Sega Mega Drive
The Sega Mega Drive, also known as the Sega Genesis in North America, is a 16-bit video game console released by Sega in 1988.
It was designed to compete with Nintendo's Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and was Sega's third home console, after the SG-1000 and the Sega Master System.
The Mega Drive was a powerful console for its time and offered improved graphics and sound over its predecessors. It also had a wide range of popular games, including Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, and Phantasy Star IV.
The Mega Drive was also home to a number of accessories, including the Sega CD add-on, which allowed players to play games on CDs, and the 32X add-on, which added 32-bit graphics capabilities to the console. However, these add-ons were not as successful as Sega had hoped and did not sell well.
Despite this, the Mega Drive was a successful console for Sega and remains a beloved console among retro gaming enthusiasts. Its library of classic games and innovative design helped shape the video game industry and ensure its place in gaming history.
