Have any recommendations or caveats to look out for with the all-in-one SegaCD/Genesis units like the X'Eye, Wondermega, and CDX? I'm leaning towards getting one of those. Cool, great info!

This information might be helpful: You can connect a model 1 Genesis to a model 2 Sega CD or vice-versa. The only problem is aesthetic. Since the base of the Genesis 1 is wider than the Genesis 2, mixing models looks somewhat ugly and unbalanced. The Sega CD 2 is less prone to failure than the original model, so I recommend picking up that model along with a model 2 Genesis. Make sure when you buy your new hardware that you get the 9-pin mini-DIN connectors that came with them. They can be hard to find, but if you're missing one, you can use the one that came with your Majesco model 3 Genesis. A/V Connectors from a Model 1 Sega Genesis won't work with a Model 2 Genesis. Email me if I can help you with anything. samsonlonghair@gmail.com I’m a little bit of an enthusiast for Genesis hardware.

You don't need the light gun though. About 95% of the game is a graphic adventure. The other 5% is when you shoot crap. Much of that takes place in the final 10 minutes of the game. The shooting sections are few and far between and pretty short too. They really don't warrant the purchase of a light gun.

You're right, you'll buy more games, why limit yourself to the 115 you already own (and plan to review)? I think as you'll find out (and surely this Snatcher thing is an example of discovery already on your part) that as the weeks and months go on, you find more things you'd like to cover/speak on for your site. A great site is all about progress and yours seems to be heading in the right direction. I love little "side-trips/stories" like this article. It's the kind of thing that helps establish a voice and website owner persona visitors can relate to moreso than the common anonymous web-man. Keep up the good work. Nice piece.
