The Analogue Mega SG is a home video game console that was introduced in 2019. It was designed primarily for Sega Genesis games, but is also compatible with Master System, Game Gear, and SG-1000 games.

The Mega SG is equipped with 1080p HDMI, digital audio, and Genesis-style controller interfaces.

Here you can see the included cartridge adapter for the Sega Master System.

The FPGA processor in Analogue's consoles can, in simple terms, mimic the original hardware inside a Sega Genesis.
The Mega SG should be perfectly compatible with the complete Sega Genesis library. Additionally, the Sega CD is supported via the expansion connector on the console's bottom.
It also supports the playback of Sega Master System games with a cartridge adapter or everdrive cartridges, same as the original Genesis did.
You can also play other older sega systems like mark 3 , Game Gear, and SG-1000 using different adapters sold separately .

The Mega SG does not come with any controllers, but you can use the original controllers or any inexpensive third-party controllers that are compatible with the original console.

I am using 8bitdo which high quality third party controller using 2.4 ghz wireless adapter

Let's start with the first Mortal Kombat game.

This console is region free unlike the original megadrive console and here I try pal version region locked game of street fighter which is

And here I am using a repro cartridge, which works perfectly.

Now, I'm testing the adapter with a Sega Master System game.

Here we try everdrive cartridge and everything works fine even the sega master system games

Here is one of Disney's best platforming games, QuackShot Starring Donald Duck

I always have trouble controlling Alex Kidd in Miracle World on emulators. It seems there was some input lag but on this console I feel the control is very smooth and responsive .

Let's talk about the good and bad things I think about this system.

Pros :
The best sega genesis clone , everything run perfectly in HD resolution .
Support many sega systems using adapters , sega master system adapter included in this package but others sold separately . it also supports more systems like colecovision if you jailbreak the system.
Small design and high quality hardware .
Unlike the original hardware, it is region free and supports all mega drive/Genesis cartridges.

Cons:
Can't run 32X games that need a special connection to a 32X add-on, but there are no clone systems that can do this. Only the original Genesis console can play them.
For me it is not a big deal, but others may consider purchasing it to play 32X games.
There are no controllers in the box, but you can easily find many third-party controllers at reasonable prices.
