Was only thinking about this the other day, how big the games industry is there isn't any programmes on TV dedicated to the medium. Its about time the industry got the recognition it deserves.
@SpaceboyScreams im with you mate, it seems every game has to be tweaked messed around with then spoilt. Starfox snes, Starfox 64 were pure gold for rail shooter fans. Just give us more of that with new epic levels and boss battles. Simple as that really, if it ain't broke dont fix it.
Totally agree, I have a PC Engine Duo R, with a great selection of Hu cards and CD roms. But collecting ain't cheap. Personally i hardly use it because I value it so much. I have a raspberry pi setup with amazing Engine emulation. So not stressing the original tech.
Looks great, but the price puts me off. Also I own all the original tech, Retron 5, Retro trio 3, Raspberry pi setups which are fantastic. Pandoras box. So I'm covered really.
This looks a great piece of kit, but the price puts me off. Also I own every system it emulates, and I have a Retron 5, Retro Trio+ and now I have various raspberry pie setups which are amazing by the way. I'm a hard-core retro gamer, but using the real tech I'm worried they will break down. So I use emulation a lot nowadays to preserve these amazing machines.
An acquired taste, the PC Engine is one of the greatest consoles ever. God, Lords of Thunder alone is reason to own one. Some of the best shooters ever are on this system.
Yes a fantastic read, will always love the Atari of old there arcade titles are stuff of legend. Regardless of BIG!! Mistakes. Another unfortunate casualty of the videogame crash was the Vectrex what a system, but that's a different story.
I own the Asteroids 1up cab I bought from very.com. but looks like we wont be getting anything else over here in the UK. Obviously the States get all the love like the starwars cab etc. But trying to import these things over would cost a fortune in postage I've looked into it.
Not sure this system will ever come out. Looks brilliant but the price is pretty high. I have the original consoles a Retron 5, Retro Trio 3, Raspberry pi tech for my retro needs. Still I will keep an on this.
Yes I have Raspberry pi 3B setup as well. Again something’s run great some don’t but great bit of kit worth getting for the price. I also have a Retron 5 for my console stuff as well. Again great but iffy with megadrive games some seem to freeze for some reason. SNES GBA is flawless though.
Yes mate also have Pandora’s 9D performance no better. But 2500 games on board this baby including megadrive and SNES game’s. Streets of rage 1,2,3 final fight, contra hard corps. Plus a few more classic arcade games.
Cheers mate yes it’s a great bit of kit. Looking forward to when 3A games release the next Pandora’s box, supposedly they are working on it. There aim is to get Killer Instinct 1/2 arcade running full speed. Pandora’s 6 isn’t powerful enough to run it.
Hi mate the emulation is good for the games you mentioned. Some games are terrible. But with 600 games to play the good outweighs the bad. Capcom Neo stuff run really well. Let me know what else interests you I will test and let you know for sure👍🏻
I own the twin stick Pandora’s box 6 a beast like this. But loads more games on board including Dungeons and dragons. Plus mine has fully lit buttons when powered up. And the pcbs in this unit are interchangeable so when the next Pandora’s box comes out I will swap out.
Absolutely love the Engine I the have Duo R model, this system is the the king of shooters. The PC Engine and Sharp x68000 are the two most incredible systems ever which only had the success they deserved in Japan. But that's what makes them even more special and desirable.
Should have more light gun games this gen, but I expect the masses would moan!! It's not open world, its not online, it's on rails. But some of us love these type of games.
This article has scared me to death, with all my precious retro kit and what could happen to them. I Have my systems in a converted side unit with doors so they are protected from dust and light. I’m almost to scared to use em now 😫luckily I have a Retron 5 so I use that a lot. But maybe it’s time to invest in NT and SG hardware.
This looks and sounds amazing, I have the original hardware Megadrive/ MCD, original SNES. But this would be great to run on modern TVs. The 16bit era to me will always be the best era of gaming no matter how advanced gaming gets.

Re: Hardware Review: Analogue Mega Sg: Forget The Mega Drive Mini, This Is The Real Deal
This looks and sounds amazing, I have the original hardware Megadrive/ MCD, original SNES. But this would be great to run on modern TVs. The 16bit era to me will always be the best era of gaming no matter how advanced gaming gets.
Re: Analogue Mega Sg To Feature Unreleased Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Game
This looks brilliant so tempted now, I have the original tech a megadrive with mega cd, and a Retron 5. But this tech looks great.
