The Genisis Emulator (casually known as Gens) emulates any Genisis games there are, that is, if you want to play that many in the first place.
But what is the Genisis?
The Megadrive, origionally known as "The Genesis" first came out in 1995 (or there abouts), with Sonic the Hedghog, SEGA's answer to Ninty's (Nintendo's) Mario, and was a surprising sleeper hit (or so they say).
Following the success of the SEGA Genesis, they changed the name to the SEGA Megadrive, and set out for world domination for games.
However, Ninty beat them to it, only just like, by producing the Nintendo 64, or N64 for short in 1999 (or thereabouts).
However, the SEGA Megadrive lives on, and it leaves some of the best retro games like Sonic the Hedghog, Streets of Rage and Road Rash. All of which are encapsulated in the Gens emulator with other *hidden* classics.
Enough of the history lessons, now for the reveiw.
Genisis Emulators are great tools for playing the games, which are now in archives around the world, but watch out for the Japenese versions of the game, unless you can read Japenese, fast of course (no offence to anybody who is Japanese who is reading this)
My favourite games on the emulator are Shining force 1+2, Revenge of the Shinobi 2 and any of the Sonic games and have spent a lot of time on the emulator with the games.
A definite must buy (or download) to anybody who like to go retro.
