Shit, I still have a working Genesis.

Me too. I like to play Xmen 2: Clone Wars and Bubsy on it. I've been thinking of getting an 8bitdo for it so I can play it wireless with my PS4 controllers.

Xmen 2: Clone Wars and Bubsy

Gave me nostalgia whiplash, there.

X-Men 2: Clone Wars - "Well of course, don't we all?"
Bubsy - "...and some of us are into pain and punishment, of course. It takes all types." (I never got good at Bubsy.)

For me, X-men 2 was harder.

But Bubsy is just memorizing the layout or gambling. The game dares you to go fast like Sonic, but there are pitfalls every 2 seconds or you'll be going down into an unknown area that could either be fine or it could kill you, and there's no way of knowing beforehand.

Huh. That perspective could help. I always thought I was just terrible at Bubsy. Which I guess I was. But keeping that in mind might help a lot.

The 8bitdo wireless Genesis controller is pretty good and faithful to the original.

I hear emudeck for the Steam Deck is amazing too, but I never got around to installing it.
