Actually I had a SEGA genesis. After six months the power cord broke. We went to the store to try and buy a new one no dice. So we called Sega, and asked them about getting a replacement. This was the reply we got buy a new genesis. Apparently the cords had a tendency of falling apart and setting fire to houses. So Sega had stopped manufacturing. Understandable I suppose, but the kicker was that the new power cords would not fit the old consoles which we bought. They had never bothered to engineer a replacement for the older consoles. So the answer we got was buy an entirely new system.

Obviously that was the last time we bought a Sega console. Not only had the hardware been dangerous, but they couldn't be bothered to rectify the problem. Needless to say we were all shocked by this attitude. We eventually resolved the problem on our own. We futzed a power drill power cord to do the job. Ironically it was the incorrect voltage but still worked. Was that good or bad I am not sure.

Yes some people have a legitimate gripe with Sega. Till this day I am not sure whether the operator was utterly incompetent, or whether Sega actually decided that this was a good idea. Regardless I have never had a issue with customer care with other console manufacturers.

Just thought it was worth sharing.

the game came out about the same time as he was born, what do you expect?  People that young don't know how good Sega was before last gen, particularly with the genesis.

Golden Axe is awesome

Sorry guys for Soriku he just need some love of me, I spend to much time on this forums and so less time with him.....X_X.

Soriku you really need the old consoles or emulators and try some of the genesis games.

When I had a Genesis I like Golden Axe a lot they were awesome with the magic.

I don't know if I have to believe this news + or that I still love Golden Axe.

@Soriku:

How can you say that "all" of their games suck? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. You may not be a fan of theirs, but a statement like that almost discounts you as any kind of fan of video games.

Well you had little no credibility around here. At least before that post. Whatever credibility you had if there was any left to begin with just went out the window. Before they left the hardware market, Sega was arguably the best video game developer in the world and they were the most versatile developer in the world period. Sega could make a AAA title in any genre. Whether it be platforming, fighting, RPG, sports, etc. For you to say that all of their game sucked shows that you have no taste in games. Eventhough Sega's quality has taken a serious hit in the past few years AM2 is still a AAA caliber developer.

 Clearly someone who's never played the Dreamcast. Rarely has any one developer released so many quality games in so many different genres than SEGA prior to exiting the hardware market.

Seriously, name any console you can think of and I'll bet that the Dreamcast had a higher percentage of games rated in the 90% range. And this was from a console that lacked third party support.

 Translation: SEGA used to be good, extremely good.

 marry me :)

Sweet. Golden Axe rocked back in the day.

"The Dreamcast has the best ratio of good to bad games ever."

"Is it the one console, to rule them all?" *getssmackedaround* "Ow! Ow! Ow!"
