Playing Away

Those of you that follow the blog and our Twitter feed may have noticed a recent tweet about a tiny Mega Drive.

And here she is. The mini Mega Drive! #playingaway twitter.com/UCHG2008/statu…

The more eagle eyed of you will notice that this little bad boy also wears a Sonic the Hedgehog badge. This implies that it is limited to playing only the games of the Hedgehog known as Sonic. This is a lie. Not only are you able to play some serious Hedgehog based games with Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic Spinball and Sonic 3D Blast. You can also play Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle!

I make that five perfectly playable games all packed into one easy to carry package. What more could you want? The Mini Mega Drive is also a doddle to connect up. So long as the TV has S-video and phono audio connections it’s game on. The simplicity of the set up coupled with the large screen gaming all help to bring home that “playing with yourself” in the living room experience, even if you are in a hotel room in Croydon.

So the next time you go away make sure you take something to play!
