After the cult success of their 8-bit Master System, Sega decided to give gamers a taste of their arcade capabilities with a 16-bit console. Known worldwide as the Mega Drive but called Genesis in the US, it provided graphics and sound a couple of steps below their popular System 16 arcade cabinets. The Mega Drive/Genesis turned out to be Sega's most successful console.
"Sega Genesis felt up my cousin and blamed it on me."
The MD was no Paedo, it was 7.67MHz of sheer awesomeness!. Take your scandalous claims elsewhere Emilio!.

I really hope some of these make a return, I am pretty sure EA are working on the next Road Rash for 360 and PS3 so that's cool. Will Strider follow suit with Bionic Commando and make a return, I hope so, I think the game could be equally awesome if brought to life today.
That new Genesis Collection is coming out... I know I'll spend many nights playing those."
I have a ton of VC games but surprisingly have very few from that list of games in that collection. I'm glad I did not part with my Wii points now. I may get it, if it remains to be cheap when it arrives here. This "enhanced for HD thing" is a complete joke though.
