    Who doesn’t love an old school gaming system? Only complaint is that a few cartridges weren’t readable. Other than that no complaints!

    Product is very good but not great. Does bring back some memories I had when I owned both the Genesis and SNES back then.

    Let me first say that I was super excited about this Throwback Genesis! My fondest gaming memories are of the Separation Genesis and I was stoked! Unfortunately, there is not much good about this machine. :-( The controllers have horrible input lag. You push a button or the D-Pad and there's is a slight delay....super annoying. Also, the menu layout is awful. Just terrible the way that the menu works. It really is too bad...guess my gaming memories will stay memories in regards to the Genesis.

    Not all the programs that were available are loaded in the system. Many popular games are missing.
