Review: Worth every penny, and then some! - So, I've recently been feeling nostalgic for the days of video gaming past. When games were, by today's technical standards anyway, simple but no less enjoyable. The Sega Genesis, in the late 80s/early-mid 90s, was a shining example of that and I wanted to get back into it. At first I thought of going with a Retron unit, but I've had bad luck with those in the past and decided against it. I then went ahead and ordered some original Genesis hardware from a site called DKOldies.com. Great prices and all but the system I ordered (Genesis 3) arrived heavily scratched, missing one of the covers on the cartridge slot, and the piece of crap controller they included stopped working after less than an hour of gameplay. No joke. Fortunately, the company made the return process very simple. Perusing desertcart for something comparable, I stumbled upon the Minigen. I was hesitant to give it a try because I'd never heard of Gamerz Tek before, and I figured it'd be a piece of crap like the Retrons I've had. But for $30 including two six-button controllers, it was worth a shot. Well, color me surprised, because this is easily the best clone system I've ever used. I wasn't expecting much at all, but my expectations were surpassed. The controllers are very well-made and responsive. Better than anything a Retron or AtGames system includes, for sure. I'd price the controllers alone at about $20 for the pair. They aren't quite as heavy as the original Genesis units, but they're more than sufficient. The name "Minigen?" Fits perfectly. This thing is actually smaller than the Genesis 3. It fits comfortably atop my Sony Blu-ray player with room to spare. See the included photo for reference. Above all else, the gameplay is smooth and flawless. Sure, it's not HDMI output, but for $30 that shouldn't be expected. The standard AV cable does the job just fine for games that are 20+ years old. It's my understanding that the system won't play Genesis games with certain "special" chips, i.e. Virtua Racing and Gargoyles, but I don't recall there even being too many titles like that anyway. You can always get an original Genesis 1 or 2 on the cheap if you really want to play those. I've tried the Minigen with each of the following games and they have all worked perfectly: Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2, Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 3, Streets of Rage, Maximum Carnage, Street Fighter II Special Champion Edition, Columns, Golden Axe, Revenge of Shinobi, Super Hang-On, Road Rash II, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, X-Men, and Disney's World of Illusion. Flawless, all of them. My only criticism: the grip on the cartridges in the slot is *very* tight. Like, visegrips-tight. The trick to getting a game out is to pull up from the left or right side of the cartridge, as opposed to straight up from the middle. But aside from that lone flaw, this was $30 well spent and I can't recommend it enough. Well-done, Gamerz Tek. ## Features - Play all your favorite Sega Genesis & MegaDrive games again ( NO GAMES INCLUDED ). - Comes with two controllers, audio video cable & ac adapter. - Must clean your games with rubbing alcohol and cotton swab or system will not work. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0735Z2941 | | Best Sellers Rank | #32,589 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #32 in Sega Genesis Consoles | | Brand Name | Gamerz Tek | | Color | Black | | Connectivity Technology | A/V | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (485) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00653341429728 | | Input Device | Gamepad | | Manufacturer | Gamerz Tek | | Model Name | Minigen | | Model Number | Minigen | | Platform | Sega Genesis | | Resolution | 4K | | UPC | 653341429728 | ## Images ![Minigen Video Entertainment System - Compatible with Sega Genesis & Mega Drive Games - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81d78gQlDhL.jpg) ![Minigen Video Entertainment System - Compatible with Sega Genesis & Mega Drive Games - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Aq5YxBewL.jpg) ![Minigen Video Entertainment System - Compatible with Sega Genesis & Mega Drive Games - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812w-OAo35L.jpg) ![Minigen Video Entertainment System - Compatible with Sega Genesis & Mega Drive Games - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81JfG-zHKJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ nice alternative to the original *by P***1 on February 22, 2026* works great.brings back the old days. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth every penny, and then some! *by N***Y on January 27, 2018* So, I've recently been feeling nostalgic for the days of video gaming past.

Taking the game cart. in and out of the machine is a chore. It is super hard to get set into place and even worse to pull it back out. WAY TOO TIGHT. I worry it will damage my games after much use. They need to fix that. Pros: - Plays all old classic Sega Genesis games. :D - Super cheap! $ - 3 words...One Year Warrantee. :) Cons: - Way too tight of game slot in console for games. :( - Some game lag (if playing on a flat-screen tv) - Awful sound quality. (but that's to be expected considering how old these games are compared to a newer tv. Suggest adjusting tv audio before playing) Conclusion: it's worth buying. But with the way the slot is and how hard it is on my games - I don't expect this thing to last very long. ## Frequently Bought Together - Minigen Video Entertainment System - Compatible with Sega Genesis & Mega Drive Games - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Renewed) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/44313044-minigen-video-entertainment-system-compatible-with-sega-genesis-and-mega](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/44313044-minigen-video-entertainment-system-compatible-with-sega-genesis-and-mega) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
