    Great plug and play device, absolutely love playing my fave Castlevania games on here! A little pricey considering you can use raspberry pi for much much cheaper. But for nostalgia!

    A great collection of games built into a fun package! While a few key games might be missing, the games that are included are mostly gems including some that were never released.

    This is a product that lets me play some of the video games I haven’t played in years. There are some games I never played when they were released that I get to play now. There are some games on the system that I believe were on the Nintendo system, but get to enjoy playing them once again.

    The old 16 bit games still are very challenging for everyone, even the young kids today. Enjoy just working with the simple controller and enjoying the many games with this console.

    By far the best of the minis. Sega did a great job on game selection adding games I didn't know I’d love. Every game hooks you in I have no idea how long it will take to complete all 42

    If you were a fan of the original Sega Genesis in the 90’s then this is a must buy. It was made by Sega so it is good quality, and there are a number of very fun games on the system.

    Sega Genesis Mini is awesome! It takes me back down memory lane with the great games like Sonic 2, Streets of Rage 2, Shinobi 3 etc. This is must have if you grew up in the 90's era.

    A nice way to relive Sega's glory days

    I once owned a Mark II Sega Genesis (the redesigned version), and I loved it. I never quite got everything I ever wanted for it, and I felt a little sad to eventually have to give it up. This mini version of the original Mark I console brings back a lot of memories for me, although I think I need to relearn how to work the control pad again. (I don't remember having so much difficulty controlling a game with this pad before; I would personally prefer to use a joystick, if one is available.) The selection of games built-in to the console is commendable, although there seem to be some differences between the versions included in it and the original cartridges, particularly with Altered Beast (which looks more like a "remixed" version of the original title for the old console). Other than these and a few other minor issues, this device is a good thing to have around in times like these, when you may find yourself with more time on your hands than you would like to.

    So much nostalgia in such a tiny package. The game list is great. You can really tell the developers love the Genesis. And you can add more games if modding is your thing.

    Sonic 2 is great game and Monster World IV. Monster World is like Zelda really fun long role playing game. Street Fighter is fun difficult and Castlevania another difficult game.
