OK, now this system is what I call the 'shooter' system. They seemed to have some of the best shooters around. I highly enjoy, but never have beaten, M.U.S.H.A. . Another really cool game was a screen by screen game called Gain Ground, which I'm having trouble finding now. Both fun games.

I was never really a big Sega fan until the Dreamcast, I was a hardcore Nintendo Fanboy up until the N64, and even for the early days of that I tried and tried to convince Playstation addicts that the N64 was the cool thing, but then my brother got one, and I converted to the dark side for a while... now I want all my classic consoles back. I never had a genesis, but I would certainly like to get one. It would have to have the 6 button controller though, that three button switch thing was terrible.

I love Sega for one reason. Sonic. One of all-time favorite video game series to this day is Sonic the Hedgehog. I loved it back then on the Sega Genesis, and I still love it today on the gamecube.

Yes, Sonic was certainly awesome. I think it was probably the main reason that Sega was able to hold on against the SNES for any amount of time. The Genesis had been out longer than the SNES, but all the games just seems darker in their colors. Oh YEAH! Skitchin'! I loved that game. Also Might and Magic. Good times.

Streets Of Rage 1 & 2- Two of the finest beat-em-ups out there. M.U.S.H.A., Thunder Force II, Gaiares- very fun shooters indeed. And 'Landstalker'- quite simply the greatest game ever made. All on Genesis.

I used to love Golden Axe and Super Hang-On. It's awesome that they came together in a six-pack release. I also liked a game that I believe was called Subterrania. One of the really bad games, though, was CastleVania Bloodlines! Horrible!

I probably would have liked the Genesis, but where I lived (and still live, a very small place) they didn't sell anything except Nintendo, and now I'm a hardcore Nintendo fan.

Anyone who has a Sega 16-bit or Genesis deserves to get Contra: Hard Corps (Probotector in EU methinks). My favorite of the Contras.
My List. Remember, everything can be bought, for a price.

Well, I took a pic of my Genesis collection about two days ago, and forgot to post it. NES-Luke was crackin' the whip over AIM at me (no funny ideas, Manuel :) )to post the pic, so here it is. It's a decent collection, and I've handed it down to my son:

I heard the Genesis doesn't have a lockout chip so that you can play your games from all over the world on the same console... just the carts have other shapes.
Is that so?
P.S.: As you see... no funny ideas from me. At least I'll not post it here. :P

my understanding is that it doesn't have a lockout chip, but there are solder pads inside the console that are bridged to select the location and TV standard it uses. in theory it would be rather simple to make a region switch for it. But not as simple as clipping the lockout chip.
