Mega Drive Portable is a series of handheld Mega Drive/Genesis clones manufactured by Zoga and distributed by multiple companies in China, Russia, and South America. The systems were first sold (by Simba) on March 27, 2007[1]. The series is notable for using unique cartridges which resemble Game Boy Advance carts.
Overview[]
The Mega Drive Portable itself comes with the unit itself, 4 triple-A batteries, a pair of earphones, a small black pouch with "Mega Drive Portable" branding, a charger, an A/V cable for playing on a TV, and the console's instructions manual. The console also features a system UI, which is accessed upon turning on the console without a game. Though this menu is mostly useless, as the "Settings" menu doesn't affect the device itself, and the buttons are mixed up.
