The Sega Neptune is the all-in-one Genesis and 32X retro console that never was. It was supposed to serve as a stopgap for players before investing in the Saturn and its wild new 3D capabilities, but it was inevitably cancelled. However, in an age where it's possible to recreate even the obscurest systems using FPGA tech, it should come as no surprise that it's finally getting a release, and it's almost ready for take-off.
A new video shows the "GF1 Neptune" running Knuckles' Chaotix for the Sega 32X via a Mega Everdrive cartridge, with the demo representing a development milestone (Cheers, Time Extension). The team behind the console, GameCare, confirms that the system is now "up and running" and the main Mega Drive (Genesis), Master System, and 32X are all now functional on the remake.
