Hi all, well finally managed to hook up with the guy who was selling the sega system. I have it here and have tested it and it works great. The only minor problem is that some of the cartridges have gotten dirty and need cleaning. From what I've read on gamefaqs and other places this is a common problem for systems like the segas and some of the nintendos. It's funny because I really don't seem to have this problem with my old atari systems and they are if anything older than the sega. Cleaning these is a pretty simple matter so this should not be a major problem. This system appears to be the first model because it has the volume control and the earphone jack, I was honestly expecting it to be bigger than what it is from the descriptions. The audio on my tv itself is not stereo unfortunately, however I am able to connect the audio jack up to my stereo so will be able to get stereo sound that way. I am assuming that the big edge connector on the right end of the system is where you connect up the cd add-on which I of course do not have as of yet. I don't know if this connector is supposed to have a cover over it if it is not in use, I would think so but this does not have one.
Now to the games that came with it, hopefully some of you will have some advice as to whether or not any of these are playable at all for us. This is taken directly from the ad. -SEGA GENESIS-2remotes,8 games (MADDEN 96....WORLD SERIES BASEBALL.....BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD....OLYMPIC GOLD BARCELONA 96...ECCO THE DOLPHIN....VIRTUAL BART.....SONIC 2.....AND SONIC SPINBALL) the system STILL plays great! Of course he means controlers where he says remotes. Any advice as to the useability of any of these would be appreciated, and if I figure anything out about them I will of course post here.. Well I am off to try cleaning some of these carts. Tom -- .
