*’CAPTAIN AMERICA’ + ‘THE AVENGERS’*
“COOL SPOT”
.
.
*known as the Mega Drive (Japanese: メガドライブ Hepburn: Mega Doraibu) in most regions outside ‘North America’*
.
*the Sega Genesis is a 16-bit home video game console which was developed + sold by “Sega Enterprises, Ltd”*
.
(the ‘Genesis’ was Sega’s third console and the successor to the ‘Master System’)
(‘Sega’ first released the console as the ‘Mega Drive’ in Japan in 1988, followed by a North American debut under the ‘Genesis’ moniker in 1989)
(in 1990, the console was distributed as the “Mega Drive” by “Virgin Mastertronic” in Europe, by “Ozisoft” in Australasia, and by “Tec Toy” in Brazil)
(in ‘South Korea’, the systems were distributed by ‘Samsung’ and were known as the Super Gam*Boy, and later the Super Aladdin Boy)
(designed by an R&D team supervised by ‘Hideki Sato’ and ‘Masami Ishikawa’, the hardware was adapted from Sega’s “System 16 arcade board”, centered on a “Motorola 68000 processor” as a primary CPU and a “Zilog Z80” as a secondary processor)
(the system supports a library of more than 900 games created both by ‘Sega’ and a wide array of third-party publishers and delivered on ROM-based cartridges)
(it can play “Master System” games when the separately sold “Power Base Converter” is inserted)
(the “Genesis” has benefited from several peripherals and network services, as well as multiple first-party and third-party variations of the console that focus on extending its functionality)
(in Japan, the “Mega Drive” did not fare well against its two main competitors, Nintendo’s “Super Famicom” and NEC’s “PC Engine”, although it achieved considerable success in ‘North America’, ‘Brazil’, and ‘Europe’)
(contributing to its success were its library of arcade game ports, the popularity of the Genesis-exclusive Sonic the Hedgehog series, several popular sports game franchises, and aggressive youth marketing that positioned the system as the “cool console” for adolescents)
(the release of the “Super Nintendo Entertainment System” two years after the ‘Genesis’ resulted in a fierce battle for market share in the United States and Europe that has often been termed as a “console war” by journalists and historians)
(as this contest drew increasing attention to the video game industry among the general public, the “Genesis” and several of its highest-profile games attracted significant legal scrutiny on matters involving reverse engineering and video game violence)
(controversy surrounding violent titles such as Night Trap and Mortal Kombat led Sega to create the “Videogame Rating Council”, a predecessor to the “Entertainment Software Rating Board”)
(‘Sega’ sold 30.75 million units worldwide)
(in addition, “Tec Toy” sold an estimated 3 million licensed variants in ‘Brazil’, ‘Majesco’ projected it would sell 1.5 million licensed variants of the system in the ‘United States’, and much smaller numbers were sold by ‘Samsung’ in ‘South Korea’)
(the console and its games continue to be popular among ‘game fans’, ‘game music fans’, ‘collectors’, and ’emulation enthusiasts’)
(as of 2015, licensed third party re-releases of the console are being sold by ‘AtGames’ in ‘North America’ and ‘Europe’)
(many games have been re-released in compilations for newer consoles and offered for download on various online services, such as “Virtual Console”, “Xbox Live Arcade”, “PlayStation Network”, and “steam”)
(the “Genesis” was succeeded by the “Sega Saturn”)
