New ‘Sega MegaDrive’ revealed

Blaze is to release a ‘new’ version of Sega’s classic Megadrive console, complete with 15 games built in.

According to the hardware’s creator, it will also play all old MegaDrive cartridges from all regions.

The console ‘plugs and play’s into any TV. Play.com lists the item for £37.99, down from £39.99.

The system is due for launch in April and contains built-in games including Alex Kid, Alien Storm, Altered Beast, Arrow Flash, Bonanza Bros., Columns, Crack Down, Decap Attack, E Swat, Fatal Labyrinth, Flicky, Gain Ground, Golden Axe, Shadow Dancer and Sonic And Knuckles.

Blaze made a name for itself last year by releasing a handheld console that played old MegaDrive games.
