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 ;)

Ranger-X - fantastic mecha side scrolling shooter where you can dock your mech with motorcycle or spaceship. Love that game.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Chemical Plant Zone is easily one of, if not, the best sonic level ever

X-Men - the music alone is fantastic

Phantasy Star II - one of the greatest RPGs ever.

Battletech - like jungle strike but with Mechwarrior

Dr. Robotniks Mean Bean Machine - awesome and addictive puzzle game

Jurassic Park - the graphics at the time were fairly game changing, especially the T-Rex

Skitchin - like Road Rash but on rollerblades

Mortal Kombat - IMHO, other than the Sega CD version, best home port of the game just remember to enter in the blood code

Super Monaco GP II - one of the best racing games of the 16bit era
