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 ;)

    Can I piggyback on this post? What are some good RPGs for the megadrive/genesis? I like to live translate games as I stream them and I’m looking for some text-heavy games, but it seems like the Super Famicom/SNES had a near-monopoly on RPGs.

      In no particular order:

      • Shining Force 2 - though its combat is more on the tactical side, like Fire Emblem.
      • Langrisser - tactical combat
      • Shadowrun - possibly the best Shadowrun videogame before the 2013 releases
      • Sword of Vermillion - damn old and made by Sega themselves.
      • Beyond Oasis (Thor) - Zelda-like, graphics are super pretty
      • Crusader of Centy (Soleil)
      • Landstalker - isometric view and some platforming around

        Thanks so much! I’ll go check out my local used second-hand shop for these.

        My life revolved around PSO and PSO BB back in high school and university. I’ve been meaning to play the original series, so thanks for reminding me! I’m eyeing a copy of Phantasy Star on the Mark III on Mercari right now…
