| | The history of the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis series |
 | | Along with some minor differences, the major ones are, that the Mega Drive uses a slightly slower variant of the CPU (running at 7,61 MHz instead of 10 MHz), that it carries a cartridge slot instead of an onboard EPROM and that it doesn't have a cabinet screen, but a tv out port, of course. |
 | | The future of Sega and the Mega Drive would lead on to a new generation of console gaming, as Sega was already famous for their arcade titles, of which many were to be ported to the Mega Drive, as the first console, being able to bring arcade performance to the home user. |
 | | Although the Mega Drive software development kit was reported difficult to work with, there were more than 30 third party developers, writing games for the Sega's state of the art console by the end of 1990. |
