|

The action chair is a rare item. Connected to a Genesis/Megadrive, it acts as a controller! When you lean backward/forward it tells the Genesis to go down/up and when you lean left/right it tells to go left/right. Two handles on each side offer two buttons each, resulting in 4 buttons : START, SELECT, A & B.
|
||||
|
||||
The Action Chair is basically a chair mounted on a controller. It is thus possible to play all games with it, though it is more convenient to play games like After Burner II, Space Harrier II, Super Thunder Blade, Hang on, Road Rash, Super Monaco GP, etc.

The joystick port uses a multiplexing technique based on the 74HC157 chip (high-speed cmos quad 2-line to 1-line multiplexer) built-in the controller. There are 2 inputs for each 4 outputs of the chip. The console can determine which function is read by setting the *select* signal to 0v (logic low) or +5v (logic high).
|
||||
|
||||
**Fun fact :** Atari 2600 joysticks could be used in the Genesis joystick ports. The button of the Atari joystick was the "B" button on a Sega Genesis, and the direction buttons are fully functional.

The Genesis 2 is basically just a redesigned [Genesis](/museum/sega-genesis/).
|
||||
|
||||
The Genesis 2 was much smaller and squarer then the original Genesis. It did not have the headphone jack, volume control or RF TV output. The A/V port changed to a custom multi out port that now provided stereo sound to T.V's (previously only mono was output by the Genesis, the headphone jack had to be used for stereo sound). The power lead port was made smaller and a different AC adapter was used. Finaly the power switch was changed to a push button.
|
||||
|
||||
Both the original Genesis and the Genesis 2 could be connected to the Sega CD and 32X add-ons. The Sega CD was even remodeled to better fit the Genesis 2. A specific version of the Power Base Converter was also designed.
|
||||
|
||||
The life of the Genesis 2 came to an end in 1996. Sega was focusing on improving sales of the [Saturn](/museum/sega-saturn/) and they were also working on the [Dreamcast](/museum/sega-dreamcast/) which was set to be released in 1998.
|
||||
|
||||
An even smaller [Genesis 3](/museum/sega-genesis-3/) was released by Majesco in 1998.
