Just wish there was a proper decent handheld to play MD games. One that doesn't cost Nomad prices.

Everyone I knew at school had an Amiga and just 1 with an ST. He invited me over for a go and from then on we spent many happy months working our way through Pirates! Must have been 10 years or so when I bumped into him and he still had the save disk stashed away!

will sell out in 5 minutes and they won't restock for 4/5 months. Awful company to buy things from.

Was obsessed with this as a teen and picked one up in a local toy shop. After taking it into school about 5 or 6 were picked up by classmates and we used to play the things to death. Trading all sorts of cards and tips. Really was amazing fun.

urgh shame its on Strictly Limited Games. Won't be buying a copy.

@FPGAguru you can fit them in Saturns?

Just a shame you can't buy the games, always sold out.

@PZT speak for yourself. I plan to live forever.

@PZT its pretty easy to open cases on things like this and set a few small weights inside from ebay to balance stuff out.

wonderful news.

Biggest question is if they will be actually able to provide stock. Still waiting on December cart preorders with no end in sight.

Picked up his new book at the weekend, really good read.

Any news on what happened with this? Can't find anything on it past this article.

@slider1983 it's being worked on over at the Dreamcast Talk forums. They've got past many issues of translating artwork and seemed to have done wonders so far. Looks like its well on its way.

so bizarre how there's zero actual footage of one in action.

@ItsAlwaysSunnyyy for which ones? NES, SNES, N64 and GC didn't have any real sort of online services like the DC did.

Getting to the point where I'd be worried even turning this thing on these days! So expensive.

@Martin_H it's £24.99 not £30.

@NinChocolate think that was a one off so all done.

Looks like a lot of fun!

I hate Windows 11 and can't wait to move away to SteamOS.

@Aiodensghost Blaze aren't some big international company and if it wasn't for the likes of Amazon there'd be no presence in the US. If people stop buying the carts they will stop offering them at all.

Very handy, thanks for this!

@wiiware because its easy to have it all tucked away nicely under the TV on the Xbox with achievements, saves and pretty good emulation.

does this system actually exist? See very little about it beyond the initial reviews and always seems to be out of stock.

sold out everywhere. Bit of a pointless system if no one can ever buy it!

Does anyone know who created Enduro Racer on the Master System? Its my all time fav game for it but no one knows anything about it.

Good on them! Wish more companies did this.

Looks good and I'd be tempted but $30 is just too much for a basic digital copy. That's probably why it's not reaching it goal.

@MegaManFan buy an old cheap laptop off Facebook marketplace and save it for things like this.

Amazing story!

Maybe something for Evercade?

@Boogly would the DC be able to recognise the larger size?

@KingMike well you can't run either system without a Genesis/Mega Drive.

Any more news on this?

@Yousef- this is a gaming magazine, not a comic.

Amazing work!

@Poodlestargenerica not everyone likes the same things.

What a joke of a company. Everyone should just avoid them.

@vicviper001 I always found the best way to deal with Pi's is clone the SD card once you have a decent working setup. Then you can just fall back on that if it falls over.

@Poodlestargenerica all about the marketing execs, so long as it was bigger, better and prettier than their competition to stand out in stores/media.

@Poodlestargenerica they were simply trying to make it look better than Tetris which was selling loads.

@KitsuneNight reminds me of Analogue. Completely underestimating demand.

@Damo Is it because of the Lucozade bottles?

@Tasuki license fees would be astronomical for such small production runs. Cost more than they'd be able to make in profit.

@Mrakey Well worth getting a PS1 emulator and going back to it that way. Wish it was on the likes of GoG.

Sadly this seems to have been discontinued and you can only buy it for mega prices on ebay. Quick look this morning and its close to £200 on some auctions!

Amazing story and a heroic effort. DC will always be my fav launch console, I sold an arm and a leg to buy the Game launch day pack with every title released. Even ended up with some awful titles but man what an amazing time, weeks exploring the new catalogue.

@Poodlestargenerica Well they did in a way with the MD modem and Sega Channel.

I think there might have been problems getting an Amiga license for carts at the time because of legal battles between 2 Amiga companies. Probably easier for Blaze to go for the console versions and then when the legal stuff was sorted they released some Amiga games.
