Side by Side Comparison of: Hyperkin vs Sega

I love my Hyperkin it works well on Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country . MUST BUY OLDER ORGINAL CONTROLS THESE AREEE HORRIBLE... it makes the gameplay wayyyy more frustrating!!!

this is the most awesome game system to come along..i have tons of genesis games from the mid 90's and Nintendo stuff from that same general era..this is MORE than worth the price..i'm playing my genesis games and loving them.only one con..the genesis games fit in so tightly that they're really hard to pull back out..do it carefully..every time I pull out a game I think I probably broke the system..but it's not so..just takes some elbow grease to yank them out./just yank carefully.

Plays everything I have tested so far, I know some games will not work, but I am yet to see one. I know it feels light and it's not "The REAL thing" but it plays all of them and quite well. Think of the cost of all 3 real units VS this. Well worth the money. NOT HDMI but standard AV cables, get a converter if your using this for a new TV system.

Works great, highly reccommended, no awkward tricks needed to get your old games to work like back in the day with the respective consoles. It's a bit light, and the controllers leave something to be desired in the wireless features (classic mario kart battles not reccommended if you're a controller-in-the-hands-mover), but the console has ports to allow for the classic console contorllers to be plugged in to it, which is awesome. But, because it's so light, you can take it anywhere, put it anywhere, and with the top load design (with dust covers for the ports) just like back in the day, it's a trip down memory lane every time you turn it on. Can't wait to get the kids classicly trained!

As a game player since the Atari 2600 era, I can still recall how I watched in awe of the first NES games I saw. Their characters were so much more defined than previous fare. How I marveled at the Light Gun upon first use! I fondly recall the "war" between SNES and Genesis loyalists of the 90's. Well the war is over...and this console buries it! Come SNES fans, come Genesis adherents, gather together and bring your NES Light Gun because this unit plays them all! Don't like buying batteries for the wireless controllers provided? This unit has 2 genuine controller ports for each system so your old controllers are compatible, too. The music may come off as a bit grainy at times compared to what I recall of the sounds from the original consoles. But, then again the original consoles were not cranking out BOSE quality music either. I just thought if I noticed it, someone else might, too, so I figured I'd mention it. The graphics are just as I recalled them from the good old days and the S-Video option just makes it better. So in conclusion: if you liked NES, SNES, Genesis games or any combination of the three, you should enjoy this unit as you breathe life back into your old favorites.

I purchased my Retron 3 after the death of my original SNES and NES, and Even though my Genesis is still operational, it has been showing it's age, so I wanted to consolidate at the same time as replacing my dead systems. out of the box it had a few problems, the snes portion had really distorted sound, Genesis sound was slightly off, and the power switch broke on the first day I had it. while some people would just write it off as a piece of junk, and forget it, I like to do my research before a purchase and knew going in that this would not be a perfect product and that I would have to do some work to it to get it to be what I wanted.Warning: some tech speak aheadAfter soldering in a new power switch, and changing some of the internal components that handled sound, I had a very nice system capable of playing most SNES games, even super FX games, only SA-1 titles will not run (kirby superstar, some versions of Mario RPG), and every Genesis game (except Virtua Racing) while some buyers have reported having issues running certain games (Ecco Tides Of Time, Xmen) I have found that pressing the reset button, or flipping the O/J region switch on the back of the console fixes 98% of Genesis game problems.The NES portion has typical NOAC game incompatibilities such as Battletoads and Paperboy, however Castlevania 3 can be made to work with the addition of a missing chip.NOTE About compatibility: before playing ANY game on the system properly clean the games with Isopropyl Alcohol! These games are over 20 years old, and attempting to use dirty cartridges with the system will result in the game not working, even if they will run on original hardware!.I have been able to get special accessories such as the Game Genies, Everdrive MD, Super Everdrive, Famicom Disk System to work reliably, and the controller ports work great for most official and third party controllers. The pack in wireless controllers are not the greatest, but do function in a pinch.That said I cannot really recommend the console to novices who are just looking to use it as it comes out of the box, but instead to someone like me who is a tinkerer and likes to see how things work, because then It's a great alternative to aging collectible hardware.I also have to recommend the console to adult gamers since although built sturdy it is still a bit lightweight and expensive to stand up to young kids or abuse.

Works well so far, although the resolution (as expected) isn't made for modern tv's so it looks very blocky on my 32 inch tv but it works, brings back memories and is fun to play games I used to play as a kid.my biggest complain about this console is Controllers, but I bought a wired controller tfrom the Hyperlink and so my only problem was solved.

Comes pre-loaded with a ton of great games and can play Sega Genesis games as well. Well worth the buy and I hope they come out with an N64 one soon.

My husband and I love to play retro games, so this was a no-brainer addition to our repertoire. Easy set-up, cords included, great game selection, and a whole lot of nostalgic fun! Really enjoy this product!

Works with all games and though the wireless remotes are basically pointless (especially with 2 player) you can plug in regular remotes in and you'll never notice the difference from an original Sega Genesis. It does come with some good games though the it is also full of plenty of junk ones.

This gives me the opportunity to have a lot of games at my fingertips. I also like the fact I have 80 games on the system but I can also put other games in to play like a normal game system. Thank you for selling this game system online.

This thing is really cool. The musics tone is messed up but other than that is great. It comes with 80 games pre installed like all the sonic games including sonic 3-D. And it has a slot for playing those game cartridges. I'd recommend this to any 80s gamers.

Amazing console,only real complaints is the location of controller ports,the nes ports are a bit weird,i thought i had plugged my controller into port 1 by instinct,but apparently it was plugged into port 2,if you dont mind turning the console to where the ports are facing you,then no problem,and last complaint is sometimes (exp 150 games in 1 carts) some games wont play because of the chip in the original NES coding that only allows official games to be played on an official system,but if you dont have a 150 in 1 cart or somethinf and you have the legit cartridge,you should be fine. A definite "should" buy.

Works pretty good. Had mine for a few years now. I've read varying reviews on this, some people say that some of the different game types dont work too well. For me, its the SNES. I have to re-insert cartridges several times to get it to work, although the NES and Sega ports work just fine.The controllers that it comes with work ok, but the are IR, so you have to point them at the system for them to work. They also lag a little, so for some of the quicker games like Ninja Gaiden or even Super Mario World, it's tough to play using the stock controller. Fortunately, it has 2 ports for each controller type, so you can buy some after market controllers and plug those in, and it works pretty well.I have to say, its awesome to be able to dive back into my old games, I even have a POS tube TV to hook this up to for the full effect. I would give this 5 stars if the SNES port worked better.

i only bought a few games for this, the genesis mostly does not work well, but the super NES games work and i bought the controllers for it work great, the nes games are so basic but my kids like them, grab any games you find cheap as they are going up, and i would suggest you dont buy the zapper gun if you have a flat screen,some games dont work i should look up the list but im sure its on here for you to findbut i do feel that owning one of these is so cool as it was the games i grew up with and the cartridges are more sturdy and rugged than the disks i dont mind my kids playing these with such titles as kirby and mario of course sonic the old WWF gamesi know im no grammer studend but hey im just informing you that this is as close to being young as the fountain of youth lol have fun daddys out there who can remember forward back forward punch (mortal kombat)

well, for starters... it came in the mail and it looked awesome, i mainly bought the thing so i wouldn't have to actually play my SNES, NES, and genesis... and at first, i opened it up, and the design of the whole thing was small, space saving, no cords everywhere, and it seemed so nice, and it was... immediately,i just stuck starfox in the SNES slot, worked great, but the colors were weird, and it was a bit dark... next i tried to use my super gameboy, it worked... but my ears have never heard such a horrible noise as the sound quality for it, and the snes mouse worked for mario paint.... all of my SNES games worked, as for the genesis and NES... but, i go to put in dragon warrior... it didnt work at all, i cleaned it and everything, worked in my actual NES, but not in this... so i moved on to the castlevania trilogy, it all worked great.. same with mario, and all my other 39 regular non battery backed save games... so i went to play manic mansion, it did the same as dragon warrior... same gray screen with scattered pixels and everything... i tried zelda 2, same excact thing... all my NES battery backed save games did NOT work on the thing... nut, now on to something else... first of all, everyone knows this, the controllers suck, they look awesome, but suck.... now, a problem i had with this thing was no instruction manual, its nice to have... but it didnt have one... i may be a teenager, but i figure'd this thing out easy, because its so simple, yet awesome and if you dont have one, and your into classic gaming, reliving your childhood, or just getting into retro gaming, this thing is for you!

I got the console as expected, so far it works great for all games and modes, and all controller ports work great. My title says "works great on an older TV", simply because it doesnt work on a newer TV, I would say anything newer than 5 years old this console will not work, but it does work on my older heavy TV set. I am giving it a 4 because of this, it is fun to relive my childhood, but it would have been funner to do so on my new 52in TV.The provided AV cable works great on older TV sets, but not the newer TV (5yrs old), the provided S cable, did not work on my computer or my newer TV. I have yet to try high def cables, they might do the trick, but would rather not waste the money now since it does work on my older heavier TV. Good luck to you all!!PS. make sure you have the games you really loved to play!UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE..10/27/12 just tried high def cables (av and s video) and they both work great on my new TV. this is awesome. anyone who is thinking of reliving their old games consoles should really give this thing a try. its a good investment, only downside, is I have to go out and find more games to play on this thing, which ofcourse will also be the fun side... just don't ask my wife what she thinks LOL..Buy it it's more fun than playing them on the Computer Emulator.

I was pleased that the item arrived brand new, in the original box & wrapping. At first, I couldn't get the system to work & I was frustrated, but when my boyfriend took over, it worked well. The controllers didn't want to work at first, but now they seem to be doing fine. For some reason the controller didn't work until I put the batteries in the second controller, then it was OK. My Nintendo games play well, except for Super Mario Brothers 3 & Taboo. The Sega Genesis games work fine. I don't have any Super Nintendo games - yet - so I will have to wait & see how those work when I get some. I would recommend this system & mention it may be less frustrating if you have the original controllers, not the wireless ones, but if you don't, it will still be OK.

It worked for a month and that is all

Resolution is not so great on modern screens, but that is to be expected. The wireless controllers are not the best (hence no 5th. Star) so make sure you get 2 wired ones as well, but otherwise the product does what it should. Blast from the past that is small and lightweight so its easy to take on vacation or such.Happy cutomer here.

So until I bought this console I had never played or really had seen any Sega Console or too much gameplay from it (I grew up in the sixth generation of consoles) but recently I have been going crazy getting as many consoles as I can so that I can experience what I missed and I must say this Genesis did the trick pretty well.Pros:80 games built in40 of which are real sega gamesFits anywhere pretty wellCartridge slotGood MenuFastTwo controller ports (trust me you'll want wired controllers)Cons:Audio is annoyingWireless controllers are Infrared (you'll have to be pointing it directly at the console)Very light, to the point it gets pulled out when using wired controllersSo all in all it's a really good deal, sure it may have some flaws but I was blown away by the games that were on it. So I'd say I had a pretty good introduction to Sega

I would like to give this item a 3.5, but since I can not I will round up to a 4. It was shipped on time and plays as expected. The only issue I have is the wireless controllers. The backing to them has a tiny phillips head screw that needs to place the batteries into the controllers. It is a difficult screw to remove. Other than that one issue this product works just fine.

It's worth more than what u pay for. Only thing different is the wireless controller you need to buy batteries and the sound is different. Still can enjoy ur sega years with their games and cartridges you already have.

I bought this for my son, who for some reason likes "classic" games over xbox or playstation stuff. I asked him if I had gotten the right one and if he liked it. He said, "It's the tits." That's as good as it gets.

The product arrived on time in proper packaging. We have had the system almost a year 2 of the 3 slots work. A lot of the games we have tried using tend not to work we have brought it to a local shop thinking maybe it was the games where they stated it is the system. All in all it last the majority of the year the kids loved seeing/playing the older games.

Positive - It plays the games. The negatives - There are no instructions for the either the device or the wireless controllers. I am unsure if the controllers are just sitting there burning out the batteries or if there is an automatic standby setting. The range on the controllers is very limited. They have to be almost directly in front of the Retron and be no father than about 12 inches.Advice - if you do not have access to controllers that you can plug into the game station, purchase them when you order this system.

We got this due to a huge supply of old video games. The controllers are just a total waste of a pair of batteries. And amazingly these guys don't even sell or recommend who to get the decent SNES, NES and Sega controllers from or even sell workable ones.The graphics are somewhat poor to me, the fact that 30 years of technology has come forward you would think they could make one that would blow your socks off. Not yet!

We purchased this product so we would be able to play the video games that we used to enjoy with our son (he's 3 and loves "sega" aka. Sonic) on something other than daddies PS3 and would be inexpensive enough for him to be able to call it "his". We went out and purchased an old school "tube tv" for his room so we would be able to play Duck Hunt with him (since because of the flash gun, duck hunt will only work on tube tv's).We got the system today and while it plays the games so far without any problems, the wireless controllers that comes with it are just junk. We were a little disappointed because the most exciting part about the system for us was the NES slot and showing our 3 yr old "Duck Hunt"!! Now we have to wait until we get an original NES controller (we already purchased the SNES and SEGA ones, thank goodness or he wouldn't have even been able to play the system until the weekend) but that is really the only complaint I have about it at the moment. I gave it three stars, because for me the ability to play all three of these console games in just one unit is awesome, but I do think that the items you supply with your product ( ie. the wireless controllers) should work correctly or you shouldn't include them at all.

The Good: It is really great that this sort of thing exists since I've gone through 2 regular SNES systems in the past 10 years and they're only going up in value. Since they're all old, they're getting harder to find a good system that I am confident will last long before getting glitchy. This is a good stop-gap, but I'd stick to the originals (for reasons below) if playing an involved RPG. I've been playing it for about a month now and it has held up pretty good and plays MOST, but not all, of my games.I LOVE that it includes sockets for the original controllers. This is, unfortunately, quite necessary (see below). It also saves a lot of space and won't destroy your save file (like other retro-remake systems will). Visually, the color is a little saturated, but not too big of a difference. Blue= blueish- purple in some cases.The Bad: The sound for all three platforms (SNES, NES, and Genesis) all have severely distorted sound. This makes it hard to listen to the otherwise good music in a lot of classic games. I literally switched back to my old SNES playing Final Fantasy III because the high notes are so overmodulated.The Ugly: The wireless controllers simply do not work. There is an extreme delay when the button push registers at all, which it usually doesn't.Doesn't play a few games I really like: Skyshark for the NES and Kirby Superstar for the SNES are what I've found so far. They play fine on the old systems. It's a hassle to have to plug in the old one (thank goodness I have them!). Some committed retro gamers won't like this part if they have obscure favorites that simply won't work on this.Overall: It's a great idea and I'm looking forward to the Retron 5. Hopefully they improve on the glitches noted above. It makes a great backup and has really cut down on the aging process that my overplayed SNES has endured for 20 some years.

Bought this Hyperkin Retron 3 video game system. Thought it would be nice to have an all in one. Instructions are on the box, not on a separate sheet. The S-video cable didn't seem to work, tried the AV cable still not working. Moved the games in and out a few times and finally got them to work after trial and error and reset. Had to pull up on the cartridge. Haven't tried the Genesis slot yet. Sound quality is about a 3 out of 5. Controllers are light and feel lesser quality and less game control. Unit is light weight and feels cheaply made. We used the Super Nintendo controller which was much better. No where near the quality of original Nintendo, but if it lasts a few years it will be worth the cost. Hoping it will grow on me!

The system works with the original games and the built in games are fun. You definately need to buy your own wired controls as the included wireless ones are horrible. You have to specifically point the laser from the control directly to the console for it to work right.

Not all the games play, and the sounds are not all that great.

Bought 1, the first 1 randomly start tripping but the 2nd one works fine. Would've been nice if I could save my progress though

You know when I first plugged in this Sega Genesis Flashback I knew I would be psyched to play this to a degree.Sonic's Ultimate Sega Genesis Collection managed to soak up that desired nostalgia from my gap away from the Sega Genesis for so long.Now this Flashback console added Jewel Master.Columns III.Chakan:The Forever Man,The Ooze,and Eternal Champions which was cool.I didn't catch on to this but Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is missing from the family of Sonic titles...strange.None of the games are slow so there's no framerate lag.The audio is fair-you can hear a little distortion finish to the music tracks from the pitch being a little off.Controller buttons respond well and no complaints about the quality.My wireless controllers pick up a better signal than people judged about.I didn't like the tiny Phillips screw for the already well snapping in controller battery covers.Game Selection/Cartridge Slot:If you haven't caught on yet you get 40 Sega Genesis titles and 40 homemade non-genesis titles.Aside from mentioning Sonic 3 not being among this boxed version (with Sonic on it).There is a new version with Mortal Kombat 1-3 on it that switches places with more Sonic titles and keeping the Sega Genesis game quantity at 40.Now we get to the cartridge slot and I had only had Joe Montana NFL Football '94,Dragon's Fury,and Dragon's Revenge.The one game that didn't work was Dragon's Revenge and it doesn't use any proprietary technology as others mentioned in this compatibility issue.I chalked this up as my game's cartridge board were beyond cleaning and I put hard to see wear on it 20 years ago.So I acquired a brand new/factory sealed copy of Dragon's Revenge(which was fairly pricy)...it didn't work either.I was very mad and it makes me hesitant to buy even any well treated Genesis games because you don't know what will and won't work.I paid $47 for it and I was just desiring the other 40 titles and the cartridge issue.I'd play $75-80 for this Flashback console if it had over 100 genesis titles or 50 game expansion packs you could plug into the system.Bottom Line:I like what AtGames has done with the ColecoVision,Intellivision,and Atari Flashback consoles.And those systems by the way?no homemade stuff...all titles released for those systems.Now for AtGames to build on any of these systems more is of course licensing fees and increase the amount of games not switch out (like the Genesis flashback Sonic vs. MK version for 2015).It's funny though you look at this Sega Genesis flashback and even though it's the most expensive.Even though some may call the ColecoVision,Intellivision,and Atari outdated through taste preference.The Genesis is the one I consider to be flawed.

The picture quality looks like it is back in the 1980s, but good game for $40. Have to sit close for wireless to work. Like that two can play together. Husband likes to play games from his childhood.

The controllers suck. You have to be so close to the TV to get them to work that it's not even worth having them be wireless. Also, if you decide to buy wire controllers for it, make sure you buy ones with longer cords and make sure you know what cord size you're buying. I bought cords that were probably 3 feet long...also worthless.

Controllers are garbage unless pointed at console, cartridge slots feel like they will yank board out of games. Atleast you use the real controllers but slots are in a bad spot, Buy the real consoles, this can be convenient until then.

Bring back memories from the 90's! I rock all my old NES games on here without any issues. Well, the only issue is the damn controller! Stupid infrared sucks! You need to be super-close to the console to make this thing work. Thats the only reason why I gave this 2 stars. Other than that, the console plays perfectly, especially if you can plug your old NES controller, which is what I do now. FIX THE INFRARED!!!

the controllers are complete junk. DO NOT BUY. half the reason i ordered this was for the wireless controllers which dont work period. yall should stop selling these cruddy products. youre probably trying to get rid of all the faulty ones. well stop. you are getting rich off of people who dont make the amount of money you do. I REPEAT DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY

I got this as a gift for my nephews for xmas 2013. They plugged it up and only the NES/SNES game part would do anything-they couldn't get the SEGA part of the system to work. They tried unplugging and replugging it all up....they tried cleaning the system and the games....nothing.....Am returning.....

You get what you pay for...This is a three-in-one system.a) Two SNES or Gen. controllers plugged in at the same time causes conflicts. Meaning, some buttons do not work.b) The slot hole for SNES is not big enough for some games to get full lead contacts on the cartridge, so they don't work.c) The RCA wires that come with it are REALLY cheap, and the middle part broke off on me in the R-audio connector.d) The controllers are LED remotes, so do not rely upon them. Useless.Other than that, it worked. Meaning that the NES portion worked, but the other two were a 50% split. I suggest spending a little more and getting something else in the end.

I saw this on amazon and was excited, I could just have one system to play games for 3. I went out to antuque and thrift stores and got some genesis games. I never had a Genesis before. The games seem to play fine. As do those for the Nes and SNES. The system does not feel cheap. It is easy to figure out what to do and where things go on the system. The problem I have with this system is with the controller. It does not work at all. My character in a game will move for a second then stop. Now I have to go out and get a Genesis controller. I don't see why they would make such a bad controller for such a cool system. I would recomend this to people only if they did not mind having to go out and buy controllers for the three systems. That really would not be a problem if the system was a little cheaper.

Can use only one wireless control at a time,using two makes it lock up.no good

I bought this for my wife for christmas. Its not that user friendly and if the controller isn't pointing right at the machine it won't react to what buttons your pressing.. I will need to buy a wired remote now to be able to play without standing up holding my hands in the direction of the console. Other than that i was please with my purchase

Most of the games are cheezy. Product really isnt worth the money paid for!

Graphics are not good on larger televisions. You are not able to save your place in the games.

Stopped working after the first time I played it. Sending back.

Right now I only give this unit two stars. It hooked up to a tv ok but all it seems to do is go through the game list and even with pushing all the buttons on the controllers with new batteries in it I can't get it to go to a game and play.

It doesn’t work for all SEGA genesis games. I have 5 and only works one game. The others just appear on the screen games created for SEGA génesis and don’t work. Worst possible costumer service. First they told me it was a problem with the hardware then, that the retron isn’t compatible with all sega games. Which they don’t mention anywhere. Then that the games were other regions, and when I told it were from th USA they retun to the excuse it doesn’t read all games. So I have a damaged retron and they do nothing. Worst experience ever!

Awesome concept but don't be fooled as I was that 1 star reviews are just whining about controllers. System is very poorly built, you have to jam games in and out of ports. My NES port didn't work out of box. Most people seem to have a broken snes port but mine was the NES port. You can expect to have at least one of three ports to break or not work out of box. Great idea and snes games looked great but never got to see NES game performance. Seems not to support most Sega games either. I was fine with crappy controllers since it used my originals but system is built very poorly

This product came fast, packed well and looks great however this item is very cheaply made. The wireless remotes don't really work unless your directly in front of it. Also on the the contacts on the remote was messed up and has intermittent play. Good idea and concept but shotty construction.

A great idea to be able to play three games using one console, and adding two wireless controllers that can be used for all three consoles. Unfortunately the wireless controllers don't seem to sense when you are pressing buttons so there will be times when your character will just stand there doing nothing. also the NES cartridge reader held onto my cartridges so tightly that after I took out my NES cartridge three or four times the reader was damaged.If they could add an eject button for the NES part of the system at least (eject buttons for all three would be better) then I might have actually tried to get the wireless controllers to work. Even if I couldn't do that I could still use the original controllers because it does have two controller sockets for each of the systems.

I am really disappointed with this purchase! I buy a ton of stuff on Amazon, but this one was a bust! My son lives in another state, I paid for gift wrap too. He was so excited I let him open early before Christmas over Skype, he plugs it in the next day and it doesn't work. The worst part is I can't even return it now because the expiration date past! It was a gift! Well, I had to go to another buyer on amazon and spend another 60 for the unit and 20 to ship it to him in two days. Not cool! I will let you know how it goes with the other vendor.

I purchased this a while ago. I figured I could saved some space in my studio apartment by having a 3 in one system. Within the first few weeks the controller ports on the NES side and SNES side quit working. Shortly after that the thing started having glitches with most games. There are also compatibility issues. The sound from the Genesis emulation on it makes the games sound like nails going through a blender. The pitch is off and the sound is grating. In the end I ended up obtaining a NES, SNES, and Genesis and put this thing in a closet. If you'd like to spend $70 for a doorstop, then buy this. If not, shop around. Do it right and you can get the trinity of systems for about the same price and they will be universally compatible and have a much higher build quality. Put this in perspective briefly. My Sega Genesis was built in 1989 and still runs flawlessly. I bought this Hyperkin Retron a year ago and it died in under a month. This is a cheaply built item that isn't worth the time or risk.

Cannot begin to say how terrible this is, don't waste your money

This POS didn't work when we opened it on Christmas Day! It wouldn't even turn on! Don't waste your time buying this worthless product from this seller!

We opened this product soon after it arrived, and it never worked. Everything is plugged in fine, but the console will not turn on (and power light will not illuminate). We missed our window to send back timely, so it was a waste of $50. Would not recommend.

I read everyone's review on this item and the more I reread them, the more I am now convinced that the company had their employees write those reviews. This item did not work with any game except Pete Sampras' tennis. I left negative feedback on two profiles thinking this was a functioning game system and that it was the games not working. However, I ordered an original sega in working condition from Lukie Games here in Miami and EVERYTHING WORKS. Also, the console they sell you might play games, but only on their most basic functions. You CANNOT do any sort of season, playoffs, or change the options of any game at the risk of freezing the game. Complete piece of garbage and oh yeah, I paid the same price for the working sega so that shouldn't be an issue.

The controller is too cheap. The response of the controls is horrible resulting in many cheap deaths.

Poor quality on the equipment. Game play suffers due to quality. Only used it once and wont use again.
