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 figured it would be that unique CRT visual quality that kind of enhances the pixels. Never even considered that the sounds would also come out more the way the designers intended. Cool!
And you are not wrong the visuals are an absolute treat! Sometimes it's a pain in the ass to keep that TV around, but it always pays off eventually.
