I guess I'm the oddball. This wee Genesis is a fun product!
Fun little system at a terrific deal! I have the handheld, with the SD cart slot, and that's an amazing handheld, this can't compare - I wish it had that slot, and a few extra games, like Chakan, the handheld has, but this is still a fun, inexpensive deal - Mine was like $27, looked like new to me! SO, back in the early 90's, I was an SNES/NES guy, and never really knew anyone with a Sega. I've since played a ton of games, via emulation, like that handheld, and this, so I have no idea if the sound is "off" or whatever, I just know it's really fun. Yeah, there are like 40 stupid games on here, besides Genesis hits, but who cares. I'm in love with Sonic 2 right now, that music on the chemical plant level is awesome, and sounds good to me! This is a perfect thing for me, I just bought a cart which works great- I have a ton of vintage games and systems, and if you take this thing for what it is, it's just as fun as the real deal. Don't let these pessimistic, 24 year old losers on youtube bring you down. Just pick one up, and have fun. Talking with your girl on the phone, with some Mortal Kombat 3 on in the background, brings back a ton of 90's memories, and for that, this wee Genesis rules. Yeah, I know there's a new version, and whatever. I figure I'll eventually get around and find a beautiful REAL Sega Genesis with box and such, anyways, but for the price of like.. a couple of carts, you could be playing a few dozen.
RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE.
BTW - controllers work great. Yeah, they feel a little cheap, but from what I remember from playing a friend's back in like '91, the entire system felt cheap, compared to a SNES.
