a google image search for "megadrive" eventually lead me to this page

what the hell are these MAGISTR drives?? how bout that PSONE looking version?? WTF

 

[OMONowez]

the Magistr Drive Z is a PSX console in a weird case, that's all 😀

this was often the case in Russia that gaming consoles were released in weird cases, technicaly beeing exactly the same as the original, however don't ask me why ^^

if you need something translated from that page, just ask me here, I happen to speak russian ^^

i'm more interested in Where to buy them 🙂

 

[OMONowez]

I would say somewhere in Russia and probably somewhere in Asia ^^

We have a still very active Megadrive/NES market here, mainly due to low cost of consoles and cartridges. And Newgame is one of the main manufacturers of them...

And btw these things aren't just the same megadrive clones, many of them have a few more features. For example this one (http://newgame.ru/16bit/Photos/m_16_fdd.jpg) has a build-in FDD drive, printer port, keyboard support (you can tape and then print texts with it). Also is has a few build-in programs (BASIC, calculator, simple text editor, rtc clock) - see here: http://newgame.ru/16bit/obuch.htm

This thing (http://www.newgame.ru/cyber-shell/) has a windows-type OS (well...not really an OS, more like a bios with many features 🙂) with mouse support (included with system), flash memory for saving all settings, voice synthesizer, file manager, paint program, simple music and graphics editors, etc.

If you have any questions about them, feel free to ask me 🙂

And btw you can't buy them anywhere outside of Russia, they're made here just for the local market....

well I don't live in Russia since those NES Fakes with those 100000000 in 1 Cartridges ^^ (warning, slightly exaggerated 😉

:lol: Thats very cool.

Seems to be a classic genesis with a extention port (HDD...).

Its funny.

Last year, i found a psx (a bit less large) with a sms inside. And a pokemon game, lol.

The guy told me that he bought it in thailand.

Sure that thailand is also a big producer of wierd consoles.

KuKzz, i have a lot of questions but more technical question : can you open it and take a pic ? 🙂

by the way, did the russians got the never-released FDD&Keyb to make this one ?!

And does the CyberShell is a Megadrive ?! I saw one in sell somewhere
