April 17th, 2012, 13:46 Posted By: wraggster

The Sega Mega Drive is one of the most iconic and fondly remembered video game platforms of all time. Pixel Nation is proud to announce they are taking pre-orders on a deluxe collectible book series that will be the world's most complete and leading source of information on Sega's classic and beloved 16-bit console.

Taking in over 900 Sega Mega Drive game titles, hundreds of Mega-CD and 32X games, and including a complete guide to hardware and accessories, the Mega Drive: Total series of books will be an unmissable, beautiful reference/collectors guide.

The series will be split into several volumes, to ensure we can give the most in depth content ever created for the console, with each volume containing roughly 180 pages of full colour glossy print. The book is due for a July release but Pre-Orders for first editions are available today.

Volume One covers nearly 300 games with statistics, game overviews and using over 1,000 illustrations and pictures. Just take a look at our design concept pages for a preview of what we have in store. A must for any Genesis/Mega Drive collector.:

Circuit bending a Sega Saturn

April 12th, 2012, 01:27 Posted By: wraggster


Making cool glitched-up graphics from Ataris and Nintendos is old hat, but not much has been done with circuit bending slightly more modern consoles. [big pauper] found his old Sega Saturn in his grandma’s attic and wondered what secrets this forgotten box held. It turns out he can make some pretty cool sounds and even cooler glitched out graphics. The pic above is from Virtua Fighter; done correctly these glitched low-polygon graphics could easily find themselves in a very stylistic indie game.

When console modders face off, only good things happen

March 21st, 2012, 11:54 Posted By: wraggster


We really love when friendly competition leads to excellent hacking. Not too long ago, we showed you a nicely done Sega Genesis portable put together by console hacker [Downing] who challenged fellow hacker [EVIL NOD] to a build off. The two were hacking Sega consoles, [Downing’s] for personal use, while [EVIL NOD] was working on a commissioned build.
As you might have guessed, [Downing] finished first, but that doesn’t mean [EVIL NOD’s] console is anything but spectacular. His Sega Multi Gen is a portable Genesis console modified to play both NTSC and PAL games. It features a large 5” PSOne screen as well as the guts from an official 6-button Genesis game pad. The case was vacuum formed by [Downing], and is another example of his fine workmanship. The console looks as if it’s had the controller melted right into its face – a design that is sure to give you the authentic feel of sitting in front of your TV mashing away at the buttons.
Check out the video below to see an unboxing video that [EVIL NOD] put together before sending the console out to its new owner.
