Sega Mega Drive 6-in-1 Plug 'n' Play
Mini mega gaming marvel
Sorry, this product is not available.
Don't forget batteries!
Back in the early nineties if you'd have told a gaming geek that one day it would be possible to shoehorn Sonic The Hedgehog, Golden Axe, Kid Chameleon, Flicky, Altered Beast and Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine into a self-contained joystick that simply plugs into the telly, they would've said that was about as likely as Ross & Rachel getting togther in "Friends" and that thing called the "Internet" taking off.
Originally launched by Sega in 1989 UK for £190 (and that only included 1 game!), the Mega Drive was the 16-bit machine designed to take the place of Sega's successful Master System unit. However, sales floundered until Sega introduced Sonic The Hedgehog in 1991 and bundled the now-classic game free with the unit. The rest as they say, is history...
The Mega Drive caused a real stir in the home console market when it launched as it contained an impressive array of onboard hardware. Built around the 16-bit Motorola 68000 processor, the same chip that powered Apple's Macintosh, it was twice as fast the 8-bit chips used in other consoles around at the time.
The Mega Drive could display up to 64 colours on screen from a 512 colour pallette and featured a separate 8-bit processor dedicated to sound. All of this computing power translated into games with larger and more detailed characters, more complex graphics, faster action and a home games console that could finally compete with the coin-operated machines in the arcades.
As the name suggests, our new Sega Mega Drive 6-in-1 games unit crams six classic Mega Drive titles into one self-contained plug'n'play console complete with joypad. Just like our best-selling Atari and Namco Classics, this fabulous little box of gaming nostalgia plugs directly into your TV via handy AV cables, and it's so compact you can take it anywhere there's a TV on hand. Which is just about anywhere, let's face it. No swapping games cartridges over, no fuss.
As well buying you a trip down memory lane to a time long before the Xbox and PS2, the Megadive 6-in-1 features superb 16-bit graphics and fiendishly addictive gameplay; this is no ten minute wonder and we guarantee you'll be reaching for the Mega Drive 6-in-1 time and time again...
Featured Games
This bundle of six games and controller would have set you back nearly £300 back in the early nineties:
Sonic The Hedgehog
Once voted the World's Most Popular Computer Game, Sonic The Hedgehog was designed as Sega's answer to Nintendo's mascot Mario and was largely responsible for the success of the Mega Drive.
Golden Axe
The classic medieval swordfighting arcade beat-em-up.
Kid Chameleon
The sideways platform game featuring the hero with a split-personality.
Flicky
...Rescue the chickens from the cats!
Dr Robotniks Mean Bean Machine
Match the coloured beans before they pile up to the top of screen in this addictive puzzle game.
Altered Beast
The first ever Mega Drive game, Altered Beast was bundled free with the Mega Drive until Sonic The Hedgehog was launched in 1991.

"The console that turned a generation into button bashing couch potatoes is back, and you can now sloth out to Alex Kidd once more. Indulge your inner ten-year-old with the 15 classic games onboard, or use eBay skills to expand the library via the cartridge slow."Men's Health - Aug '09

A decent little contraption. It's great to be able to play the classics without having to own a big hulking Sega MegaDrive and all those cables and cartridges.
However it does have it's disappointments. Golden Axe, for example, is a great game, but it becomes a real killer when in 2 player co-op mode, but having no second gamepad nor a port to plug one into, this isn't possible. On top of that, the games seem to have been copied straight from a MegaDrive into this little thing, because Kid Chamelion even allows you to select 2 player mode, playing the game exactly as it would if you had launched a 2 player without a second controller.
Once you're over that, though, this thing is still great fun. If, like me, your love for the titles such as Golden Axe lie in the multiplayer, then don't bother, and for Sonic pick Sonic Mega Collection or even get a MegaDrive. If, on the other hand, you're a lone axeman and you enjoy to play these games by yourself, it's worth your money and will take up so much less space and cost less than a MegaDrive.Sam, Gloucestershire - 3rd August 2006
This is a very fun console with six great games.
Sonic the Hedgehog is the game that made Sega a legend. It has spawned countless sequels that are still being made and played today after 15 years.
Golden Axe is a very addictive game which will definitely keep you playing for hours.
Kid Chameleon is a brilliant game that I remember from my childhood. You are a young boy trapped in a video game who has a bizarre split-personality.
Flicky is possibly the most addictive game of the lot, very fun indeed. You must run around in a supermarket, gathering chicks before the cats get them.
Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine was good too, a lively puzzle game that will make time go by.
The last is Altered Beast, the first Megadrive game ever, which has even been remade on Playstation 2. It's a great little game, although a bit hard too.Dale White, UK - 16th February 2006
I spent VERY much money and time playing Golden Axe on the arcades. And later on the Amiga. It is still a good game the 6 in one is a good idea. IŽd say Golden, Altered beast and Bean Machine would have become even better if there was an extra controller. Definitely worth the money, A lot of hours of gaming fun!Lenny Blade, Sweden - 11th February 2006
This is the ultimate present for your man! It will make you look like you have searched for his ultimate gift! I got it for my boyfriend for Christmas and he never sees it when his friends come over. Lots of brownie points for me!!
Firebox is the thinking girls crumpet!Laura Smith, Liverpool - 9th February 2006
FANTASTIC - I love these old games, I have the new PSP system, but nothing beats Sonic the Hedgehog - me and my boyfriend fight over it. Great for taking to mates houses- no one can refuse a go!Becky, Devon - 5th February 2006
I adored this console and believe this shows up todays machines mind numbing violence orientated games.
Who needs a damn PS2?
SEGA FOREVER!!!!!!!!David, Romsey - 3rd November 2005
Found a mini catalouge in a magazine and saw it, couldnt resist. Sonic is more entertaining than the latest games like GTA. Still can't complete it though. :(Neil, Portsmouth - 18th February 2005
This is top notch! Absolute classic retro gameing. Dr. Robotniks Mean Bean Machine is a hidden gem for those of you who don't know it, especially addictive! A must have piece of kit.Paul Craig, Edinburgh - 26th January 2005
This is one of the greatest pieces of technology. I still have the Mega Drive in good working order and all Sonic games, so I only bought this for Flicky, Kid Chameleon, Golden Axe and Altered Beast. These foir games are absolutely brilliant and truely are direct ports. One thing I have against this is the sound, I would much rather dig up my Mega Drive and play Sonic 1 on that than play it on this. Mega Drive was never known for its sound but listening to Sonic 1 is painful. Other than that a piece of genius.Benjamin Griffiths, UK - 19th January 2005
Fantastic! Its cheap, easy to transport and store and so much fun! I got it for my boyfriend as a christmas present and we ended up fighting over it. I've got my own now. I never heard of flicky before and first impressions were that is was crap, now however I have found how addictive it is and cant put it down. This is a definate must have for anyone and everyone!Laura, abersoch, north wales - 7th January 2005
