Genesis model of choice
|
|
|
| Which do you use, and why? I pesonally use a Genesis model 1, the one
without the "High Resolution Graphics" business. I've used just about
every Genesis model and find that it has the best image quality -- no
banding, and no sharp, jagged edges like the Genesis 3 or late model
Genesis 2. Also, aesthetically, it appeals to me the most (looks the
coolest).

Was the model with "HIGH RESOLUTION GRAPHICS" 1st or 2nd generation?

How can I tell if my Genesis 1 is 1st, 2nd, or 3rd generation? Do they
have different model numbers?

Er, so 1st and 2nd generation model 1's are the best, and 3rd and
fourth have jaggy graphics and crappy sound? I'm confused at this
point as to the differences between the model 1 machines. I thought
there were only two versions of the model 1: the one that reads "HIGH
RESOLUTION GRAPHICS" and the one that doesn't. So there are a total of
4 different model 1's?
I have two model 1's and would like to be able to distinguish which is
which. Neither have the high resolution graphics text.

I don't know that I've ever even seen a pic of the caseless PBC...I'm guessing
it'd look pretty close the Game Genie, or something, in appearence?
