The Arcade Classic is a Sega Mega Drive console on a chip manufactured by AtGames. Though not the first console by AtGames to hit the market, the Arcade Classic is perhaps the most "famous" to date, due to its ability to play Sega Mega Drive cartridges through a built-in cartridge slot.
Hardware
There are two key hardware revisions of the AtGames Classic; an older variant which relies solely on wired controllers, and a newer model which is compatible with wireless controllers manufactured by AtGames. The later can be identified by its built-in infra-red semi-circle receiver and power LED at the front of the unit. Both are otherwise much the same product - a very small Mega Drive console with a cartridge slot, power and reset buttons, a switch for alternating between PAL and NTSC video standards and ports for both the power supply and composite video/audio connectors.
Shipping with the console, as is common with AtGames products, is the Firecore operating system with a number of built-in Mega Drive games. The precise list of games varies between products and distributors - across the world 5, 15, 18, 20, 60 and 80 game variants of the Arcade Classic have been spotted, however the number is often expanded by the inclusion of original, non-Mega Drive games, believed to have originated from AtGames themselves at some point during the 2000s.
As the system is reliant on emulation, the system is region free, however some games exhibit graphical issues and may not boot at all. Poor audio emulation leads to significant sound problems in many games - a common issue in many consoles of this nature. A lack of expansion ports mean the system is incompatible with add-ons such as the Sega Mega-CD and Sega 32X.
