In the mid 1990s after SEGA had released the Genesis Model 2, I was in the mall playing it on display.  The Genesis had a really cool accessory plugged into it:  It was a black cartridge that went in the game slot, from the blank cartridge was a cord that went to a small "power base" about the size of a Sega CDX.  That "power base" has 5 cartridge slots on it and a button that would allow you to literally switch between 5 different games, thus making it unnecessary to keep swaping cartridges.  Can anyone name this accessory?  I really want it!  I have searched ebay under terms like "game switcher" and no results.  Any help would be appreciated.  If memory server me correct, this device has the official SEGA logo on it.

It's most definitely worth a visit (or 10).  Check it out if you get a chance.
