Playing on the Sega console

Plug in and play

If you’re a genuine gaming nerd you’ll know that the Sega Mega Drive was the first home console to successfully combine instantly addictive gameplay with gorgeous graphics and sound. In fact this legendary 16-bit wonder was so impressive it saved an entire generation of pixel-gawpers from a squandered childhood fumbling for change down the arcade.

Two controllers

You get two of these!

But if all this reminiscing is making you long for that dusty Mega Drive you flippantly flogged in order to buy a few Roxette albums and a tasselled leather jacket, fear not. Firebox is about to save the day with this ‘new’ improved version of Sega’s classic console. Simply plug it into the telly and you’re away.

Sonic the Hedgehog
It might be smaller than the original but the Sega Mega Drive Twin Player Console is preloaded with 15 Sega licensed games, including Sonic and Knuckles, Alex Kidd, Golden Axe and many more. Better still you can bung in all those old Mega Drive and Genesis cartridges that have been languishing in the loft. Indeed, this nifty region-muncher doesn’t care where your games originated.

Two controllers

Plug in your old games

We guarantee the memories will come flooding back the second you hear that jingly Sonic ditty and wrap your mitts around the reassuringly curvaceous joypads. It’s like the Noughties never happened. Confound that Dr Robotnik and his infernal Death Egg!

Although they’re knocking on a bit, most Mega Drive games are more than mere blip blop, ‘yeah, I remember that one’ five-minute wonders. They’re visually impressive, infuriatingly compelling adventures with genuine depth. Touchdown!

press review "For nostalgic gamers and anyone who missed out on playing Sonic when he was still king of consoles, this is a must-have. It's a miniaturised Mega Drive that comes preloaded with 15 classic games, including Golden Axe, Sonic and Knuckles and, er, Fatal Labyrinth. Maybe skip that last one."

visitor avatar Hi will this ever be back in stock again?
Stephen, UK - 22nd August 2010
Firebox says: Unfortunately this product has now been discontinued so it is unlikely - sorry.
visitor avatar Why cant this be delivered to other parts besides UK? Will there be any other option to bypass?
Christine, Malaysia - 26th March 2010
Firebox says: Unfortunately it is due to licensing restrictions so you will only be able to ship this to a UK address.
visitor avatar Will this work with an old multi-tap and 4 controllers? Mega Bomberman is not the same with only two players!
David P, Glasgow, Scotland - 10th March 2010
Firebox says: It's not designed for that David, sorry.
visitor avatar One of my oldest and greatest friends just bought one of these for me and I now refuse to leave the house until I complete Sonic. Could be some time. Amazing gift.
Matt, Cardiff - 28th February 2010
visitor avatar Hey firebox, any chance of getting a few of the classic game cartridges on sale on the website??
Adam, Northern Ireland - 27th February 2010
Firebox says: No plans at present, Adam.
visitor avatar Can you play Sega Mega Drive 2 games on this console?
Kirsty, Edinburgh - 18th February 2010
Firebox says: We believe so, but haven't actually tested it. If we're wrong, let us know at info@firebox.com
visitor avatar Found my old games when getting the Xmas decorations down, so bought one of these. While it does recognise all my cartridges (including my Japanese ones) the emulator seems to run at a reduced frequency, regardless of PAL/NTSC setting, so all games are sluggish, even the ones included on the hardware. The sound output is also only in mono (as opposed to the stereo on the original console) so audio is distorted too. Sure, it's fun to go back to the likes of Urban Strike again, but for forty notes I'm a little dissapointed.
Will, Melton Mowbray - 6th January 2010
visitor avatar OMG I can't believe you have this in... my boyfriend is going to go loopy for this xmas morning. Thanks Firefox :-))) Now I must navigate away from this site before I spend anymore money!!!
Maxine, UK - 11th December 2009
Firebox says: Stay...stay!
visitor avatar Can be shipped to Spain?
Maria, Seville (Spain) - 10th December 2009
Firebox says: Unfortunately not. Sorry.
visitor avatar I absolutley loved the product, the inbuilt games keep me entertained for hours on end (i reccomend fatal labyrinth for richest and lengthiest gameplay) It also handled my cartridges just fine, and takes a good firm grip on them. There was one problem, however, and that was that I just couldn't put it down!! :D 5*.
