How to Connect a Sega Genesis to a TV

The Sega Genesis is a video game console that was released in the late 1980s to compete directly with the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The Sega Genesis sported 16-bit graphics and a game library that included classics like the original "Sonic the Hedgehog." If you are itching to play some retro games on your Sega Genesis, hooking it up to a modern TV is a simple process.
