Play 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.

Sometimes there are things that just need to escape my head.
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!)
