Sega Genesis

SEGA! Yes the Sega Genesis started the 16-Bit revolution and lasted for a good number of years with a healthy library of games. It started bringing sport games to a more realistic feel, (until the current next-gen systems). The system itself has a headphone jack for those who stay up all night trying not to wake anyone up while they play, which added to its already sleek design. It has been reported that the Sega Genesis was not powerful enough for a First Person Shooter (FPS), however, Accolade had proven them wrong by bringing Zero Tolerance, an awesome game I myself own. Keep in mind that every system have their good games and bad, so I personaly do suggest that if you never played or owned a Genesis, get one because they are now affordable due to their age. If any game keeps you coming back for more, then it is a good game in a system that delivers, and the Sega Genesis system delivers! I highly recommend it!! The sound is still awsome and I would like you gamers looking for a good start, check these games: Shinobi series, Golden Axe, Sonic the Hedgehog, Vectorman, Mortal Kombat I & II, and Madden NFL 94. There are dozens more, but that should be a good start up with a Genesis. The claim that the Genesis brings the arcade games home is accurate with only a few differences such as the sound and maybe some added bonus levels on some games that were not added to the arcade versions. One last note, I also recommend purchasing a Sega Nomad, it is a full prtable Sega Genesis system that you can either take with you or hook it up to a T.V. So all you new and young gamers out there, prepare to see how we Verteran Gamers played without any memory cards! Happy Gaming!
