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.

    I had the wide genesis also, but I had the newer CD so my genesis hanged off the side.

      I got a mega-cd 2 with an original megadrive and it had an expansion plate for the md to sit snug.

      maybe sega of America cheaped out on that small bit of plastic to save a buck.

      I think mine did too, that sounds right. I guess there was another model with a slot loader underneath?

        I got that one. I wanted to build the tower of power, but the mega cd is YUGE. Works great, but clunky to use. I think the Sega CD is a lot easier and smaller to boot
