I love my Genesis. In
fact, aside from still owning one (Well, two. I “acquired my mother-in-law’s) –
as all video game enthusiasts should – I continue to purchase accessories and
games from garage sales and thrift store shelves, even if I already have them –
again, as any retro gamer should. I grew up with the Genesis primarily. I still
remember my father’s friend playing Sonic on his archaic, back lit, 70”(or
something, I was a little kid) big screen TV. When he handed me the controller,
at all of 5 years old, it was game over. Or game on as it may be. So when Sega
introduced a handheld that was what amounted to a portable Genesis…well, I
nearly exploded with excitement.
