SLS (SEGA) PS2 Wireless Surf Wave Controller Overview and Review

Ever wanted a wireless controller for PS2? Well, Tom has been after that very thing for a while, he finally settled on the Surf Wave controller...and it's SEGA branded!?

Originally known as the AirStyle and created by FounTech, SEGA later licensed this same controller and manufactured it through their SLS (SEGA Logistics Service) arm, which deal with the maintenance and distribution of Sega hardware within Japan. They also released a few other controllers, the Surf Wave being one of the most notable.

Join Tom as he gives an overview and review of the controller and attempts to solve the mystery of why the particular one he has acquired is lacking the SEGA branding on the pad itself...enjoy!

SEGA Mega Drive Mini Unboxing!

As usual, we may not be the first to unbox the latest tech but I hope you'll agree that we always deliver a concise and hopefully informative viewing experience that'll give you an honest opinion of, in this case, SEGA's Mega Drive Mini.

In short it's a great piece of kit that's built well, acts like you'd expect it to and is stuffed with more games than most similar Mini console offerings.

TMA 217 – The Plastic Stack

A wild podcast appeared! Go Tom & Mat! Mat used talk about Pokémon Go, Judgement and Ace Combat 7. It’s not very effective. Tom is confused. Tom used discuss the Mega Drive Mini (and it’s little peripherals), Yoku’s Island Express, Call of Duty 4 and sorting out game collections. Mat fainted. The podcast ran out of useable conversation topics. The podcast blacked out…

SEGA FOREVER™ MAKES TIME TRAVEL* COST-EFFECTIVE, CONVENIENT

Three decades after it all began, SEGA Networks announces a growing collection of classic video games for mobile

SAN FRANCISCO, LONDON – 21st June 2017 - In celebration of a simpler time - an era that came before cool kale, hyper-connectedness, DIY artisanal beer-making, and social media mayhem - SEGA Networks Inc. is bringing a growing collection of classic video games from every console era to your mobile device for free. The collection, called SEGA Forever, is a re-awakening of archetypal gaming, an ode to the deep and diverse SEGA catalogue, and the beginning of a retro revolution that will transport players back through two decades of console gaming.

Each game in the SEGA Forever line-up is free-to-play, ad-supported, playable offline, and includes added features like cloud saves, controller support, and leaderboards. For players who prefer a pristinely ad-free mobile gaming experience - folks who want to play SEGA just like they remember playing in their basement, without interruptions from parents, siblings, or homework - we’ve rolled back the price so each game can be purchased without ads for £1.99. As the SEGA Forever collection expands through months and years, it will include both official emulations and ported games that pan all SEGA console eras, each adapted specifically for mobile devices while remaining faithful to the original games.

“Above all else SEGA Forever is a celebration of nostalgia. It’s about allowing fans to reconnect with past experiences and share them with family and friends in an accessible and convenient way" explains Mike Evans, CMO of SEGA’s Mobile Division in the West. “Join us on a journey of rediscovery as we roll out two decades of classic games free on mobile. Create your own ‘SEGA Forever folder’ and collect your favourite classics. Enjoy moments of nostalgia on the go, or sync a Bluetooth controller to enjoy a console-like experience in your living room. SEGA Forever democratizes retro gaming, and seeks to change how the world plays, rediscovers, and shares in classic game experiences.”

The first batch of SEGA Forever games has been carefully curated, boasting both blockbusters and core fan favourites; The collection will officially kick off tomorrow with five Mega Drive / Genesis titles, all of which will be available to download for free on the Google Play Store for Android devices and on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, where they will be accompanied by iMessage sticker packs:

● Sonic The Hedgehog, the 1991 household classic that has remained at the forefront of hearts and minds since inception
● Phantasy Star II, the long-time fan-favourite RPG from 1989
●Comix Zone and Kid Chameleon, two American titles developed by SEGA’s in-house studio STI
● Altered Beast, the original Genesis pack-in title, a beat ‘em up set in Ancient Greece that represents a weird and wonderful segment of the SEGA catalogue that is ripe for rediscovery
