ugh, that one is a waste. A friend of mine owns it but only keeps it around because it's part of his collection now.You sure it wasn't this one?

How do they fit so much bull crap in one $19.99 toy
"Others over on the SEGA-16 Forums have stronger opinions than mine – like this guy: “You can get more accurately emulated Genesis hardware by slotting an original cart between your ass cheeks, then sitting down quickly onto it and screaming ‘SEEEEEGGAAAA’”."

The thing I'm wondering is why is Walgreens getting all this weird video game stuff? Wasn't it last year they had that 101 NES on a chip controller for cheap too? Are they working with some sort of underground market that the other retailers refuse to deal with?

I think most of the time when the big chains get this stuff, it is ordered along with other stuff months in advance and only with minimal communication with the vending companies and the corporate departmental ordering managers.
By the way, if you see something like this at one of these major chains and want to try it out but don't really want to get burned on a bad purchase, just find out what their return policy is before buying.

I've got the AtGames Genny clone from Walgreens - it's a decent little system for what it is. Forget any of the built-in titles, they suck. But throw in an SD card and it's a nice portable Genny. The controllers feel pretty good - they're not loose and sloppy - and wireless is a nice plus. Honestly the AtGames controllers feel better than most of my original 3rd party Genesis controllers. I haven't had *great* luck with the emulation, though. I'm batting about 60% even getting games running. I don't run emulation for game consoles very often, though, so maybe I just didn't have all the right .bins for some games. Regardless, having dozens of Genny games in the living room w/ decent wireless controllers made it worth the asking price for me. If you want super-accurate emulation, and colors or sound being slightly off is going to bug you, then skip it. If you occasionally want to play Thunderforce IV or Revenge of Shinobi or something, it's does the job. I've got a Genny + Sega CD if I want to play the real thing. I just don't want to haul it, it's wires and piles of carts into other rooms so this is a nice solution.

I really like the Gopher, but I sure wish it could write savegames to the memory card.If you get yourself a Sega Gopher, you can take the SD card and have your Genesis games on the go also. Its a very decently built handheld, and comes with the appropriate cords to hook it to the TV if you'd like. I got mine from Stone Age Gamer and I'm quite content with the purchase.

Nice vid just the same. Thanks for taking the time to do itI managed to get this thing at Walgreen's last night. It was $20 and has been 'lost' since before Christmas. Yes, the emulation sucks and the controllers look like sex toys. But it uses SD cards and to me that is its saving grace.
I made a video of it if you guys would liek to watch. Sorry for the quality, it was late when I shot it.

I was able to do what I wanted, which was load homebrew roms. But I did make my own power supply for it, which is cool that I don't have to have EIGHT batteries every time I want to play it.
