SEGA!

We were at Bed, Bath and Beyond today to buy a new coffee maker (our fifth in the last three years -- yeah, we drink a lot of coffee! Or we have really bad luck with machines...or both...), and I found a reissued Sega Genesis with wireless controllers and 80 (!) games loaded on the console (details here). For under forty bucks, I couldn't pass it up. The games on this console are about what you'd expect from '90s side-scrollers, but I have to admit a certain nostalgia factor: I have fond memories of playing Genesis after school with Jason and Scott during our teenage years. My boys and I have sampled only a small percentage of the 80 titles, but I'm very much looking forward to playing through the acclaimed Golden Axe trilogy, a D&D-style fantasy game.
