    Behold… the new Sega home console!

    By Stephen Munn | June 8, 2008

    Everything old is new again. Play-Asia is showing off this new home console system, the AtGames MegaDrive Twin Pad Player. For those who grew up playing the Genesis and don’t know, “MegaDrive” is what the system was called everywhere else in the world. What’s significant about this is the device is not only officially sanctioned by Sega, but is capable of playing cartridges designed not only for the MegaDrive, but also the Genesis. Region-free, that means.

    What’s more, at just shy of $40, the system can be had for very little money, and the included six-button controller is pretty damn sexy. Note that these images are a preliminary design and subject to change. Colors shown are black, green, and blue.

    Going by the ports shown in the images, it appears we can use our existing controllers… assuming they still work. What, no wireless? See, I’m never satisfied. Anyway, I’ll be watching for the launch of this next month. I may just have to pick one up, particularly if it supports at least S-Video, which the original system could not do without a serious mod. Read on to see the controller, and a larger image of the system, as well as a list of the games that come built right into the system. Yeah, you heard me right.

Further included in the package are two six-button joypads, AV cable and instructions sheet.
