I definitely played that Rambo game at a guy's house that we visited when I was six. That's actually probably my first Sega game too now that I think on it. We had a NES at home at the time but wouldn't get a Genesis for a few more years.

My first Genesis game was probably Sonic since it was the pack in title. Maybe Shining Force though, since that's the reason I got a Genesis in the first place. I honestly don't remember.

Pretty sure mine was Altered Beast, and then Revenge of Shinobi. Bi-Mart had a demo unit for both the Genesis and the NES which were behind the counter in a glass display case. Depending on who was working on any given day it was either the younger really chill guy who would just give you the controller and go do whatever, or it could be the crotchety old guy who enforced the 10 minute trial period VERY strictly and would reset the machine on you also. Then one day we marched in there with our $189 and bought the thing. It was the greatest day of my gaming life taking that thing home and plugging it in, cranking up Altered Beast and spending all night playing it. Then a mere 4-6 weeks later we got our bonus controller and Ghouls n Ghosts. I still have both games though we gave that genesis and power base converter to a friend when my brother got a CDX years later. I think I currently have 4 model 1 Genesis units, 1 model 1 sega cd, 1 32x, 2 saturns, 6 or 7 game gears, a nomad, and 2 dreamcasts.

I am definitely a supreme late comer to Sega, didn't really play anything they made(aside from possibly some arcade stuff) till they made the switch to 3rd Party Developer and started putting their stuff on the GBA and GameCube

It’s not a great game but I still enjoy it. I like the 3D port on 3DS since it lets you use different transformations in unintended levels.

I know I got a Genesis II with Sonic 2 as the pack-in game, but I feel like I probably had played some games beforehand at friends’ houses and such. Pretty confident I played or saw Altered Beast before I had a Genesis of my own. Skipped the Saturn, jumped from PSX to the Dreamcast at launch, which came after months of reading about it in EGM.

Saturn is the only Sega console released in the US that I never had and I still regret it. I also never had a CD and 32X but those don’t count and I don’t regret it.

Mega everdrive pro will play all the sega cd games on your genesis without the cd hardware so that takes care of that. Saturn is a must own though.

It wasn't my Mega Drive, but at the time (circa 1991), this friend got one with two packed in carts: Sonic 1 and a three-in-one compilation with Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, and Revenge of Shinobi. Having only been exposed to fami-clone and ZX Spectrum output before, I had never seen something as beautiful as all of those games were.

shinobi iii return of the ninja master and streets of rage 2 are probably some of my most frequently played games besides rocket league which I am now approaching 1000 hours in. I traded Shinobi iii to my neighbor for alisia dragoon and always kind of regretted that, not that it's a bad game... Shinobi just slapped and I can about speed run a 100% secret item run.

I called Toys R Us every day for like 2 months to see if Genesis came in yet. Finally one day they said it did, was still on the truck, I came in and got it. This is of course before there were set release dates, at least that I would've known of. Things trickle in to your area whenever they do, just like any other 'toy'. Pretty sure I was first in my metro region to get it. So my first Genesis was Altered Beast, which i played A LOT. Next was probably Thunder Force II? (I had a master system prior)

I bought a Nomad off of my mom's coworker's kid, along with all his games, in...maybe 2002, 2003? I had been saying "Hey, if he ever wants to sell this, I'm in the market" for years at that point; finally I think I quoted a number that was too rich for him to pass up - IIRC I was flush with summer job cash and went up to something like $125. But I walked away with the Nomad, the carrying case, the battery pack and like a dozen games. I still have pretty much all of it (recently sold a couple of the games for a lot more than I expected to get) and intend to mod the hardware someday, though I saw recently that the carrying case alone can fetch $150 on eBay. That might not stick around much longer. Speaking of, I'm about to put my Sega CD console in the mail after a very quick eBay sale (It was listed for maybe 12 hours.) My youth group leader gave it to me around the same time that I bought the Nomad. He had picked it up secondhand from a friend who was disappointed with it, basically never touched it, and figured he might as well unload it on the kid he knew who was into games. I don't know that I ever hooked it up before two weeks ago when I checked to see that it worked (I can tell you from recent experience that Sewer Shark is not a good game.) Thanks, Steve, you effectively gave me a high-yield 20 year bond.

Despite owning a cib copy of sewer shark I think I played it for Ike an hour in 1998. I remember not being able to really make out what was happening on screen. I really should give it another shot some time. Or they could remaster it no put it on the switch. Then I could buy it not ever even launch it like I did with night trap and double switch.

I will forever associate Sewer Shark with playing it at a kiosk at Babbages in some mall in Daytona.

A friend of mine had a mega cd that someone gave him and a ton of games like Sewer Shark, Ground Zero Texas, and Night Trap. Even in the mid 90s we knew these FMV games sucked once the novelty of horribly compressed video wore off. I thought sega cd was a poo poo add on until recently I decided to play Snatcher. Even that is pretty much a graphic novel but it’s a lot of fun and has good style if you like Hideo Kojima.

Booted up the MD2 Mini yesterday. This is a rather unique selection of games compared to previous MD game compilations for sure, including obviously the first MD Mini. The included controller has a pretty good D-Pad, as all my special inputs on Fatal Fury 2 worked without missing a move. Thankfully it's the 6 buttons one this time. Unfortunately "just" six buttons probably means it won't be very useful outside the MD itself, since everything I can imagine on PC these days require L+R buttons

I taught myself basic soldering so I could swap out the buttons and levers in my green goblins. I know it's frowned upon to hack these things up but the upgraded controls make it actually fun to use.

I know it's frowned upon to hack these things up but the upgraded controls make it actually fun to use. I've always wanted one of those. I have a different stick for the DC which is fine and all, but the buttons are slightly mushy and I could probably disassemble and sand everything to a nicer glide but instead I started building my own DC stick. I should take some pictures and maybe even finish it. I really just need to break out my router and do some finish work and it will be complete-ish.
