Oh, that right there takes me back. My cousin had one of those, and we played a ton of Sonic, Golden Axe 2, Shinobi and more on that machine. Great device.

They had a model 1 Sega Genesis with the "High Definition Graphics" band around the dome. That's the earliest model of the system, and for a while there, they were going for quite a pretty penny on eBay (complete ones with AC adapter, composite video cable, and controller still go for like $60 or so...they were up around double that). I only ever owned a Genesis model 2, which was the smaller all-black unit with no headphone jack. So I picked it up. It's dirty for sure, and needs to be disassembled and have all the nooks and crannies scrubbed, but I dig it.
