Not a bad price if you don't have one of these already; It's a great little system.
Use "SAVER" for free shipping.

if anyone's interested on G4TechTV on the Screensavers they recently overclocked the Genesis. makes it work better on games like sonic 2 in multiplayer. search for genesis overclock on their site.

If I hadn't already spent a little over $10 on Mario Advance 4 today I would pick this up. Gotta stop spending all my money on games.

This deal isn't too bad. I got mine with Sonic 1, hookups and 2 6-button controllers from a private party for $15. The game and controllers were worth the extra money, though. :D

I just picked one up too. I thought about getting the N64, but outside of Mario 64 and Paper Mario, i don't know if i'd be excited to play anything else.

Man. I have one, but 1) I'm not sure if it works, and 2) I forget how to hook the damn thing back up.

I want to play Sonic and Aladdin so badly.

i am thinking of getting this - only problem is convincing my mom to let me order it, since im only 16.

Does it have any awesome games that you cant get on any other system?

All the sonic games can now be found on gamecube and phantasy star can be found on many different systems.

To think that I got $40 for my genesis not too long ago. Maybe I should get another one, although I doubt I'd ever find the games that I loved again (Phantasy Star 4, Shining Force 2, Shining in the Darkness...)

Here's a thread that mentions a lot of games worth checking out:

Hmm, is $12.99, for a used Sega Genesis console, a great deal? I just think $9.99, would be a better deal for the 16-bit system...

I just don't think a pre-owned Sega Genesis system, is worth more than $9.99. Pre-owned systems sold at stores are usually in poor condition...

Yeah, the Genesis has one of the best 2-player games ever(IMO): Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

When anybody gets their system, it would be nice if you could tell us what model number you got (1, 2, or 3).

waytocoool
07-21-2004, 03:39 PM
Yes. I got it this time. I hope i get a Genesis 1. i was considering ordering two, but changed my mind. Hey, witht the free shipping code, it said that i had free shipping when i ordered it, but than when i got my confirmation email, it said that it was $1.99 shipping and $1 tax bringing it to $15.98. Did this happen to you guys?

Depends. Well, the third one is the worst. It doesn't play some games, and has no 32X or SegaCD compatibility.
The first and the second versions all depend onw hat you want. The First version has a headphone jack, while the second version can use the red/white/yellow cables as opposed to RF.

Thats an awesome deal. I wish anyone luck who pursues it, because, at least around me, they only have 1 or 2 in stock at all times.

It's true that the Genesis 3, is not compatible with the Sega CD or the 32X. The Game Genie is also not compatible with the Genesis 3...

However, the model 1 Genesis is the best version. Simply because it has the headphone jack that's missing from the model 2 Genesis...

You also can use the a/v cable with the model 1 Genesis...:wink:

waitaminute, the genesis 1 is compatible with the sega cd 1, the genesis 2 is compatible with the sega cd 2 and the genesis 3, is pared down(smaller size, no headphone jack)i thought it was compatible with either the sega cd 1 or 2, but it fitting it together was messier(it wouldnt fit in the tray, the sega cd 1 has a tray to hold a model 1 genesis)

Point being: if you dont want a sega cd, then go ahead and get a model 3, bc the smallest one is the best(takes up less space) but if you really want a sega cd, well then try to get a deal on the sega cd first, then get a genny system that matches your sega cd model(one or 2) That is my suggestion anyways.

There is an extension plate for the Gen 1 SCD 2 combo that makes it so it does fit. Oh and this deal is back from the dead again. This is the last bump I will be giving it.
