Genesis A-Z Project - Hardware

Project History:

2020(?) Version: I got the idea for this several years ago. I don't remember where I saw it... possibly reddit... but someone was doing the same thing maybe for a different console. I think he was also trying to beat every game that he played. I thought it was a cool idea and gave it a try myself. I got played throuh Alladin, Bonanza Bros., Comix Zone, Decap Attack, and started Earthworm Jim, and that's where I fell off. The thing about all of those games is that they're games I'd have considered to be in my regular rotation, and I had beaten them all either recently or as a kid. I also didn't have any plan to write anything about the games I played.

2025 Version: I was just kinda looking for something to do and thouht that it would be fun to try this again, but with some new guidelines.

  • Try to play new games
  • Give the game an actual chance
  • Do a writeup of the game and post it here
  • Try to get through A-Z in 2025
  • Play the games on my actual hardware, not an emulator
So those are the things I'm aiming for at the moment. The only one that's an actual rule is that I want todo the writeup about my experience. I may play some games that I've loaded up once or twice before, or maybe I'll just feel like playing a game that I love and do that instead. The loosest rule will likely be the one about emulators. I want to play the games on my actual Sega, but sometimes it just might be easier to load something up in my emulators.
