My Sega Genesis

randyjohnson71

My parents gave me some money for Christmas and I bought a Sega Genesis thirty years ago tonight. I bought it on October 3, 1991 at KB Toys. It was an early Christmas present.

Early in 1991, I thought that the original NES was excellent. But when I saw my friend playing his Genesis, I was amazed because it was better than the NES.

I had decided to get the Genesis but when I heard about the SNES, I was strongly thinking about getting it instead. But I soon learned that the SNES cost $199. I didn't have enough money so I got the Genesis. The Genesis only cost $149.

My Genesis included "Sonic The Hedgehog" for free. I liked Sonic The Hedgehog because I was very good at playing it. I could beat it and I beat it several times.

When I got my Genesis, I was only twenty years old. Now I'm fifty. Time sure does fly. Thirty years ago tonight I was a very happy man because I bought a Sega Genesis.

    I could relate with your write, on so many levels
    like: that sense of lost time
    those cherished memories, we strive
    to keep from fading,
    and all our personal accomplishments and milestones, that seemed
    so monumental in their own 'moment' of life, but now
    by the gradual distance of our years, removed
    seem a little less, noteworthy
    but are still very much, a part of ourselves we celebrate, the most...
    (thank you for sharing, something so relatable and engaging
    a wonderful read)
