From Genesis to Sega Exodus

Figure 1 

Sega was one of the biggest gaming companies around and was in direct competition with Nintendo. Its consoles were fantastic and had a fair bit of muscle. But sadly Sega stepped out of the console war after its last console.

One such fan, decided to take it upon him to continue Segas legacy and this has led him to the creation of the Sega Exodus. He started this by ripping a cheaply bought Radica Genesis in which it has a mini circuit board and ROM chip that has a six built in games. By removing several pin-outs, he was able to attach a connecting cartridge just like with the Genesis. He carved out the IC glop-top from inside the Radica controller and used to make the built-in controller for Exodus. The case was designed by Adobe illustrator that has three main parts and its screen is a Casio EV-680.
