Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)DO NOT BE DECEIVED!This item is falsely advertised, plain and simple.Do not buy this item if you intend to use it for the Genesis 2.It claims to fit "all 3 models of the Sega Genesis", but this is a mistake or perhaps an out and out lie.This converter does NOT work for the Genesis 2.It is designed for the Genesis 1.I can not say for sure whether it works for the Genesis 3 or not.Technically, the hardware IS compatible with the Genesis 2, but the design makes it impossible to fit over the Genesis 2 system, since the piece of plastic on the back of the converter gets in the way, so unless you want to take a chainsaw to the back piece of plastic and ruin the item, then it absolutely can not be used on the Genesis 2.
I give this a 5-star review here because the item itself is wonderful -- the problem is with the false advertisement, not the item itself.If you have a Genesis 1 and want to play Master System games then this is a great item, and I highly recommend it, but do not buy it for the Genesis 2.If you have a Genesis 3, then do your research and find out if it works for that, because I don't know.
If you do want to play Master System games on the Genesis 2, then there is a Power Base Converter 2 that was released outside of North America and was designed to fit the Genesis 2 since this one was not; however, it is very expensive (I've never seen it for under $75, and up to $200), and it's not easy to find (they don't have it on Amazon at the current time).If you want to play master system games, I recommend either buying a Sega Master System, or buying a Genesis 1 along with this Power Base Converter.The Genesis 1/converter combo is preferable to the original Master System console since the picture quality is better from what I have read, however there are a few games that the Power Base Converter can not play (I think it's only like 5 games or something), so if you want to play one of those games, then you may want to consider a Master System console, otherwise the Genesis 1/Power Base Converter combo is probably the better choice, or you can look for the Power Base Converter 2 for the Genesis 2, but like I said, it's generally more expensive then both the other two would be combined.
I hope this review was helpful.It is a shame that people feel they need to falsely advertise items to sell them, but then again, it's always possible that it was a genuine error.In either case, be forewarned -- this item will NOT work on the Genesis 2.
