Content: What can be said about the Megadrive/Genesis that hasn't been said already it came out in August of 1989 came packed with Altered Beast games at launch were Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Forgotten Worlds, Revenge Of Shinobi. A whole host of games were released between 1989-1997. Streets of Rage trilogy Sonic, Sonic 2 Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles which you could lock Sonic 2 & 3 on Sonic & Knuckles, Batman 1990 based on the 89 movie. Batman Returns, Robocop vs The Terminator, The Terminator, Judge Dredd, Alien3, Strider, Golden Axe 1 & 2, Mortal Kombat 1 & MK 3 Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, God that's not even a quarter of a percent of the Megadrive/Genesis library of games. It had 3 versions 1989 original 1993 smaller model 2 model 3 1998 even smaller that's not compatible W/ the add on's. Also there was a CDX dual 1994 JVC X EYE 1993 those were a combination of Genesis and Sega CD. You know this was a great console and it was the one that made Sega a legit company This what I grew up with and it's a great system.
Summary: The console that started the 16 bit era

After waiting two weeks I find out that they are going to refun my money. Which I have not even seen in my account... I'm furious and beyond disapointed...I waisted my money on the other things and wont buy from them again.
Summary: Horrible...

Content: 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: still going strong

Content: 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 the greatest consoles ever...
