You can read my 2024 review of the Polymega platform. Since the time of that review, they’ve released a Nintendo 64 module, various disc-based game compilations, and the long-awaited light guns. There’s still much more to come from Playmaji for their intriguing platform, but again, who knows exactly when.

Each multi-platform, multi-game collection includes:

• Polymega Game DVD
• Visual Companion

• Collection Pin

Polymega® Collection Vol. 11 – ADVENTURE includes Adventure (2600), Dark Cavern (2600), Dark Chambers (2600, 7800), Dracula: The Undead (Lynx), Haunted House (2600), Lost Tomb (arcade), Secret Quest (2600), SwordQuest: EarthWorld (2600), SwordQuest: Fireworld (2600), and SwordQuest: WaterWorld (2600).

While it’s arguable there’s sufficient value in each of these collections, reaching the dozen DVD plateau is pretty good, plus there’s another new platform, the Atari Jaguar, on the compatibility list (although not open to user-owned software yet). Let’s just hope Playmaji can get those light guns to us soon!

Per usual with Playmaji, we’ll likely have a long wait before this stuff is delivered, but at least the Polymega platform continues to not only show signs of life, but continue to expand.

In any case, the best deal I’ve found at the moment is the Dream Vapor Special Edition on Amazon. While it’s listed at $52.99, which is not great, there’s a $10.60 coupon, which is stackable, meaning you can purchase more than one controller. At $42.39 each, it’s a steal. The next lowest-priced options are Electric Volt at $49.49 and Robot White at $49.99.

I’m not sure how long those prices will last, so buy them while you can. I also plan at some point to provide more detail of how I use these controllers in combination with various systems, including the aforementioned Polymega, Evercade VS, and Atari’s THE400 Mini.
