Sega totally redeemed themselves when they decided to contract M2 to develop the Genesis Mini. The difference is night and day
AtGames: Oh SEGA! We heard you want to make a brand new mini conso-!
*sees SEGA and M2 shaking hands*
SEGA: It’s not me it’s you AtGames, get out
@@totallyfrozen it still murders the audio
I figured they would. The 3D Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic 2 ports for the 3DS are well done enough for the handheld.
@@Fate263 They're just nice period. I played the Sonic 1 port all the time.
Of course M2 did well, they practically got their start by porting games to the Sega Genesis. One of their first games was a port of Gauntlet.
The saddest thing is that somewhere there's a couple of programmers who thought they'd landed a gig in game development for a new console, who had this conversation shortly after getting hired:
"So, we need you to develop games for Sega Genesis hardware."
"You want us to make a Genesis game?"
"No, not *a* game, games, plural."
"How many are we talking? Two, three?"
"Forty."
"Forty??? How many years do we have to get them all out?"
"You have three weeks. Go."
Ohh so you are saying that they just did everything last minute
That'd a kind version of the truth. AtGames made these games years ago for their own cheap plug and play systems. These games were made as their own products. If they were last minute fill ins at least you could understand that. But nope.
@@medes5597 Yeah. Every one of those games plays exactly like the kind of "games" they had us make in programming class to learn basic elements like controller input or info arrays. I mean this not to brag, but to show just how little effort they actually put in, but my version of Whack A Mole which I made in a week in high school was better than theirs: mine was a "shooter" game where you were a sniper, and bad guys popped up in the windows of a building and you had to "shoot" them by clicking on them, and innocent people would pop up that you'd lose points for shooting. It had animations, it had different levels (different buildings, each with more windows and different window layouts), it had variations in how the baddies or the innocents could pop up or run by, and there were random events where lights in rooms would go out (giving you less time to spot the baddie or innocent) or curtains would be drawn (making you have to recognize the baddies or innocents by shape), it had music and sound (stock music and sound, but still), and it had a health and reload system, and I made it in 5 consecutive hour-and-fifteen-minute periods using Microsoft Visual Basic as a teenager, and I'm far from being a talented programmer by any sense of the term.
Sounds a little like the development time given for ET on the Atari!
Just so you know, SEGA cut these bastards off. The Genesis Mini is an OFFICIAL SEGA HARDWARE PRODUCT, the FIRST since the Dreamcast.
I’m so proud of them.
no they didnt. M2 made the mini genesis. saga just paid them.
@@m-98blackwidow M2 only made the software.
As someone who grew up with genesis, and STILL to this day prefer SEGA over Nintendo (aside from Pokemon Gen 1+2, and Smash Bros) it pains me to say that SEGA is the KING of taking L's in the major game market.
I only specify MAJOR because if we were factoring in the minor game market, then that honor would go to Tiger Electronics.
@@m-98blackwidow a
I had or rather have an At games console one of those little portable ones and it is not too bad especially for the money. The controls on that are fine but besides that it shares a lot of the same issues. But lessened due to the nature of a portable vs a device on a large display. One of the more glaring issues was the fact that the screen was not equally bright on both sides. The left was brighter than the right. Noticeably so. I got my money out of it but now a days I think most people would just emulate off their phones. I didn't do that because the phones at the time were not quite capable of that at least not well.
Edit: actually it would appear the portable console didn't actually have many of the issues this thing did. Besides the sound it didn't really have any of these other problems.
It’s sad to think that this console was my first ever exposure to Sega Genesis games. As a young kid I thought this was what these games really played like, and the awful sound emulation actually scared me because it was so loud and uncanny. So thanks for giving me nightmares, AtGames!
Same here
Me three 😔😬😮💨🤢🤮
This is why accurate hardware emulation and original ROM preservation is so very important.
all of those "bonus games" look like a flash game you'd see on newgrounds in 2007.
The CEOs idiot daughter that wears shoes for pasties needed work.
nah those flash games look better
falsh games are dead
youre doing 2007 newgrounds flash games a disservice by saying that lmao
Bomber was awesome still
Maybe Soulja Boi should contract ATGames to make his ripoff consoles.
Are you insane? 😵
Yes
I see you are a man of thinking “boy” should be spelled with an I unironically or not as well.
my former best friend is a loyal fan of soulja boy tell em
Lol exactly
The atgames sonic music sounds like it was created with depression
Lol it sounds like it's dying
That comment below made my day,hahaha,indeed it is fully sounds depressive on that AT Crap🤣🤣What a shame of an emulation😩😩
Bro. Look up Sega Atgames SNAKE.
@@moderndayentertainer.9516 i actually remember playing it for only like 5 seconds 4 years ago, just searched it and god it looks boring as hell
@sky-sx5gt so it was in pal mode
I remember seeing this thing at a Target store when I was a kid! I wanted it so bad but my mom said no. I don't regret this at all now...
Needless to say, ATGames is like the LJN of the modern era.
The swirly G represents the decent into madness.
Just as the rainbow in LJN's logo is the shit rainbow.
Don't tell the Angry Video Game Nerd.
@Vazazell and that one good game is...
Super Nitro Z64 it was a snes spiderman game
yeah the laughing joking numbnuts
I was one of the fools who bought that. Good job my hero, you have avenged my nostalgia.
update: found a sega genesis 2. I'M FREEEE!!!!
Edit again: got new Genesis mini. Currently hacking it.
they only made one good console and that was the hdmi modal
Sell it and get a genesis mini when it comes out
Honestly(this is my own oppinion)this consle is really good despite the "bonus games", the sound and the controller inputs dont work sometimes. (Again this is my oppinion and im not a hardcore fan of sega
I got it in christmas.
PS. The europe version has wired controllers.
Oofboi2019 how long are the wires
I got an Atari Retro Flashback from AtGames, and even though the company has had some bad ones (like this one), the Atari Retro Flashback is actually _really_ good! Games run smoothly, has HDMI support, and the wireless controllers that come with the console *_ACTUALLY WORK!_*
I think that AtGames should stick with the retro consoles pre-NES, because they _clearly_ don't know how to handle more than 8-bit games.
I’m actually pretty sure I have a flashback 10 somewhere, and it’s really good. Thanks for reminding me!
Hell, Jakks Pacific’s Atari and Activision tv game consoles worked better. The sound was way off and it had no noise filter for some reason, but everything was in tune at least and the gameplay was really nice.
Mine died after a day
How is ATGames not sued out of existence?
They deserve it for what they did to Namco

Fun fact: Many years ago, Mike Matei and Bootsy from Cinemassacre recommend this console.
Boy, were they WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually got this for Christmas one year, and I was really excited. After putting in 2 or 3 carts to the cartridge slot, I left it alone for a night. The next morning, gone. Dead. Wouldn't turn on. Was one of my worst experiences with a product I can recall.
Sorry to hear that.
how old were you? just curious.
really? was it plugged in, because mine still works even after, i think, 4 years.
Were the carts okay?
You were spared
I was tempted to pick this up at the Family Dollar for $40. Thank goodness I passed on it. Eventually picked up a Sega Genesis Mini and had zero regrets.
I bought this as a young child and it's wires shredded my dogs insides and killed it after he ate it.
I did not in fact live without regret
@@sbeveloaf1120is this a meme or did it actually get your dog killed? I’m sorry 💔
@@2fortcow I'm being serious.
@@checkerfilms No
I got one of these for Christmas quite awhile back. I was very disappointed but marveled at how horrible it was, and, the next week, when I brought my friend over to see it, it stopped working completely.
Your console died of embarrassment 😂😂😂 Even it knew what a failure it was and didn't want anyone else to see its shame!
Mine stopped working completely (and it was under the mega drive name and we used a 50hz tv, meaning I probably played the games slower) and we tried getting it fixed. The fella doing it never managed to get to doing it. A few years later, I got a computer made by the same person that we asked to fix the atgames sega genesis. The thing was SO SLOW. I stopped using it and told a fella in my class that has experience with computers and said it was a total fire hazard.
@@marioboi323I remember seeing a kid in my class show up to school with a broken copy of it and basically put it on the teacher's desk, I didn't know what a Sega Genesis was until I became a Sonic fan only 1 to 2 years later

@@ace76productions Do you work at AtGames?
@@SeekerLancer no. I dont. This is my actual oppinion.
CXV ANIMATIONS - You’re brave for saying this. Can you elaborate?
I actually bought one yesterday for £20 (~25 USD) ... but the poor controller makes playing anything really hard and I have the wired version.
If the quality was just a little bit better, it’d be great..
Get the 2018 one it’s better
Ah, yes... Infrared... I remember when my brother got an infrared controller for his PS1, we used it collectively about 5 times before giving up...
Lulz, I had a infrared ps2 controller given to me as a Christmas present. Used once, never again.
Used to have some kind of wireless PS1 controllers, never even once had issues with them. Must be a price V.S. quality issue.
Radio and Bluetooth: Allow us to introduce ourselves
Extra radiation: 'It is I, le untested extra!"
When a TV Remote and a Sega Genesis Controller Love Each other very much they create an ATgames Sega Genesis Firecore Wireless Controller.
Jack’s Pea 14:23 is maybe inspired a game called “Frantic Mouse” where a mouse have to jump to clouds like the Jack jump on a platforms
I fell victim to this console for Christmas that one year. I wanted an actual Sega Genesis, but I got this instead. It was unfortunate, because I never got an actual Genesis experience. You're better off buying the real thing. Even if you tried to put the Genesis cartridges in there, you would've had the risk of damaging them. I wouldn't take any chances.
I had a version of the dumpster fire with corded controllers. It was just as bad as the wireless version. Thankfully, I got a real Sega genesis (US model 1) for Christmas last month. Currently waiting for my HDMI genesis cable and flashcart to come in.

This 'console' looks like one of those chinese 100 games in 1 knockoffs that Ashens would review.
Just add a sad onion and "HELL FIGHTER" and this would be complete
Those systems are what this “worst ever” series is all about.
Calling this Sega Genesis wannabe a Chinese knockoff would be unfair to Chinese knockoffs.

Oh yes, I returned this bad console to Dollar General on sale...
Hey Proto! Good to see ya here, man!
Same here. Wife got this for me so I had to give it a try even though I knew better. She tried to play Streets of Rage and Mortal Kombat on 2 player(her favorites from when we were dating) but it was so laggy. Returned it the next day. Modded an Amazon Fire and she loves it.
but proto.. acutally nevermind, there is no but when it comes to this abomination.
Did someone buy it? I doubt it
I used to own this console and it was god awful
At least Sega released a Genesis mini without AtGames getting there grubby fingers on it
Yeah and without AtGames ruining it in everway possible, no was surprised that the Gens Mini was great
Proof that AtGames should honestly just stop with Sega Genesis stuff
Or maybe just shut down rather than slogging on for decades like THQ did...at least they made some good stuff right before shutting down though

Listening to the Sonic soundtrack on this console just gives me Sonic.exe vibes.
I think marble zone music sounds better in my opinion
Ah yes, the Dan The Man fan.
I kinda like the Green Hill on it. Sounds broken, but interesting.
The first time I played Sonic 1 was on a atgames sega
So I thought that was the right songs
As someone who owns this, I can say that all the problems are accurate… I still regret getting it.

Using IR for a wireless controller is such a bad idea, the receiver end is waiting for a whole burst of infrared LED strobes before it even acts. I don't think I've ever used a responsive channel changer either lol
It’s absolutely crazy how Tec Toy is fixing the sound on THEIR version but AtGames could care less
Isn't it just a capacitor of the wrong value they used in this thing? To fix it you just replace the capacitor.
At least Sega FINALLY got the message and ditched @tGames and are making the FINAL Genesis/MegaDrive HD Mini IN-HOUSE! Sega are making Hardware people; quality is assured!
We already have the Analogue Mega SG, and it performs well. Not to mention you have a unreleased game with it.
As for the multiple games issue, just use a flashcart. Two things, and done.
If you want to be extremely cheap, just make a Pi.
Mr. Balls still lives!
@@Code7Unltd You'll never get rid of sound issues glitches on a Pi especially with the megadrive. Even on the Super NT you had glitches.
_They say they'll fix bugs and there is already issues even with the firsts firmwares.
_They provided pal versions for people who order US version. So how can we trust em ?
_240 $ with 2 controllers is way too expensive.
_plus we really should support SEGA in this comeback in the hardware business since 18 years ! To encourage them to make a Saturn Mini and a Dreamcast mini..😍
(sorry for my English)
@@michaelromeo9567: What bugs does the Super NT still have? To my knowledge, almost, if not all bugs have been taken care of.
I planning on getting both a SG Mega and Genesis Mini. I already have my Genesis Mini pre-ordered and am buying the SG Mega very soon.
Lol Sega is trash
The ONLY reason I could see for the lack of stereo audio output is that the original Genesis came with a cable with only yellow and white and ATGames was like "Why should we do better?" (I used the headphone jack for sound instead as a kid since that WAS stereo). But in this day and age, it's inexcusable. I didn't know anything about this system until Sega announced their mini, so thanks for covering it!
Does the sound issues still occur when using the physical cartridge?
Yes, they do.
Yes
I think Scott the Woz showed it in one of his earlier videos using Sonic the Hedgehog. The best way to describe it is that it sounded like the original theme was in a minor key
It's a problem with the emulation not the roms. So every game will be broken
Yah
People: is this made by Sega?
ReReZ: Well yes, but actually NO.
That's because the Laughing Joking Numbnuts who made this Sega Genesis wannabe gave it 40 bootleg games too many.
Hold up...
Why is Sonic 2 rated T for Teen? Even Shadow got an E10.
All real mature men play sonic 2. Kiddies these days play shadow smh...
And true chads play sonic 06
@BJtheBassist iirc at the time of release, E10 didn’t exist, so T was used.
that's the rating for the movie.
Anomish Fish When sonic 2 released the esrb didn’t exist.
there's actually a musical term for what's happening with the music on this system -- polytonality: playing one or more parts of a song in different keys.
here's the thing, though. composers who use this technique are usually trying to create a certain effect by doing it intentionally. AtGames created the effect through sheer incompetence
So while some composers might use polytonality to create a sense of pure, indescribable dread and horror… AtGames used it to give our wallets a sense of pure, indescribable dread and horror
@@NoahDaArk lol exactly
@@NoahDaArk my wallet had a heart attack upon hearing some of these soundtracks
Some of the songs actually sound kinda ironically good. Go listen to the option menu song for sonic spinball. It's just awesome!
Is that because of lag? Or because of too much sound info being shoved through a small "output channel" if you will? (I don't know sound terminology, sorry.) I have always been confused by audio lag, like in NES games how the whole game slows down when the screen flickers because of too many sprites, because it doesn't just sound latent, it sounds like there's too much information at once, even though it isn't the case when running normally.
I had this system. Biggest complaint was the controllers. There was lag that made fast-paced games unplayable. And that's on top of the infrared line-of-sight problem. My original Genesis controllers solved that problem. And not to defend this system, but it would eventually read all my cartridges unlike other Genesis revamp systems that I've tried. And yeah, the bonus games were trash but that was to be expected. Honestly, I didn't even notice how bad the audio was because I hadn't heard the original game audio in 20 years. Thanks for the side-by-side comparison. Good video, fair critiques.
''More on playing the cartridges with the slot later!''
Never gets back 2 it!
Didnt think I could have buyers remorse for something I didnt pay for until I got this console
I got this for Christmas back in 2016. The only use it for was me and my sister attempting to play Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. That attempt didn't last long before we just tossed the thing in the dumpster where it belongs.
I got one for Christmas this year. It was such a disappointment.
Same case as Austin.
Here's the absolute biggest sin.
Mortal Kombat 3, but no Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. If I want to play a broken Mortal Kombat, I'd want to at least play the broken update instead.
no joke; those mangled sonic soundtracks make my stomach turn
The Mohjang Solitaire track has given me nightmares for over a year, and I’m not even kidding. I have not listened to it in over a year and I still hear it ring in my head.
They sound like the game has depression. Being on this sorry excuse of a console has made the ROMs depressed.
I played Alien 3 and the soundtrack sounded so sour and depressing. My cartridge said in the classic movie form, "pleeeeeeease..... Kiiiiilllll meee....."
For some reason for ristar I like the music deeper
It sounds like a game boy trying to play genisis games
15:41 Wireless Air 60 dodgeball strikes again.
I got this as a kid with 2 cheap wired controllers. I had a sleep over with my friends and we played golden axe all night. So yes it is bad, but I have good memories of it lol.
Facts bro, even getting past stage 2 on streets 3 with my cuz was amazing bc for us(cause we are bad) streets 3 is way harder then 2
I bought into the dumpster fire years before this video for 2 reasons. One, My Sega Nomad stopped working, and by topped working, I mean the dial to control the back-lit screen broke off and became unfixable. I had a few good cartirudges, couldn't find a used game shop so this was my next best step and GOOD LORD, I have more to add. I did some experiments with the pile of trash using physical cartridges I own, I took games that had some form of 3D Rendering or Pseudo 3D, Games like Toy Story or Doom. Toy Story has a Doom-like-level where you need to move the Little Green Men out of the maze, With the game hard to beat with the lousy controls given, I punched in the level skip cheat and wanted to play that level again. The level did not load; from what I could rule out, the console doesn't have the ability to perform the math instructions for the Pseudo or Fake 3D effect. So Games I had on hand such as Toy Story and Virtual Racer would be unplayable, one keeping the game from being finished and the other not booting period.
Lets KEEP going; I decided to try a different game, an Action RPG called Wonder Boy in Monster World; no 3D graphics, a hard as nails Metroidvainia with sword and magic. Clean the contacts, plugged her in and turned her on. Did, not, boot. No Screen, no noise, just death and silence and soooooooooo much darkness.... So I decided, for kicks, to get my only solid copy of a 3 in one Cartridge with 3 Sonic games, one of the being Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine... AND... Like the one before, it won't boot up.
I ripped apart the console and set fir to it the next morning. I tore apart the controllers and used them for spare parts, the buttons are now on a frankensteined PS1 controller I cobbled together and the circuit board, I repurposed into a TV remote for my old CRT Tv's after figuring out how to set them. I scrapped the shells.
... BUT THAT'S NOT THE WORST PART YET!!! There's an At Games Sega Portable, slimmer, slicker and neater but, if not worse, MORE broken than the AtGamesConsole for Genesis.
yes but you sd card so you don't waste money
The music sounds like it's crying. As if it's being forced to play and it doesn't to.
Please, put it out of it's misery!
The music to me sounds like it's in g-major or the music is really unhappy.

The Bottle Cap racing game, is closer to curling than is the curling game.
Its actually based on an IRL board game called Pitchcar which is basically what you see there. Very fun game, this doesn't do it justice (As you could probably guess...)
The Sonic Soundtracks sound like something that'd play in a Sonic.exe creepypasta.
Which... would've actually been a neat touch for the console.
Fun fact: Toy Story on this will crash the moment the 3d level starts.
Buying this piece of trash is what got me back into retro gaming years ago. I plugged it on, turned it on, and almost immediately thought "it wasn't this bad was it?". It was not.
My brother bought one of these a few years ago. Didn't see him play it, but it didn't look that bad. He later bought a real Mega Drive and hasn't touched this since. After watching this video, I can see why.
Please tell him to touch it.
Those “bonus games” are reminds me Action 52!
Yes they do. Perhaps some of the original coders of A52 produced this hardware ?
If every game ever made was made by action 52, there would be mass suicides by gamers everywhere.
*y e s*
At a fraction of the price :D
Substituting Awesome Possum and both NES and Sega Genesis versions of Action 52 for the 40 "bonus games" would be quite an improvement for this Sega Genesis wannabe.
The title theme for that mahjong game wouldn't be so bad if THE FREAKING SOUND WASNT DISTORTED
you know something sad? my first exposure to a majority of genesis titles (Comix Zone, Decap Attack, Streets of Rage) was through this console. not the exact model since it didn’t have mortal kombat but it was from AtGames. so as a little kid i assumed these were how the games sounded until i finally figured out how emulators worked.
Same here, I would play all the sonic, mortal Kombat, and Vectorman games as well as ristar, comix zone, bonanza bros, Alex kidd, and bottle taps race, I thought those were the actual audio pitches
I actually had this. 10 years later, found it left outside somehow. Still works. Still hate it.

@@MoonSarito I don't think so, all of these clone systems are just Genesis on a chip's, so in order to get any upgrade to any of these systems you need to replace the main chip completely

I love how the comparing of the sounding quality of Sonic the hedgehog (5:31) sounds like Mr Caffeine from Ubisoft E3
11:33 - 11:41: If you listen to the music closely, you probably could make out a track that almost sounds like a half-assed version of the first two Sonic games's theme.

Fun fact: The newer models have HD, the audio is fixed, the controls are more responsive and have less glitches, and the console design is more closer to the original Sega Genesis.
Different system entirely. The newer model is made by Sega themselves. It's not related to this piece of trash.
@@StormsparkPegasus im not talking about the genesis mini
@@StormsparkPegasus atgames made a new version themselves in like 2017 or 2018 that added all the changes i listed there
I would pay money to hear what the Crazybus theme sounds like on one of these.
(takes another look at the box)
...Wait a tick, why is Sonic 2 rated T for Teen?
Lol
Because people hate the character and its fans so much that they now enforce an age limit on exposure to the games, so a child won't start to like it and harm their sensitive secondhand embarrassment.
Kiera Todd you fricken frick!
@@RemixedVoice, How many years ago did that guy say that as a literal child? Let it go, for god's sake.
Forget Sonic 2, this crazy excuse for a console is rated T for terrible!
it's this atrocity that made SEGA make their own Genesis Mini... and better
@Daniel Smith ik lol
I know a family member with something from this line. At this point, the awfulness has become part of the "fun." Meanwhile, I'm slowly steaming because I can't even throw Kung Lao's hat!
Having both Vectorman games on one console is a saving grace, no other system or compilations do that.
shame to every dollar store that still sells this thing at full price
I saw one of these not in a dollar tree
Super Pokemon Bros. it's a joke
Actually shame to Dollar Tree for selling it. They are clearly ripping off the customers. :)
Imagine a dollar store selling this for more than a dollar...
Sad thing is I've mainly seen these consoles at the dollar store 😂😂😂
10:59 - yep, that's the game they made. They couldn't even be bothered to check that all of the sheep AREN'T facing the same direction. That's great work right there!
AtGames are LJN in disguise.
@@mathewdewsbury9456 what's ljn?
@Buggy 124 trust me, your poor, innocent soul does not want to know who LJN is
@@mathewdewsbury9456 well no they're not
@@devinsethna1287 I don't care, I want to know more about it.
The sound problem really feels like some kind of Sonic.EXE soundtrack
Ohhhhh man, you took me right back to a buddy bragging about his new wireless controllers.......he ended up breaking one in frustration, which we made sure he didn't forget 😬
My mom was one of the victims.
At least I didn't complain.
Actually I have a Sega Genesis Classic and it works fairly well, I even bought cartridges for it too, it's okay for what it is so I think this video is a little harsh, btw I have the non fire core version, meaning I have the wired controller version of the console. What sucks is that u need a specific type of AC Adapter for the console. Other than that I like it. The AV Out is very useful because we're still releasing TVs with AV Out and if u have a TV from the early 2000s chances are that they only support AV Out, so yes very good and cheap design for the console.
Pheroche :3 hope she didn’t spend more than $20
Pheroche :3 my mum bought me it for Christmas although mines in hdmi
@@deleteduser7166 Please stop copy pasting.
I have the ultimate Sega genesis classics so i am not complaining and i can use VR headset to play those games.
Its amazing how an actual company working with Sega could make something vastly inferior to Kega Fusion.
Best Sega emulator. Wish the developer had kept updating it. Master System, Genesis, CD and 32X emulation all in a single emulator (only downside is the window size was set along with the 2x window size which eventually became quite small as screen resolution and sizes increased over the years).
@Rokabur thankfully there stuff like picodrive and genesis plus gx that pretty great, I don't know better then kaga fusion but on my wii they run all the genesis games I threw at them perfectly. Plus virtual console not half bad.
This console would have maybe been revolutionary if it came out in the mid 90s, but then people would still be dissapointed
that weird sonic 2 boxart on the front of the box at 0:50 (with the T rating and cheap photoshopped look) cracks me up every time I see it. Remember thats Sega SIGNED OFF ON THIS.
"Curling 2010"
Are you kidding me? There's no way I could play curling without updated rosters! 🤣
That curling game could be Curling 3311 for all I care.
Bad news: I have that type of console
Good news: The controller's wired.
I do too
Smae
I have the Atgames Sega genesis too, but it is a portable system.
I do too, and it’s a lot of fun!
I got two of these, i got the wired ones i throw away those wireless ones, they suck. I still enjoy playing it, some music sound good but mostly it sounds awful.
> Infrared controllers
> Composite only
> Mono audio
This thing was obsolete before the original Genesis existed.
Something I should mention:
Some versions of this system before the HD one in 2017 had all three Genesis Phantasy Star games. However, the system had neither internal batteries nor save states. In other words, THERE WAS NO WAY TO SAVE YOUR PROGRESS. This meant either permanently leaving the system on or having to start from the beginning every single time.
even with sonic 3
I bought mine in 2015, and I don’t remember ever having the problems he said. But yeah I remember not being able to have save states. Also the old one didn’t have sonic 3, it had Sonic & Knuckles. And my box was different.
I own the one with all 3 Phantasy Star Games, but there isnt Ecco, Ecco Jr, or Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
I've had this game console and boy, was it bad!
...I actually liked that the sound was off by 4 semitones due to a clocking issue, plus I can replicate that on my computer by lowering the pitch by 4 semitones to get that AtGames feel, except it's in stereo and in HD.
If people can get the wired control pad version then they are good to go.
The sound is not that bad, just different. And as for the filler games? Well you don't need to play them. Whack a wolf is quite funny for a few minutes and there is one or two others.
Yeah, I can understand liking when the sound is off. I'm super nostalgic for Professor Layton playing on a really bad DS emulator, lol
What In The Robot?
it isn't just 4 semitones. the FM ones are but the PSG ones are 7 semitones which is what makes it sound even more offkey and eerie than if it was just pitched down a bit
@@CrashFan03 That makes a lot of sense, coming back four years later when I posted this.
The music quality makes me think about someone drowning a midi file repeatedly
I was a kid, I had something similar to this, but it was an AtGames Genesis Portable, it was still awful, how it sounds is just off, luckily I bought myself the Ultimate Genesis Collection on the 360 and that was awesome
This AtGames "SEGA Genesis" is a joke...I can't believe I actually bought one a few years ago. Made me sad. Anyway, great video and channel!
Same, n i totally agree it suckx. I♡sega genesis tho...the memories.
It game out in December of 2017 that is a bit more than a year not a few years
Hmm no wonder my genesis carts won’t work with it
I got my on Christmas and I have no problems with it
@@LifeshakyBam You have no problems with it.
Have you encountered problems where the console freezes or wouldn't let you progress in certain game as you progress? The console nearly freezes almost every time I play it for a while. Oh and in Phantasy Star IV, sometimes when I transition to battle the game softlocks. I can fix it by pressing the "rewind button on that lousy AtGames controller. Lastly when I fought Lassic as the fight drags on, the game always freezes. That's why I bought the Sega Genesis Classics Collection on the Switch and its A-ok.
The NES and the SNES Mini hardly gave me any problems. There was one incident when I tried to make a save state while playing Final Fantasy VI on the SNES, it froze and the screen turned blue. But overall the mini console is great. Just wish there was more games for the SNES Mini.
I want that sad sonic as a t-shirt
I remember getting this as an early christmas gift from my dad in 2016 I remember it being around $50-$100 around that time but I was too scared to tell him I didn't like it
I have this thing, I never used the default controller since I had my original ones. I didn't like the way the music sounded on thus version of the console but other than that it was fine (again, use official genesis controllers) the thing is this was the last iteration of the console that could run Sonic 3, the later genesis flashback console had a better sound emulator and controllers, but then it refuses to play Sonic 3. I also much prefer to play my own carts rather than the built in ones.
i had this before i was so mad i threw my controller playing sonic 3

The best part of this comment is the console won't run Sonic 3 & Knuckles 😂
"this model is the firecore!"
dont you mean *EVERY SEGA X ATGAMES CONSOLE*
I am an 80/90s child and I enjoy retro games. I have an original NES, Super NES, PS1 and PSP. Amongst newer systems starting from the Xbox 360 era. I always loved Genesis as a kid. I was a Genesis is better than Super NES kid. But I didn't have a Genesis. Ironically I work for the NYC Dept of Sanitation and one day recently on my route, I found this AT Games Genesis with the power cords but no controllers. I took it home and it started up, so I ordered 2 original 6 button Genesis controllers off Ebay(super cheap by the way) and once they arrived I was able to play the games. Yes the sound is off, and they run a little slower on my flat screen (I have to get a crt) but other than that I don't see any major problems. I even have ordered 4 original Genesis carts and all of them run perfectly fine. Since I got it for free, sure I am biased. However, with original controllers, I have not had major problems, even with original carts. Maybe I am lucky.
I had to watch this again so I could laugh at "saggy" sonic. His depressed frown turns my frown upside down.
2:19 I tooted.
Regarding the sound problems, it is possible as there is only one audio output they they somehow BADLY merged both of them together and it's creating the corrupt music.
*i ToOtEd.* lol
Nope, I bought my version in 2018 which had both audio jacks. Still sounds horrible.
I personally think that somehow, they songs are playing in minor key. How you screw that up is anyone's guess.
