▌ Cartridge for 55 games.

A cartridge with 55 games looks like this


What can I say about the game, below there are a couple of photos with the names of all the games, I would like to note that there are many Russified games. And there are games for two! Yes, yes, yes, playing for two is the very thing that makes this cartridge one of the best, and the presence of the MK series and micromachines is even more valuable.

Not without debris, again, everyone decides for himself what games to play, the developers who made this selection are great in principle, there are diverse games, not just fighting games, there are races, logical arcades ...

In general, there is something to play. Damn it, there is a "Little Mermaid" - even a girl can play!

I wonder if it is possible to pour your games into this cartridge?
Is it possible, or rather, how difficult, will this haykom do for their games?




Playing with your son is fun! The child did not refuse the offer to play the prefix on the camera.


▌15 built-in games in the console itself?

I don’t know how it happened, but only 55 games on the cartridge appear in the description of the console, but there were no speeches about 15 games built into the console itself.

The discovery was found by a little boy who wanted to play another game, inserted a cartridge with the game not fully, switched the power button, and the console launched 15 built-in sports simulators - a nice bonus!



Design.

I am a fan of classic SMD (it just so happened), and the child who was given this prefix was completely satisfied with its appearance. To the question "like?" The son answered that he liked. “And what is more like a prefix or games?” - said “games”, the words of the child speak the truth! In my childhood, we played on what was possible, and it was a wonderful day, without problems of adults about the correctness of forms and design aesthetics.

▌ Management Bodies.

The gamepads with the turbo \ slow function are the same as in the good, dashing 90s, they have been working regularly for a month and a half of quite active use by adults and children.

I can not say that we are actively using the cheat functions of gamepads, but I am a more experienced player than my son, and I switch the turbo mode for him in Streets of Rage to make it easier for him to play, and we go through it entirely.

▌ The power supply is not heated!



You will not believe, but the power supply is not heated.
This is a significant plus, the console is purchased by the child, and the child may forget to turn off the console from the network.


Advantages and disadvantages.

+ 15 built-in games.
The power supply is not heated.
Cheerful children's design.
The switch regions at the bottom of the console is not fake, it really works at least with the streets of rage game.
Easy to use.

I prefer the design of the classic console, but there is no difference to the child.
The SONIC THE HEDGEHOG game, the one on the cartridge, is very slow, and the change of the region does not help, probably, because the flash-cartridge is used here. It is not critical for us, and there is no such problem on a separate STH cartridge.
▌Price and purchase.

Official site simbas.ru

You can buy a prefix, for example, in DNS (not advertising), there are at least 3 sales points for cartridges, gamepads, and power supplies in the city, which willingly work on order and take out something that is not on display.

Simba's Megadrive-2 Gamepad
Simba's Megadrive-X Gamepad
Simba's 8 / 16bit Power Supply

Games are right there in DNS if not in your region, then on order with 40% prepayment.

Prices for games are not treason from 19XX-shaggy year, in the former "tents" to this day:


▌Conclusion.

I was surprised to see the prefix from the 90s on sale, unlike other consoles, the popularity of SEGA MD and its other reincarnations without a doubt in the top, you can easily find a couple of gamepads, a power supply unit and games for this console, which can't be said about her older brothers from Nintendo (SNES, GBA), which are much harder to find in the expanses of our Motherland.

A separate situation is an additional bonus for guests, friends, relatives, for those who remember and appreciate, and to the question: “do you want to play sego?”, A counter question arises: “do you have a mortician?” - yes, there is, and not one !

Children, eyes and TV are controlled! Half an hour means half an hour! TV timer for 30 minutes, comfortable distance from the screen, lighted room so as not to spoil the eyes of the child.

Why not emulation? Peck? Androyd?
Quickly, simply, do not mind.
Dad, let's play ...? 15 seconds to turn on and play, even if the son wants to help a little popay or disassemble, then I will not mind. If someone comes on the console, being tipsy, we will buy a new one with a different cartridge, the choice is simbas.ru . Everything is very easy and simple.

▌Father and son.
I do not know how to philosophize, but the essence must be clear to every father!
Maybe someone will say that playing with your son in a video game is bad: “better go for a walk or read!”. We both walk, and read, and play together, but it happens that dad has time only for a five-minute battle, and we cannot get together for a walk due to “snot” or bad weather. So I tell you, reading is good, but the child should have fun!

Play the classics, love the classics, instill a love for the classics!
