Sega Genesis is a great system, especially for retro gamers and those feeling nostalgic! It was released in the very late 80s by Sega and survived into the mid-90s. It was a 16-Bit system that played high-quality graphic, high-color 2D games; with a few small exceptions of very early and crude 3D games. It used cartridge based-games. The system is known for it's library of exclusive Sega titles and arcade hits. It is also a very durable gaming system that should last many, many years as long as it's not excessively misused or abused. The main competition for the Sega Genesis was Nintendo's 16-Bit Super Nintendo system. The competition was fierce between the two competitors at this time, and many gamers still argue which system was better. Which system was better truly comes down to simply what games do you personally like better? Sega's game library sported many hits and gaming gems such as: Sonic the Hedgehog 1-3, Sonic & Knuckles, Vectorman 1-2, Streets of Rage 1-2, Street Fighter II series, Mortal Kombat 1-3. Phantasy Star series, X-Men 1-2, Spider-Man, WWF, and many others. The Sega Genesis also had many accessories that furthered the uses of the Sega Genesis. Some were good, some not so good. But the fact that you can "expand" your Sega Genesis is great! -The Sega CD attachment allowed the Sega Genesis to play CD-Rom based games. This allowed for larger games, better sound, and better graphics on games. A good investment if you can find one working as it should. -The Sega 32X attachment allowed the Sega Genesis to play 32-Bit Cartridge games. This also allowed for larger games, better sound, and better graphics on games. Not a great accessory, more for the hardcore retro-gamer, or collector. There were very few games released for this. -The Power Unit Converter attachment allowed the Sega Genesis to play 8-Bit Sega Master System games (Sega's previous 8-bit gaming system). This doubled your Sega Genesis library and is much cheaper than buying an actual Sega Master System which is now a collector's item. A great accessory I use regularly. -The Game Genie: Sega Genesis Model allows you to add enhancements and cheats to your favorite Sega Genesis games. It does what it says. If you like to cheat in your games, this is for you. If you like challenge, this probably isn't for you. So all in all, the Sega Genesis is a great gaming system for any retro gamer, anyone feeling nostalgic, a young child gamer (due to it's simple games and durability), or trying to get a non-gamer into gaming.Read full review
Bring back Yester-Year and plug into the good ole days with the less known Sega Genesis gaming system. I own a Playstation 3 next generation console but I yearned for the games of my childhood. I bought an Atari 2600 also on eBay and felt my gaming system collection was born but no where near complete. Next up I needed a Genesis. After purchasing one I began playing all the NHL titles I could find on eBay and was amazed at how well I remembered how fun, easy to play, and incredibly entertaining these games were. You don't need a zillion buttons, HD quality graphics or blue tooth to have a ball playing retro games. The Seaga Genesis has many great titles to choose from and for the money...will provide you with hours of entertaining battles with friends or against enemy AI without breaking your budget. Sonic, Earthworm Jim, and other similar games can easily be picked up by first time gamers as well, so don't be afraid to purchase this system for younger gamers too...it's not just for those who have owned one in the past..........but it sure does jog many many fun memories for second time owners as well!Read full review
Well folks, It's a Sega CD, simple as that, its a great system to get, but only if you can get it for cheap. Normally, the Model 2 Sega CD are a lot easier to find, are a bit more durable, and tend to run a bit cheaper. So why buy a Model 1 Sega CD you ask? In short, because it looks a lot cooler. Also, for the first time Sega CD buyers out there, ALWAYS go for the Sega CDs marked "Does not power on". I cannot stress this following statement enough, 99% of the time, the reason the Sega CD doesn't turn on is because it BLEW A FUSE BECAUSE THE OWNER USED A NINTENDO POWER ADAPTER. The Nintendo power adapter may fit inside the Sega CDs power slot, but it outputs power differently, causing the Sega CD to pop a fuse for safety. It's an extremely simple fix for anyone with a paperclip and some electrical tape, or anyone with a little soldering know-how, fix the fuse and BAM! You've got a perfectly working Sega CD for pennies. I've seen Sega CDs go for hundreds, but with this fix, you can buy a Sega CD for a fraction of the cost. So the morals of this story are: 1) Never, ever use a Nintendo power adapter in a Sega product, and 2) Buy the Sega CDs that don't power on to save a lot of $$$Read full review
SEGA! Yes the Sega Genesis started the 16-Bit revolution and lasted for a good number of years with a healthy library of games. It started bringing sport games to a more realistic feel, (until the current next-gen systems). The system itself has a headphone jack for those who stay up all night trying not to wake anyone up while they play, which added to its already sleek design. It has been reported that the Sega Genesis was not powerful enough for a First Person Shooter (FPS), however, Accolade had proven them wrong by bringing Zero Tolerance, an awesome game I myself own. Keep in mind that every system have their good games and bad, so I personaly do suggest that if you never played or owned a Genesis, get one because they are now affordable due to their age. If any game keeps you coming back for more, then it is a good game in a system that delivers, and the Sega Genesis system delivers! I highly recommend it!! The sound is still awsome and I would like you gamers looking for a good start, check these games: Shinobi series, Golden Axe, Sonic the Hedgehog, Vectorman, Mortal Kombat I & II, and Madden NFL 94. There are dozens more, but that should be a good start up with a Genesis. The claim that the Genesis brings the arcade games home is accurate with only a few differences such as the sound and maybe some added bonus levels on some games that were not added to the arcade versions. One last note, I also recommend purchasing a Sega Nomad, it is a full prtable Sega Genesis system that you can either take with you or hook it up to a T.V. So all you new and young gamers out there, prepare to see how we Verteran Gamers played without any memory cards! Happy Gaming!Read full review
Released in 1989,following the release of the TurboGrafx-16 by NEC, the Sega Genesis was in the right place at the right time... briefly. Although the Super Nintendo (SNES) was set to ship in a couple years, only the Genesis had the "normal" name recognition (due to Sega's Master System, their response to the Nintendo Entertainment System) and the 16 bit on-the-market technology to lure gamers to "the next level" - NEC's system just LOOKED and sounded expensive, and though some balked at Sega's initial retail launch price of $189.99 (which later droppd to about $160) for the Genesis, its sales easily passed up the TurboGrafx-16 whose few anemic titles, compared to the surprisingly large Genesis selection, caused its quick death and allowed Genesis to lead the console field, however briefly, as it was only a bit more expensive but had DOUBLE the raw gaming power and graphics of the 8 bit Nintendo. Genesis also had an additional quality other systems lacked - SEX APPEAL. It was sleek, black, ergonomically rounded like something out of a sci-fi movie, and contained in a subdued yet high-tech console case with a spherical hub in its center, a couple of shiny identifying markings and a red light, contrasted with the black case, making it look like a flattened face of a Cylon from the original Battlestar Galactica series. The controllers featured a mysterious THIRD button and were also sleek and ergonomic and did not leave permanent puncture wounds in your palms like the unforgivably boxy Nintendo controllers. Basically, the Sega Genesis, when looked at objectively, ignoring its seeming physical differences, was simply a "Nintendo - But Twice As Good". It more or less played and featured the same types of games, though role-playing games (some even featuring an unheard of "battery" to let you save games right onto the cartridge itself) inundated the lineup, and happily most were quite good, if pricey - the true graphics and gaming capabilities were really brought out with multi-player, "freestyle" side-scrolling and fighting games such as Golden Axe, Streets of Rage and Pit Fighter, which opened up an incredible world of gaming for two players at a time. Coupled with usually decent or even GOOD stereo-type music and sound effects, the Genesis loudly announced its intention to not only bask in the limelight as the premier gaming system, but to maintain that position - and it did for quite a while until finally the Super Nintendo had amassed enough quality titles and developed their programming techniques well enough that the Sega Genesis was eventually toppled by sheer attrition, as Nintendo dropped loads of cash to promote its SNES and make its games easily available to retailers. Although various modifications, add-ons and other attempts to modernize and upgrade the Sega Genesis were attempted, they were always seen as last-minute straw-grasping, usually not even fully tested and functional, and so Nintendo once again reclaimed the Console Throne. Still, every now and then, its fun to pull out Streets of Rage or some of the other quality games that even the SNES just never seemed to be able to emulate or capitalize on effectively, and realize just how much of a technical marvel the Sega Genesis was.Read full review
