  DETAILS ON THE 3 DIFFERENT GENESIS MODELS
Review created: 12/02/05
104 of 128 people found this review helpful.

The 16-bit revolution! Note that all 3 versions of the genesis below play the same exact games, and use the same controllers - the most notable difference between them is simply the size and look.

GENESIS 1:
This is the largest of the 3 Sega Genesis models. The Sega Master System adapter works only with this style unit (this adapter allows one to play the older SMS games on this 16-bit system). This is the only model with an earphone jack (with volume control).

GENESIS 2:
A smaller version of the genesis (about 2/3rds the size of the genesis 1) - otherwise it is basically the same as the Genesis 1.

GENESIS 3:
This is the mini version of the Sega Genesis (about twice the size of a portable CD Player) - Does everything the other systems do, but very compact. This unit does not have a light to signify that the power is on and also the reset button has been eliminated (both other models had both of these features).

REVIEWS SOON TO COME: Sega CDX, Sega Nomad, JVC X-Eye, Sega CD, and Sega 32X.

  16 Bit When 16 Bit Wasn't Cool (Yet)
Review created: 10/13/05

50 of 69 people found this review helpful.

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.

I bought the Sega Genesis because it is one of the best consoles of it's time. The games for the Sega Genesis is what made me buy it. I was very impressed with the graphics it had for it's time. It can fit in anywhere cause it was a small size console which I like about it. Overall, I would recommend the Sega Genesis to everyone who hasn't played it before.

  Classic Fun for the AGES(Old Sega marketing)
Review created: 09/14/08
by:

The Genesis was and still is a classic console. I bought one and ended up playing it more than I thought I would. The only issue these consoles had was being dirty, and a simple cleaning kit solves that problem. Mortal Kombat, the Sonic series, Virtua Series, EA, it's all here, and still as good as I remembered!

  Sega Genesis Game Console
Review created: 09/10/08
by:

I bought the Sega Genesis Game Console a couple weeks ago. The description of somewhat dusty was accurate. The listing indicated it had the remotes, the adapter and the AV cord. Here's the big ooooooops -- they failed to mention it's just a single node plug that must connect to another converter box that can be hooked to older model tvs only. I tried a coaxil converter box that was recommended at Radio Shack but that was not compatible with this included AV cord. I had to go out an purchase the correct Stereo AV adapter that exactly retrofits the game to our up to date flat screen tv. That's another $10 I had to outlay. Ask more questions up front!

Simply follow the steps below. I promise you, this is 100% real. I wouldn't jeopardize my eBay account status if this was a scam. My feedback is real and I will answer you on any question! Here is what you do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3 different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster online, Stamp. com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use them to get a free iPod or cash (I did the Stamps. com for a 4 week free trial and it is free!). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 5-13 people (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link (just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your referrals before the auction even ends.
)

Then they will ship your free PS3 or your selected item for free, I chose the PS3. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all the referrals. All you have to do is post it on EBAY or any message boards, blogs, face book, my space or any place you hang out at. ! They use us as advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc...

  Classic That Will Live Forever
Review created: 08/19/08

The sega genesis was the console that debuted Sonic. It's a system that rivaled the SNES and stayed in the fight for a while. There were hundreds of games released. Today we have games that nearly require an extra thumb, or two, to play, but this classic system was fun, simple, and addicting. Even though people can get emulators and roms today playing on the original system will always bring the good ole time back.

  Sega Genesis is it worth it?
Review created: 07/23/08

I decided to buy a Sega Genesis because I loved playing it as a kid! Sonic, Mortal Kombat, and Haunting were a few of my favorites. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants to relive their childhood. It is worth it! Just make sure you trust your seller because you want to buy one that works.

Review created: 07/22/08(updated 07/25/08)

- GRAPHICS: 8/10
- DURABILITY: 6/10
- DESIGN: 7/10
- LIBRARY: 9/10
- OVERALL: 8/10

The Sega Genesis is a classic; it was the first system to ever pose a legitimate threat to the Nintendo dynasty (there was it's predecessor, the Sega Master System, but that faltered relatively quickly). Anyway, as a whole, the Genesis was a solid platform, ushering in the 16-bit era with it's 1989 release. At the time, the graphics were revolutionary, and remained unparalleled until the release of the Super Nintendo a year later. The system eventually developed a good library, including the introduction of Sega's response to Mario, Sonic The Hedgehog, as well as titles such as Mortal Kombat, Vectorman, and Streets of Rage, among others.
Three different versions of the Genesis were eventually released, version 2 arriving in 1994 and version 3 in 1998, with each one getting progressively smaller (version 3 was roughly the size of a portable CD player). Another application for the Genesis is the ability to use the two Sega "leech systems", the SegaCD and the Sega 32X; these were both separate systems, however they could only be used when coupled with the Genesis (though it is worth noting that these two systems are not compatible with version 3 of the Genesis); with the first and second versions, the 32X would plug into the cartridge slot on top of the Genesis, and the SegaCD into the attachment port on the side or beneath, depending on which version of the SegaCD is being used.
But overall, I would recommend the Genesis as a must-have for just about any casual or hardcore classic gaming enthusiast, and fun for just about anyone.
