UPDATE: Had a third Model 1 #SegaGenesis I got some time back as part of a bundle. Ugly on the inside, broken P1 controller port, BUT with a shell that was still in great shape.
So, I swapped its top panel onto the newer unit, giving me a fantastic-condition back-up to my childhood (now Frankensteined) Genesis. (Just missing the extension port cover.)
And then a third ugly one that’ll be there for parts.
This week's game is Heavy Nova, an infamous robot fighting game full of bizarre design choices, slow gameplay, and enough invincibility frames to make a person want to give up. Is there fun to be found in it, though? I think so!
