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.
The first time I visited a family friend and watching him boot up Castlevania Bloodlines I was absolutely flabbergasted how amazing that game looked. I still have that reaction to this day when I boot it up on my emulator when feeling nostalgic.
