These things are utterly terrible. Buyer beware. It makes all the totally unlicenced clones look marvellous. the sound on the this Atgames/Blaze unit is plain broken and the video isn't much better.
you wanted 6 action button controllers that work with the original mega drive? /
\/
wanted stereo sound that is properly emulated and in perfect sync with the video?
\ /
/ \
wanted full compatibility with all cartridges?
\ /
/ \
conclusion, this system is shit. with all of todays technology and they can't even make a high quality megadrive. inexcusable. but what do we expect for less than 50 quid these days.
@3headedHelldog Agreed, it's an unfortunate truth. Though you could pick up an original Mega Drive in good working order for a fraction of the cost, it'd be nice if they at least gave a little value for money. Though it's like they just don't care.
@ItsTheRadium "Though it's like they just don't care."
well they're idiots then, since we have youtube to show the world just how bad their product is they're only shooting themselves and their business in the foot for selling this garbage. they'd make even more money if they were honest for once. "ticks all the right boxes" they should get sued for false advertising.
@ChrisRockSteady This little thing's a lot more here, more along the lines of 31 quid. So much more of a rip off when you're paying almost twice as much for it. But 17, that's a good price for it.
@ItsTheRadium yeah agreed, i wudn't pay over 20 quid, i did a bit of looking around on the web for the best price though lol even got free delievery from play.co.uk
Too bad the sound is trash though. The portable version, either the Genmobile or the Retrogen (which I own) is pretty awesome for the sole fact that I can play all my favorite Genesis games where ever I want. I don't think I would buy the console version of this system though.
I got this today, and the biggest problem I have with it is that some of the games you put into the cartridge slot have graphical glitches. While with some games it's only minor and doesn't cause any problems, with others they can actually get in the way of gameplay. (And I swear it's not my cartridges, they don't have that problem when I play them on my original Mega Drive, or my Mega Drive Mark II for that matter.)
@katakisLives I tried Virtua Racing in my Retrogen when I first got it and sadly the result is the same as trying to play the game on a Genesis 3. Game Genie, Gargoyles, Turrican, and Toy Story (At least it works up until the level "Really Inside The Claw Machine". The game crashes at this point) also won't work on this unit. However I totally suggest picking up a Retrogen or a Genmobile because A. They're both portable and B. they still play 95% of the Genesis/Megadrive library. FTW!!
hahahhaha best intro ever!

What, no stereo sound?! Looks like I will still have to Mod an original console - will get way more features that way anyway...

The first thing I would do if I bought this console is I would slot in my Virtua racing cartridge and see if it works!
