Mega Drive TV game thing

Post by P.P.A. »

Look what I stumbled upon while browsing Play-Asia!

It can actually play original cartridges and has controller ports. Nice. If I didn't have a functioning MD2/MCD2/32X setup I'd get it.

I knew they'd find a way to make it even smaller. Now they should try doing this with the Dreamcast, PSone, PStwo, GameCube and other disc-based systems to make them the size of portable CD players (or smaller in GC's case). Oh, and they need to shrink down the XBox.

...but this is really getting to be pointlessly tiny now...

I love stuff like this. Is there any way to use one in the UK, what with all the plug socket and voltage issues?

I've seen several of these on eBay. Too bad they don't sell all that well. It's a pretty neat concept.

I'm gonna guess you can't use the Sega CD with this, huh? I'd get it if it did...my old Genesis is beaten up to the point of obsolete.

Hmm. The description reminded me of this buggy piece of shit handheld that keeps resetting itself that Tectoy released, and now that I look, not only was there a "localized" black version released, but those two and this Twin Pad thing have almost the exact same 20 games. The portable ones just switched Spinball for Ristar.

And coming full circle, AtGames is Tectoy's business partner. That, er...makes me wonder about how well the Twin Pad runs...
