- I think you are over reacting a bit here. IMHO the best Sega Genesis game of
- all time was released this past Fall/October, NHLPA Hockey. Anyways Sega
- always has good games out, it is just that they glut the market during X-mas
- time and people expect the same amount of production all year long and that
- is unreasonable. I for one have been very happy with the Genesis.
