▌ Cartridge for 55 games.

A 55-game cartridge looks like this


What can I say about the games, below there are a couple of photos with the names of all the games, I want to note that there are many Russified games. And there are games for two! Yes, yes, yes, playing for two is what makes this cartridge one of the best, and the MK series and micromachines are even more valuable.

Not without garbage, again, everyone decides for himself what games to play, the developers who made this collection, well done, in principle, the games are diverse, not only fighting games, there are races, logical games, arcades ...

In general, there is something to play. Damn it, there is a Little Mermaid - even a girl can play!

I wonder if it’s possible to fill my games with this cartridge.
Is it possible, or rather how difficult it will be, to plug this caric for his games?

To the list of games





Playing with your son is fun! The child did not refuse the offer to play the console on the camera.


▌15 built-in games in the console itself?

I don’t know how it happened, but only 55 games on the cartridge appear in the description of the console, and there were no speech about 15 games built into the console itself.

The find was discovered by the son who wanted to play another game, did not fully insert the cartridge with the game, switched the power button, and the console launched 15 built-in sports simulators - a nice bonus!

▌ Design.

I am a fan of the classic SMD (it just so happened), and the child who was given this console was completely satisfied with its appearance. To the question “like?” the son replied that he liked it. “What do you like more, a prefix or games?” - said “games”, the words of the child speak the truth! In my childhood, we played on whatever it was possible, and these were wonderful days, without adult troubles about the correct form and design aesthetics.

▌ governing bodies.

Gamepads with the turbo / slow function are the same as in the good dashing 90s, they work properly for a month and a half of quite active use by adults and children.

I can’t say that we are actively using cheating functions of gamepads, but I’m a more experienced player than my son, and I switch the turbo mode for him in Streets of Rage so that it is easier for him to play, and we will go through it as a whole.

▌ The power supply does not heat up!



You will not believe it, but the power supply does not heat up.
This is a significant plus, the prefix was bought for the child, and the child may forget to disconnect the prefix from the network.

▌ Advantages and disadvantages.

+ 15 built-in games.
The power supply does not heat up.
Fun children's design.
The regions switch at the bottom of the console is not fake, it really works at least with the streets of rage game.
Easy to use.

The design of the classic console is more to my liking, but the child makes no difference.
The SONIC THE HEDGEHOG game, the one on the cartridge, works very slowly, and changing the region does not help, probably because it uses a flash cartridge. For us, it’s not critical, and on a separate STH cartridge, such a problem is not observed.
▌Price and purchase.

The official site simbas.ru

You can buy a prefix, for example, in DNS(not advertising), in the city there are at least 3 points of sale of cartridges, gamepads, power supplies, which willingly work to order and get what is not on the window.

Gamepad Simba's Megadrive-2
Gamepad Simba's Megadrive-X
Power supply Simba's 8 / 16bit

Games right there in the DNS, if not in your area, then on request with a 40% prepayment.

Prices for games have not changed since the 19XX-shaggy year, in the former "tents" to this day:


▌ Conclusion.

I was surprised to see a prefix from the 90s on sale, unlike other consoles, the popularity of SEGA MD and its other reincarnations without a doubt in the top, you can easily find a couple of gamepads, a power supply and games for this console, which can not be said about her older brothers from Nintendo (SNES, GBA), which are much more difficult to find in the vastness of our homeland.

A separate situation is an additional bonus for guests, friends, relatives, for those who remember and appreciate, and the question: “Do you want to play shogi?”, A counter question arises: “Is there a mortem?” - Yes, there is, and not one!

Children, eyes and TV are in control! Half an hour means half an hour! a timer on TV for 30 minutes, a comfortable distance from the screen, a lighted room so as not to spoil the child’s eyes.

Why not emulation? Peka? Androyd?
Quickly, simply, do not mind.
Dad let's play ...? 15 seconds to turn on and play, even if the son wants to help a little solder or disassemble, then I will not mind. If someone steps on the console, while tipsy, we’ll buy a new one with a different cartridge, the choice is simbas.ru . Everything is very easy and simple.

▌Official video review.


▌ Father and son.
I do not know how to philosophize, but the essence should be clear to every father!
Maybe someone will say that playing with a son in a video game is bad: "better go for a walk or read!". We both walk, and read, and play together, but it happens that dad only has time for a five-minute fight, and we cannot get out for a walk because of the “snot” or bad weather. So I’ll tell you, reading is good, but the child should have fun!

Play the classics, love the classics, instill a love of the classics!
