Megadrive Handheld Available Now
Paul Street | July 18, 2008
20 Games on one device for £29.99 ($59.25) , It’s the Deal of the Summer
I never saw this coming but that doesn’t make it any less awesome. Doncaster (UK) based company Blaze have created a handheld Megadrive which comes with 20 classic games built in for your playing pleasure. It even plugs into your TV apparently. Sporting a classic Megadrive D-Pad and A,B,C button layout it’s hard for a long time Sega fan such as myself not to fall in love with this thing, even if claims by Blaze that this is the first handheld Megadrive are completely unfounded. Anyone remember the Sega Nomad?
The full list of games included on the device is as follows:
You can buy it from http://www.segaretro.net/ for the price of £29.99 or $59.25 for our American friends. You guys will just have to put up with it being called Megadrive instead of Genesis.

Wow, cool.
After all this time… now two new Megardrives come out in the same month! (The other one being the Player that you already announced: http://www.tssznews.com/2008/06/10/new-officially-licensed-sega-mega-drive-player/ ) In fact, the list of built in games for the two seem identical, though with the Player you can use original Megadrive Cartriges but you have to use a TV.
