Personally I think megadrive games play great with joysticks. Funnily enough the one I have from 1989 isn't that different from yours save for the lcd :)

I find it's a great way to get the kids interested in retro games, they always want to play it just because it's an arcade machine instead of an old console ;D

I took the cab to work with me yesterday (being this size it fits nicely in the back of the car), and as expected there was a fair amount of interest from young and old alike.  My friend's 4 year old son had never seen a joystick in his life, and had no idea what to do with it.  The first 10 minutes was full of 'I can't do it' and 'what's this for?'.  I'm happy to say he picked it up soon after and managed to get through Green Hill Zone acts 1 and 2 by himself on Sonic.  More importantly he enjoyed himself for a good hour on there.

Very cool indeed! I love the cart slot. I can imagine it is really satisfying changing carts like that :)
