This short article is in need of work. You can help Sega Retro by adding to it.
The Genesis 3 console is a bargain-basement model of the Sega Genesis that was made under license by Majesco in 1998. It is often derisively called "the hockey puck" due to its rather squat appearance and limited capabilities (as compared to earlier models). The Genesis 3 lacks the expansion port of its predecessors; hence, the Sega CD is incompatible with it.
Most Sega games work with the Genesis 3. The few things that do not work involve hardware attachments like the 32X and the Master System Converter and specific games that require anything extra out of the Genesis such as Virtua Racing.
However, it has been shown that with minimal modification, a Model 3 can use a 32X, Virtua Racing, and the Master System Converter.
