    If you enjoy your Sega Genesis and your current console is acting incorrectly, don't bother stepping down to the mini version instead of the minimal extra expense of acquiring a reconditioned full size or newer model since your original game cartridges won't fit or play.

    You shouldn't buy this. Tbh . Sonic's great but not 60 dollars great. The rest of the games were a 1 time try and trash. If you have a playstation sonic was free for playstation plus if you missed out that's fine go buy it for 5 dollars when it goes on sale.

    I DONOT HAVE A GOOD REVIEW ABOUT THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE THE CONSOLES 2ND CONTROLLER WAS BROKEN N MY GRANDSON FOUND OUT WHEN HIS COUSIN CAME OVER TO SEE HIM AND HE WAS ALL READY TO PLAY and it was MISSING white part to connect to console inside. Then that night he put it on to play alone like he always does and it is stuck and wont advance to any games.

    I purchased the Sega genesis system when it was on sale. I was hoping it'll be fun playing some of these classic games. Unfortunately the graphics was horrible, the game play on some of games was terrible. As an example Road Rash was really choppy, almost unplayable.

    The graphics is trash! It’s like a bunch of blurred boxes! Just looking at my tv gave me a headache! The controls in some games are too much, while some games not so good! I returned it! To me it’s not worth it! I hated the controls!
