Hello everybody. Today I’m taking a look at the Sega Genesis Video Game System. When Sega aimed to put out a home entertainment system, they had some obstacles to overcome. Mainly taking on the power house Nintendo who had the market on game systems. Nintendo had 8 bit games at the time so Sega developed a 16 bit system which was faster and the graphics were more realistic. The only thing Sega needed was a recognizable character that would brand the name. In comes Sonic the Hedgehog. The game was…

It was a really cool looking game, I mean the gold cartridge just sold itself. I remember back in the day playing hours on end. This is one that even my son was…

Do you like vintage or modern video games? Video Games aren’t what they used to be. I’m old enough to remember playing Atari at my cousins house, and I had an original NES.

There was no saving just play, play, play, and hopefully have siblings or friends to help you get to the end. I don’t have a working NES, but I…
