CGRHD reviews SEGA GENESIS CARTRIDGE DESIGN

Classic Game Room HD reviews the cartridge design and packaging for Sega Genesis video games! The Genesis is known as the Mega Drive (or MEGADRIVE) outside of the United States, and these games from the 16 bit era are hard to forget. Sega always made their products solid and build them to last. Genesis games are numerous, plentiful and easy to collect. They come in a hard plastic shell which easily fits into the slot on top of the MD and play when you turn the power on. In this review we look at the styling of a few of CGRHD's collected games like Mega Turrican, MUSHA, Herzog Zwei, Strider, Revenge of Shinobi, Cyborg Justice, Thunder Force II and Fire Shark. This particular Sega Genesis is a modded Genesis with s-video output and you can watch another video all about that one (search for it under s-video modified sega genesis). The Genesis cartridges are compared in size, scope and functionality to classic arcade style retro video game carts from the Nintendo Entertainment System NES and the Atari 2600.

They used a similar design for the SEGA Saturn backup cartridge. Those things are solid, love 'em.

The Genesis definitely looks like an interesting system. Unfortunately, I only ever owned 1 spaceship shooter (Xevious The Avenger for GBA) and I hated it. Couldn't stand it so I gave it to a friend who gave it to his grandpa. So if the Genesis's main claim to fame is spaceship shooters, I don''t think it woulda been my cup of tea. But it's a moot point since I turned 10 in 2001, and by then Sega hardware was finished.

@WhyBeAre Yeah, My genesis collection is fairly competent, and almost none of them have boxes. In the 90's, nobody knew they were going to be collector's items, and everyone just threw them away and stacked their cartridges on the shelf.

@AMYuntold The kind who is only able to find just the cartridges when they buy the games. Seriously a lot of people threw away their boxes and about roughly half of my fairly small Genesis collection do not have boxes. I mean yeah it would be awesome to always have the box, but it's simply not always possible.
