AT Games Arcade Classic Sega Mega Drive Flashback Wireless Mini HD Console EU (Electronic Games)

This is a great machine. Works perfectly with my old Megadrive cartridges. We do have an old original Megadrive, which does not work well with new TVs, hence why we purchased this. This has a much better picture than the old Megadrive, and runs smoothly. 100% recommended if you want to tap into the that nostalgia vibe.

After playing the previous Atgames Mega Drive in Hawkins Bazaar only a few days previous to getting this, I was unsure as to ordering it or not. If you don't know, the previous Atgames Mega Drive [81 games and Wired Controllers, no HD version] was not the best. It felt awfully cheap and tacky, worse than this one, had terrible slowdown on music and sounds in the games and as it had no HD, only AV, it looked disgusting on a HD TV so you really needed an old CRT TV to escape the blurred vision. It also had about 40 'fake' games inbuilt which were.....awful..This version however, corrects a lot of those issues. First off its HD and comes with the HDMI lead so problem solved visually. You can even turn scanlines on/off for a more authentic look on games if you wish. Secondly it actually looks like a Mega Drive, and although it still feels cheap and light it is the best looking version so far. The pads are light and not the best, but they function well will no lag unlike the previous Atgames wireless Mega Drives!Unfortunately it comes [well mine did] with a European power supply so you will need an adaptor [I used my shaving adaptor with no issues] and also it does not have an SD card slot on the side like some reviews have said it does, I even saw one on Youtube showing this off....which makes me think there are 2 versions of this....but they are not labelled differently in any way which is VERY odd...Onto the games, they all work fine with seemingly no lag, glitches or slowdown [the only one i had a bit of issues with in terms of response time was Chakan] which is great. The choice of games is so-so though. It includes Sonic 1, 2, Sonic and Knuckles, Sonic 3D along with a few 'additional' sonic games from the Game Gear, but does not include Sonic 3 oddly... The Golden Axe trilogy is here as well as the first 4 Phantasy Stars and 3 Shining games which means RPG goodness is here to be found. Again though, this is countered by some glaring omissions such as Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition, Rock'n'Roll Racing and the Streets of Rage trilogy meaning some of the very best games on the console are not here, and with no expansion port to loads your own ROMs, if you want to play these games on your console you will have to fork out literally hundreds of pounds on ebay...not ideal! We do get Mortal Kombats 1-3 and Eternal Champions [which is still very hard all these years later!] aswell as the stylish Comix Zone too. You do get a chunk of the typical Atgames Master System games too which inlcude the still highly playable Alex Kidd in Miracle World and The Ninja.All in all it is generally very good, mainly hindered by the fact some of the best games on the console are not here, but people who own the SNES mini could same the same thing and they have no way to play additional games on those at all... I wouldn't pay the £80 though, it a bit steep for its cheapy feeling [mine was £45], but its all a matter of opinion really... You can have 2 player fun on lots of the games and it reminds us of how far games have come since the Mega Drives era so it is worth a bash in my eyes!

Console arrived with UK power cable which other people stated they got European power cable. Easy to hook up. At the moment haven't been able to get the controllers to work but have only gave it a quick try and it was close to my router which may have interfered with the controllers. Will be 5 stars if the controllers work.Update.Controllers don't work have been intouch with menkind but haven't had a response other than automated system. Looks like it will be getting returned for a refund if I don't get a response soon.Sending back for refund, even though it's menkind selling through Amazon they claim item has nothing to do with them even though when you click contact seller you get an automated message from menkind not Amazon.

Excellent retro console with the added benefit of HD and wireless controllers. Dead easy to set up by connecting to the HDMI port. Haven't tried any cartridge games in it yet but with 85 built in, it's going to be a while before I get around to it.

Upon opening and checking off the products enclosed,I found no power adaptor so have had to folk out for a replacement. Not a happy bunny!

Better buy the original version. Garanted is has a couple of good games but thats it. It does not play al old cartridges. Relatively good quality however too expensive for what it is

This product is what we expected. My daughter got it as part of her Christmas & is delighted with it. I had read some reviews saying the wireless controllers were poor but this is certainly not our experience, we have had no issues with either the controller's or the console. My daughter says she likes the retro console better than the modern ones.

love this little machine, old school for the new generation. Small, light in weigh, and HDMI cable instead of a scart lead cable, with 85 build in games and you can still play the old game cartridges. great console, love it.
