And a cartridge slot for other games. But not some good reviews. Anybody tried one before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Usotsuki Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Oh, a Firecore. I call it the "Failcore" - I have a handheld based on the same hardware. It's got issues - serious ones in the sound department, at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 It's not that great, but if you don't have a Genesis and enjoy the titles on it, it can be fun. I would never have one as a primary Genesis myself, but my brother owns one and he likes it for what it is. Biggest disappointment is that there aren't actually 80 Genesis games on it. Over half I believe are made up of weird Chinese Mega Drive-knockoff "games". Lots of shovelware crap few would actually want to play.

teh_lurv Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) I got an earlier version as a Christmas gift a few years ago. It's an okay clone, but it has issues. The wireless controllers are kinda useless and the sound emulation is bad. Beyond that, it has a good amount of staple Genesis titles included on the machine and it's small and light enough to carry with you. I usually take it with me on trips and hook it up to the hotel room TV. Unless you get it as a gift like I did, I'd save the $40 for a real Genny or grab the Sonic Collection on the PC or console (which I think runs like $5-10 now).

Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I never cared about owning one of these. I prefer to play Genesis games on my model 1 and 2 systems. I like it that it is real compact and half the games built in are Genesis games and the other half are these Chinese knock off games. I heard the sound, gameplay, and emulation is not in sync correctly if you play any carts in the slot. Cool feature, but stick with the original hardware.

+save2600 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Over half I believe are made up of weird Chinese Mega Drive-knockoff "games". Lots of shovelware crap few would actually want to play. …one of those goofy Chinese knock-off games is a Shark! Shark! clone and it's actually pretty good believe it or not! Updated graphics, et al. Easily the best of the weird shit for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
