never even heard of one before, looks quite good imo.

I saw pictures of it at the time and think it did get a uk release.

However was probably as successful as the Sinclair PC200

i would have liked one of them if i was old enough a computer and a games console in one, space saving and you could look like you were working but infact you were playing games.

It did get a release, and my friend just found out his parents threw his out!

Yeah, I remember seeing them in Dixons. That cart slot felt so flimsy, like if you pushed the cart it'd snap the boards inside or something.

Yes it was - a guy I knew at college had one, it was a 386 processor, but the MegaDrive part was totally seperate.

Yep, I know someone who had one. MegaDrive in VGA was stunning!

The Japanese Tera Drive was a lot better looking.

Plus the PC side was 'aware' of the MD side and I've heard came with some rudimentary development tools.

Best thing was the white pad.

Shipped with the PC game Golf Links i remem.

Yeah it did, I had the version of that PC without the Megadrive built in.

My friend had one. It were rubbish.

There were both 386 (25MHz) & 486 (33MHz) versions. You can pick 'em up for about ?50 with a bit of patience.
