My Wishlist of Gaming Hardware

We all have a wish list of hardware we would love to own, whether the latest console or some other piece of kit. I thought I would write down five pieces of gear I wish I owned.

1) Commodore CBM 1541 Disk Drive

Despite owning several C64's over the years have never been the owner of a disk drive. All my Commodore memories are based around the trusty old datasette. As I now own two C64's (one with a 6581 and one with an 8580 SID chip if you care) I think a disk drive would be a useful device to have. For one thing it would be allot more reliable at saving games than the datasette ever was!



2) Super Nintendo Console

At this point in my life myself (and most of my friends) were Sega Megadrive fanatics so the though of owning a SNES back then was unthinkable. All these years later however and there are several good reasons I want to own one. R-Type III and Gradius III to be exact.






3) Sega Saturn Console

When Sony was going all 3D with the PS1 Sega and the Saturn were showing that 2D wasn't dead yet. With classic shooters like Radiant Silvergun and Dodonapachi available this machine is a shmup fans dream.






4) Sega Mega CD

A cool little add-on for the Megadrive with some cool games too, Sonic CD, Ecco the Dolphin, Snatcher and many other great titles. (can you just imagine what the back of my TV is going to look like if I do own all these extra consoles?).







5) Candy Cabinet

If I ever do get one of these I'm sure it won't be for many years but what gamer wouldn't want a beautiful looking candy cab in his or her living room?








Does anyone else have a hardware wishlist?

For products like this, we have been waiting AGES

Ever wish you never threw away your old Sega Megadrive? Ever thought about buying a second hand one of Ebay but were a little iffy about the cost or the condition?

Well if you answered yes to either of these two questions (or if you are still reading) I may have the products for you.
You see there has been somewhat of a Megadrive revival recently.

First up if you own a PS3 or an Xbox360 you could purchase Sega Megadrive: Ultimate Collection. A nice compendium of a great number of classic MD games. RRP is £29.99 but shop around and it can be found cheaper.


There are also a couple of other ways to get your hands on some of that Sega goodness thanks to a company called Blaze. Currently at their website, segaretro.net they have three products on offer. The Sega Megadrive Handheld, The Sega Megadrive Twinpads and last but not least The Sega Megadrive Console.

The Handheld is a portable self contained unit with 20 games built-in. great if you want a little bit of sonic on the tube.

The Twinpads is your standard TV plug-and-play unit with 10 games built-in but with two pads for 2 player fun.

But the most remarkable piece of kit they offer is the Megadrive Console. Not only does it have 15 games built in but this piece of kit works like the real console. You can play any Sega MD Cartridge in it. Thats right, any game. No region lockout!

Isn't that just a little bit exciting??
