Thank You so much ( I Love It ) !!!!!!!!!!
A great console, through and through! However, if you can, find someone that is selling a "High Definition Graphics" version. This is the original model that has the best quality sound. Watch out for the "stinker" models.
This review is for a Sega Genesis – Model 1. I have been playing genesis games on the AtGames Sega Genesis, which has been a blast. I think that the Model 1 has better sound, though I enjoyed the sound using carts on the AtGames model. The graphics seem smoother and the games seem a little more responsive. So, the Model 1 is an improvement over the AtGames version, which I already loved.
The game was not up to snuff due to cosmetic repair made by owner. It was not a successful repair but the shop is awesome because the shop was asked would shop replace flawed attachment. The shop sent an replacement and what a difference the replacement made. The characters in the video game when inserted, are as crystal clear and sharp as though it was a brand new game. When I turn the game off the television program is pristine. Should you be looking for a sound shop with integrity, honesty and with virtue seek out “YeOldeGameShoppe”. When you check out, know this.When the item(s) sent reach your door YeOldeGameShoppe wants nothing more but another satisfied customer.YeOldeGameShoppe is a champion shop. Whether it be a game or console to controllers or accessories seek out the champion shop…”YeOldeGameShoppe”.I will be going back for more.9/14/2013
Sonic The Hedgehog, ring a bell? haha, anyway the SEGA genesis was king at its time and now its a vintage legend, lol, its a really nice buy and you’ll enjoy its large game selection (try shining force!)
This review will make more sense to you if you have read my review of the SNES… I know this review may catch some heat also, but I don’t care! I would say this is the 3rd greatest system ever made, 3rd only to the SNES first, and then the NES in 2nd place. To understand why you will have to read my SNES review… What made this generation of gaming so unique is that when you had a game like castelvania on SNES and Genesis, they were different games!! Not the same exact game for every system! Also, the only way to get Sonic was on Sega systems. This is a hard item to review b/c if you are looking at buying one I’d have to assume you know all about it… I believe it came out in 1989… and actually for that time and Era, it was hands down the best system out there for it’s time for sure!!
Great system from my childhood. Too bad the rf switch that came with it was broke, but after I bought av cables it eventually worked (Nothing would appear on the tv at first, but i firmly placed the cartridge in the system and then it worked)
My daughter (23 years) requested this for Christmas. I have a PS3 and thought, “oh how boring”. Alas, she loves it and says it is more fun than the new high tech gaming systems. The shop included 10 games, all the power cords and hook-up cords. It was definitely plug and play!
….love this classic game console…miss this awesome system for the game experience and sound quality that it provides…in my opinion, …there is no other …game system that compares to the genius and entertainment it gives…others may look more realistic…but lack t b email other components and intangibles that aforementioned… :)
Made a great retro Christmas gift.
