    most of the games it comes with suck, but most of the old cheat codes still work. the nostalgia factor will only carry so far before you remember why you stopped playing these games 30 years ago.

    The reason why we purchase such an old-fashion game console is NOSTALGY! The feeling that controllers give you is fantastic, but the games are not familiar at all! I barely knew five games on this device. So, I was left with some old 2D games, which were entirely new for me! So, if they are not nostalgic for me, why I want to keep that? I returned it. If you want to purchase it, look at the games before your final decision. The worst issue I had was that it is not noted that which games are included, so you are buying a box of chance somehow!

    Not a well thought out as the Nintendo versions, but okay. Has a handful of games you remember, several you dont. Okay at best, mostly for nostalgia.

    I just wish it had more popular games on it. I grew up when the Sega came out originally and never heard of 80% of those games. Definitely could have had better choices.

    The gaming or selection is nothing near that of the Nintendo classic. Fun if you want a something to do for a bit, but was bored with it quickly.

    This retro console isn't as good as the NES retro console. Games really show their age. Interface is easy to use, just wasn't impressed with the games.

    Great to add to your mini collection. Not the best of games are included but it brings back memories of the good old days for sure.

    Nostalgia nothing more than that. Graphics hurt your eyes on a 4K TV. Controllers are bulky and annoying but it is what it is from the past!

    I didn't open the product as my friend's son decided to stick with what he already have. This is a great deal but he just wasn't into it.

    Grew up playing the Genesis system along with many others. The thing that I am not a huge fan of is that the controller cords are not very long and the games that come with it are average at best. Very easy to set up and has 30 games that come with it. If you do buy this, make sure you look for it on sale. Wanted to add it to my collection. Pure impulse buy.

    It’s good to see and play old time games but in my 55” tv quality is not good. Picture looks stretched and blurry.

    Retro gaming good. Wished it had the desired 6 button pads and wanted games like some other countries got.
