A fairly old pirate "Genesis 3" with built-in game

I came across this a couple of years ago, but the site disappeared completely for a long time. I just happened to stumble across it today, and remembered seeing a review of a pirate "Genesis 3" with a handful of built-in games.

They're probably a nightmare to find now, and no doubt a lot more expensive than a Radica. But maybe compatibility will be better?

Anybody know anything more about this one?

In Brazil, the Genesis is known as the Mega Drive, so I would have thought none of their units would have "Genesis" written on them - but they do make some very similar Master System units.

I wonder if you could butcher the ROM chip inside the TecToy Mega Drive and build a portable with 60 built-in games?

They also make a very unusual Master System handheld which transmits the TV signal over the air, so you don't even have to connect it via cables

There is absolutely no doubt that thing is pirate. Titus the Fox, Son Son? Those were games on other systems. Pirates always train games to start on other levels.

Hmm.... I wonder if that SMS handheld would run on a Pocket TV
