As we get into return outs, we're still processing blasts.

Everyone is Jeremy Parrish again for RetroNots

and we're talking about Mega Drive, Sega Genesis again.

We've already heard the episode where a bunch of people who didn't own a Genesis

got together and said, this was a good and important system with some okay games that we like.

But I thought, you know, wouldn't it be great if we had an expert opinion?

And so as an expert opinion, someone who knows a lot about Genesis,

who goes under the alias Sega 16 on the internet, you don't get much more Sega Genesis than that.

We have Ken Horowitz.

All right, Ken, thank you for taking time out of your long trip to Portland

to come and talk about the Sega Genesis.

Oh, thank you for having me. I'm happy to be here.

So tell me a little bit about your history with the system.

I mean, everyone knows the RetroNots shame that we didn't own Sega Systems as kids.

Yeah, I got into Sega much later.

But I'm assuming that you're someone who has been much more enthusiastic about Sega throughout

his life.

Well, yeah, actually, I've been a Sega fan since the arcade days.

And you could always tell a Sega arcade game from the rest of the games in the arcade.

Because they kicked ass?

Yeah, they always seem to be, I don't know, maybe it could be bias, it could be just, you know,

rose colored glasses, whatever.
