      Has it been confirmed that there is not stereo output on that connector?
The Genesis RGB cable uses only 5 of the pins that are in that connector.  I
had been thinking about tearing it apart again to see if I could get stereo out
of there....

My son is 10 years old and has a Sega, same problem
as your's he wanted SF2. I went to BABBAGE and found
a game for Sega called Deadly Moves. He loved it, and
his SNES friends declared it a great SF2 clone. 
Hope this helps.
P.S. There is a ad in EGM this month on page 115 that
shows some screens shots that they say is for the game
Power Moves for the SNES but I could swear they are 
Deadly Moves!

I agree that the store is Not screwed up, but there are several stores
Software Etc for example that have a 48 hour return policy. You take the
game home, play it and don't like it and you can return it for another game.
I for one think this is a great idea. When you are spending from $30 up to
$60 for a game, you should expect to get a quality product. As we all know
this is not always the case.

well, here's a slight twist to this question:  there seems to be consensus
that the cable would be helpful, but here's my situation:

my t.v. has 2 coax (antenna) inputs, one has regular cable and the
other has been free till now.  for sound i'm feeding my stereo amp
directly through the headphone outlets.  i've got the genesis hooked
up into the other coax input now.  will there still be a noticeable
improvement in this case?

Well I am not so sure 10-12 bucks is a waste of money. After all most people
are probably not as "experienced" as you in making cables. For many people
the time it would take to make the cable isn't worth the 6 bucks in savings,
 time isn't cheap! 10 bucks is pocket change, the cable is worth it is you
are experiencing RF noise.

Just my 2 cents, I thought EHB was garbage. I rented it and played it for a
total of about 45 minutes and then took it back it was total trash. The
graphics were not impressive at all and the sound was terrible. The play was
not very good either. It was just not fun.

Bull vs. Lakers or Bulls vs. Blazers are pretty good basketball games.  
There's always John Madden '93 or Tecmo Super Bowl (if it's yet for 
Sega) for football, and NHLPA '93 for hockey.  IMHO, those are the 
best sports games available for Sega.

Right now, I don't see the need for improved handhelds, even though
all current models use "old" technology.  Tons of people are very
happy with the Gameboy and that's the most dated of the bunch.  And
I notice that those cheesy LCD games and game watches are back in
force; I saw lots of kids with them right after Christmas.  The whole
point is to have fun, not to be on the cutting edge.

I think there's a correlation between graphics quality and the number
of "me too" games for a system.  Gameboy graphics are bad enough that
new versions of old games with spiffed up visuals just won't sell.
And Lynx graphics are good, but not such that anyone would want to
just stare at them for their own sake.  The result is that most
generic console games come across as Really Bad on handhelds because
their weak gameplay is very obvious--that's a Good Thing IMO.

There's something to be said for systems with "limited" capabilities.

Greetings, all!

I've read many of the posts about the Genesis, so I thought perhaps
I could solicit the net's comments. My trouble is finding a suitable game
for my Dad's Genesis for Christmas. I was all set to get him Lemmings
(which I love/hate on my Amiga!) but my brother beat me to it. ;^(
My dad doesn't care too much for shoot-em'-ups or arcade-type games.
Sports games would be cool, as well as racing games. (He loves Road Rash)
Could you recommend, for example, the best basketball game? Something
that two people could play? I seen a billiards game recently, the name
of which escapes me at the moment. Do anyone know anything about this? 

Any suggestions would be appreciated. As an Amiga guy, I don't know
too much about the Sega stuff. As X-mas draws nearer my panic level
is increasing...

Many thanks in advance,
Kevin Quinlan
