Arcade Legends Sega Genesis 2

Sonic 2 is my favorite game and even though the graphics are 1980s-1990s like-ish. This was worth every penny. Also, the personal message nice touch.

Yup it's SONIC Alright. Cool Stuff. I love it. But This!!

The games are fun to play, and visually, everything works perfectly as far as I can tell, but the sound is poor and sometimes unnacceptable. Genesis and it's games were in stereo sound, and the games were cheaply changed to mono (why would they do that?) creating ill-effects. Some games are acceptable, but the main game, Sonic 2, is the worst one. The music of some levels is very staticy and unpleasant to listen to; some sound effects are high picthed and overly loud (getting rings- DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!); and some sound effects, such as jumping, are entirely inaudible. I own the Genesis, and there's no reason why they couldn't have made the sound just as high qualty in this. $35 is a lot of money, folks. Don't buy this unless you want to play Sonic with the sound turned off.

I loved this plug n play, it has some great Sega classics, the controls work well, the games look exactly like they did back then. Good selection

I absolutely love this plug n' play game. In fact, I saved up all my money to buy this. Here are the games:Sonic 2: You can play as Sonic or Tails, and try bravely to stop Eggman from getting his hands on the emeralds. To get the emeralds, pass a star post with at least 50 rings. The game will tell you how many rings you need to get. If you do just what the game says, you will get an emerald. Collect them all to turn into Super Sonic.Alex Kidd: This is, by far, one of the games I most often play, especially with the fun "rock, paper, scissors" game you can play with a gorilla, bear, wizard, or queen. You can win fun prizes that will help you throughout the game, including a motorized scooter.Ecco the Dolphin: This is my sister's favorite game because she loves sea life. Ecco is on a quest to win his pod (family of dolphins) back. You can interact with other sea animals, and even talking crystals.The Ooze: This is my little brother's favorite. He has gone through a lot of disgusting things, but this video game about a labratory incident tops it!Columns: This is almost like an Egyptian version of Dr. Eggman's mean bean machine, but you use crystals instead of beans. It's fun to see those crystals magically dissapear.Gain Ground: This is a quest game from the middle ages. Battle the enemies and claim the ground as your own!Overall, This is a MUST HAVE for a plug n' play gamist. I have the Namco 80's, Sega, and Sega 2 plug n' play games. I'm looking forward to the Disney one, which I think has the Sega Genesis version of Aladdin as one of its games.

If you're pressed for time and just want to be able to kick back with a fun game when you get a free 1/2 hour, this thing is a hoot. I'd much prefer to sit down and play some epic fantasy game, but right now I just don't have the time. Also, Ecco is a good game for small kids to play. It's really a beautiful game for its time, and since in the first phase of the game you can't die, small kids can have a lot of fun just swimming the dolphin around the screen. You can use a power supply with it too so you don't need to buy batteries. It uses a 6V, minimum 300 mA power supply (not included) but you probably have one laying around.
