youll go through 4 aa batteries in under 2 hours.. the controls suck..

if its like 5 bucks hell yeah. I want to find the genesis one with street fighter and ghouls and ghosts for my friend who doesnt have a genesis

They're playable. I remember having the one in the picture and playing the fuck out of dig dug with my mom growing up.

The C64 one is a real re-implementation of the hardware in an FPGA. You can plug in a keyboard and use BASIC.

I had one with Xevious and Pac-man, it was really fun. It lasted a while, but my friend man handled it so much it the joystick kind of crapped out. If they're cheap it's a good buy.

>Joystick is on the opposite side

My autism can't handle dat shit.

Anyway, I remember these things being everywhere almost a decade ago. I'm surprised they still make them. I remember the Namco ones being pretty decent. Even one of them has the cherry-top act as a dial so Pole Position is actually playable.

>mfw They still charge $20 for them

No, for the love of god, don't get the Genesis one. It's filled with shovelware, and the sound is horribly emulated, leaving a bad mess which does not do the YM2612 justice.

>Never having used a VCS controller

I pick these up when I see them for $2. The C64 one is my favorite. I also like the two-paddle VCS one.

Used to have one of these.

Came with Sonic 2, The Ooze, Alex Kidd, Columns, Echo the Dolphin and some other game. Loved it. I want to get another one but I may as well just get a proper Megadrive.

I found one last week, it works fine for 5 minutes but then the color completely fades away. If you boot it up again, same thing happens. Leaky capacitor maybe?

Love the little Sega Genesis

it's pretty hard to have a favourite, so I like all of them equally.
