in gamer slang a genesis is a genny, just as a NES is a toaster, so my plural would be gennies

moving along...

i concur with the other new englanders that gennys are the most common console to be found here, with toasters running a strong second and N64s third. what is it about genesis? i think it was the first all ages console and thus was in the most household types. you didnt need a kid around to own a genny so lots of non-breeder types have them to donate. the NES, and to some extent the SNES were seen as kiddy systems but the genny with its endless sports offerings appealed to the college kid, the single male, the football husband and so on. you can see this trend of older players by the type of games that are often found with the thrift store genny, a couple of madden or NHL games, the pack in sonic and if you're lucky a mortal kombat type game, and thats it! seems to me that genesis had lots of these casual gamer fans, its pretty unusual to find a genny with a large amount of non-sports games. so thats my genny theory, expect to see something similar with used Playstations in the next few years.
