The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Genesis gaming is alive and well! This past March, the 2012 German Mega Drive Championship took place in Hanau, marking the sixth consecutive year that the event has been held. Gamers of all ages flocked to test their 16-bit mettle and battle fiercely for prizes donated by Sega Europe itself!
Gamers itching to play Genesis via emulation can get closer to the real thing by using converters to plug in real controllers. RetroZone makes one called the RetroPort that lets all sorts of controllers and sticks work on computers, and it’s even compatible with modern game consoles.
