Hahahaha the classic retro gamers conundrum, I've been there I got it today in like new condition in box for $20, I'm EXTREMELY happy it feels like a $100 value or more I'm not kidding you won't regret it
I just bought one of these today the colour is red and it does what it's supposed to do play master system and mega drive/genesis games! Overall it is a great portable games console and it's easy to take around with you! I 100% recommend this to any gamer!
I got this same unit several years back from the local Family Dollar. Convenient stores generally seem to have a lot of At Games devices at and around the holidays. I love it and have used it so much the screen is getting a bit scratchy. Just got the somewhat larger Sega Genesis emulator-basically a Sega Nomad I guess. That has a USB port and is rechargeable. Hope you do that system sometime Lord Karnage!
Oh my! finally someone sent you something from Mexico! I had the idea of sending something to be the first mexican, but someone took the idea first. Great channel and your channel is amazing mark! Keep the good job even if its lighter in 2016!
I wish there was one like this that played Turbografx 16 and maybe even Turbo CD games (CD ISOs through the SD card slot of course) that would be so good~
+Ruko Michiharu Flashcarts wont play ISO as that is a totally different interface / tech , in this case you need an optical drive emulation device, they have had for Dreamcast and 3DO but you likely wont get the same integration in a single device that plays ROMS............
MaximumRD The thing is, this handheld is most likely emulating the SMS and GG, if they made a handheld emulation machine just like this, only capable of emulating the Turbografx 16 and CD, that would be friggin' amazing!
i have an older atgames/sega console with the screen destroyed, it still works but 1/4 of the screen is what i can see and with weird colors, it has 20 games in it from Game Gear and Master System, the same that this has except for 10 more.
Great review, I am not into these aftermarket hand helds but this looks good! Ya gotta review the Super Boy portable Mark! how much longer is CGR gonna be on youtube?
I have a very similar device made by Coleco. Looks like pretty much all of the same games as well. I spent like $15 for it and it was a ridiculously good surprise. I got a ton of fun from it, and it had AV cables and a jack to play on a tv as well.
It's weird these AtGames things (other devices as well) have had such trouble with Genesis sound emulation. Emulating Genesis games has been going on for ages, by now it should be really hard to screw up.
+referral madness I see now, I missed it before. But yeah if it was using Kgen from the turn of the century then I could see how it was pretty crappy. I just saw "Kega Fusion" thrown into the mix and took umbrige with the implications.
I picked up one of these earlier , my only two gripes with the system is that it runs on batteries and it doesn't support game save state. Other than that it's a pretty solid piece of tech. One last addition I think would be cool is if it supported roms that could be loaded on to it via an SD card slot but I guess that's probably asking a bit much lol
I have one of those, but it's different, same body type, black with orange, six buttons, a SD only port on the top (microSD with adapter doesnt work, kinda jittery port, you gotta press AND hold down the SD card for it to read the game, and if you let it go while loading, it crashes), some wires for playing on the TV and only accepts Sega Genesis games. While it's kinda fun to play, the sound chip isn't the same, so the music has a acute effect that i can't really explain and at the same time, if you mess around with the earphone port a little bit, it causes a fucking static noise, makes your ears go ringing (like a flashbang) for about 2 mins after playing with earphones for 30 mins.
Honestly, I wanted the Sega Genesis Portable. I knew the sound was bad and that I'll turn it off when playing, but I got this device, and its much better than that Genesis Portable. Wow.
3:33 and 3:41 Gotta love the typical Atgame handhelds with mediocore sound emulation. I can tell the sound for both Sonic Triple Trouble and Chaos is lower/higher pitched than usual for the few seconds the video has the audio playing from the system as someone who has played both games for quite a bit. Also I like how the system has A and B buttons for the Game Gear's 1 and 2 buttons. :P
+mister chef Actually it'll be full time again, if monthly cash from patreon is $10,000, which might explain his reasons for originally wanting to make CGR more like a hobby, ad cash is drying up and he can't afford crap anymore.
I'd pick this up for Triple Trouble and Ristar, but it's missing some absolute marvels like Wonder Boy 3 The Dragon's Trap and Alex Kidd in Shinobi World which are a bummer too considering AtGames consoles having poor sound chips. I guess I also won't hold out hope for an AtGames console with Megami Tensei or Sylvan Tale built-in.
I had this and i love it, a sms/gg version i love dragon crystal, ristar, tails adventures, even the sonic games and more. I don't got it no more i gave it away, anyone know where i can find another one also the sega genesis portable? Need to add it to my collection.
How did they screw something so simple up?! A and B?! A and B?! It's a cool handheld, but really? The SMS has buttons 1 and 2!!! I really do enjoy your take on this aftermarket console though. CGR Videos always have had that really neat sense of humor that sets them apart from other videos. I also feel that the handheld could have been better if it had Truxton! :D
Saying that the only decent handhelds were made by Sega, Nintendo and Sony? Has he already forgotten about the Lynx, the NGPC, the Wonderswan, the Turbo Express?
I had ATGAMES portable with Sega Mega Drive/Genesis games. And isn't bad, yes, is cheap but sound isn't far off, screen suffers from screen tearing in some games but is nice, I have collection of Sega games on PSP and Vita but they can't last as long as this portable. So I use it pretty much like primary Mega Drive emulator.
man I'm gonna miss this guy when he finally hangs up his cape. wishing I watched more frequently. does anyone happen to know the track that plays in the beginning?
Star Wolf wow that's pretty good, but on one of his recent videos he said he's giving up reviewing full time, and he's going to review a lot less, which is kind of a bummer. I guess one dude can't live on 56k a year from TH-cam
+Dom Giunta Tell me about it. He's getting over 10k a month to produce his show now. Apparently it's the most successful Patreon campaign ever. I think...
Fabiano Dias Well, there is no expandable storage, so you cannot play Phantasy Star or Ys, so you're stuck with the built in, 30 games, which don't include those
Too bad it doesn't had an SD card slot like the Genesis version, otherwise I'd get one. The Genesis version lets you load up on roms, and it can even play NES roms for some reason, but not SMS or Game Gear.
+Kurt Angerdinger More like a mixture of all 3 original trilogy films, not just IV. Also wasn't that everyone wanted? Not more scenes about how sand's irritating? ;)
Thank you for reviewing this. I keep getting tempted by it at the store but I keep thinking "It's too good to be true".
Hahahaha the classic retro gamers conundrum, I've been there
I got it today in like new condition in box for $20, I'm EXTREMELY happy it feels like a $100 value or more I'm not kidding you won't regret it
The answer, is in the book.
Just like you did my mom?
+Johnylogic16 Good luck in México
+GamingTheSystems Just take a look! reading rainbowwwwwwww
Just went on Ebay and bought one. Thanks Mark!!!!
Dear god I fucking love the SMS sound chip.
+CornishCreamtea07 I've never seen a person jizz over a sound chip before. Pretty creepy and disturbing if you ask me.
+mipmipmipmipmip No thanks. I'm not an autistic 40 year old that lives in his mom's basement.
+Gabriel X seriously the autistic part wasn't needed dude...
+Gabriel X stupidly savage mad man, he enjoys sound chips, you enjoy calling people autistic?
+Falcon Bleck I never said I enjoyed anything. And btw, why the insult?
I'm already in tears. Please don't end the show or at least start a new one.
He's (probably) returning Classic Game Room to a hobby because he wants to pursue other things.
dont wory
This would have been awesome in the late '90s. The small screen is deal breaker in this time of large screen smartphones and tablets.
Still waiting for a portable Dreamcast...
I just bought one of these today the colour is red and it does what it's supposed to do play master system and mega drive/genesis games!
Overall it is a great portable games console and it's easy to take around with you!
I 100% recommend this to any gamer!
I got this same unit several years back from the local Family Dollar. Convenient stores generally seem to have a lot of At Games devices at and around the holidays. I love it and have used it so much the screen is getting a bit scratchy. Just got the somewhat larger Sega Genesis emulator-basically a Sega Nomad I guess. That has a USB port and is rechargeable. Hope you do that system sometime Lord Karnage!
If it has Ristar it must be good.
Sega just put ristar under the carpet in recent years
Duke Xander M. Campilan Campilan Yup he deserves more love,
+- ̗̀new ̖́-Truly Atomic so true
That a pretty good game, i enjoy it.
Oh my! finally someone sent you something from Mexico! I had the idea of sending something to be the first mexican, but someone took the idea first. Great channel and your channel is amazing mark! Keep the good job even if its lighter in 2016!
I wish there was one like this that played Turbografx 16 and maybe even Turbo CD games (CD ISOs through the SD card slot of course) that would be so good~

+Ruko Michiharu if somebody made a commercially available famiclone like the retron 5 that could play Turbografx games I would buy it in a heartbeat.
+Ruko Michiharu A hacked PSP?
Gpd xd is the best portable emulator in my opinion, should play turbografx.
"A little burning people with monsters and cutting them in half never hurt anyone" hahahaha
This is going on my Christmas list!
Same because its oficial
what about the wonder swan crystal? or the Neo Geo Pocket Color? those are good, too.
Much love mark and CGR!
Is Mark already dismantling the CGR set? Why the different camera angle? Why that tiny mic? :(
+LaVey Charkus Veros Because it's a repost of an old review video, it was even shot in his old studio.
You are....kidding, right? This is both copyright year 2015, and the red shelves indicate this is clearly the newer Intergalactic Space Arcade.
+LaVey Charkus Veros Why did you answer your question before you asked it???
I have one of those Sega Genesis Flashback consoles from AtGames and must admit that AtGames puts out some pretty decent after market systems
Easily noticed from the footage of Triple Trouble that the sound is pitched higher.
Thanks Mark now I want one! Time for a trip to Amazon! :)
My boyfriend gave me AtGames Genesis system for Christmas. The product was eh okay. Plus, the games were nice. Brings me back to childhood. :)
I wish I saw this review while this system was still out in stores.
Got a megadrive version of this, gotta pick this one up now too, very good little device for long journeys.
Reynosa, Mexico...that's an hour drive. Amazing how many ppl Classic Game Room has reached out to.
i have an older atgames/sega console with the screen destroyed, it still works but 1/4 of the screen is what i can see and with weird colors, it has 20 games in it from Game Gear and Master System, the same that this has except for 10 more.
Have a happy new year classic game room
I absolutely love Astro Warrior, its my go to shoot em up.
Great review, I am not into these aftermarket hand helds but this looks good! Ya gotta review the Super Boy portable Mark! how much longer is CGR gonna be on youtube?
U GUYS CAME BACK AWESOME
I have a very similar device made by Coleco. Looks like pretty much all of the same games as well. I spent like $15 for it and it was a ridiculously good surprise. I got a ton of fun from it, and it had AV cables and a jack to play on a tv as well.
It's weird these AtGames things (other devices as well) have had such trouble with Genesis sound emulation. Emulating Genesis games has been going on for ages, by now it should be really hard to screw up.
+Snotnarok Even weirder is how earlier AtGames Genesis clones got the sound chip right, but the recent ones are all off
+Snotnarok Yes, the sound is appalling on those things, truly dreadful.
+referral madness at this point? Contact the people who make KEGA and ask for help because these things haven't been super great. :\
+referral madness
What is your source for this information. Also, Kega Fusion has the most accurate Genesis sound emulation on the planet.
+referral madness
I see now, I missed it before. But yeah if it was using Kgen from the turn of the century then I could see how it was pretty crappy. I just saw "Kega Fusion" thrown into the mix and took umbrige with the implications.
Best show on TH-cam hands down
Also, you can download games and put them on an sd card to play them. Doesn't have a save feature though
+Mateo Gonzalez The second version of the Genesis Ultimate Portable does.
I've a mega drive/genesis atgame portable console, it's kind of nice also. It has a sdcard slot allowing you to expand the 20 ingame library
Needless to say, I had a lot more fun playing this handheld console than any of the Sega Genesis consoles released by AT Games.
That actually looks pretty nice, did not expect that. :)
And the best part is at the top of the device: "TV Out". It works great!
I'd buy one, is there a place in Europe to get this thing?
I still remember when I was 5 and a had that console man it was fun!
I picked up one of these earlier , my only two gripes with the system is that it runs on batteries and it doesn't support game save state. Other than that it's a pretty solid piece of tech.
One last addition I think would be cool is if it supported roms that could be loaded on to it via an SD card slot but I guess that's probably asking a bit much lol
Can you save the progress in the games?
they made these for Atari and Genesis as well
This has been around for a long time, I wish I just had a modern Game Gear to play my cartridges on or put the ROMs on.
Ironic that the Sonic Arcade game isn't on the SEGA ARCADE GAMER. That still ma fav Sonic 2D sprites 3D gameplay.
yeah, I need this one, because the model for genesis (mega drive) is still in my collection.
How to save a game ?
Should we start over each time?
I have one of those, but it's different, same body type, black with orange, six buttons, a SD only port on the top (microSD with adapter doesnt work, kinda jittery port, you gotta press AND hold down the SD card for it to read the game, and if you let it go while loading, it crashes), some wires for playing on the TV and only accepts Sega Genesis games. While it's kinda fun to play, the sound chip isn't the same, so the music has a acute effect that i can't really explain and at the same time, if you mess around with the earphone port a little bit, it causes a fucking static noise, makes your ears go ringing (like a flashbang) for about 2 mins after playing with earphones for 30 mins.
How does the sound/music sound from the headphone jack? the unit's own speakers the audio sounds kinda terrible.
lol I actually just got my red one, some come with different games
mines came with
street of rage 1'2'3, xmen, sonic1,2 etc I'm happy
Any kids dream from the 90s would have dreamed of something like this. Genesis on the go.
Honestly, I wanted the Sega Genesis Portable. I knew the sound was bad and that I'll turn it off when playing, but I got this device, and its much better than that Genesis Portable. Wow.
you should try the atgames sega genesis handheld with 80 built in games
3:33 and 3:41 Gotta love the typical Atgame handhelds with mediocore sound emulation. I can tell the sound for both Sonic Triple Trouble and Chaos is lower/higher pitched than usual for the few seconds the video has the audio playing from the system as someone who has played both games for quite a bit.
Also I like how the system has A and B buttons for the Game Gear's 1 and 2 buttons. :P
hmm I wonder why they didn't add the SD slot onto this model..
Only 30 games makes me think I'd get bored of the thing so quickly but then I remember as a kid I only had like 5 games for my game gear.
I will miss the daily and old classic game room :( Good luck mark
+mister chef Actually it'll be full time again, if monthly cash from patreon is $10,000, which might explain his reasons for originally wanting to make CGR more like a hobby, ad cash is drying up and he can't afford crap anymore.
Would love a Sega Saturn or Dreamcast version of these handhelds.
Name of the first game? I remember this from my childhood
I'm not sure but i think it might be gain ground.
+angel2901 it's "The Ninja" one of the best action games on the system
angel2901 I didn't know it was called I remember this from my childhood
Sega - as good as it gets for 8bit and 16bit gaming!!
Oh the memories :)
Wait you're still uploading? I thought you quit? Or was that just the Undertow channel?
Just Undertow :/ R.I.P.
The Short Vlogger Rip
+mister chef I liked him, thought he was entertaining, especially when him and Mark were in videos together
I'd pick this up for Triple Trouble and Ristar, but it's missing some absolute marvels like Wonder Boy 3 The Dragon's Trap and Alex Kidd in Shinobi World which are a bummer too considering AtGames consoles having poor sound chips.
I guess I also won't hold out hope for an AtGames console with Megami Tensei or Sylvan Tale built-in.
I love the size. My hands will hurt in few seconds.
There´s another atgames portable master system which has an SD slot for roms.
please review the portable megadrive one
There's only 1 thing that I want from Sega right now is for Phantasy Star Nova to get localized for the US
Not bad...I'm still waiting/hoping for a re-release of Neo Geo Pocket Color games or some consolidation version of it with a backlit screen.
I had this and i love it, a sms/gg version i love dragon crystal, ristar, tails adventures, even the sonic games and more. I don't got it no more i gave it away, anyone know where i can find another one also the sega genesis portable? Need to add it to my collection.
There was an aftermarket Sega Genesis with like 50 built in games and no sonic. I can easily forgive that, as it uses Genesis cartridges as well
So your not done with Classic Game Room?
How did they screw something so simple up?! A and B?! A and B?! It's a cool handheld, but really? The SMS has buttons 1 and 2!!! I really do enjoy your take on this aftermarket console though. CGR Videos always have had that really neat sense of humor that sets them apart from other videos. I also feel that the handheld could have been better if it had Truxton! :D
Saying that the only decent handhelds were made by Sega, Nintendo and Sony?
Has he already forgotten about the Lynx, the NGPC, the Wonderswan, the Turbo Express?
I thought the lynx and the ngpc wad pretty good too.
I had ATGAMES portable with Sega Mega Drive/Genesis games. And isn't bad, yes, is cheap but sound isn't far off, screen suffers from screen tearing in some games but is nice, I have collection of Sega games on PSP and Vita but they can't last as long as this portable. So I use it pretty much like primary Mega Drive emulator.
1:30 I honestly thought for a second you were implying you drive over it with an El Camino.
Lord karnage rules.
The buttons on mine don't work, any solution?
man I'm gonna miss this guy when he finally hangs up his cape. wishing I watched more frequently. does anyone happen to know the track that plays in the beginning?
+Dom Giunta I don't think he's going to stop anytime soon. He's getting almost 9k a month on Patreon from this channel.
Star Wolf wow that's pretty good, but on one of his recent videos he said he's giving up reviewing full time, and he's going to review a lot less, which is kind of a bummer. I guess one dude can't live on 56k a year from TH-cam
+Dom Giunta No, he was going to do that but then he did a Patreon as a last resort and now he's back full-time.
Iron Tager YO WHAT I DIDNT KNOW MAN THATS RADICAL
+Dom Giunta Tell me about it. He's getting over 10k a month to produce his show now. Apparently it's the most successful Patreon campaign ever. I think...
can not wait to see whats in that book to night
I wouldn't have gave this a second look if it weren't featured in CGR. If this has a reasonable battery life, then I guess I'll look into it.
Is it still available for purchase?
please make a review on at games sega genesis ultimate portable game player
the main problem with this AT Games SMS is that it neither save state or store memory on games, which make Ys and Phantasy Star unplayable.
Well thats a deal breaker. Thanks for the info.
Fabiano Dias Well, there is no expandable storage, so you cannot play Phantasy Star or Ys, so you're stuck with the built in, 30 games, which don't include those
Rudy Tabootie Super unfortunate, Phantasy Star is my deal breaker.
where can i get one cant find them online
Have you ever tried the neogeo x handheld?
+cmckittrick91 I think he does have one.
Too bad it doesn't had an SD card slot like the Genesis version, otherwise I'd get one. The Genesis version lets you load up on roms, and it can even play NES roms for some reason, but not SMS or Game Gear.
+badbirdkc Wait, it does? Time to load some NES roms on mine, then.
Does it let you do snes roms? I know this is old. I just got here
These things are impossible to find now
LOL i found it in the thrift store for $15 and i love it.
Now guys lets dont always think bad about at games
Mark any thoughts on Star Wars 7?
+Logical Phallusy It's pretty much the best fanmade movie ever, but as a standalone movie it's just mediocre.
+Kurt Angerdinger More like a mixture of all 3 original trilogy films, not just IV.
Also wasn't that everyone wanted? Not more scenes about how sand's irritating? ;)
I have the Genesis portable and its awesome! :D
Does it support save states?
Do they sell these? Cause i wanna get one
Can anyone list the built in games, please?
Yes but dose it play Truxton though?
Reynosa México! I AM FROM VERACRUZ MÉXICO
I have the Sega Genesis version of this. It's not bad at all.
+Chappy422 Same here, though I wish I had waited for the second model to come out with saving capabilities.
does this console neet baterys ?
I can't understand why do they remove this in thier website
I think it is actually pretty good! There is Sonic so... imma buy it! 🙂🙂🤔🤑
When I was 7 my dad bought me one of these on an easyJet plane and I played it to death for years only now do I realise I was playing old sega games
where do you buy this?
