Awesome! I'm sort of the reverse of you. I wanted the Super Nintendo really bad, but ended up with a Genesis. While I do think the Super Nintendo is the better system, the Genesis is still awesome and really easy to collect (games are cheap!)

I would recommend checking out some of the Disney games (Castle of Illusion, World of Illusion) as well as Rocket Knight Adventures. Have fun!

You also might want to grab yourself a copy of Herzog Zwei if you like strategy at all. Its price has bounced around a lot, but lately seems to be in the $25-$50 range (just ignore the scattering of $100+ listings).

The Genesis is my favorite console along side the Saturn. There are so many awesome games on the system. If you like platformers be sure to get Dynamite Headdy and Rocket Knight Adventures.

Man, your wife knew what games to get you started on, didn't she? Congrats man! It's a great system.

It probably helped that I provided her with a list of games I wanted to play when she told me what my Christmas present was....

I'm having a blast with it and I'm already heading toward expanding my small Genesis library... Starflight... Beyond Oasis... /drool

I love me some Starflight 2 and Streets of Rage 2. You should also hit up the Shining Forces, Pirates! Gold, Shadowrun, Star Control, Buck Rogers

Coincidentally, I have a Shining Force 2 in my sales/trade thread lol wink wink

Welcome to the boards, a great place to discuss retro gaming

I still need to pick that up.

Gunstar Heroes is a great game if you havent already played it on Wii and other collections. I still remember blindly picking this game up once on the clearance section.

I wouldn't think so as the "average gamer" is 35-37 years old; however.... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32463904/ns ... at-bummed/

I just read the article and I myself am 35 years old. I play videogames almost everynight and I'm 210 5'9 and I workout 4 or 5 days a week. I workout in the morning and I go to the gym after work. What a crock of s..t!!
