Manufacturer description
SEGA Genesis Model 2 Console MK-1631 with Controller, AV, Power Cleaned-Untested. Sega Genesis is in good condition. Showing some minimal wear for its age, and from use through out the years. There are some cords showing on the Genesis controller, but the cords aren’t showing any copper or wires. Can easily be taped up with some electrical wire. Includes one controller, the power cord and the RF unit. Unfortunately we have not tested this console, as we don’t have any games for it. This item is guaranteed to be a great working item. Check out our pictures for more details!

SpecPicks scored SEGA Genesis Model 2 Console MK-1631 with Controller using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro consoles category. Sega's retro consoles lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.
