Sega sent me a code for the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis classics, so I thought I'd give it a review. After all it's up my street, or at least adjacent to my street.
Is it any good? Well.... kinda.

Good evening my favourite Patreon people.
I was bored the other night and so decided to pit 1K Chess on the ZX81 vs. a couple of modern chess engines to see the outcome.
Here is the result. 2018-04-16 17:28:09 +0000 UTC View Post

Still, it's only a C64 Mini, it's not like it's a proper piece of retro hardware.
