Plug for some pretty awesome Genesis sound chip covers of songs. Get yo’ FM synth on!
I loved mine so much!
Still the best name ever for a games console.
Lucky enough to still play you
I just saw the top two thirds, and had to scroll to see the punchline and the comm - what a pleasant surprise! For me, it’s the 3DO but that’s to niche for most.
I’ve got my old NES, SNES, Genesis and 2600 and associates games in a box in the garage somewhere. I should find out if they work, but (1) I don’t have anything I can connect the 2600 to and (2) I don’t have a TV with RCAs anymore so that rules out the other 3 too. fuuuuuuck. thank goodness for emulation.
what bluetooth controllers do you use?
I have an old usb adapter (I don’t know what it’s called, I bought it like 20 years ago) i can plug in my ps2 controllers, I synced one of my dualshock 4s to my PC, and I have a gamesir g3s I use on my phone.
There, I fixed it. It’s a Japanese Mega Drive. Kotik by Tatka looks better too.
I’m in the US and my Genesis from my childhood looks like this one, not the OP. Were there different versions?
These looked completely different in Europe.
Is that Cereal Experiments Lonnie?
I thought this was going to be a Saddam meme again
I’m ashamed, I thought it was an Atari Jaguar at first and then I saw the Sega logo.
Jokes on yall, I have one in my home hooked up. Got it for my 40th birthday from my son. And I love it.
Talk? My niece (13y) and I played last weekend. Still rocking the mega drive here.
Amazing! Teaching her the old ways.
This but also the Dreamcast.
My biggest regret is losing track of the 9/9/99 shirt I got for preordering my Dreamcast at Funcoland. Sure, it was white and One Size Fits All (fucking 'uuge), but I could have made a pillow out of it or sold it on eBay or something.
Dreamcast is alive and going strong! 2025 started off with a game jam too.

I was just going to say the Saturn and Dreamcast are in the next graves over, forgotten forever.
I just bought an emulator with 2 wireless controllers and 45000 games from various consoles between 1978 and 2008. Loving the megadrive section - Splatterhouse, Strider, NHL Ice Hockey 94, Micro Machines, ECCO, to name a few. Well worth 50 quid.
Pretty good for the price! My main gaming machine is a $60 Anberbic handheld. I had to install a better OS and the tiny best set myself, and it struggles running Dreamcast and PSP games, but it actually feels good to play.
What OS are you using? I was trying to use my Anbernic with wireless controllers, but the default OS keeps forgetting the mapping on the controllers every time I switch to a different game and it was impractical to have to keep remapping them over and over.
It was almost an arcade machine inside. Try Chakan, James Pond, all the Sonics, Kid Chameleon, Road Rash, Desert Strike, and Sparkster (way better than the SNes version), Aladdin (same, better than the SNes), and Toe Jam and Earl 2, to name a few.
There’s a chakan hack that makes it maybe the best version to play the game.
The original is just frustratingly difficult to finish.
This sounds great, what did you go for?

This bad boy (UK) I’ve got my money’s worth just scrolling (for the past 4 hours!)
What the heck is that
Shouldn’t you be paying attention in class right now?
That’s a Sega Genesis. Now excuse me, I have to take my back pill.
Nah, that’s a PAL Mega Drive. It runs 17% slower than a Genesis and the graphics are vertically squished. They buried it so they could use the better NTSC models.
Games for all of these PAL consoles only run 16% slower if programmers didn’t do jack shit to make them properly run. Probably most of them, but still.
Hey? Yell into my ear horn laddy
Sega Mega Drive
