Do you still have some SEGA Genesis or Mega Drive cartridges in your closet? You will soon be able to break them out and use them on a retro revival of the SEGA Genesis and SEGA Mega Drive systems. These new hardware systems are licensed from SEGA by AtGames. The Mega Drive version has already been released in Europe and the North America SEGA Genesis "Firecore" version should be out soon.

What's included in the $49.99 MSRP (£39.99 in UK) bundle are: cartridge system, two controllers, AV cable, AC adapter and instructions. The systems are also pre-loaded with games.

The SEGA Mega Drive system (UK), distributed by Blaze, includes 15 games:
Sonic & Knuckles, Golden Axe, Alex Kidd, Alien Storm, Altered Beast, Arrow Flash, Columns, CrackDown, Decap Attack, Eswat, Flicky, Gain Ground, Bonanza Bros and Fatal Labyrinth.

The SEGA Genesis Firecore system (US), distributed by Innex, includes 20 games, of which Sonic and Knuckles, Ecco and Sonic Spinball are confirmed.

The SEGA Genesis Firecore has a built-in IR receiver, for use with some wireless controllers that are sold separately. The Firecore will be distributed in the US by Innex. Innex notes that the SEGA Genesis Firecore Classic Console will support true color technology, allowing support of newly developed games.

SEGA gave AtGames the exclusive rights to sell SEGA game products, which includes: SEGA Master System, SEGA GAME GEAR, SEGA GENESIS (MEGA DRIVE) System, SEGA SATURN System, SEGA 32X, SEGA CD and SEGA Dreamcast System. Yes, the Dreamcast system. Maybe we will be seeing a revival of the SEGA Dreamcast sometime soon from AtGames. Happy Birthday, Dreamcast (9.9.99).
