Connecting the controllers from a Sega Mega Drive or Genesis to your C64 is normally a recipe for damaging your precious breadbin. That's where a device like Backbit's GenAssister can help out - not only does it allow you to safely use your Mega Drive pads on your Commodore 64, but you get some very nifty bonuses to boot, as we'll see in this Beyond The Scanlines Extra!

Many thanks to Evie over at Backbit for sending this over for review!

Gameplay footage recorded from a C64 Reloaded Mk 2 (via S-Video), fed through an XRGB Mini - watch at 1080p50 for the absolute best quality!
