SEGA Saturn Laptop Revives an Old Gaming Classic

— September 14, 2011 — Tech
One of the latest console mods comes from c_mon who designed the SEGA Saturn Laptop, which should bring back plenty of nostalgia for those who have been gaming since their hands could hold a controller.

The now defunct SEGA Saturn has now been brought back to life in the form of a laptop. So what are some of the changes done to the retro console? Designer cs_mon has added a small 5” Sony PSOne as a flip-up screen, which is definitely something new. There’s also a large wooden case that encompasses the SEGA Saturn Laptop that features Sonic the Hedgehog engraved on either side. The disc is now visibly spinning and there’s even blue fluorescent light on the side. An additional cooling fan has been added inside to prevent the system from overheating.
