  • God I miss Sega Genesis!

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

That's called the Power Base Converter. It allows you to play Master System games on your Genesis. Great idea but it doesn't fit on the Genesis 2 (that's the model he has in the pic) unless you cut out the back part of it since it was designed for the original Genesis model (the one with some red on it). The Genesis 2 was smaller but wider (if you haven't seen the Genesis 3, it's TINY, noticeably smaller than an original Xbox controller). Seems like the only way he's even able to get it on that Genesis is to use the 32X in between.

Although the cleaning system is insanely tall and he's using two Sonic & Knuckles carts, it's still pretty insane. Woulda been even taller if he used the Sega CD 1 instead of the 2. That thing's a bit taller than the second model

The Saturn wasn't *quite* that small. I had one. The Dreamcast was also not incredibly tiny. Even the Gamecube was bigger than an XBox controller, I believe.

He was joking.

That original Xbox controller was HUGE. It actually was wider than my GC which is ridiculous. The Genesis 3 was about the size of the Game Gear but square rather than rectangle. It was TINY
