Get Ready 80s And 90s Kids! The Sega Genesis Is Back In Production!

By Tanya |

The Sega Genesis is back in production! It's been about 20 years since the console was discontinued. But, after all the hype over the release of the "mini" versions, another company has decided to bring back the real deal.

TecToy has started preorders for the "all-new Sage Mega Drive Stock" - a total replica of the original console. The best part: Sega is on board with these consoles. The Brazillain company TecToy is a licensed manufacturing partner, so you can be sure the console will be up to standards.

Why is a Brazilian company bothering to bring back a system that is two decades old? Apparently in Brazil the Sega Genesis still sells in the upwards of 150,000 units per year!

The only change that they have made to the system was to add an SD slot that will allow you to play the 22 included games:

  • ALEX KIDD
  • ALIEN STORM
  • ALTERED BEAST
  • ARROW FLASH
  • BONANZA BROTHERS
  • COLUMNS
  • DECAP ATTACK
  • E-SWAT
  • FATAL LABYRINTH
  • FLICKY
  • GAIN GROUND
  • GOLDEN AXE
  • GOLDEN AXE 3
  • JEWEL MASTER
  • KID CHAMELEON
  • LAST BATTLE
  • OUT RUNNERS
  • SEGA SOCCER
  • SHADOW DANCER
  • SHINOBI 3
  • SONIC 3
  • TURBO Outrun

The console is available for preorder now through the Brazilian site. Nostalgia doesn't come cheap, the system will cost you about $138 USD and will be available in June 2017.

Would you spend the money to relive your favorite games?

By Tanya
Playing Mario Kart was one of the most important things that you could do as a child. It was how you were going to develop that mental acuity needed in your day-to-day life. Sure, you could learn some things at school, but Mario Kart taught us problem solving in ways that were actually fun. You learned how to wait until someone was going over the big jump in Wario's Stadium before you used your lightning power, you learned where the glitches and cheats were, and most importantly, you developed a bond with one of the characters.Anyone who has played

Duck Hunt "Secret" Is Going Viral Thanks To Seth Rogen

By Tanya
Duck Hunt is one of those games that managed to become an all-time favorite even though the premise was so simple. All you needed to do was shoot the ducks using that big ol' controller, but it was still super tricky. We all played it a lot though, whether it was because the game was actually fun or if it was because it was our only option, we can't ever be sure. The game may have come out in America in 1987, and was so popular it was actually added to more modern systems as a downloadable game. But there's

Remembering NFL in the 90's

By Jordan N
NFL in the 90s. The Golden Years of FootballIf you can cast your mind back to what the NFL was like in the 90’s, you can perhaps remember some of the great teams and players of the time, not to mention some of the important milestones as well. Maybe you remember the Dallas Cowboys winning three Super Bowls in four years or when the Denver Broncos won a perfect season in 1998. Of course, there are plenty of memorable player moments too. Like when Dan Marino won the title of the best all-time passing leader. Or when Jerry Rice
