If not, then you’ve got one hell of a month coming up! Hopefully, you’ve played some of the best Sega Mega Drive games listed below before now. What follows is an attempt at pulling all of the memories I had as a kid and putting them onto digital paper. … nah, I’m talking about Sonic, of course! It didn’t matter whether I was dispersing my own kind of button-mashing-rage while travelling through the streets in Number 6 on our list or saving helpless penguins in the third-best title for the console, the control pad sure took a beating and never failed me once.Īnd then, of course, there’s the main man himself…
Like a crescent moon (just exercising my skills as a writer there), it felt so different to anything that I had used before. Growing up with the best SNES games and the best N64 games, the Mega Drive controller was always the best part of the console. It worked better for me as all of the games were much cheaper! My friends all had Mega Drives in their houses (Sega Genesis if you’re reading in the US), but I came to the game a little later. This game is part of a large collection of Mega Drive games in The Strong?s collection that represent nearly 100% of all games released for that system.I can still remember taking my pocket money down to the second-hand games store and buying a boxed Mega Drive and a bunch of the best Sega Mega Drive games.
Mega Drive games also received re-release as part of collector's editions for the Sony PS2 and PSP, and other systems, as well as being available for download on the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console. Games continued to be released internationally as recently as 2002. The first successful 16-bit system, the Mega Drive's 14-year lifespan places it second only to the Nintendo Game Boy. With seven distinct versions, it also has the largest number of licensed versions of any console. The Mega Drive/Genesis also supported a number of add-on components (32X, CD, Power Base Converter), making it one of the most flexible systems ever developed. The Genesis could do things that the NES simply couldn't.
Sega also focused attention on its better graphics, speed, and sound, especially after the release of Sonic. These efforts were often successful, as Sega marketed the Genesis as hip, cool, and edgy. In addition to porting over popular coin-op games, Sega executives worked hard to lure developers away from Nintendo. Dubbed the Genesis, this version was developed with the American market and consumer in mind. A year later, Sega released the Mega Drive in the United States. Released in 1988, the Sega Mega Drive heralded the coming of the 16-bit era and inaugurated the Console Wars of the 1990s.
