Usually $ 80, the much-noticed Sega Genesis Mini is back for $ 40.

If you have good memories of playing Sega Genesis games – and I think everyone who owns the console definitely does – your nostalgia ship has arrived: Amazon has back for a limited time and while supplies last the Sega Genesis Mini retro console for $ 40. It sold out quickly last time – I suspect this could happen again as it is $ 10 less than I thought a lot a few days ago.
The Genesis Mini is a standalone system that connects to your TV. It comes with two wired controllers and 42 built-in games. And after all, it’s fantastic.
Unlike the popular Sony PlayStation Classic retro console, the Genesis Mini has received great reviews – including that from Scott Stein Sega Genesis Mini review here on CNET. He thought the port quality was excellent and loved recording some classic games that weren’t available elsewhere before.
In the meantime, over 2,400 Amazon buyers have rated the system with 4.7 stars. If you know a dad who loves retro games, this would probably be a great gift.
