CGRHD reviews SEGA GENESIS MODEL 2 game console

October 15th, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments


Classic Game Room HD reviews the Sega Genesis Model 2 video game system console. The Sega Genesis Model 2 is the smaller Genesis that was released in 1994. The Sega Genesis was first launched in the united states in 1989 with the model 1, the model 2 is much smaller, was less expensive and had a few things removed like the headphone volume control. The Genesis is known as the Mega Drive (or Megadrive) in Europe and looks more or less the same. All Mega Drive (Megadrive) games play on the model 1 and model 2, depending on if yours is US, Japanese, European, etc… There is even a Model 3 MD which is the smallest of the bunch. This video reviews the build quality and features of the Model 2 vs. the Model 1. There are hundreds of amazing 16-bit games for the Genesis like Sonic the Hedgehog, Revenge of Shinobi, Jungle Strike and X-Men. Your Model 1 controllers will work with Model 2, they have the same connectors. Check it out, see if buying a Model 2 Sega Genesis is right for you, or if you should pick up a used Model 1. SEGA!

    @Filipinogirl2009 This is his actual job if I’m not mistaken. I envy his ability to do what he does.

    You can still get stereo from the Model 2 if you know how to hook it up right. But I guess most people don’t…

    I got my Genesis model 2 for only $30 at my local Play N Trade store. It came in the original box and it came with Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

    The Sega Genesis Model 2 looks like the Mega Drive 2 in the UK!
    I suppose it was because in the USA, the Mega Drive turned to the Genesis.
    The only difference is the buttons are black, unlike the red on the UK version, and the UK version doesn’t have the label “Genesis” on top.

    I think the model 2 genesis is “underrated” compared to the model 1 and the model 3. Mainly the model 2 genesis is the only genesis I own.

    Sega stopped the high definition graphics claim because the snes was around for about three years and the snes is more powerful than the genesis so that made the high definition graphics claim was not really true.

    @rvcblkdrgn The Soldering is cracked on the av port. All you need to do is take the genesis apart and resolder it
