I am having a problem with my SEGA Genesis.

I purchased the power base converter so I could play my SEGA Master system
game cartridges. After installing the converter and trying to play a SMS
game, all I got across the screen were heavy black and white lines with
a shadow of a game in the background.

I figured there was a problem with the converter, so I uninstalled it and
try to play one of my 16-bit Genesis games. Now I have the same heavy black
and white lines appearing as well.

If anybody out there has purchased a converter for there Genesis and has had
the same problem, I would like to know what it is and how you fixed it.
I am hoping it is something simple so I don't have to send the system back
to SEGA.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

Greg

Over the course of my lifetime I have played many a role-playing-game.
When Phantasy Star first came out I was blown away by the graphics and
complexity for an 8 bit system. I just got Phantasy Star II the other
day and I have been blown away into another time zone.

Get this game, get this game NOW!!! Not only is it the best game to come
out for the Genesis so far, but IMO one of the best RPG games to come
out EVER. True it costs almost $100 but considering the size of this
game it should take you several hundred hours to solve. And now more
about the game...

With the cartage comes a nice full color map with a complete listing of
every single weapon, spell, armor, etc... listed with how much damage it
does and who can use it, a 48 page instruction book (which actually
isn't all that bad, as opposed to some of their past instruction books),
and last but not least, a 114 page full color, bounded hint booklet.
This hint booklet is not only beautiful looking and laid out, but is
extremely well written as well. However, what really makes this game is
the game itself.

First of all is the music. It is absolutely amazing and if your Genesis
is hooked up to a stero system, then just sit back and enjoy the tunes.
When the numerious menus appear on screen they smoothly scroll on and
off. They are also nicely laid out so when you have 5 or 6 menus on the
screen at once you can mostly see them all. The combat fun to watch
(however a little slow) and the pictures of the monsters make full use
of the Genesis's 16 bit power. Probably the most impressive item in this
game is the graphics.

The view-from-above shots are nicely done, but it's the pictures of the
shop owners, other characters, and mosnters which give this game it's
power. Someone must have stayed up many a late night to produce such
mind numing graphics. I can't wait to bring my Genesis home over Spring
Break and hook it up to my 42 inch screen TV.

If you like RPG games at all then buy this game. If you love RPG games
the way I do, then get some cash together, go hop into a car, and drive
to your local toy store and buy this game!!! It is truely a feast for
the senses.
