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.
Well, you could have bought the 3DO like me. Three times more expensive, infinitely worse games. Although Gex was a pretty great platformer.
Same my friend, same…
I got a 3DO for Christmas when all my friends got PlayStations :(
Mine at least came with the 4 pack game of
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.
Did you at least get Lunar at some point?
I did! I didn't finish it though. I put many, many hours in but I remember it was extremely long so I never made it to the end.
Honestly, I probably put the most hours into Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective :/
What rubbish. What balderdash.
I wasn't really used to jrpg's at the time and didn't realize what I was getting myself into lol. I didn't finish Phantasy Star II, either, even though I loved it.
I was making a reference. I never played the Sega CD version myself, but I did have the PC version growing up. Never got too far in that one, either, though.

Ha! Oh shit, that's amazing! I haven't touched the game since the mid nineties, so I don't remember many details.
For some reason, I distinctly remember a guy who flipped a coin along his fingers because I thought it looked cool so learned how to do that trick.
Anyways, thanks for sharing that.
