Im very excited. I actually won a bid on 6 games first, then went looking for a console. Snagged a 1601 “graphics text” model.

I’ve always wanted a genesis, its one of the few systems I’ve never owned. What are some of your favorite games?

Also, mine is coming with a phaser gun, which ill probably sell. Or should I keep it?

Can’t wait to hook this bad boy up to my Sharp CRT ;)

    Can I piggyback on this post? What are some good RPGs for the megadrive/genesis? I like to live translate games as I stream them and I’m looking for some text-heavy games, but it seems like the Super Famicom/SNES had a near-monopoly on RPGs.

      In no particular order:

      • Shining Force 2 - though its combat is more on the tactical side, like Fire Emblem.
      • Langrisser - tactical combat
      • Shadowrun - possibly the best Shadowrun videogame before the 2013 releases
      • Sword of Vermillion - damn old and made by Sega themselves.
      • Beyond Oasis (Thor) - Zelda-like, graphics are super pretty
      • Crusader of Centy (Soleil)
      • Landstalker - isometric view and some platforming around

        Thank you by the way. I got sword of Vermillion and after fixing the battery tab (tab wasn’t even touching the positive side!) I am really enjoying it!! Great music, good story, lots to do and fun to discover things.

        Thanks so much! I’ll go check out my local used second-hand shop for these.
