It seems like just about every game I have to take it out my genesis two, take it out put it back and for several minutes before I get the game working. But i wonder, is it the games? or is it about time I buy a new genesis? Like the genesis 3?

clean the pins or at least use a dry rag to scrub the dirt off both cartridge and console

if it still has that problem then its a cartridge or system but if it plays then its a cartridge problem.

i have super mario world and inside the cartridge its support is broken so i have to do alot to make it play

Yes, you need a new beggining with the lord jesus christ (ok joking). You know, the sega genesis is the most biblical console ever, a much blessed console that could even compare to superior hardware in its own way. funny that it was called the genesis in america, because that is where most of christianity is/was back when the console was around.

Take a q-tip and rubbing alcohol. Clean all the contacts on the games and clean the contacts on the console. If it still doesn't work, get a new system.

Definitely seems like dirt on the console pins. Use rubbing alcohol and 3M Compressed Air.

Actually, the floor wouldn't be cold at all if the Genesis+Sega CD+32X' three power adaptors didn't drain all the electricity he could use to power an electric stove.

He can always throw SFC into the fireplace to keep the heat going. Sure there are other uses for it like paperweight and door stop, but then again I can think of more stylish things to use.

I used to be afraid of using Genesis consoles as fire wood, because I feared setting the Blast Processing on fire would cause a reaction and make my house explode. Lately, though, I discovered Blast Processing is nothing but commercial jibberish, so I went and bought a crate of Sega hardware from a local flea market for $3 and had a warm, warm winter.

LOL.

That's just dumb fanboy ignorance. Although the Black Knight's post was useless as well.

Hold on, we are joking, both me and him. No trolling involved.
