Was finally able to order these cables normally and without being ripped off on eBay (thanks CastleMania Games!) ![IMG_1837](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/retrogameboards/original/2X/8/830e0bc47952f014055793d870f3b7747aaf9548.jpeg) First impressions are good! ![IMG_1839](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/retrogameboards/original/2X/f/fbaa485ec99ab53db76b171b44c4f2261734389a.jpeg) Now to dive into the library of games I completely skipped growing up. ---

The cables were available for preorder a couple months ago for a short window of time that went out to people on their waiting list. I was traveling for work at the time and didn’t think to post something here. Sorry ☹ @Peltz yeah, I was 100% Nintendo as a kid, switched to Sony consoles with the PSX and only dabbled with Sega after the DC went on sale for $99. I definitely missed out, but then again, this was all at a time when having multiple consoles was a luxury most families could not afford. ---

Might be good to add that this will be on a “high definition graphics” Genesis that I got for free at a garage sale this summer. The owner claimed it didn’t work. 😄 Being spoiled by my SNES cables, I decided to wait before playing too much. ---

Your certainly jumping in with a bang! Talking about 6 button controllers, before I finally got a proper pad I had this one. ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/retrogameboards/original/2X/c/ce48e75500c1d7aa688a93b802098693cdaaa17c.jpeg) Doesn’t hold a candle to the original 6-button pad, but since it was my lone 6-button pad at the time, I had no problems with it…except for that start button that felt like it could get stuck when pressed, but didn’t. It was cool mapping button combos to the left and right triggers though. ---

I never even had a 6 button genesis pad. I played Street Fighter II Championship Edition by switching between punches and kicks with the start button back in the day. It’s probably why I’m so terrible at traditional 2D fighting games today (yep I’m blaming the controller 😉) ---

I’d like to see some Pro Tour-offshoot tourneys using the Genesis version of CE and exclusively 3-button pads, lol. ---

Been reading up about this over the past 24 hours. Fascinating stuff! The guy doing the Genesis port says that it’s really good, so it could be that it just wasn’t good enough to carry the Sonic name? I guess we’ll never know. Cool that it will be playable, though! ---

It is a good puzzle game but it really has no reason to have Sonic in it. Like if you watch some gameplay of it its just colored blocks effectively. Like if say Tetris had Mario heads as all the individual blocks that when you touched them down they turned into just the normal blocks. Now I don’t know anything about why it wasn’t released but even with what I just said I don’t think it “not being worth the Sonic name” would have been a good cause. ---
