was your first encounter with the SEGA Genesis? Did your parents buy
you one after you discovered it in a local toy store ad? Perhaps you
saved up all that hard-earned money, working the paper route and mowing
lawns, in order to afford one? Or maybe your next-door neighbor was
lucky enough to own one and you always found time to visit.
