--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Peripheral manufacturer Blaze is to revive the best-selling, once dominant Sega Mega Drive games console.

The new machine will be released as a handheld and will come bundled with 20 titles built in for £29.99.

Among the classic games supplied with the unit will be Sonic And Knuckles, Ecco The Dolphin, Golden Axe, Kid Chameleon, Shinobi, Alex Kidd, Altered Beast, Alien Storm and Enchanted Castle.

The handheld, which will launch this month, can also be connected to a TV set using a cable included.

A Blaze statement reads: “If you missed playing Sega Mega Drive classics such as Sonic And Knuckles, Golden Axe, Shinobi and Ecco The Dolphin, you now have a chance to do so again and all for the price of a single Nintendo DS game.”

This reeks a lot of what TecToy did back in December, down to the selection of games. Could it be the same handheld? If it is, that's bad news, as it powers off at times for no reason.

My Genesis would work fine if I could find a working RF switch for it. O_o

Yeah, it became harder and harder to find that kind of switch!

I don't have a new and fancy TV, so I use RF switches for all of my consoles, except for the box with the x. I think I have 2 or 3 for Genny, now that I think of it.
