Whew, finally made it to the Genesis. I’ve been waiting a long time to get here. Back in the day, there were two types of kids: Nintendo kids and Sega kids. The Sega kids alleged that the SNES was a namby pamby baby system, lacking in attitude. The Nintendo kids argued that attitude is all well and good, but at the end of the day the SNES had better games. I was a Nintendo kid.
I grew up pretty ignorant of the Genesis. I’ve played a little bit of Sonic and once I borrowed a friend’s Genesis for a month and played through Shadowrun. That’s about it. There are tons of games on this system that complete unknowns to me. One of the main reasons I started this stupid little project was do delve into the mystery of the Genesis. I’ve got a Genesis and a stack of games I snagged at a yard sale for cheap. Time to fire up the Blast Processor.

I was a Nintendo kid too. I had a friend who was a Sega kid and we grew apart. It seemed like a parallel course of evolution.
