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 ;)

Castlevania Bloodlines is one of the best 16 bit Castlevania games. Shadowrun is also a great RPG for the system and infinitely better than the SNES version (the latter feels more like a point and click adventure)

People often say to play Phantasy Star 2 and 4, while completely avoiding 3. PS2 feels super dated but the story holds up, PS4 has loads of QoL improvements and a new story.
