Summary: still going strong
Comment: i've had my sega for so long i cannot remember. i have passed it on to my little girl who is six years old, and it does my heart good to hear that old sega introduction music. she prefers that over the other game systems in the household (i even have an old psone system). this is one system that has lasted throughout the years and i will keep it as an collector's item. original sega rules other systems drool.

Summary: One of the greatest consoles ever...
Comment: I purchased a Sega Genesis console back in November 1989. My Genesis is still in mint condition and I pull it out once in a while to relive the classics. If you do not own one of these gems, I highly recommend that you pick one up! There are hundreds of titles available, most of which sell for only a few dollars. Some of these titles are among the greatest video games ever created; you must own these if you're a collector.
While playing these games, it's important to consider the limits the game developers were constrained to. Unlike today's consoles - with seemingly unlimited CPU power, bandwidth and memory - the developers were forced to work with a very small amount of storage capacity to hold graphics and sound data. Over time, these developers came up with some very clever techniques to overcome these limitations. I recall being "wowed" by the effects in games such as Gunstar Heroes and Earthworm Jim...effects I had no idea my little old Genesis could do more than five years after owning it! Over time, I came to really appreciate these efforts and continued looking forward to how much further the envelope would be pushed.
Below is a list of must-own games for the Genesis. This is by no means a definitive list; these are just my favorites among those games I have played.
Platformers: Sonic 1, 2 & 3, Chuck Rock 2, Castle of Illusion, Ristar, Alex Kidd, Earthworm Jim, Aladdin, Ecco, Flink*(see bottom) and Shinobi 3.
Fighters/Brawlers: Golden Axe, Streets of Rage 1 & 2, Eternal Champions, Street Fighter II CE and Two Crude Dudes.
Shooters: Gunstar Heroes, Truxton, Sub Terrania, Gaiares, M.U.S.H.A., Ranger X and Raiden.
RPGs: Phantasy Star 2, 3 & 4, Beyond Oasis, Land Stalker, Crusader of Centy and Shining Force II.
Sports: Arnold Palmer Tournament Golf, Madden and Tommy Lasorda Baseball.
If you're inclined to pick up the Sega CD add-on, you should also consider the following: Flink, Wonderdog, Final Fight CD, Sonic CD, Earthworm Jim SE, Robo Aleste, Silpheed, AH3 Thunderstrike and Batman Returns.
*The Misadventures of Flink is available on cartridge in the Euro market only; however, it's available domestically on the Sega CD.

Summary: One of My Greatest (game) Loves!!!
Comment: I SOOOOOOO LOVE THIS GAME!!!
Shoot, hook me up with college football and Madden Football, I am ONE happy camper! I enjoy Battletoads, Sonic the Hedgehog (it was the second or third, the one with a fox named Tails), an another on, it was called something "X", it had Motley Crue in it. It's been awhile since I played since I haven't played since I moved last year. But college ball is my FAVE! Seeing the crowd going wild, and a player getting "cussed out" by the coach (which, truthfully speaking, a coach shouldn't cuss at a player). Man. Oh, I've played Batman Returns as well. And basketball, I had a basketball game. When it comes to some things, I appreciate the older stuff better. I was first exposed to this in '96. Some years later, I bought one for myself. I'm glad to see some are still selling so if I unpack my game and it doesn't work, I can replace it. If you buy this, buy the college football and Madden.
