We imagine this will be filling a lot of Christmas stockings later this year...

Now over 30 years since it was first made available to home players, the Sega Mega Drive is guaranteed to be a hit for players of a certain vintage who are looking for that ever-more-profitable hit of nostalgia.

On the other hand, the two pre-packaged controllers feel huge, especially since they effective only have the D-pad and three buttons, as opposed to current days' controllers, which have every available centimetre filled with a potential usage. Sure, some of them have weathered the tests of time and maintained their brilliance; there is no way that Sonic The Hedgehog can be anything other than a perfect platformer. Ditto for Streets Of Rage 2, which is still endlessly replayable and hugely entertaining, despite essentially just being"Walk right forever, punching things."

None of this is the Mega Drive's fault, as all the games here went to war with the software that they had , but it does obviously show up just how much we have progressed in gaming in those three decades, and shows how much early gamers accepted as part of the norm.

This is appalling. What happened to Ireland of a thousand welcomes! And we have a very short memory in terms of our emigration history. There needs to be consequences to running an innocent family out of the country Ireland needs HateSpeech legislation. Racist keyboard warrior cowards need to be held accountable for the hateful bile they spew.
