It has been 15 years but I own a Genesis again!

I originally picked up a High Definition Graphics model when I was a kid. My brother and I held onto it until I was 16 when it became a victim of "trade-in", where it was handed over to Software Etc to go toward the price of a Playstation (oh, be quiet, boo hiss you).

So today I picked one up from Game Over Videogames here in town. I had been watching Craig's and checking pawn shops and Goodwill for months with no luck. So I finally had some spare cash on me and went to Game Over. The price wasn't bad considering the guy pulled out all of their Genesis so I could get exactly which model I wanted. They also threw in the A/V cable for no extra charge, even gave me a choice between it and the RF adapter. I picked up the non-High Definition Graphics model with the A6 - A6.8 board. So I have the great sound and video and a slightly newer system.

Picked up Ranger X, as well. It's the first time I've played the game. I was having difficulty with it and then got serious. I beat it on my 3rd play: normal, of course.

So now I'll need to track down some of my old favorites I should have never sold like Streets of Rage 2 and Gunstar Heroes.

I'm a bit drunk right now so pardon the lack of coherency in this post if there is any.

You know, trade-in affected me and my N64, and when I realized it, I was f'ing pissed. I'm still saving money to get back the Mario Parties. But congrats good sir!

Congrats! You deserve that drink. Couple suggestions to rebuild your collection.

You already know me. A must have.


Red Zone. Don't ask, just get it and go home happy.

This game found me sometime in childhood and I didn't remember it until a few weeks ago. Once I saw an image of the title screen it all came back. What a weird and fun game! Hunting for a good priced cart soon.

So now I'll need to track down some of my old favorites I should have never sold like Streets of Rage 2 and Gunstar Heroes.

If you like games like those you really should look for TMNT: Hyperstone Heist and Golden Axe. With a partner by your side they're too much fun to miss out on. Congrats on picking up that Genesis!

Nice! The genesis is in my top 3 favorite game systems; you should pick up Rocket Knight Adventures and Dynamite Headdy as a suggestion

Congratulations! I too know what it's like to be reunited with a Genesis (see my signature). Since everyone else is recommending games, I want to recommend Comix Zone.
