This is my original Genesis I bought in like '92(?) with one of my first paychecks from my first job at Chuck E. Cheese’s (yes I’m fucking old).
I thought I sold it years ago but found out it was sitting in one of my mom’s closets, so I bought a few cheap carts and hooked it up to a crt I keep around for just such occasions. It still works!
I am so goddamn happy, I just had to share and I figured you all might appreciate that.
I also had a Sega CD but I did sell that a long time ago.
I was going to buy a Super Nintendo because I was jealous of all the RPGs on that system, but my best friend convinced me the Sega CD was a way cooler investment, especially since I already had the Genesis.
So I went and bought the Sega CD, excitedly brought it home and popped in the included game, Sewer Shark.
It was at that moment I knew… I fucked up.
Well, you could have bought the 3DO like me. Three times more expensive, infinitely worse games. Although Gex was a pretty great platformer.
Same my friend, same…
I got a 3DO for Christmas when all my friends got PlayStations :(
