BLAZEGear brings classic Sega action to Europe

More On: BLAZEGear
If you were a kid growing up in the UK during the 90s, odds are you were a Sega fan--after all, the Master System did much better than the NES, paving the way for Sega's 16-bit machine. Europeans called it the Mega Drive, and while I think Genesis is a much cooler name, the games were great no matter what name was silkscreened onto its glossy black surface. The Game Gear was also better accepted in Europe, probably because you could buy an adapter that let you play Master System games on it.

Blaze Europe is giving you the chance to relive those days with the BLAZEGear, a handheld console with 30 built in Game Gear and Master System classics. It also takes a mere two AAA batteries, a far cry from the six AA's that the original Game Gear devoured in about two hours. Even better, the BLAZEGear outputs to your TV through standard AV cables, similar to the PSP. My only real concern is the game lineup--sure, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is great, but I'd really like the ability to plug my old cartridges into the handheld.
