Some classics missing, Short controller lead,
Sega sticks the landing with what proves to a fantastic throwback to one of gaming's most beloved consoles. A few missing classics and an irritatingly short controller lead prevent the Mega Drive Mini from reaching its full potential, but fans of retro ga...

The three-button version of the pad is included, Where is Micro Machines?, No plug in the box
Anyone worried the Sega Mega Drive Mini might be a shameless cash in needn't have worried. The games library is generous and full of classics, emulation is solid, presentation is top notch and the price is fair. As retro console remakes go, it's the defin...
