  • Worth every penny, and then some!
So, I've recently been feeling nostalgic for the days of video gaming past. When games were, by today's technical standards anyway, simple but no less enjoyable. The Sega Genesis, in the late 80s/early-mid 90s, was a shining example of that and I wanted to get back into it. At first I thought of going with a Retron unit, but I've had bad luck with those in the past and decided against it. I then went ahead and ordered some original Genesis hardware from a site called DKOldies.com. Great prices and all but the system I ordered (Genesis 3) arrived heavily scratched, missing one of the covers on the cartridge slot, and the piece of crap controller they included stopped working after less than an hour of gameplay. No joke. Fortunately, the company made the return process very simple. Perusing Amazon for something comparable, I stumbled upon the Minigen. I was hesitant to give it a try because I'd never heard of Gamerz Tek before, and I figured it'd be a piece of crap like the Retrons I've had. But for $30 including two six-button controllers, it was worth a shot. Well, color me surprised, because this is easily the best clone system I've ever used. I wasn't expecting much at all, but my expectations were surpassed. The controllers are very well-made and responsive. Better than anything a Retron or AtGames system includes, for sure. I'd price the controllers alone at about $20 for the pair. They aren't quite as heavy as the original Genesis units, but they're more than sufficient. The name "Minigen?" Fits perfectly. This thing is actually smaller than the Genesis 3. It fits comfortably atop my Sony Blu-ray player with room to spare. See the included photo for reference. Above all else, the gameplay is smooth and flawless. Sure, it's not HDMI output, but for $30 that shouldn't be expected. The standard AV cable does the job just fine for games that are 20+ years old. It's my understanding that the system won't play Genesis games with certain "special" chips, i.e. Virtua Racing and Gargoyles, but I don't recall there even being too many titles like that anyway. You can always get an original Genesis 1 or 2 on the cheap if you really want to play those. I've tried the Minigen with each of the following games and they have all worked perfectly: Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2, Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 3, Streets of Rage, Maximum Carnage, Street Fighter II Special Champion Edition, Columns, Golden Axe, Revenge of Shinobi, Super Hang-On, Road Rash II, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, X-Men, and Disney's World of Illusion. Flawless, all of them. My only criticism: the grip on the cartridges in the slot is *very* tight. Like, visegrips-tight. The trick to getting a game out is to pull up from the left or right side of the cartridge, as opposed to straight up from the middle. But aside from that lone flaw, this was $30 well spent and I can't recommend it enough. Well-done, Gamerz Tek. ... show more

  • Works with my old Genesis cartridges
This is a fun nostalgia trip for me. It comes with two controllers, power supply, and its own video cable. It works with all my classic sega genesis games. The only issue I seem to have is that the aspect ratio is off…the image doesn’t fit properly on my tv or monitor. It gets cropped a bit at the edges. It’s probably user error, but if someone else experiences this, please let me know what you did to fix it! ... show more

  • Great at first but won't last long
After 4 months and only using it 20ish times, both controllers stopped working correctly. They won't move to the right which is very odd. It started slowly but then eventually stopped. So I'm not sure if it's a consol issue or the controllers themselves. Very disappointed because it worked great up until we couldn't use it anymore! ... show more

  • Scratch that Sega Genesis itch!
The Minigen is an excellent product if you want an easy Sega Genesis fix. The high compatibility rate, two well made controllers, and that model 2 likeness hit almost all the sweet spots for me. Most importantly IT SOUNDS FANTASTIC, unlike another Genesis clone in particular. The only nitpick I can think to mention is the tight gripping cartridge port (common among clone consoles). Then there is the lightweight design due to it's surprisingly compact form factor, and the composite-only output (although these can be good things depending on the user). Overall, I think Gamerz Tek hit it out of the park with this product. The Minigen has it where it counts. I know that I'll be enjoying mine for hours upon hours, and that is what's most important. Now if they release an HDMI variant... ... show more

  • Decent System.
System works fine. Problem being was the AV cable sent was defective. Extremely fuzzy screen. Replaced with one of my own higher quality cables and picture and sound is great. Contacted Gamerz Tek 3 times and left 3 messages during their work hours and they didn't answer and I was never contacted back. Update: They did get back with me finally. They did then send out new AV cord which arrived promply. Problem is it has the same issue as the first one (fuzzy picture) Went ahead and put mine back onto the unit. Not going to bother to get another from Gamerz Tek. Will just order another 12' $5.99 gold plated RCA cable like I installed on my unit from Amazon again. Maybe it's just a bad lot of them but from other reviews it appears to be a common problem. So if you order and have any issues with grainy/fuzzy picture I recommend getting a decent quality AV cable ... show more

  • Great system, if you're on the fence and you're an old fart missing playing video games buy it!
If you enjoyed playing Sega Genesis in the early 90's, specifically NHL 94 or Mortal Kombat 2 BUY THIS SYSTEM! Now that I'm an old fart I can't keep up with all the stupid buttons in all the stupid games for the latest xbox or play station. Therefore I needed to go back to a simpler time where 'tards like me could actually enjoy playing video games. Enter this little guy right here. I took a chance buying it, I've never heard of it, or the company, but for $30 being able to play NHL 94 again in all its glory really is a lot of fun. Even better there's now a video game that both my teenage boys love playing with their old dad, and I can actually keep up with them. If you're on the fence, buy it! Just make sure you have a tv with the RCA plugs to play it, I have no idea how it would look on an HD TV (probably not as good), but it looks great on our old tv. ... show more
