Cool rare gaming crap: Mega Jet, Sega SGX, SFII talking bank photo

I've always wanted a Sega Mega Jet, though I could never tell you why. It's just a unwieldy controller with a Genesis/Mega Drive built in. It's got a d-pad, six buttons, and a cartridge hole in the top. But no screen. You'll have to connect it to your television...just like your Genesis, but with a worse controller. Or call it a Sega Nomad without the screen and dogsh*t battery life. Wow, I just kind of talked myself out of it. And the $249 price on eBay helps a bit, too.

As a Saturn whore, I want this SGX system, too. It's like a big-assed Saturn in a black PC-ish box. It holds multiple games, each of which can be chosen from a special remote. Think of it as a CD changer for old-assed CD-based games, complete with a lock and key so that no one can steal your eroge. The pictures in this auction make it look pretty new. But $300? I dunno.

These links come from one of my favorite blogs, GameSniped. They also link us to Nintendo's Dolphin (Chad!) development hardware and an old Street Fighter II talking electronic piggy bank.

I need more money to buy this useless crap.

Dolphin is such a better name for a system than Gamecube.

Agree with Diverse.
The Sega Mega Jet sounds cool, but I want the Dolphin. Awesome thing is awesome.

I just wish I could buy this one: The Sony Net Yaroze. Just to get the collection complete... But at US $456.78 it's a bit to pricey.

What the hell? Why didn't they add a sceen? It would've made a really nice semi-portable console. With bitchin graphics like the Mega Drive, it would've owned the gameboy.

Unlike some other other portable console...

@Chronic: Probably because the battery would drain must faster than it already does. They probably made it half way through as a legitimate handheld but they couldn't come up with a good enough battery solution to run it all.

Sega saturn FTW, I still break it out from time to time to play galatic attack (layer section, or raystorm depends on where ya live), and vitual cop.

I find it genuinely relieving that these will be purchased and gone long before my tax refund shows up.

I would rather have a CDX than a jet.
