More details

Popular titles like Sonic the Hedgehog, Castlevania: Bloodlines, Mortal Kombat, and Streets of Rage 2 are listed too.

What condition do my Sega Genesis games need to be in?

More details
  • We test every cartridge to make sure it loads and plays before we pay for it.
  • We don't buy reproduction or counterfeit cartridges. Every Genesis game is checked to confirm it's an original.
  • We only buy NTSC US Genesis games, not Mega Drive imports.
