  • It’s a Genesis 1 with a 32X with Sonic & Knuckles in the cartridge slot. That game had a flip-top with a cartridge slot under it so other games (specifically Sonic 3) could be plugged into it for additional functionality. The Genesis 1 also had a connector on the side which was used to connect to the Sega CD unit (notably missing from this picture). It’s a 30-pin connector so it fits into the 32-pin cartridge slot. And then plugged into the top Genesis is a copy of Bubsy, one of the worst games released for the system.

    As to whether it “works”, at best you would get Sonic & Knuckles booting as long as the Genesis plugged into it doesn’t connect to or short any pins in the cartridge’s slot.








  • It’s been quite a while since I played so I don’t remember all the details, but toward the end of the game there’s some kind of emergency mission, maybe the base gets invaded. There is a small airlock-type room in the base you have to pass through to get to the start of the mission, when I went through it this time the “exit” door wouldn’t open, and even though the “entrance” looked open I couldn’t go through it. I tried reloading, loading older saves, etc. but nothing I did would get the game back on track. My only option would be to start over and I didn’t really want to do that. So I moved on.
