Wrong section dude, this should be in the Legacy Platforms.

But anyway, i'm pretty sure what you have there is for the NES, not Genesis.

Wrong board. I've never heard of a game genie for the genesis, only one for the NES. Look it up :P

You might want to try the General Games Discussion board.

The game genie is an enhancement device that allows you to "cheat" in games. I had one for the nes, it allowed me to beat a lot of games that were otherwise impossible because of poor game design. I don't know if the one on the genesis is the same, but on the nes, you insert the cartridge into the game genie and then the game genie into the console. Then it takes you to a cheat code screen. I remember I had a monthly subscription that sent me cheat code catalogs. You can probably find the codes online now at gamefaqs.
