Product Description

From SEGA - A World Leader in Video Arcade Entertainment:

Only Sega, the master of arcade entertainment could introduce Genesis, a superior dimension in home video entertainment. Sega, the creator of today's most innovative arcade hits like Afterburner, Out-Run, Altered Beast, Thunder Blade and Zaxxon has unleashed the power of Genesis for unmatched playing power.

16-Bit - For Vivid Graphics and Realistic Sound:

Never before has 16-bit power been put to play in a home video game system. Until Genesis. Now the same 16-bit technology found only in arcade games and sophisticated computers, can produce high definition graphics and true sounds that bring games to life.

16-Bit - The Ultimate Dimension In Game Play:

New dimensions in sight, sound and experience are brought to life by the power of 16-Bit. The thrill of the arcade is brought home with the simulation games that put you in the cockpit. Opponents come alive in challenging sports competitions. And dangerous adventures put you on the edge of your seat with real and menacing foes.

Welcome to the next level:

Boasting an experience akin to that enjoyed in arcades, the Mega Drive appealed mainly to older gamers, with more mature titles than other consoles of the time. With an FM synthesiser, the system produced high-quality stereo music and sound effects; it contained 72 KB of RAM and 64 KB of video RAM, and could display up to 64 colours at once from a palette of 512.

The Sega Mega Drive – known in North America as the Sega Genesis – was released in Europe in November 1990. The 16-bit successor to the Master System, the Mega Drive treated gamers to bold graphics, fast gameplay, and synthesised stereo sound. Supported by top games such as the Sonic the Hedgehog series and a wide range of third-party titles, the Mega Drive sold over 40 million units worldwide, making it one of the most successful video game consoles of all time.

The Mega Drive collection:

Aside from Sonic the Hedgehog, the Mega Drive enjoyed a large library of games from many different genres – Disney tie-ins Aladdin and The Lion King enticed young players; fighting games and beat 'em ups such as Mortal Kombat and Streets of Rage catered to the more mature market; and titles like Battletoads, Ecco the Dolphin, and Michael Jackson's Moonwalker had something for everyone.

Initially sold with arcade beat 'em up classic Altered Beast, the Mega Drive became synonymous with its most popular series, Sonic the Hedgehog. Throughout the console's lifecycle, Sonic games remained the backbone of the library, from the eponymous first entry through to the revolutionary 3D title Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island.
