Side by Side Comparison of: Sega vs Hyperkin vs Retro-Bit vs Gtron

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
