@johnpenguinthe3rd13 2 ай бұрын

I was still playing my Sega Genesis during 1998. The next gen of gaming (Sega Saturn and Playstation) didn't start in America till later in 1995 and I was a late adopter to the new consoles since my family didn't want to buy a new console (parents had tons of money, but they were cheap. LOL), so I kept playing my Sega Genesis (and I picked up a new Sega CD for only $40 and a new 32X for only $20 since both of those were on clearance sales by 1997). I got my first job during summer of 1998 at a high class golf course (super easy job with some very high tippers giving me $100 bills for very little work) and bought myself a brand new Nintendo 64 during August and a used Sega Saturn during October 1998 (the Sega Saturn was already dead at that point, but I still wanted it. I'm happy I got it since I got all it's rare games at the time for dirty cheap. For example, I picked up a brand new copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga for only $35 during October 1998. That game is worth thousands of dollars now). However, once stores near me stopped carrying Sega Saturn games by early 1999 I eventually got a Playstation 1 during mid 1999. Anyway, Despite owning the newer consoles, I kept playing Sega Genesis (used game stores near me still had copies of used Sega Genesis games till about 2001. After that they stopped carrying them and that's when I gave the Genesis a break. I still play it at least once a year in recent years. World Series Baseball 98 was one of my Sega Genesis games when it first released and it was fun.

Born and living here in the UK, baseball games were few and far between on my Genesis (Megadrive in Europe). Also, you had the region lock, so that limited playing all the titles here. So it left Big Hurt Baseball, which I found at the time really good and enjoyable. Now I play all the others on Android and PC through emulators. So I can now see what all the others played like 😊😊

@@RetroSunday there are two failures of genesis carts one is with the vias(the metal rings connecting a trace from one side to the other) on tengen carts. You need to check continuity to all pins from each trace to each chip and to each via to make sure all are connected. I fixed one by scraping the blue solder resist(coating) off the via and running a cap leg through. Another main failure in any cart is that the roms actually have protection diodes inside them to protect voltages and when they die the cart won’t work. There is a video on KZfaq showing the fix of addding resistors to the lines. Let me know if you ever fix one!
