The traditional silver lined black box is still here with Genesis appearing at the top. The bottom of the box finally breaks this trend by just displaying the red striped background pattern. Moving to the top of the box we can see the same Genesis logo and picture, only this time we also have the shelf hook to keep it company, just like on the original controller boxes. Moving on to the sides of the box we have the Genesis logo, once again displayed in foil, with a smaller glossy image of the controller. Shifting our focus to the top right of the box, we can see the old Sega Seal of Quality in all its original glory! Moving down to the bottom right of the controller we have the Retro-Bit logo, signaling that this is indeed a third party controller and we haven’t time-traveled back to 1995. The color scheme of the controller is displayed here as well. ![]() If you opted to get the USB version, here is where you would be informed that it is for use with PC, Mac and Steam.

Now that isn’t to say they are a 1:1 reproduction of the original boxes, because they aren’t, but it’s close enough any die-hard Sega fan is sure to swoon a bit upon getting theirs! The controller on the front immediately seizes the eye's attention and it is delightfully glossy. I just gotta say this now, the box that the Genesis controller comes in gives me a wonderful dose of nostalgia! Everything about it is spot on to the originals my friends would get for Christmas. ![]()
