The Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive) was badass back in 1990, and not much has changed! Fortunately, unlike the NeoGeo, it was affordable back then and still is today. I remember getting "mine" in 1991 for my sister's birthday. Well.., that is, I ended up playing it a lot more than she did, so... yeah. Anyway, where do I begin? The machine was jet black and came with an attitude. It had amazing 16-bit graphics and one of the best sound chips I've ever heard. Oh, did I mention BLAST PROCESSING..? The Genesis had freaking BLAST PROCESSING, and that had me sold from day one! It would take a nearly perfect console such as this to do battle with Nintendo's looming juggernaut, the Super Nintendo, and it would be one of the closest fight in history. More >>
