Gen-X Genesis and NES in One
Sure, nowadays you can probably find knock off NES and Sega Genesis gaming units at most electronics shops or kiosks at your local mall. Hell, you can even purchase units that are little more than joysticks with A/V cables attached to them and play all of the good old NES classics. But, if you grew up in the 80′s like I did with both the NES and the Genesis (I even have a vextrex somewhere in the closet) you miss the old nostalgic feel of blowing the dust of our the cartridges and slamming them into your unit just to get them to play.
Enter the Gen-X Dual station. The console has two dedicated slots which support original cartridges from the classic 1980s gaming systems. Word on the street is that it’s compatible with pretty much any Genesis or NES game you can throw at it, including Japanese titles. The system comes with everything you need, including a pair of controllers and A/V cables. While you can’t connect an original NES controller, the ports are compatible with SEGA’s original controllers.
Expect to dish out about $60 for the old time feel which is still cheaper than most titles today.
