The Sega Mega Drive is back, it's tiny, and it's yours for £39.99 + 15 classic games


Posted: Mon, 01/06/2009 - 5:06pm


For anyone who was a kid growing up in the early nineties needs no explanation of what the SEGA MEGADRIVE was. For everyone else, it was the first console to really take on the home computer, and deliver first class games to the nation.

Well it's back, it's a lot smaller, it's portable, it comes with a fantastic 15 games bundle. And if your thinking why would I want to play old fashioned games?
Well - you probably do it every day you play a game on your phone or the internet, only these are far more polished, and utterly playable.

The 15 preloaded Sega games:

  • Alex Kid - You guide Alex through eleven stages by fighting and avoiding enemies and obstacles. Alex can jump, kick, crawl or punch enemies, causing them to explode into gold coins, called Baums
  • Alien Storm - a side-scrolling beat 'em up game. You select from 3 different characters to embark upon a quest to save the Earth from an alien invasion
  • Altered Beast - a side scrolling, platform, beat 'em up game that puts you in control of a centurion who had died in battle
  • Arrow Flash - a multi-scrolling shooter game
  • Bonanza Bros. - a platform game where you take the role of one or both of the brothers, Robo and Mobo
  • Columns - a puzzle arcade game similar to Tetris
  • Crack Down - Using a top-down perspective (akin to Gauntlet), you control either Ben or Andy, a pair of agents charged with stopping mad scientist Mr. X from taking over the world
  • Decap Attack - You control a living mummy, named Chuck D. Head, through various side-scrolling levels in an effort to battle an underworld army led by Max D. Cap.
  • E Swat - a cyber police action game (Extra Special Weapons and Tactics)
  • Fatal Labyrinth - a nondescript hero that has agreed to enter a forbidden labyrinth, battling various monsters
  • Flicky - In the game, you control Flicky, a bird who has to save the Chirps, from housecats
  • Gain Ground - you control one of a set of characters at a time. There are twenty characters, each with different weapons
  • Golden Axe - a side-scrolling Conan the Barbarian-style game set in a fantasy medieval world
  • Shadow Dancer - an action game that's the sequel to a previous game called Shinobi
  • Sonic And Knuckles - a platform game where the story picks up from the ending of Sonic 3

As well as that, you can still play your old cartridges, so sneak back to your mums and dads house and go and blow some dust from your stored junk up in their loft.

Nostalgic gaming doesn't get any better than this.

You can buy the Sega Megadrive Twin Player Console online at Firebox
