Of course, you can also plug in just about any original wired Sega Genesis controller directly to the console, including many of the third party replacements. Each controller requires three AAA batteries, which are not included. As with the AtGames Atari Flashback 6, these controllers use like-it-or-hate-it infrared wireless technology, which requires general line of sight with the sensor on the front of the console to work properly. It’s not surprising then that AtGames releases new versions of their Sega Genesis Classic Game Console, as well as a portable version that accepts SD cards instead of cartridges (for the same general price), every year.īoth controllers, which mimic, but do not directly replicate, the proven design of the original Sega Six Button Control Pad, are functionally the same, and contain a switch to designate one or the other as player one (P1) or two (P2). That combination of great Sega games married to a great Sega platform was a difficult combination for the company to replicate, even though the its predecessor, the Master System, successor the Saturn, and, in particular, its final console, the Dreamcast, have more than their fair share of fans. Of its home platforms, the most successful was easily the Sega Genesis (also known as the Mega Drive in various territories). Thanks to its strong arcade roots that can be traced all the way back to the 1940s, the company that came to be known in 1965 as Sega was always defined by great games. Otherwise, there’s no better place to start than the Introduction. If you’d like to skip to the part where I provide direct feed video of some of the games in action, check out the Games and Cartridge and Flashcart Compatibility sections of this review. Of course, as usual, thanks to what is effectively this system’s Genesis-on-a-chip, it can play most Sega Genesis cartridges via its cartridge port (more on that later in Cartridge and Flashcart Compatibility). The main change between this year’s version and last year’s is the software mix, and specifically with Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat II, and Mortal Kombat 3 in the 80 included games (I provided the full list here). AtGames has released the 2015 version of their Sega Genesis Classic Game Console, which is available in standard (reviewed here) and deluxe (the addition of a cartridge containing five generic sports games) versions, with the former usually selling for a street price of around $40.
