This is my original Genesis I bought in like '92(?) with one of my first paychecks from my first job at Chuck E. Cheese's (yes I'm fucking old).

I thought I sold it years ago but found out it was sitting in one of my mom's closets, so I bought a few cheap carts and hooked it up to a crt I keep around for just such occasions. It still works!

I am so goddamn happy, I just had to share and I figured you all might appreciate that.

I also had a Sega CD but I did sell that a long time ago.

I was going to buy a Super Nintendo because I was jealous of all the RPGs on that system, but my best friend convinced me the Sega CD was a way cooler investment, especially since I already had the Genesis.

So I went and bought the Sega CD, excitedly brought it home and popped in the included game, Sewer Shark.

It was at that moment I knew... I fucked up.

Mine at least came with the 4 pack game of

  1. columns (Tetris wannabe, I loved it )
  2. Golden axe
  3. ? (I can't remember, maybe Tactical Enforcer?)
  4. Streets of Rage (My single favorite game from 2nd grade until Virtual Cop came out a few years later. I believe Street of Rage is the game currently on this amazing posters Wombo style television screen.)

But Sewer Shark was my first real game for Sega CD and my 2nd grade mind was not prepared. Young me thought I was dumb and couldn't do it because I was little.....nah that game is just rough.
