Bump for HiSpec's Genesis repros. This man's work is the best you will find, so I just bought another 4 games; it's like Christmas came early, and for the second time in as many months!

Thanks!  

By the way, I'm running low on copies of Alien Soldier and Mega Man, so if anybody is interested in those, I suggest buying sooner rather than later...

Here's a preview of some of the titles I will be adding hopefully in a month or two:









Plus five or six more!

I think just bought one of your Alien Soliders on Ebay, looked awesome! Wish I had seen it here first lol. I might buy a few others, as well, just need to do some research on them to see if they're up my alley.

What do you guys think of Rent-A-Hero? seems like a real interesting and quirky title

Rent-A-Hero is a cult classic in Japan. When it came out it was a bizarre, quirky title that had "Sega" written all over it, and it was developed by Sega's famous arcade division AM2. To this day it still gets a ton of love in Japan but is mostly unknown elsewhere.

I think it's a great game, but don't have high expectations for the fighting (keep in mind that it came out in 1991, shortly after the release of Street Fighter II). It's definitely worth a try, though.

Hi !

These look really nice. I live in Europe so would like to purchase the ones I like in one order. Do you plan on getting games that are now sold out back in stock ?

Cheers

Yes, but I'm not sure how long it's going to take right now (hopefully not too long). I'll PM you to get details.

I purchased WMIV, Pulseman, Wily Wars and Alien Soldier for my Nomad, all four work great. The manual, case, stickers. etc. look great, a must buy.

Wily Wars does still have the slowdown, so I'm curious how the repro was built.

Thanks!

Wily Wars will always have the slowdown unless you overclock your Genesis - it's just how the game was (poorly) programmed. That said, it's not THAT bad, but on some bosses it can be very noticeable (it actually makes the bosses easier).

As to how I make these: I've been using donors, so the carts operate just as the original games did using all the same chips and parts. Be wary of any Chinese bootlegs which use flash chips as this can damage your Genesis over time.

Any update on cases or new stuff? Thx

If this operation is still up and running I would love to buy some quality Genesis repros.

Hasn't logged in since Dec 2018 and ops website seems to be inactive as well around the same time, so my guess would be no.
