About

  • There are several models of the Micro Genius, but the Micro Genius IQ-501 was particularly popular until the official introduction of competitors like Sega and Nintendo in the regions where it was sold.
  • The games came in the form of 60-pin cartridges, identical to those of the Japanese Famicom, which were inserted into a cartridge slot on the top.
  • A standard Micro Genius console package came with two wired controllers (avant-garde for its time) and sometimes a light gun.
