Classic Game Room reviews the RetroGen Genesis/SNES adapter that allows you to play Sega Genesis and Mega Drive games on a Super Nintendo!

Use that adapter with the master system adapter for genesis on the snes

I heard him say "It's time to say goodbye" and I was like "Oh crap he's quitting CGR"
Then he said "I'm about to destroy the world with the RetroGen" and I was like "Oh thank God"

Imagine having this in the late 80s would have blown my mind

[Mr.Everything]

I'm surprised how chemically stable Truxton was on the SNES! I thought we were going to have a repeat of the Dreamcast VMU incident of 2011.

This might just rip a hole in the space time continuum...

[RetrOrigin]

The RetroGen is an entire Sega Genesis clone inside an SNES cart.
Technically is not really an adapter and the SNES is not "playing" the games. It's only providing power and controller input.

im so glad i held on to MUSHA. had it since the 90s.

The way your voice sounds in the R Zone reminds me of vilains from 90's cartoons

[Beunibster]

Already had a beer in hand!

PS. Your voice is awesome.

I have seen most all of your videos Mark, but I am sick this Saturday and am gonna watch them all day.

[GamingHistorySource]

SO I'm guessing that the processing is done on the cart itself since the SNES's processor is half that of the genesis.

When I saw the R-zone segment my immediate thought was "oh how I miss Derek"

[TheRealDustinNunn]

I have an idea: how about plugging the Sonic 3 cartridge into the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge therefore creating Sonic 3 & Knuckles and then plug Sonic 3 & Knuckles into the Retrogen Genesis/Super NES adapter? That way you can play Sonic 3 & Knuckles on the Super NES! Not a bad idea, yeah?

5:16 - that intro on TF2 always makes me laugh

I have actually, when I was 4 or 5 i called in and asked for a Super Mario Kart. They told me to ask my parents, so I did, and got Mario Kart for Christmas that year.

[fanfaretloudest]

The special effects to your vid blew my mind!

In all seriousness, great video Lord Karnage. I like how you cracked up and broke character at the end. Good job and this looks like a fun adapter! If I had a working SNES I'd probably look out for this product, oh well.

[jtzor]

This is how he went doing what he loved retiring by playing TRUXTON on SNES for the good of the people. Now you could just do this on a Retropie, but Lord Karnage and Retrobit were pioneers next to Wii's Virtual Console.

[feiwong]

Awesome reviews there!!
Cheers from a fan from Spain!

[KWKBOX]

Where is the demand coming from for this to exist? Can I get an adaptor to play my ColecoVision games on my NES too?

now im waiting for retroSNES for sega mega drive
