The thing about those is, the SNES just powers the cart which has all the guts needed to play a Genesis game.
You can use the SNES pad that's plugged in, but the video cable goes into the RetroGen cart.
The Genesis playback also isn't as reliable as the original consoles.

Don't get why this ad was so hated when Sega's ads were equally as arrogant.
>>
I love comic books, and my mom would always pick up a bunch of old comics for me at the secondhand bookstore really cheap. And by "old" I mean "a few years old", 1988-1993, and there were tons of ads for games.

I remember one in particular, for some Castlevania game. It had graves for Simon and Trevor Belmont, and a third one dug for Richter. I thought it was really cool, atmospheric, made me want the game. But I had Genesis and never played a non-handheld Castlevania; can anyone tell me what game that would be, or even find the ad?

Don't blame SEGA for the state of the industry today. They fought against it. Look at the Dreamcast; cool, original, arcade titles that nobody wanted because they were waiting for "realistic" PS2 graphics.

I have some old comic scans that include ads (I know most people prefer noads but I think it kind of adds to the experience of reading an old comic), I can dig those up and post them if you want. I'm talking old early 80s, ads for Colecovision games.

Yeah but it will probably end up like Doom and get taken off it pretty soon.

Anyway, anyone got the ads for the RPG Nox?
They were some of the most offensive ones I've ever seen and IIRC even caused a small shitstorm.
One of them was a guy with a bag of popcorn and a cup of soda standing in the background of a complicated and extremely dangerous heart surgery, while grining like an idiot and the second one was the same guy doing the same shit during a funeral.
