Our older brother actually got me and Brian a Sega Genesis version of that like five years ago for Christmas. Classic gift you get when the person you're buying for doesn't need anything. Anyway here's what was cool about it: the pads were very much Genesis pads, and it boasted like 120 games and about 20 of them were for real Genesis games of varying quality. The older brother and I spent that Christmas Eve morning running some golden axe and what have you and had a great time.

Here's the bad stuff: the pads were wireless via infrared. You had to have them pointing at the console or it wouldn't work. I got my ass handed to me by random thugs in Streets of Rage 2 (still holds up btw) because I couldn't move until we realized that the button inputs were shooting out lasers. It was truly terrible. Besides that, there's a basic problem that for as cool as Sega was back then, there's only probably 15 or so games that are still worth playing at all and most will bore you pretty quickly. But besides personal preference, the thing was LOADED with fake games. 2600 looking ass garbage called Tennis or Helicopter or whatever. So they juiced the number on the box by including a ton of games that weren't even Sega games. It was so stupid and they were so bad.
