The Sega Genesis was my first Sega video game console. I was always a Nintendo fan girl, but my friends had Sega systems. My parents had friends who owned a video store, and I was always in awe of their Sega Master System. I loved Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker, and would play it on their Sega Master System whenever I came over. My parents had a one system policy though, and since I loved the Nintendo Entertainment System so much, I definitely had to get the Super Nintendo. My best friend had a Genesis though, so I would play it whenever I went over to his house. When I was old enough that my parents let me earn some extra money, I bought myself a Genesis as soon as I could. I loved my Super Nintendo more, but I don’t regret buying the Genesis one bit. I loved the platformers on that system. They all seemed really different from those on the SNES. I loved the Sonic the Hedgehog games, and Virgin made some of the best platformers on the Genesis in the 1990’s. Cool Spot, Aladdin, and Lion King were all a whole lot of fun. I still play the Genesis from time to time just to experience some of those fun 2D platform games again. They had a whole bunch of charm, and manage to stand the test of time very well.
