Sega Megadrive Console Returns To Shops in a ‘Blaze’ of Glory

by Jay Garrett on March 13, 2009

blaze-sega-mega-driveBlaze.

Remember the name?

It’s those folks that shoved a Sega Mega Drive into a handheld with 20 games built-in for £30.

Now the very same company is releasing a slim profile home console to plug into your TV in that old skool Megadrive stylee.

It will have 15 games built-in including Altered Beast, Golden Axe and Sonic & Knuckles as well as keeping a cartridge slot – so if you want to buy old Sega Mega Drive games off eBay, or have kept some in the back of your cupboard you can breathe life back into them.

The Blaze Sega Mega Drive is even multi-region – this means that you’ll be able to play a Japanese-only cult classic, you can geek out to your hearts content :)

The Blaze Sega Mega Drive console comes with two control pads and will be available starting  April 24th for £40 from HMV

Apricot Aegis – 1.8 Inch 240GB Pocket Drive

by Jay Garrett on March 12, 2009

apricot-pocket-hdApricorn’s Aegis Mini portable HDD definetly takes the ‘portable’ term to heart.

At 1.8-inches it manages to squeeze in up to 240GB of storage space and still allow you to slip it into your jean’s.

The pocket-friendly external drive only weighs 3.7 ounces and it’s shock mounted so will put up with being dragged from puter to puter.

It sips at the juice as well and works from a single USB or FireWire port and that cable is neatly wrapped around the drive itself so all is neat and tidy :)

The Aegis USB drives cost $149, $189 and $269 for the 80GB, 120GB and 240GB, respectively.

You pay 10 bucks more if you go for The FireWire models.

The Kaos pad has been used by people such as Radiohead to manipulate live samples and generally mess around with sounds.
It’s a groovy tool/instrument but is a tad on the expensive side if you just wanted to have a play-thing.
But now you can get your hands on a Korg Kaossilator portable synth for about £70-80 [...]
