If you must know, my bookshelf isn't against a wall; it's under a stairwell. The box was behind the bookshelf and under the stairs.How could a box big enough to fit a Genesis fit behind your book self and you couldn't see it?
My original Genesis is absolutely not for sale. I'll sell you one of my six or seven others though.I'll buy your Genesis if you are selling

. good thing my friend Hobie hook me up with a trade last year. 
I think I've come down with a case of silicon fever!Making love to your console while plugged in is a serious health hazard.
Don't give up Seven! If you keep on looking you may find that lost game system and those lost cartridges. Search hard.i still can't find my genesis model 2 at my parent's house (and my other lost NES games)

Great story, plus we may soon have another member, maybe your mom!BlackDS wrote:When randomly digging around through my basement, I found my moms old 2600 from when she was a kid.

Damn, how come you hear all the time about new consoles breaking coughxboxcough and an atari that sat in a basement for at least 10 years still runs like a champ? Are companies making electronics (not just X-box, but cars, appliances, everything) designed to break 1 year after the warranty expires?
sorry for the rant out of nowhere.
With two YLODs in under 90 days, I am starting to wonder myself.brendanraymond wrote:its all a conspiracy!
Its designed to break after warrenty is a) expires and b) if it sensors that you have removed the "warrenty is void" sticker.
Its recurring business/customers
we live in the disposable world now.
That's a great story. I'm glad your Mom could relive some of her younger days by being reunited with her game console.BlackDS wrote:When randomly digging around through my basement, I found my moms old 2600 from when she was a kid.

That's called planned obsolescence. It's a concept that's been around since the 1930s actually. Manufacturers know how to design things to break as soon as the warranty runs out to force consumers to buy more.brendanraymond wrote:its all a conspiracy!

You should get yourself that Genesis tomorrow. Then post back here and tell us what it feels like to play Sega Genesis games again.brendanraymond wrote:back to the genesis. I'll be getting mine again after 15 or so years after a stupid trade in (had about 40 odd games too >_<) maybe tomorrow i'll get it
