Analogue Mega SG review – An excellent console for old Sega games

If you want to play some old Sega games, you have no shortage of options. You can get the Genesis Classics collection on PC and consoles. You can grab the classic hardware and physical games. Or maybe you could use a downloadable emulator. But in 2019, all of those options either come with compromises or require some extra steps. And those are problems that Analogue aimed to solve with its new Mega SG console.

Software emulation can often have a lot of issues with accuracy. And even if you get a set up working, unrelated updates to graphics drivers can potentially cause headaches. Playing on classic hardware is great — just not on modern displays. You can solve that by getting a CRT for old games or by getting something like the Open-Source Scan Converter (OSSC). But Analogue created an alternative that is arguably more convenient and affordable.
