well, I've been thinking of maybe buying an old Genesis system, but I haven't quite decided.
Off of Amazon alone, I can get:
Genesis (2) + Necessary A/V cables (they're like, five bucks X_X;; )
Sonic 2, 3, and Knux
All for about $30-35 (without shipping, although it shouldn't be too bad).
Not to mention I have basically a Visa $25 gift card (meaning it works EVERYWHERE) and some more possible Hannukah money.
So, do you think it'd be a good idea and if so any other games I should get? **Sonic alone probably isn't worth the buy. I'd really like Megaman: The Wily Wars but I hear that game is hard to come by**
Well, some stuff came in. I got the AV cables (which look like new...in fact they may be), but I didn't take pics of that (who wants to see pics of AV cables?) Unfortunately, the system itself hasn't come in with Sonic 3 (I got it from the same guy). That is shipping from CA, so it'll be a while. The stuff I got came from the likes of NJ, MD, etc. Here is the rest.

Box to the game. Box is in good condition, and doesn't have any tears and the like.
(http://i351.photobucket.com/albums/q476/Nayrman/SegaSixPackcartridge.jpg)
The game is in good condition as well. The sticker on the cartridge has seen better days but overall satisfied. Looks like it'll work just fine.
(http://i351.photobucket.com/albums/q476/Nayrman/SonicandKnucklesbox.jpg)
Sonic and Knuckles came in too. The box is slightly torn on the left side, but it's in one piece and holds the game case. Could be worse. It was like seven bucks so I didn't expect a whole lot.
(http://i351.photobucket.com/albums/q476/Nayrman/SonicandKnucklescartridge.jpg)
The game itself like Sega Six pack seems to be in more than good condition. I was surprised on how heavy it was. The manual and mail in info (for SEGA of America while they were in Redmond...lol) seem to be stuck in there. I messed up the mail in info fairly badly trying to get to the manual, so I don't want to risk it... XD
(http://i351.photobucket.com/albums/q476/Nayrman/sonic2box.jpg)
sonic 2 box. Nigh perfect condition. Although it seems like it was from a Blockbuster when they sold this thing, hence the "not for resale" part on it. Overall though, fantastic box. Glad I spent the extra 2 bucks.
(http://i351.photobucket.com/albums/q476/Nayrman/sonic2cartridge.jpg)
Like the box, the game is in nigh perfect condition. Somehow I get the feeling this was stuck in someone's basement for years without anyone touching it...
(http://i351.photobucket.com/albums/q476/Nayrman/Sonic2manualshot.jpg)
This was taken inside the Sonic 2 manual. If you can't tell (the picture is kinda bad), this was the origional title screen that was suposed to be in the game, but got changed last second. Somehow this image still made it into the manual...lol...
(http://i351.photobucket.com/albums/q476/Nayrman/sonic2codes.jpg)
The owner of Sonic 2 was even nice enough to include the cheat code to get Super Sonic from the get go... too bad I can't read his handwriting. Oh well, that is what the internet is for!
You can get better deals, but I guess it's okay. It would be like $10-$15 shipping, just so you know.
Megaman: The Wily Wars was PAL only, and was only released in the USA on the Sega Channel. NTSC reproductions are hard to find and expensive.
Despite that, I would recommend:
Virtua Racing
Truxton
Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
Gunstar Heroes
Rocket Knight Adventures
I would also look into buying a Sega CD, the model 2 version is cheap. The hookups for the 32X are also easier to find.
Ah, the joys of having a Model 1 Genesis...
cool.
Yeah, the old Sonic games are awesome.

I do hear Gunstar Heroes is good...
I'm not gonna get a CD or 32X since the only games I'd get would be Sonic CD or Knux Chaotix.
I might get Ristar if Amazon has that. The 32X on Amazon is just as much as the Model 2 Genesis 0_0;;
BTW, lol Sonic 2 is 84 cents!
And I know there are "better" deals, but all things considered I trust Amazon so I'd rather pay a few extra bucks on Amazon than risk places that always have junker deals for old games like ebay.

Michael Jackson's Moonwalker is pretty fun.
I paid $40 for my 32X because it came with a cable needed to hook it up on a model 1 Genesis that sometimes sells for $20 alone. The model 1 Sega CD is even more expensive.
Still, having this version is great because I can play Master System games with a converter. :)
Well, this one guy had a Genesis for about $24 in the "used" category, and the pictures shown look pretty good.
I can't decide on whether to get Gunstar Heroes, a Contra Game, or Ristar as the extra games *I added arcade Ms.Pac-Man for like 50 cents XD *
Again, I probably won't get a CD or 32X, not for one game anyway X_X;;

Ristar, definitely.
Ms. Pac-Man is awesome on the Genesis. Get these cables instead, they are stereo.

Cool, thanks. Again, this all depends on what type of money/stuff I get for Hanukkah tomorrow.
Lol, under the Sonic 2 someone was trying to sell a new one for 80 bucks while a good condition used was like five bucks XD XD XD
Predicting at most it should cost be 60-80 dollars at most if I prefer to get some more "quality" stuff, although of course that's all relative.
So:
Genesis (model 2), AV cables (model 2), Sonic 2, 3, Knuckles, Ms.Pac-Man, Ristar, **and maybe contra, depending on money of course**
also, try getting aero the Acrobat.

Sega Genesis 6-PAK has Golden Axe, Sonic 1, Columns, Revenge of Shinobi, Streets of Rage, and Super Hang-On all on one cartridge.
It's like $7 on Amazon, so it's a little more than a dollar a game.

Spinball was just too hard (I've beaten it once tho). I mean really, who makes an object oriented pinball game? It's supposed to be about getting the most points X_X;;
Yes, totally.
I haven't played ALL the Genesis games, but of the ones I did play, you might like:
Spider-man: Seperation Anxiety
Landstalker
Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
Comix Zone
Sonic 1
Sonic 2
Sonic 3
Sonic & Knuckles
Pac-man 2 (LOL)
Castlevania: Bloodlines
Columns (I think this was the name)
Yeah, you might enjoy these.

Well, I totalled all the stuff I would buy, and total comes out to about $125-$135 *depending on which Sonic 2 I buy*, and I have a $25 Visa gift card (and I'm sure it works for online stuff), not to mention some more possible gifts tonight (we didn't do Hanukkah gifts due to it being Sunday and no postal stuff... It's easier to do everything at once).
I would get:
Genesis Model 2 (looks great in pictures, and users history is over 97% good)
Sonic 2, 3, and Knuckles (all in box, only cuz it's like three bucks more in the used category XD )
Ms. Pac-Man
Sega 6 pack
and A/V Stereo cables
Sounds like a good deal to me. Just waiting to see what other stuff I get for the holidays before I buy.
**Depending on money I may also pick up Ristar**

DUDE, COMIX ZONE AND LANDSTALKER!!!!!
WEll, I just ordered the stuff I said I'd order.
I just used standard shipping cuz I don't need any serious rush...
most of it is 4-17 business days (why 17 I have no idea).
Came out to $124 and my parents said they'd pay for some of it...
Pretty good deal I must say. I'd rather have the Genesis, a piece of history, and some games I really like than spending it on nothing special/have no interest in. ^_^;
Good for you sir. Despite the fact that the Genesis is technologically inferior to the SNES in every way except for the speed of sprites, it's still awesome. =D
Get a 6-Button controller as soon as you can, if you already didn't order it.

Ooh Columns.
Still VC has made it so I wouldn't be buying those systems for the time being. Sure, it's good for nostalgia, but I'd much prefer only having to hook one item up. I do have a Genesis though, and it's a lot of fun. However, most of the good games are available on every other console....so yeah.

I held off on getting a Genesis for so long, until I found one complete in the box for $35.

I just did it cuz I wanted one. I had some money for games and there really weren't any games I wanted, so a Genesis sounded better.
Also, the only VC games I buy are games like Megaman and stuff you really can't get anywhere nowadays...

$8 for one Genesis game is way too expensive, you can get pretty much any game loose for $8 or less. There are very few Genesis games that are like Chrono Trigger/EarthBound rare.
I rember the day I got my genesis when I was about 4 years old.
I played Sonic 1,2,3 and sonic and knuckles.
I poop my pants in amazment.
why can't sega make Sonic games like the ones on genesis? :(

I got Ms. Pac-Man for $1.60 and Sega 6-pack for $14 *just cuz some cheaper ones were not so good record wise on amazon*
I see you've already bought your games already, but I definitely recommend Streets of Rage 2.
That game was so much fun. So many memories playing Co-Op. ;)

Better than Sonic 2?
THAT'S BLASPHEMY!!!!!
And on topic: COMIX ZONE MAN! GET IT! I COMMAND YOU!
Oh, and I almost forgot about Fatal Labrynth. That's fun too.
intercourse er who I bought the Genesis from literally JUST shipped the Genesis system ONLY (no power adapter or A/V cables or controller!).
Needless to say I sent an e-mail, but my previous 2 emails havent been answered yet, so I doubt he'll respond.
I went ahead and ordered a six button controller for Genesis and a power adapter compatible with Genesis 2,3, and game gear.
Cost be about an extra 20 bucks, the bastard. At least he sent Sonic 3 in great condition but geez.
You know, you could have gotten it for a lot less on eBay, with a more reliable seller.
