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 ;)

  • Lost Vikings is a puzzle platfromer with three characters made by pre-Blizzard guys. It's just awesome all around.

  • Comix Zone is a stylish, visually stunning adventure of an artist trapped in his own comic by the evil guy. I'm still impressed how cool it looks.

  • Zero Tolerance is probably not that fun, but it's Genesis' sole popular FPS game pushing console's limits. It'd be interesting to look at it in restrospection.

Yeah, Zero Tolerance is amazing from a technical standpoint, and a solid gaming experience as it goes, but I personally felt it dragged on for too long without enough variation. Then again I felt about the same regarding the original Doom and Doom 2, so it's probably more my tastes than the game itself.
