Our editors have compiled a list of the “Top 5 Strangest (or Coolest) Sega Mods” for your enjoyment. Which ones are your favorites?
5. Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Mini

4. NESPlusSega

3. Saturn Controller on XBox 360

2. Portable Sega CDX
Most of you may not remember the CDX, it combined the Sega Genesis and Sega CD into one console. SegaSonicFan‘s portable CDX sports a 5″ display, JP/US import switch, second headphone jack, S-Video output, external controller switch, and a built-in automatic scan FM radio. It even plays 32X games.
1. Sega Genesis Guitar
