Minnesota Fats - Sega Genesis

Minnesota Fats is a surprisingly deep fighter for the Genesis—the parry system adds a nice layer of strategy beyond just mashing buttons. The cartridge arrived clean with the label intact and it booted up on the first try, exactly what I wanted for a retro pickup.

Cartridge is in solid shape for a loose copy—label's clean and it fits snug in the console. The fighting mechanics feel surprisingly tight for an older Genesis title, and it loaded up first try without any stutter.

Boots right up with no flicker or hang on the title screen, and the cartridge slot fit is snug without being tight. The two-player versus mode is exactly the kind of chaotic fun I remember from the 16-bit days, and the label is still fully intact with only minor edge wear.
