Worth the money.

There are a lot of games on the console hard drive itself such as Sonic the Hedgehog series (except Sonic3), Mortal Kombat 1,2 and 3, and others I recognize from my childhood which is a huge plus. However there are around 20 games that are cheap slap together games that I would've played on Window 95 back in the day. I look past that because yes you can play the old Genesis cartridges on this platform. The picture quality is good, the control response is excellent. Having said that you can plug in the old controllers from the Genesis but it comes with two 6-button wireless controllers that only require AAA batteries. I have using the wireless controllers and have had no issues at all. The only other downfall is the sound from the cartridges are not the same. I played Sonic 2 on the hard drive and it the sounds are what they should be then I put in the cartridge and a lot of the sounds are not the same. I noticed this with the others which is not a big deal I am just happy to be able to play these games again without paying a huge sum of money. All in all I give it 4 stars cause it does work well except the sound difference.Read full review

Part of the slot broke during opening the item. The game itself works, but I can't give it as a gift with a broken piece on it even though it doesn't affect the installed games. I will keep it at home for the great grandkids to play.Read full review

Good, old school fun!

I had been looking for a good deal on one, and glad I found it! It plays really well, and has a lot of good games built in. Main annoyances are 1) the controllers have to be aimed directly at the box to work, 2) not HDMI 3) sound quality isn’t great/exactly same as original.

I’d recommend it and I enjoyed playing it

The unit works, the shipment was fast. The suggestion would be to remove the old batteries. Other than that. All good.

Works great and kinda nostalgic

Kind of a blast from the recent past. I remember how astonished I was how state-of-the-art the Sega Genesis was after graduating from Pong in the seventies and Atari in the eighties. Still trying to figure out which cartridges I can use in it, but besides that the games console is quite fun, especially for the price.Read full review

This is not bad if you don’t have any genesis games. It comes with 80. I purchased this for my nephew because he wanted to play retro genesis games. He can use my cartridges in this system too.

Retro

I wanted to play retro from Sega because I'm a fan of Nintendo, the first console I saw was an Atari with Pacman and then saw a Sega Genesis in my neighbor's houses. Mom didn't want us to have those because she thought they would distract me from my studies, so when I was an adult I began to buy retro games and consoles.Read full review
